This is sort of demonstratively untrue. The Democratic Party JUST got its ass kicked running a Presidential candidate who focused on racial and gender divides over economic issues, against a candidate who is maybe the weakest person alive on those issues.

People irrationally opposed to electric vehicles have been leaning on this specious argument for years. I remember the first one that went around relied on nickel batteries being dirty to produce, all hybrids being shipped from Japan, AND an assumption that every Chevy Suburban would be on the road for 200,000 miles,…

When the Terror asked Alexa to “play ominous music,” I thought it wouldn’t trigger our Echo, because the Echo ads on TV never have.

A lot of people, across a lot of demographics, had this reaction to Trump’s election. The spaces I found myself in were full of all kinds of people, most with stricken looks and gritted teeth, whispering urgently in disbelief.

I’d like to know how the city (and the state?) had a set of policy procedures in place where protesters can congregate in armed, armor-wearing groups.

I know First Amendment law, probably better than you know anything in your life. Want to get into it? Please proceed. Go ahead and get “granular” if you think you can, “Bish.”

I don’t think it’s the existence news or media coverage itself that’s the problem. David Duke doesn’t come off as “legitimate” just because he’s on television.

The opinion that you don’t get to murder people whose beliefs you don’t like is really just one thought though.

The way an open democratic society and our First Amendment is supposed to work is that all sides are permitted to speak. There’s no way around that without becoming authoritarian. What’s supposed to happen is that debate reveals the truth, and we move on from there.

Ha! I remember the CD review of the Impala SS said something like “’Lub-lub-lub’ — that’s the sound Impala’s engine makes at 140 mph. This car is nuts.”

Came from the Car & Driver review, if I remember correctly.

I’ve wondered this too, and have concluded that it’s a peculiar quirk of human psychology that we can be born (or indoctrinated) into all kinds of objectively loony belief systems.

Personal style choice. :D

He did it. “Doesn’t recall” and “doesn’t believe” aren’t things a person who has, say, never sent an unsolicited d*ck pic says about whether or not he sent a particular unsolicited d*ck pic.

That was what I always thought. Even with women colleague/ friends in a social setting, I just defer to whatever they instigate. Also defer to the weight of the handshake. Some women seem to want the delicate version, but if squeezed, I squeeze back. Never assume a hug.

I’ve read similar things about Porsche dealerships on this site before. Is it really the policy of exclusive dealers of high-end cars to determine who is a serious potential buyer vs. a “kid” looking for a “joyride” by just taking a quick look and insulting anyone who doesn’t smell sufficiently loaded to the sales…

No. Eyeballing someone and deciding to dismiss them as a customer is not justified, period. If the vehicle is so rare / costly / delicate that the dealership needs something special like a credit check, deposit, verification of income, etc. for a test drive, that would be easy enough to explain.

You can understand why people would posture this way, but of course no one takes it literally, because what’s being said is the opposite of what is meant.

NO, this doesn’t even “sound good on paper.” It sounds like another policy designed to

When the waitress at converted gas station restaurant in Cedar Key seemed not to recognize the andouille sausage dish I ordered, I should have known. No telling where they were keeping that sausage, or how long they’d had it. Not only was it the last thing I ate — it felt like the last thing I would *ever* eat.
