If these neighbors were smart, they’d take these pics and put them on io9.

Man...just get a nice conservative balanced fund from Vanguard that chugs along at 4-6% per year and you are way ahead, and you don’t have to do anything.

Blind hatred for people who are unlike you is not something I understand.

If we’ve had a colossal defeat, it seems reasonable to be open to discussing our methods and what we can do better.
I wished the guy the sincere very best of luck with his march. But it wasn’t for me.
It honestly seems like to even waver slightly from the orthodoxy even in your own tribe is to be called a dick and an…

Progressives need to become more vocal and no longer turn the other cheek. The world needs to know that this man does not represent our interests.

Isn’t the derision just that the protest is a bit hypocritical? We were all (myself included) up in arms over the possibility that Trump could lose the election and refuse to accept the results. But isn’t that what these protesters are doing? What are we protesting? Democracy? I (like most on this website) hate…

I think it’s important to keep our cool and not let this rhetoric instill fear in us and our children. Citizenship can be revoked, but only if it was obtained fraudulently or in extreme circumstances such as being accused of treason. I don’t think that’s something Trump will be able to touch. Especially with his…

Bubble Bobble was godlike. It’s probably the main reason I was addicted to Bust a Move later on.

Donkey Kong above Bubble Bobble? They are both single screen arcade games, but Donkey Kong consisted of 4 stages without much variation. Bubble Bobble has like 100 stages, with various enemy types and a boss battle.

I’ll second this comment. The intellectual honesty of your news room becomes a half measure when you don’t specifically look for a variety of world views. Gawker is a good example: they’ve employed the talents of many different people from many different backgrounds and areas of the country, yet they’ve almost…

The only people polls reflect are the people willing to take a cell phone call from a polling agency, and those people are almost as strange a bunch of weirdos as internet commenters.

You have to take this energy and be more compassionate. We are the liberals. Our first mission is to get back to what made us this way. Stop belittling southerners and conservatives just because they grew up in a different situation with different experiences. They have different values than us, and we have to stop…

FDR was a benevolent dictator. We look at him favorably because it all worked out, but he pulled a lot of stunts that violated check and balances. Term limits seem silly when you look at FDR - but what if Trump’s people want him in place for 16 years?

Actually, it’s not. The government was designed to have politicians be “part timers” who ran the government on top of their own careers, and those people were to trade out here and there - it prevents career politicians and lobbying.

To me term limits seem like a baindaid solution to pander to people against establishment politics. It’s so expensive to run for any higher office newcomers can’t even make their voices heard. Major party support is required. Major parties will hedge their bets and mitigate risk of loosing by going with established…

It’s extremely hard to remove them if the politician in question exploits their licence for gerrymandering.

There are positives to this.

The Gawker award was excessive and likely would not have stood up on appeal had they not settled, but having a snippet of your sex tape published on the internet seems like a pretty harrowing experience to me. There is a lot that is enraging about how Gawker was destroyed by a vengeful billionaire, but it doesn’t…

to prevent anyone outside the tea from reading them.

I worked in a high rise office building next to a high rise apartment building.
Very few people that high up have curtains. Because of that, I have stories for daaaaaaaays.
