Just one point of contention: a scientific or rational skeptic is someone who reserves judgment on the veracity of a claim until decisive empirical evidence is obtained.

Someone like Scott Pruitt is not a skeptic, but rather a denier. The evidence is clear and unambiguous, he simply chooses to ignore it.

did you even read the fucking article? No, there’s no way you did. READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE.

Uh huh...you’d report people who were trying to let you know of child porn on your platform. Then you’re an asshole, too.

There are plenty of decent paying jobs that require little to no education. The problem is that society has belittled them into thinking they’re not. For example, there’s always room for hard workers in the construction industry, but no one wants the work.

Wages have stagnated for almost 30 years while the cost of living continues to rise. When our industries left or became automated those jobs were replaced by minimum and low wage service jobs. In my state, the minimum wage is 7.25 an hour. After taxes that is less than 1000 dollars per month. The minimum expenses you…

You’re right Gizmodo totally hypnotized this CEO and made him do this just like how CNN puts Trump in a trance once a week to make him say stupid shit then record it.

Pretty sure Über’s been throwing itself under the bus since its “disruptive” unvetted-rapey-driver inception, couple two three years now. Way before even Candidate Trump. And it is now crystal clear that like all dysfunctional entities, it starts at the top- regardless of how cool and good an idea looks on paper.

Clean coal is an oxymoron just like jumbo shrimp and sugar free gum.

This is the kind of trolling I enjoy

The answer to your question requires thinking. I think that’s challenging for these people.

Do you think Scott Pruitt is a good pick for the EPA? Why, if so?

Today In The Comments I Learned: that wanting the EPA to do its job is a “leftist” political position.

Yes. Yes he really was the most awful character George Lucas has ever created. He was designed to be a minstrel clown whether Lucas had malice in his heart when he created him or not is still no excuse.

Yes, he WAS that bad of a character. He’s borderline racist in his implementation. He’s slapstick slapped into a story that really didn’t need slapstick. Where C3-PO provided a higher humor a la Tony Randall, Jar Jar is like a bad photocopy of a bad photocopy of Shemp, but without the necessary Moe and Larry to…

Playing Disney Infinity Star Wars content with my kids, there’s an Easter egg where he’s frozen in carbonite on Jabba’s wall.

Must.... resist.... urge.... to make.... Trump White House.... joke....

I agree, it’s a chance for meta-commentary that presented itself. He’s now a literal clown that performs slapstick routines for small children in-universe.

Fuck this concept entirely. The “I didn’t get my cookie” mentality of the self-proclaimrd political outsider class is selfish and narrow-minded.

If your kid needs special education or services typically delivered through the public school system, you should fear this woman and her ignorance.

Oxygen and water are Chinese hoaxes!
