I love that their excuse was “It was during a period in his life that we would have the ability and responsibility to investigate.”

I call her Shovelface.

I don’t necessarily agree that any professor should have been using a euphemism, I think in a class like this it would be important to use words for whatever slurs were employed, but I agree with your idea about additional context. It does seem like he pushed it too far out of probably being an entitled, racist…

It’s not right for people to use this word against black people and the entitlement that some white people feel in using it is disgusting. My gut says that this professor is probably a fuck-you-I-do-what-I-want, you-have-no-right-to-get-mad-at-me type. In another scenario, is it possible for someone to do an exercise…

I like to say I’m smart, funny, and I smell good, but just because I say it doesn’t make it so.

Oh my God, between the Russians and the FBI, this guy is getting worked like the town pump.

And these idiots think they’re patriots for refusing to learn a second language.

Agree. I shouldn’t say they’re causing us to turn on each other, we’ve been doing that since before we were formally a nation. But they can exploit our storied history of doing it. We don’t have the lead in cyber that we once held and the insistence on ignoring election interference means we aren’t combating it.

nice

It’s not any good thing. It means they’re better able to attack the foundations of our democratic process and cause us to turn on each other. The US is a uniquely capable military foe; you don’t beat us by engaging with us in any conventional conflict (whether we call it war or otherwise); you beat us by exploiting…

The show I want to see is Dennis teaching AP Bio, not some character played by Glenn Howerton teaching AP Bio. If Dennis is leaving the gang, there better be a damn good reason.

I don’t think that our current Congress would, but that’s a failure to act rather than a complete erosion of the mechanism that allows them to act. Congress was intentionally made unwieldy and if it abdicates its powers, it’s too unwieldy to get them back. The executive is agile as hell, as we’ve seen. It should not…

We wouldn’t, but NK does not possess the capability to strike the mainland US with a nuke or otherwise. NK’s military improvements have been primarily in cyber and electronic warfare, not in conventional/nuclear warfare. All this “oh shit NK is going to nuke us” is not a realistic fear and is being used as the…

Yeah, well, a bunch of jagoffs don’t understand that homeless children is an obvious big deal too so not 100% your fault :p

Campaign donors!

We’ll never declare war on NK because then Trump would be subject to the War Powers Act and have his almost-limitless authority restricted. The current “War” on “Terror” has been able to persist through Congress voting on additional extensions to the original Authorization for the Use of Military Force, which allows…

Yeah the comment was edited to change the flow, after I made my comment.

The dismantling ensures more homeless children. Unfortunately the comment I responded to was edited to change the flow shortly after I made mine.

It sounds like it boils down to “I know this is the right thing to do, but fuck you for telling me to do it.”

Darling, we are being bleakly ironic.
