    Is the typo in your user description intentional?

    Did you ever see Hbomberguy's video on Global Warming (A Measured Response)?

    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.

    I have opinions on other candidates. For example, Jay Inslee is fighting for the right cause, but I don't think he's a good public speaker.
    I personally like Beto O'Rourke but I think he was a better Texas Senator candidate than a presidential one. I don't think he takes the strongest stances.

    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.

    One of my frustrations about the Democratic Run is that I feel that the more progressive Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will have votes split between them whereas Biden is unaffected.

    I kind of wish one of them would drop the run to support the other. I think I'm more for Warren, but I'd vote for Sanders if he were leading.

    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
    Auraninja
    What do you think of Elizabeth Warren?

    I feel like she has brought out issues and campaign endeavors that not many other runners are doing.

    Also, I kind of hope Biden does not get the nomination. I mean, I would vote for him against Trump, but he feels very meh for a Democrat.

    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.

    does the no bumping rule apply to the debate forum threads? asking because every thread on the first page had its last post more than 2 months ago

    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.

    Out of everybody who is running for Democratic nominee in 2020, who do you think would be the best choice (regardless of their chances)?
    bobjr
    bobjr
    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.
    Auraninja
    You're a real looker. I haven't aged well with my excess facial hair that I only shave occasionally and my slightly larger-than-normal weight.

    On the plus side, nobody would really fall in love with me over my looks.

    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.

    Can you do something about Kutie Pie in the dating thread? He's being an antagonistic **** at this point.

    Who do you think should run for Democratic nominee in 2020?

    Personally, I would like Tammy Duckworth. She's a great "cut-the-crap" type of senator. I don't know how much she would want to run though.

    What's your take?
    bobjr
    bobjr
    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.

    Hi, I was just going through the Entertainment forum, and I saw that there were multiple threads regarding sports like the NBA and NFL thread. So I was just wondering that would it be OK if I create a thread regarding the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2018 there(soccer)?
    345ash-greninja
    345ash-greninja
    Soccer is of course a hugely popular sport in the world, so I'm pretty sure that many users in Serebii are following the current FIFA World Cup. I just thought that I should ask you about this before attempting to make a thread regarding that, because you are a mod of that section. :)
    bobjr
    bobjr
    Yeah you can make a World Cup thread for sure.

    What is your full opinion on Thomas Jefferson? You mentioned a couple of loaded details about him, but how do you view him as a whole?
    bobjr
    bobjr
    Generally worse than your average person. While he came to the correct conclusion that slavery was wrong, he refused to actually do anything to fix it because it would negatively affect him. He was a better choice than John Adams, but only because he was a different kind of crazy.
    Auraninja
    It's weird. A small school I been to gets really well-known, but only out of a tragedy.

    It's just an odd feeling. I never been to the high school (left after 2nd grade), but some things hit too close to home.

    Of course, with the increasing number of incidents, finding some sort of connection becomes all the easier for many more people.

    That's fantastic! I think I was veering hard into cog neuro territory when last I tread these grounds. But I'm tickled to know a friend who caught the same basic bug I did. What was it about people's interaction with the internet that motivated your choice? (You're modest, but I can see fertile ground for curiosity there - the UX field is fairly active and depends on research in that vein.)

    Also, what do you do around here these days? I've had a good explore now, and SPPf appears to be experiencing a lull. How long has it been like this?
    P
    That means you're mature, right? Congratulations on the goal being in sight! What did you end up choosing to get graduate-edumacated in?

    Hey ho, Sogeking. Bobjr, rather. I hope you're still well and sane and experiencing good things in life. I'm not sure how I find myself back here today, but anyway not without sending you a friendly thought. ^_^
