The entire discourse has been systemically shoved so far to the right that what we term ‘centrist’ these days is still conservative.

Because she naively thinks that public opinion polls matter to extremists. You think Alabama gave a shit about what a majority of Americans wanted when they enacted that law? Fuck no. They even said they didn't!

“Believing in shared values between rights activists and authoritarians is idiocy.”

Wen is doing what Joe Biden thought he was doing: looking for compromise on a binary issue, which is impossible.

Yes, I’m a liberal white woman in a liberal city in Kentucky that is shamefully responsible for McConnell and Paul Rand (seriously, we are the worst). I don’t want to hear anybody talking about which candidate will be “electable” to white female voters (spoiler alert: the media will say Biden). Democrats need to get…

Gee, it sure is nice seeing the worst people having so much fun and getting everything they’ve ever wanted. 

Have you considered that it’s across their throat even at the lowest setting? There’s a pretty narrow range that those things move, and if you are a very tall or very short person then no belt is going to fit you properly.

Agreed. I personally don’t care, but if it makes life easier for other folks and doesn’t cost, like, thousands and thousands of dollars, then I don’t see the harm.

I find the Greek System one funny. Wouldn’t it just be easier to say “Alpha Theta House” or whatever the name of the particular Greek branch is? Otherwise, I don’t see what the objections to this are. It costs nothing, and requires minimal effort (with the exception of that Greek mouthful). This is as mundane as a…

The. Standards. Were. Designed. Around. Male. Averages.

As someone who works in the auto industry, this is terribly mis-informed. First of all, you absolutely can’t make the car perfectly safe for the entire range of human body types.

Just change a manhole to a butthole 

This is moderately silly, but honestly they said it cost the city something like $600 and really if someone wants to harp on this while ignoring the fucking concentration camps then they’re probably a dullard anyways.

Every single shoulder belt I wear inevitably winds up across my throat. If I’m ever in an accident I’m probably just going to be strangled in the impact. 

Plus, the use of the word “temptation” in the first place is implying that she somehow was alluring this poor upstanding boy into doing something oh-so-naughty, that she participated in her own rape.

Also is a pretty clear indicator that he shouldn’t become a doctor. 

A former medical student who raped an unconscious woman “availed himself of an opportunity” he could not resist due to the stress of “leading an exemplary life,” his lawyer has argued.

Same here. Plus, there’s my propensity for telling assholes to eat a bag of dicks. That’s probably frowned upon in judges.

argued that his client fell victim to temptation

It also has to do with the fact that the airbag may hit a shorter woman (or children) in the face or throat. This is a known problem for years, and car manufacturers have done little or nothing to correct it.
