It was enough to almost make me wish for a McDonalds sponsored alternative showing how you could lose weight by eating a diet of grilled chicken sandwiches and salads from fast food places

I also encountered this over the long weekend where the wife and I drove almost 1,000 miles round trip.

Technically the letter writer isn’t asking about specials at all. I don’t know why this writer chose to pretend that he or she did.

Angry tweets about Lonnie G. Bunch coming in 5....4.....3.....

Today I participated in Chicken Sandwich Mania 2019 by eating Jollibee for the first time. It has a tarter-sauce-like topping that is savory and weird and made me feel all funny inside.

Your mom’s a art.

Nonsense, tech child. Reality Check is right. Someday a rain will come and wipe this scum off the streets.

I’m used to getting stupid responses whenever I say anything about guns, and I normally just dismiss. However, this one is a thing of beauty:

Yes, rewriting the second amendment (or even getting the SCOTUS to return to a reasonable interpretation of it as it now exists) is indeed the hard part.

you might be able to institute a mental health screening to buy certain weapons, like is already done to join the military or the police forces.

Colin Ferguson, the LIRR shooter, would be my point of reference. He was initially evaluated as competent but then he feuded with his lawyers, rejected their defense, and ended up defending himself. Prosecutors argued that he was malingering so all the crazy shit he said in court didn’t matter (and there was plenty of…

Sure, but in those situations the threshold of competence tends to be set low to prevent debates on what is acceptable. We let people who seem quite crazy defend themselves at trial, for example.

This is why calling domestic terrorism a “mental health issue” is a terrible strategy - there is no workable plan for identifying violent people out of the population. As soon as it’s a Democratic administration running the program all of the gun nuts will squeal non-stop about persecution.

...he chose ethics and integrity. Alas, the principles have evaporated and he seems quite entitled. He’s morphed into a version of the monster he (presumably) loathed.

Also, it sounds like by giving the questionnaire at the porn expo they may have done a pretty bad job at concealing the purpose of the study. If the questionnaire is all about women Jimmy McPorndog could easily read a little and say “OK, this is a test of whether people who like porn are sexist, got it!”

Maybe this is fine? If you can document cases of real crimes that they are intentionally slow-walking and not pursuing, that’s one thing, but if they’ve stopped grabbing people off the street for minor infractions a la Eric Garner that’s actually a desirable outcome.

Yeah, one of the questions I have here is whether somebody else financed this lawsuit a la Peter Theil.

“She called my vanity license plate inscrutable!”

So if someone records it, and the joke bombs or it’s incomplete and then posts it on the internet, it essentially ruins the joke.

Yeah, if the show didn’t have an announcement at the beginning it’s on the venue.  Teenage kids in particular always assume it’s fine, and you have to explicitly tell them otherwise.  Complaining about it from the stage is never going to work to your advantage, just like nobody wants to hear a musician rant about bad…
