Our “side” attempted to burn down federal courthouses and police stations in Seattle, Portland, and other places. That’s just as bad. I’m honestly less concerned about some yahoos storming the Capitol than I am with some yahoos closing down one of my own city’s four police precincts. One of those things puts my family…

Yeah. It’s like the author is looking for an excuse to be a victim and is looking for people to paint as villains. Having a last name that everyone gets wrong had one impact on me - it caused me and my wife to pick very simple to pronounce first names for our kids. They didn’t need two impossible names. So that’s what…

Why would anyone be offended if someone took a good faith guess at a name and got it wrong? I have a last name that literally every person I have ever met got wrong the first time. So what? I correct them and continue to do so if they continue to get it wrong. Who cares? I kind of like it because I can immediately…

A certain percentage of people will die at any given time. If you vaccinate everyone, some of them will die within a short period of time just because. Just like surely a few hundred people voted for president by mail and then died prior to election day. It happens. It statistically has to happen.

She’s right though. We didn’t wait to test transmission prior to emergncy approval but if this vaccine were to allow transmission it would be essentially unique among vaccines. Really no vaccine lets you pass the disease it prepares your body to fight. Not chicken pox. Not flu. None of them. So yes, the CDC is right…

Are you an elite athlete? I’m all for trans rights in 99.9% of life, but women’s sports are a different thing. Going through puberty with testes gives a woman a tremendous advantage later, even if those testes are removed. Like taking HGH throughout puberty would give a person an advantage even after they stopped…

One book is all that is needed. (plus a consistent schedule)

If you have the willpower to go on a several day long hunger strike, at some point they have to feed you or else they are liable for your death by starvation. This dude seemingly did that. That gives them two choices, feed you what you will eat, or tie you down and force-feed you - usually by IV.

Arguing in bad faith? Have you ever done elsewise?

It’s more than that. A character like Superman couldn’t get buff. He would have no way of building muscle. His body would look like someone in zero G who never has to move anything massive. His muscles would atrophy and he’d be skinny or fat depending on his diet. Not muscular. Building muscle takes resistance. How is…

What’s good about a “balanced court?” There would be no majority opinion most of the time. I’ve been practicing law for years and I’ve never encountered a court with an even number of judges. Every single U.S. State has it’s own supreme court and every one of them is an odd number.

There is a well known saying in engineering, Cheap, Fast, and Good, pick two.

No one balks at an 8 year old acting in a movie. It’s just like that. Obviously an 8 year old cannot sign a contract and hopefully his parents aren’t taking advantage of him. That’s always the issue with child actors. Ideally, a court appointed guardian who has no stake in the kid’s money is approving the terms and…

I’ll have to check out that episode. 

Says the guy with shitty reading comprehension skills. Who thinks that a comment wondering why white anarchists were hijacking the BLM movement in Portland means that I think white anarchists “run” BLM everywhere. Who thinks a comment defining blackface defends blackface. Who thinks a comment pointing out that most…

What bothers you about Superman killing Zod? Are you mad that a story was written that basically required him to have no choice but to kill Zod? Or do you think that Superman should have, I don’t even know, not killed Zod somehow?

Agreed. We need to do proper science. If we are going to carve out competition for women, we have to agree on a what a woman is.

Sorry that those people did that to you. Don’t see why that makes you a doctor. I have never understood why any Ph.D.s calls themselves “Doctor.” I have a J.D. and I (and no lawyer) would dream of calling themselves “Doctor” even though the D in J.D. means Doctor just as the D in Ph.D. means Doctor.

That’s a very bad fall. His head hits solid pavement loud enough to hear inside the plane. His eggs are scrambled.

I’m shocked that you do. She asks and he gives her an out and says no. They she goes on about how it’s a sensitive time and we just watched a white man knock a black man out. She’s explaining why it isn’t a joke.
