  • So yes, I realize this a joke map (honestly, a giant, probably mostly freshwater sea, in the US would be a blessing). But what you're describing is the main issue with climate change.

    It's not going to be "the day after tomorrow". It will be coastal cities... which are... like nearly ALL of them... losing all their economic value. In the US when having this conversation I say "what do you do when any building in Manhattan is uninsurable? What do you do when it's sure to have severe damage?".

    For most people there are plenty of places to go, but the "going" is going to be very, very ugly.

  • Lol. I get it. I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times I'm sure: it's got a lot of problems, but I like the framework the NAP provides. It's explicit and provides a place to work from.

    They're not all crazy "public roads are theft" folks. And again, remember the party soundly rejected trump. IME a lot of libertarians are generally supportive of social programs, so long as they're egalitarian.

    But what really rustles jimmies is the cut and dry stuff. I will never be able to get over democrats being on the wrong side of gay marriage, even in the name of pragmatism. I'll support them out of pragmatism, but I'm bitter about it.

    But to the point of this thread: very little of that matters if there's not a next election. I'll take the party that fumbled gay marriage in the late 2000s VS. The one that wants to kill my friends 1000/10 times.

    And again to the point of this thread: it's telling, and gives me faith in my party, there is no "Garry Johnson" this year.

  • As someone in a state where my presidential vote is very much decided... I voted Gary Johnson in 2016. I know there are a lot of very real critiques of the libertarian party and/or platform, but it's really sad the green party puts it to shame... it's not a high bar.

    My point being... wtf is she still doing doing this stuff? Libertarians push local candidates all the damn time, and make a push for the presidential seat when they can, but soundly rejected Trump, and hell, even in 2016 you had the VP libertarian cantidate saying "vote Hillary". Like I am upset as anyone else, but if you're still in the green party you're just kidding yourself... and thats from a freaking libertarian that hates his party a good 50% of the time.

  • A longtime GOP operative helped the Green Party’s Jill Stein get on the N.H. ballot. Democrats smell mischief.

  • Like a lot of things it's very coruptible. I'd say the things that make it borscht are: beets, tomatoes, sour cream and the dill really is the thing (although again, if you just plain don't like dill don't force it).

    Do it by the recipie(ish) once then make it your own :). Tomatoa broth isn't terribly common in recipies.

  • Borcht is delicious. It's beef/chicken/protein veg with beets as a kind of stew with a sort of tomato creme sauce. You typically serve it with a genous dollop of sour cream and dill. The dill is optional (I know some people hate that flavor) but in my opion is really key.

    It doesn't really have a particular scent other than "stew". It's great in a slow cooker, and you can bastardize/customize it if you want (although it may not technically be Borcht at that point). If I don't have beef I'll do it with polish sausage and sometimes had boiled eggs.

    10/10 don't sleep on tasty European tomato beet meat stew. Stew/soup season is coming.

  • What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)?
