Man, just stop. You took a public safety issue and tried to make it about your own minor inconvenience. You’re on the wrong side of this, you can tell because you’re on the same side as people who unironically enjoy the Bachelor.

You are literally the problem here. A man told viewers that the station broke into a broadcast in an effort to provide crucial public safety information, and your actual fucking response was that, because it's inconvenient to you and you have other sources for this information, it therefore must not be important to…

The driver of a limo is paid more and is an actual employee.

Afghanistan is literally called "The Graveyard of Empires".  The idea that we could "win" a war in that country was and is effing bananas.

The finale of that show is deeply shitty. It’s a failure of writing on virtually every level. Watching the Barney/Robin stuff drove me up the wall. There’s no crime in giving people what they want and sending them off into the sunset happily, but even if you want to make the case that an ending that represents the…

They believe life is a zero-sum game, where anyone else winning means they lose. This also excuses their racism. They weren’t being racist, they were just protecting their interests.

I think it's incredibly difficult to call Lee a great general when his opposition was so consistently incompetent.  Also, much of his acumen has been exaggerated by "Lost Cause" historians for the purpose of defaming Grant.

There’s a “conservative humor as the actual vile humors of the body” joke here somewhere, but I’m not smart enough to put it all together.

There’s more leeway here as well. You can dump the BIOS and ROMs of devices/software you own for emulation purposes, but you can't distribute them.

How do you steal a game you can’t buy, and can’t play without an emulator? More to the point, if Capcom wants to make money off it’s back catalog, that’s fine. They can spend the time and effort to develop their own emulator and do the legwork to make ROMs of their games harder to find. Failing to pay others for the…

They already wrote like 3 articles about how Tom Izzo is a fucking asshole and a lunatic in the immediate aftermath of the game, so it might be slightly redundant but sure?

I would think that poverty as a common link between fare evasion and crime would be kind of a confounding variable.

The whole purpose of democracy is that our officials derive their power from the consent of the governed, not a title or position.  If you respect the office instead of the person who holds it, what's the difference between that office and a throne?

How is there a benefit to the consumer when Steam has a de facto exclusive on a title? You get the ancillary feature-set that comes with Steam, but there’s nothing stopping a competitor from implementing those features.

No intervention is 100% effective, but the fact that every disaffected youth or psychotic adult can’t just snap up some C4 and go about their business is a solid argument that our laws and regulations regarding the sales of explosives are working for us, rather than against us.

So it’s legal to force unvaccinated children to wear masks, but not legal to force them to be vaccinated? What fucking sense does that make? Vaccines, as medical interventions go, are incredibly cheap and are often provided for free from various clinics and programs. Anyone who would have the money to go to court to no…

Yeah, and if AIDS was airborne it would be worth quarantining its sufferers, but because it’s not the hysteria surrounding it was wrongheaded and unethical.

I mean, we do ban bombs, and that’s worked pretty well.

Then provide universal healthcare and make it illegal to fuck around with worker hours the way companies do. The problem isn’t a higher minimum wage, it’s an under-regulated private sector

Seriously, people act like cancer is going to be eradicated like polio, but that’s not how cancer works! Everything gives you cancer, the things you absolutely must have to live give you cancer. Living gives you cancer. It’s not called the Emperor of All Maladies for nothing.
