Everything.  It's a clash of civilizations, of basic value systems.

I mean I agree with that. Many of the shit-fights we have are predicated on fundamental differences in how we perceive the world, and in values.

I don't follow how that makes the shit-fights themselves asymmetrical. Can you explain?

Wherein lies the assymmetry?

Those both suggest a symmetry that I don't believe exists.

We can all be dicks, some more than others, but I don't think theres an asymmetry when we devolve to bitch fests. We're all equally powerful and powerless. I mean I guess you can carve out Jacob and Baron, but they're pretty chill all things considered.

What about recognizing the outcome? Let's say the Dems take the House or Senate - what if Trump/Vance says those elections were fraudulent and refuses to have them sworn in (or swears in GOP candidates instead) ?

That's the bigger question. I could easily see FBI agents seizing voting machines due to "suspicions of fraud." The backlash would be ferocious, but the MAGAts wouldn't care so long as the Republicans retained control of the House.

The ones that aren't Dominion Liberty Vote anyway...

You don't often make good points, but when you finally do, you hit it right on the nose.

This post does not seem to live up to the standard of discourse you like to hold other posters to.

I mean, it was kind of funny but it was also the kind of personal attack you frame as bullying when directed at posters you agree with.

Languish is no place for that kind of self reflection

The Midnight Club, S1. I liked it, I think it's very well made.

Frankenstein. Not a good movie, I might finish it later but it wasn't interesting enough to finish in one sitting. Apart from severe general blandness, my biggest objection is that they make Frankenstein a simple Reanimator who assembles pre-owned body parts. The whole point of the book is that Frankenstein creates life, and that the Creature confronts his Creator. Book Frankenstein uses body parts in his R&D to understand how the body works, but he doesn't use them for production.

saw Frankenstein last night; and found it pretty slow.

I also thought the Midnight Club was boring.
