I’m from Minnesota, don’t make much money, but I always manage to pay everything I need to. I don’t save much (any, usually), and I’m doubtful I’ll ever own a house. Even with my extremely tight budget, I would be more than happy to pay higher taxes if they were contributed to trying to avert or reverse any effects of

You forgot Point Break. Keanu as an FBI agent, named Johnny Utah no less, goes undercover into an extreme sports group/band of thieves? That’s some quintessential 90's action right there. Johnny Utah even empties his guns clip in the air out of frustration while screaming and rolling around on the ground. Classic.

Yeah, so? Maybe he’ll be the ghandi. I was just commiserating with a fellow father about challenges we have to be aware of these days. And, um, I’m a male, so not to say i’m not responsible for the pregnancy, but after that it wasn’t (and shouldn’t) be my decision to keep it or not. After that all I can do is try to

Ugh, no. They are obviously Mobile Portable Heated Sleeping Bags.

Well you got your $900 so fuck everyone else, right? Who cares if our country went from a world leader to the fucking kings dunce nearly overnight. And in the end the joke is on you as well as the rest of non-filthy rich Americans. In a couple years our taxes will rise to a higher level than we’ve ever had. The tax

It’s not just you sir. I had my first child 7 months ago, a boy, and i have no fucking idea how I’m going to teach him to be a decent human being, and how to treat others, when our damn president can’t even be counted on to not mock disabled people. Or sexually assault women. Or tell the truth about anything, ever. Or

Jesus fucking Christ. The Trump administration is now sending “suggestions” to news outlets, or “TV Producers”, about ethics and vetting. And after reading it, it seems it was sent simply as a fuck you to any outlet that let anyone voice their opinion about Trump/Russia. I imagine it’s not a victory for Trump until he

Now that you point that out, so do I lol. Google claims it was Donny Miller.

Thank you for well thought out, ugh, essay? Anyway, I enjoyed it. I’ve always saw the genetic modification of humans an inevitable. Cure a disease? Shit we’ll just nuke that possibility during conception. Also, thanks for calling out the “men can be women” bullshit. It boggles the fucking mind how so many people take

The perfect storm. And I completely agree with your “We got severely lucky” thesis. With our rare leaders, it’s hard to get an objective picture of them as an American, we’re conditioned to revere them as gods from a young age, and that is a hard bias to get rid of. That, and I have a hard time buying into any cases

Not that I have seen, but he is a fairly accessible guy on social media and the like. Although I think he would have a separate thesis for both, the guy gets super deep in details and the Haitian Revolution was extremely unique, as far as revolutions go. I will probably start the whole series again once I catch up, I

“In the age of information, ignorance is a choice”

The way you described the destruction gave me flashbacks to Bad Company 2. Maybe they will try to go in that direction in the future, I haven’t really enjoyed any battlefields since then. That’s one of the few games that did the “you can destroy anything(almost)“ right.

Well, not a bunch....

You listen to the revolutions podcast too? Mike Duncan is the shit. I’m listening to the history of the only successful slave uprising currently (Haitian). He also did a podcast about the fall of Rome that was quite interesting.

Thank you for pointing this out. Acting like an asshole is not a good way to get people on board. Personally, I think a lot of non-voters, ugh, didn’t vote because of the labor culture we’ve cultivated in the US. Sure, employers are required to allow you the time, but for the average worker, you are still expected to

Not advocating violence here, but that seems to be painting the left with a broad brush. I consider myself liberal, but I grew up in rural Minnesota and have been using guns my entire life. I own guns, smoke a prodigious amount of weed, am pro-choice, anti-trump, and would happily vote for any lawmaker willing to

I would say that it’s been shown multiple times throughout history that a bigger or more advanced armory does not determine the outcome of a violent conflict. Sure there is a lot of gun nuts and folks that have dedicated their entire life to “owning the libs”, but, as Roy Conli said “The mind is the greatest weapon in

It’s tough to form a opinion on the dementia question for me. His vocal patterns, the way his head jumps from one barely formulated idea to another, the constant lies (which, to him, probably not lies. He lives in his own reality) all point toward some type of brain deterioration. But all those things could just as

Wow. Just, Wow. I’m impressed you managed to take such an offensive, obtuse, and straight ignorant opinion and frame it like you’re just trying to help. Here is my question: Do you feed the poor kids the same shit at the gay conversion camp you obviously work for?
