Careful, these are the same people that warned that by the mid 2000s the polar ice caps would be gone and the oceans would rise 15 feet. Ecofacism is the new hip thing. Government/Corporate partnerships to force environmentalism on everyone under the guise of saving the earth. Nevermind the millions of years of…

First we amused ourselves to death, now we are conveniencing ourselves to death.

I think If you eliminated a lot of our current social programs and just gave people enough money to get what they felt like they needed it might be cheaper. If done right it could possibly eliminate SNAP, public housing, unemployment insurance, etc and all the bureaucracy supporting those programs.

Why can’t otherwise rational people see that the entire healthcare debate is about cost?

Yes, you can cause a single payer, nationalized system but not without massive tax increases. Then what do you have? An even more expensive system, less money in your pocket, and from all accounts where this is tried, far worse…

Not only is this statement awful for moral reasons, it’s also pretty bad for scientific reasons.

I am absolutely sure that will not work.

Or, it could be that gender-swapping as a trope is a generally terrible idea on top of being mechanically difficult to pull off. It’s why every time they try to make Superman into “Superwoman”, it never sticks. If you want something to be successful, you have to at least kind of stick to traditional gender roles.…

Simply no sympathy for either person. Two assholes on a road being assholes. Both were bound to get fucked.

Umm.... are you stu stu stupid?
“I see, as you do, and with the deepest affliction, the rapid strides with which the federal branch of our government is advancing towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the States, and the consolidation in itself of all powers, foreign and domestic; and that, too, by…

20,000 years is considerably earlier than when the Sun is likely to expand. Wildlife lives in the surrounding area right now.

As with most frivolous lawsuits, she is just out to make a buck. I suspect his endorsements were her main source of income, and him being without that plus all the legal fees have left her broke. It is not the fault of the Subway corporation that she married him.

“Right now, the billionaire does not have permission to send a single robotic probe to Mars, much less thousands of Earth citizens.”

As vehemently pro-choice I am, I think that criticism is somewhat unfair. The way they see it, a fetus is a baby - and babies are innocent. People who are on death row are violent murderers, and not innocent.

I'm not sure I would bother with that, unless it is in a public space. I would imagine the safe is there to keep the occupants (children) of your house safe from accidentally getting ahold of it. Even if a burglar saw that video, unless they knew something really valuable were in the safe, they probably would give it…

I can easily explain why, in purely logical terms.

No Shit.

Jesus Christ I can’t believe how stupid some of the comments are here. Do you really think a judge votes whatever the fuck she/he wants based on his/her political opinion or feelings about the case?

Even the “pictures” contained within each constellation - thus surving as its photographic representation - are each an asterism.

Not that atomic war isn’t terrifying beyond rational capacity, but most people, oddly, assume nuclear war would be far worse than it really would be. A proper “airburst” explosion delivers maximum damage, but for practical and deployed bombs that’s a few miles, and the 100% kill range is “only” a few thousand yards…
