I totally support things that truly offend people for good reason — confederate memorials from the early 20th century erected by white legislators as a form of social intimidation? Clearly a bad idea.

Agreed that this is stupid and unnecessary. It’s as if they were trying to find controversial things where they don’t exist so they can very publicly fix them and show how sensitive they are. 

I can agree with some of the justifications but whitelist/blacklist I will never understand. I have yet to see a valid argument since the term is not by nature racist or specifically pointing out the racism in America. I just had a discussion with my wife on how when using these terms in tech it has been more of an…

I always thought of it as this:

Nope nope nope. Been saying it all along, the entire concept of “I don’t like and don’t understand Murder-Dolores” has always been a headfake on the viewer. The entire point of this show has always been that Robert Ford realized that Dolores was the best thing he and Arnold created. Am I a Dolores fanboy? Sure I am.…

Building an economy and society that abandons so-called “car culture” won’t be easy.

What a cesspool of attempted projective control. Where is common courtesy and consideration toward those confused by the cross-currents of passing fancy and tradition?

Is it odd that made me snicker?

She sounds a particularly silly bint, doesn’t she? *counting to see if enough words were used to give the impression of having said that politely* Particularly when she states “As a woman, I maintain a bustling control center behind my thoughts where everything said to me is parsed for evidence of impending physical…

It’s a short easy way to say, I read and acknowledge your text. What nut thinks would see OK or K and think “how rude”?

And for those outside of the USA . . .

Who rules Frogtown?

I’m topping off my V8 Interceptor for the chaos to come.

we’re never going to get an actual debate on the merits of these systems.

More fucking horseshit.

Phillips did not “enter the space between them” - he explicitly said on CBS News that he walked into the high school group to prevent them from harassing the poor innocent black protesters. The fact that those black protesters were using vile, homophobic, racist language is downplayed by you,…

As they were a large group a school trip, they were probably limited in their ability to just walk away.

Without questioning whether the kid acted as awfully as portrayed, I must say that the lead speaker in the “Black Israelite cult,” without a doubt a fully grown man, comes off as the most vile, inflammatory person in the video.

Stupid, Sweden tried it and it failed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_financial_transaction_tax

Actually yeah...
