It's the fallacy of "I made all my own success." I hear this all the time from well-off people who come from well-off families. They very well may have created everything they have, but they are also completely ignorant of the opportunities created for them simply by being raised in a well-off family. There is zero concept of choosing between dental health or eating, car repair or heating, etc.

My guess is that all those people who didn't show up to vote dem weren't around to vote for the other dem items.

Your comment gives me the urge to create other maps you can comment on so that I can triangulate your position.

The environmental impacts are going to be awful. With Chevron stripped and full gop legislative control it's going to be free reign for companies to pollute whatever they want.

Exactly! The best thing I ever did was find two similar movies with similar scores, but I hated one and loved the other, then find any critics that agreed with me. Turned out there were only two and one of those ended up being one of the most enriching people I read regularly even today.

The critic is Walter Chaw and the movies were Live Free Or Die Hard and X-men 3. Both stupid action flicks that got similar RT scores, but I hated X-men 3 and loved Die Hard. Instantly fell in love with Walter Chaw when I saw his blurb for X-men 3 was "Michael Bay's Schindler's List." lol

Have you ever read the comics? Quick read, and vol 2 is a straight up banger.

This is your regular reminder that a 20% on Rotten Tomatoes means that 20% of reviewers liked the movie. The RT score represents chance that a reviewer liked it, not overall weighted score or how much they enjoyed it.

There are so many things at stake, but people really don't know how bad Trump's supreme court has fucked the environment already. Getting the average voter to care about it won't happen until it's far too late. I try to just not think about it.

The best, simplest summation I've seen. Thank you. I've been searching for something to make sense of it and this is definitely it. Being forced into voting for the "least worst" candidate obscures where that path is headed by either candidate.

The article is literally right there. Why are you being weird about this?

Shhh

They're showing us the "Confused hard soft create man times" phase.

In healthcare IT there's often a person who specializes in just printers. My friend makes a lot of money doing that.
