[2016-11-10. : 10:54 pm]  Moose -- But really, though, it's Yale. They ain't canceling shit if the Democrat wins, let's be real. X^D[2016-11-10. : 10:53 pm]  Lanthanide -- except Sanders won New Hampshire and was only narrowly beaten by Clinton in Iowa[2016-11-10. : 10:51 pm]  Roy -- Hillary had a strong lead because nobody knew who else was running for the Democratic nomination until things were well underway. That's really all it was.[2016-11-10. : 10:51 pm] Lanthanide -- Trump wasn't a republican either, but obviously he had name recognition[2016-11-10. : 10:51 pm] Lanthanide -- Bernie wasn't even a democrat until 3 weeks before he threw his hat into the ring[2016-11-10. : 10:50 pm] Roy -- Hillary won because she established her name before people knew who Bernie was. He gained a lot more traction in the second half of the primaries, and had they been polled again, it would have been a different result. Follow-up polls confirmed this.[2016-11-10. : 10:49 pm] Lanthanide -- RoyRoy shouted: They should have canceled exams when the DNC fucked over the voice of the people by strategically ruining Bernie Sanders' campaign for a candidate nobody wanted. Hillary won the popular vote in the primary, so she was the voice of the people[2016-11-10. : 10:48 pm] Lanthanide -- and something like 45% of people didn't even vote (a further 7% couldn't vote)[2016-11-10. : 10:48 pm] Lanthanide -- anyway, if Trump had 1% lower vote, and Clinton 1% higher, she would have won with about 305 EC votes[2016-11-10. : 10:48 pm] lil-Inferno -- "OOP is fucking retarded. I will bomb the shit out of anyone who uses OOP." -Donald J. Trump[2016-11-10. : 10:48 pm] Roy -- They should have canceled exams when the DNC fucked over the voice of the people by strategically ruining Bernie Sanders' campaign for a candidate nobody wanted.[2016-11-10. : 10:46 pm] Lanthanide -- the protests that are happening now in the US, aren't that different than what happened in 2008[2016-11-10. : 10:46 pm] Lanthanide -- if you put this on the level of grief as a pet dying, which I don't think is an unfair comparison, then is it appropriate to give compassionate consideration for exams that are close to the election date[2016-11-10. : 10:44 pm] Lanthanide -- RoyRoy shouted: Lanthanide He should call it "Don't ask, don't tell". it's the defence of family values act or some-such bullshit[2016-11-10. : 10:43 pm] Lanthanide -- Mini Moose 2707Mini Moose 2707 shouted: Btu feeling worse about their pet dying versus their parents? ah, yeah, I never said that, nor even implied it[2016-11-10. : 10:43 pm] CecilSunkure -- Like Moose pointed out the idea of a spectrum, which implies judgement calls on whether or not to issue "compassion"[2016-11-10. : 10:43 pm] Roy -- LanthanideLanthanide shouted: you're still allowed to be gay, but if you talk about it, that's bad He should call it "Don't ask, don't tell".[2016-11-10. : 10:43 pm] Moose -- Like, there's probably some outliers who do, but I don't think that's the majority.[2016-11-10. : 10:43 pm] CecilSunkure -- I don't think emotional responses to Trump getting elected deserve compassion, for the majority of cases, including the Yale thing[2016-11-10. : 10:43 pm] Lanthanide -- and probably that's not really a bad analogy for this type of grief[2016-11-10. : 10:42 pm] Lanthanide -- I've heard of people getting compassionate consideration for when a pet dies[2016-11-10. : 10:42 pm] Lanthanide -- for most, it won't be that bad, but it's still enough to interfere with study and exams[2016-11-10. : 10:42 pm] Moose -- "is an emotional loss equivalent to losing a parent" like, this part[2016-11-10. : 10:41 pm] Moose -- Conditional on feeling as bad as a parent spouse dying, not on feeling anything.[2016-11-10. : 10:41 pm] Moose -- Like, this a spectrum: shouldn't feel shit ----------- me ---------- literally worst thing ever[2016-11-10. : 10:41 pm] Moose -- LanthanideLanthanide shouted: but that doesn't mean their feeling aren't gennuine, or that there's something wrong with them as human beings I'm not saying their feelings aren't genuine.[2016-11-10. : 10:40 pm] Moose -- LanthanideLanthanide shouted: well you're disagreeing with psychology of humans, in that case Like Holmes and Rahe?[2016-11-10. : 10:39 pm] Lanthanide -- but that doesn't mean their feeling aren't gennuine, or that there's something wrong with them as human beings[2016-11-10. : 10:39 pm] CecilSunkure -- I don't think his comments are racist or bigoted, and think it's silly to say they are[2016-11-10. : 10:39 pm] Lanthanide -- are people over-reacting, will Trump be as bad as the fear? probably, and probably not[2016-11-10. : 10:39 pm] Lanthanide -- well you're disagreeing with psychology of humans, in that case[2016-11-10. : 10:39 pm] Moose -- Well, I disagree but I can't tell people how to feel, so that's that.[2016-11-10. : 10:37 pm] Lanthanide -- Trump's racist and biggotted comments are likely to result in the same situation in the US - even if no laws change, many people in public will feel like they can act with impunity[2016-11-10. : 10:37 pm] Lanthanide -- also in Russia, the police etc themselves are homophobic, so don't really care about the crimes being committed, which perpetuates the whole situation[2016-11-10. : 10:36 pm] Lanthanide -- of course, and people are upset at the real prospect that they are going to happen now[2016-11-10. : 10:35 pm] Moose -- LanthanideLanthanide shouted: you might think "ok, fine, what's wrong with that?" No, to be clear, I think all of these are bad things that should not be done.[2016-11-10. : 10:35 pm] Lanthanide -- bacause a lot of members of public now think they have the right to be homophobic and attack people who are gay[2016-11-10. : 10:35 pm] Lanthanide -- except that hate crimes in Russia have risen hugely as a result of that policy change[2016-11-10. : 10:34 pm] Lanthanide -- you're still allowed to be gay, but if you talk about it, that's bad[2016-11-10. : 10:34 pm] Lanthanide -- in Russia, Putin passed laws outlawing "homosexual propaganda"[2016-11-10. : 10:34 pm] Lanthanide -- also, the tenor of the political leadership in the country, affects how people behave on a day to day basis[2016-11-10. : 10:34 pm] Lanthanide -- for a lot of people, those are very important rights that they are now facing losing[2016-11-10. : 10:33 pm] Lanthanide -- and since he's going to likely have 2-3 supreme court noms, there's a very good chance he will succeed[2016-11-10. : 10:33 pm] Lanthanide -- Trump has said he'll try and repeal marriage equality, and get Woe v Wade appealed |
