Yes, you can call me Rob. I'm the Robotic Operation Buddy, bee-boop! (Sorry, I have a weird sense of humor.)

Ok Rob

Thanknyou that answers it I always thought Bob was a good name though what's the problematic one

There’s a black character called Spearchucker

Sorry to intrude, but my first name is Robert, and so is my dad and his dad. I can relate, lol!

I missed this comment but I called that the second the election was over the Tories would back down from any good promise. Granted I don't know how Labor deals with a hostile media, because even with leadership change you'll have the exact same problem, except Brexit happens and Tories try and pass the blame again.

One of my professors has said that intelligence is not really genetic, and is caused mostly by environmental factors. I guess exceptions to that are if you inherited a genetic disability.

Yeah it's not so much as genetic thing but having the options to best focus on learning in their best way. It's why IQ tests are a bad scale because it's just one way out of many.

After hearing Johnson basically say that we shouldn't worry about global warming if we will die in a few billion years, I had very little faith in him (not that I had a ton to begin with).

So who would you think is better, Hillary or Biden?

Hillary is better with issues but mostly out out of a sense that they're popular rather than them being correct, while Biden is way more personally self-destructive. So while I think Biden is more "Electable" for how meaningless it is now, Hillary's stated positions were better but I doubt they would be fully followed up on.

I play the games when they come out and get into it off and on, but Gen 7 just started off at a bad time where I was super busy. I'm thinking about being more involved in Gen 8 VGC.

After a while crocodile

bobjr you got exposed as an alligator tbh

Ha no, but at the same time I was looking for a new avatar

I think you were the one who first showed me Hbomberguy content. There are many Youtubers that I watch, but I don't watch every video they make, so I guess that's why I asked, lol. Anyway, the Climate Change video spoke more to me because I find it frustrating that people deny science I specialize in.

Obviously, the Earth being round is also scientific, but that's less disputed. I did like it when Hbomberguy compressed a picture of a circle he drew in a response to a denier who did the same thing to planet Earth.

Oh yeah I'm someone who does deep dives like him, so I do think part of it is the flat earth people are less depressing in a way. Like they're crazy, but ultimately harmless in comparison to the people to are climate change deniers.

Beto to me has the Joe Biden "We will consider to do something about it!" thing to me, where they don't really acknowledge the problem in the first place. Candidates like Yang and WIlliamson are crazy, but weirdly enough they recognize the problems, they just have solutions like magic crystals and the worst kind of UBI.

Biden took a big hit in the debates when people realized he's actually not that great of a candidate. Harris will get a big bump now, but with her record she'll have to fight against that.

And it's hard because I think both tend to be good overall, but they have different flaws that are hard to tell would do worse. Like how Warren is easier to bait into a dumb move, but Bernie's age affects him. Either one is still better than the rest for me

Warren's up there with Bernie for someone who'd actually push for good progressive policies. Everyone else will probably just kind of give up on it.

And yeah Biden is the second worst option policy wise for anyone in the top 20. Considering his whole things so far have been "My friend Dick Cheny" "Young people have it too easy" and "We don't have time to fix healthcare"

Who's the worst option policy wise?

Probably Gabbard, but she's in the "Has like 0 chance" group now.

If you can make a good opening statement I think it's better remade, but as long as it isn't a one line comment I'm not too strict on the rule.

I wish Bernie was 30 years younger but right now him. We need someone who would push for real change and he's the best one if that regard.

I hope that didn't come across to awkwardly. I was just trying to give you a compliment. I don't 100% like the way I look, but I guess I don't hate the way I look either.

Duckworth is up there but is a bit too militaristic, but that's to be expected. If I had to pick three right now I would like it would be her, Booker, or Warren. They'll all have flaws, and someone else might come up and surprise us, but their pros will outweigh the cons.
