OK, let’s go ahead and respond to this dipshit assertion, because people always make it on these posts. Generally, I ignore it because it’s so obviously fucking stupid, but we’re going to do this here and now. This is such a basically obvious point that I’d think anyone capable of tying their own shoes would get it,…

maybe it’s to do with how people find their “self worth”...a lot of that is tied into one’s profession

My gut reaction was “That’s an absurd theory. No one would inconvenience everyone else just to stick it to some black women”....then I remembered I live in America.

No, it’s their fault for having moderately thick books in their bags...

Yeah, I was expecting a bunch of morning drunk, lululemon wearing sorority girls causing a kerfuffle. Not a bunch of alums at a national conference carrying GASP!!! BOOKS!!!! Meanwhile, didn’t the TSA just fail like 97% surprise tests of screening actual guns, knives and incendiary devices?

“They want us fighting over who has the bigger pile of crumbs so we don’t realize they made off with almost the whole damn cake.”

I want this embroidered on a pillowcase.

We owe Papa Enzo everything.

Irrational TSA guidelines caused this delay.

Actually it was very easy. People complied with the gun buy back scheme. There was a vocal minority that shouted for a second and yes, Queensland Premier Rob Borbidge did have to fall on his sword but he did so willingly. For once politicians in this country did something for the greater good. It doesn’t happen that…

If Trump wins the general, we fucking deserve him. Honestly, at times we need a good dose of why not to give the GOP significant power. Unfortunately everyone forgets really quick. And that’s from a guy in a state with veto proof red majorities and governor. All those people that thought these “cut taxes” Republicans…

Big Business, Organized Labor, and the Tea Party are all sitting around a table. A plate of delicious warm cookies arrives. Big Business takes 11 of the cookies then turns to Tea Party and points to the remaining cookie and says "psst! Organized Labor is trying to take your cookie!"

You know what, I’m going to copy&paste a really good post I saw on Tumblr. Not my words, but I wish they were because they are so right.

CYBERPUNK MEGACORP DYSTOPIA! CYBERPUNK MEGACORP DYSTOPIA!

There was a recent bill putting more protections and regulations on background checks, and 90% of the nation was for the bill, but it tanked. I really think the answer is the way our politics is funded in this country (lifelong American here) - we have so few regulations on how much money can be spent. Since 2010…

It’s easy. There’s a history of people having guns in the US in order to feel like they’re making themselves safe - like they have control over their lives. Now, the price we pay for this feeling of security is that we make ourselves, as a result, demonstrably less safe. It’s simple. It makes no sense whatsovever, but…

Maybe these corporations could use all the money they spending lobbying* politicians and use it to pay their employees like human beings. Or we could keep sliding into a cyberpunk megacorp dystopia. No matter how cool living in a William Gibson novel sounds, we should probably choose human decency.

“...There might have been racism way back then with the slavery and everything else but that’s all in the history.”

These “officers of the law” have made up everything in this case, I am convinced of it.
