Are these just libertarians in practice? Because it doesn't sound like they'd recognize the word if you said it to them. "What the hell kind of liberal did you just call me!?!" That type.

Just stop. They won't listen. Everyone here wants people to make decisions as if we lived in the world they would like to exist rather than the one that actually does. So they think things like taking into account the biases of the voting public are ridiculous, provided they do not agree with said biases. Many seem to…

The rest of what you’re saying is just stupid nonsense defending a geriatric cosmetic surgery victim for having crimes committed against family members but I am interested in hearing about these kebab remedies. Sounds tasty.

Found the guy who wants to kidnap people for their own good. Apparently it's okay if they're family, who knew?

As an old contractor once told me “We got three kinds of work: good, cheap and fast. Pick two.”

That seems almost worse than how the settlers took their land. That was awful but didn’t involve getting to know people and working your way into their families before murdering them. Better the enemy who shoots you in the front than the “friend” who shoots you in the back. I guess some lessons were learned and when…

Thanks for the explanation. I had wondered since the time period seemed too late for murdering the Osage people and squatting on their land until the government gave the killers the title to be a viable strategy.

If you’re the person shipping the stolen cats overseas you just have to bring the supply in house. Instead of scrap dealers and drug addicts you set up drops, runners and extraction teams. It’s probably cheaper piggybacking on existing metal theft but if it has to go out of country for processing and the materials are…

Yeah it seems to work best in rural states where the culprits are mostly drug addicts trying to score. It’s not going to stop a sophisticated criminal organization that isn’t scared to break federal laws. And I hear New Jersey has people experienced in that sort of thing.

Without a flared base it’s not a butt plug, it’s an ER visit no matter how brave you are. The bravery might alleviate the embarrassment though.

I don’t think they meant it should be free unless I misread their comment but the point you make about licensing arrangements for music and such does mean there’s no way to make it a standard fee so any scheme to compensate those entitled would have to be set up individually. By...the government, I guess. Yeah, it’s…

Earlier today I saw a clip of a Y fording a couple feet of water and all the replies from Tesla fans were about how this is just another feature of EVs, you can drive through water without a care in the world. Specific mentions of how the heavy battery pack at the bottom means you won’t be swept away. I wonder how…

It’s not that complicated. They’re a bunch of weirdos. Since they’re famous and rich they can probably get weirder with it than most people but we’ll never know because they lie about it. Why wouldn’t they? I’ve seen the same drama in gas station parking lots and the aisles of Walmart, people just pay more attention…

Why not, aside from the subjectivity of a "decent price"? At best it’s a cynical tax dodge and at worst it’s creating artificial scarcity. As others have said the other outcome is pirating, where no one profits.

I hope she knows the key to success is bribing streaming platforms for placement and radio station owners for rotation. 

Look, I know tensions are high right now. Everyone has politicians they hate and most of them aren’t going anywhere. So I’m calling on anyone whose feelings are high to do the most American thing possible and go buy a gun to murder the people in power with whom you disagree. It’s easy and if you say you were scared…

I can’t imagine the need to put out like 30 scripts a year where every three lines should get laughs, applause or whatever audience reaction is needed. I’m sure I’d come up with some awful shit wracking my brain for anything vaguely funny to kill runtime. It’s just too easy to write some silly back and forth between…

I thought of it more as the writers wanting to mock Roz for her promiscuity at the same time as making fun of the stuffy, prudish Crane boys and their beta ways. Social conditions were such that they could have their cake and eat it too. Those audience members who wanted to laugh at Roz could and those who thought it…

True. I’m the floor guy and since I go in last and all the bullshit flows downhill to where I’m trying to work I end up criticizing everybody. It is nice to be able to demand heat and air though. But mostly I blame the general contractor who let the other guys get away with whatever they did. People are going to take…

I guess I’m smaller than a lot of people or maybe the Transit is kind of cramped but I’ve had cargo vans from all of the Big Three and never had a problem just using my lap.
