I was kinda wondering if Tim would be streaming or tweeting, but he's not

All predictions were that Dems take the house. Yeah, there was a chance that predictions were wrong like 2016, but I'm not gonna be surprised if they do win.

F

At least Reps got Senate gains

It's all hispanics down there

everyone in CA has their heads so far up their own asses that seeing shit is the norm for them

Disillusioned Californians and Hispanics come here and vote blue

Corpus Christi is pretty small compared to everything else in the state

I've been hearing some Dems do not want Pelosi as speaker again

gross

pretty much

It's hard to overcome +10

I'm just happy Beto lost. The enormous amounts of salt over that one man... it fills me with joy

Executive order term limits when

Those are both your perceptions on the temperature in the room. The room's temperature is objective.

Yeah

Okay. I was wondering if anyone was actually claiming there was no objective reality.

Oh man... I think that'

Units used to measure time are arbitrary, but time itself exists

Days and years are maybe the only ones that aren't arbitrary because one day is equal to one rotation of the Earth, and one year is equal to a complete revolution of the Earth around the sun

But they are relative measures. There is no objective way to measure time.

Measurement of time is a descriptor, but time itself is not

If I'm remembering correctly, a better way to understand time on a metaphysical level is to synonymize time with change

Change is universal

not really; it's just the symbolic representation of the underlying logic that can be inconsistent

That's different. Value can change.

yeah, metaphysical stuff like this is pretty useless in everyday life

They're questions about the nature of reality itself, so it has its place

@Existence is identity I wasn't saying that reason is unimportant. I was saying questions like "does time exist" don't have much impact on one'

s daily life.

@Existence is identity Metaphysics: "a division of philosophy that is concerned with the fundamental nature of reality and being"

Reason is important; I'm not contesting that

If you say so

I'm pretty sure gay marriage went through the Supreme Court, and not Congress

I think that's unlikely ever to happen

I don't think it's an issue at this point. There's no need for a "hearts and minds" campaign. The decision was made. I don't see many people angry and making areal effort to reverse the Supreme Court ruling.

Have there been many stories of violence against LGBT's since the SC ruling?

As far as I've seen, the gay marriage question is a non-issue at this point.

Can you point me to examples of an anti-LGBT reaction since the SC ruling?

Trump was for LGBT though...

Anyway, my point is that I'm not seeing anyone trying to overturn the SC ruling. I don't think gay marriage is an issue. You don't need outright support for it; you just need indifference.

What do you mean?

Nothing's at risk. No one opposes it. Not the Republican party, not the Democrats, not the Libertarians... It's a non-issue as far as I can tell.

Yes, I get it, but they're not campaigning to reverse the SC decision.

You're saying that there'll be a counter movement as a result to it being forced, but I'm just not seeing one.

The has to be a case before the court can overturn precedent

The court can't out of the blue say "Yeah, we don't like that, so that's gone"

When has legal precedent been overturned without a case?

Gross

Oh geez lmao

As I see it, she mismanage her own finances, so you can't trust her with the nation's

I don't think she realizes anything

I think she's too dumn

The media is so hellbent on calling them far-right, but they're really pretty benign

I know

Timpool is his main channel...

He's said this several times over the last few days, that Tim Pool is his main

"Foreign nationals" not "Foreign nationalists"

The two have very different meanings

Democrats'll do whatever they can for votes. Non-citizens, minors, the dead...

It's fresh meat

@JohnOakman It's disappointing, but I don't know if there's much to say about it.

I’d believe it.

@Coochie coo wait, you’re talking about the caravans?

Mexiclose the borders

I have a friend who I'd say was likely turned gay.

It's anecdotal, and can't in any way be indicative of how most gay people are, but I'm fairly certain of it

Well, I base it on my knowledge of him as a person.

?

Heh

Don't you want to move to another topic though...

@¯\_(ツ)_/¯ true

By all means, continue if you want. I'm just growing tired of this topic.

@SantaSoc Are you looking for an answer?

Heh. Well, I didn't know if you were alluding to my name or the actual philosophy.

Well, you've assumed me to be more sophisticated than I am then.

I liked it as a name because it sounded cool. I took it mean something between nihilism and absurdism

The actual philosophy is something I'm not very well acquainted with.

Oh man... I was thinking about that earlier

Eric "Give your gun or I'll nuke you for fun" Swalwell

@¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Can confirm. Austin is full of them.

Nice place except for the politics

I think Tim did a video about that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRonEobJazQ&t=1s

I assumed it was Saudis at the time

No, it was a hoax

I'm fairly certain someone spraypainted it on a synagogue

The news story made it blow up and that's what made "kill all jews" trend

Oh, I see, thanks

"It's only free speech when we do it"

And they continue to use an imprecise definition of "alt-right" to scare people

Yeah, I'm done with critics.
