Oooh, just needs a NIN soundtrack, or TOOL, and you have the quintessential music video.

I’m guilty of calling women I know or am dating “girls”. Not usually ever to them, but usually in reference to them when speaking to someone else (anyone else, regardless of gender). I’ve been weeding it out of my discourse, with the occasional slip (my “girlfriend”, this “girl” I’m seeing...), by using more…

I think this myself, but then, looking around me at the people in my area, at the people who stormed Congress on Jan 6, most of them are mid-30s to mid-50s, elder Millennials and Gen-Xers. While there may not be the numbers that the Boomers boast, there’s still a significant component of working/middle-class white…

For the most part, I think that (and don’t quote me on this because I’m not doing the research and getting citations) most actual cases of voter fraud have been people using deceased or incapacitated elderly voter’s identification. Which suggests to me that your solution here is the most reasonable response to…

Yeah getting all irritable and ass-y when your sugar is spiking or low is one thing but that doesn’t make it impossible to tell wrong from right.

“Muh ‘pologies yer onner, my diabeetus wah twinging an’ ah jus’ kilt that sumbitch in a fit ah the diabeetus rage.”

“Oh! Diabeetus rage! Well then case dismissed!”

Not to excuse him, but dude only knows two ways of life: as a commissioned officer being afforded privilege because of who his Dad is, or as a trust fund kid^100 being afforded privilege because of who his Dad is. He’s not naming names because he’s not an idiot and knows that if he did burn down (his brother) publicly…

My bet’s on William. You just know the “type” he is, rich, privileged, white, private school, never accomplished anything on his own of significance, stands to inherit a fortune in real estate and cultural treasures worth more than the combined GDP of half the nations of Earth. If he were a character in an 80s movie…

And she did depend on her fiancé to fill her in, that’s pretty evident. The problem is that Harry fucking hates the family that (indirectly?) pushed his mother to emotional breakdown, fed and supported gossip journalists’ efforts to drag her through as much shit as they could imagine, and who ultimately contributed to…

That “something else” can be summed up as “how even well meaning white people in the 20's and 30's thought”. They’re a product of their time, aren’t particularly notable contributions to Seuss’ legacy, and would cost more than they’re worth to “update”, so they get discontinued. Meanwhile, a handful of collectors get…

Because the expense of that effort, to hire some Seuss-inspired illustrator to create new, inoffensive, replacements is most likely way more expensive than simply discontinuing a handful of books that almost nobody bought or even heard of. Also, as a private company, it’s their prerogative to do as they wish with…

I agree with the underlying intent of your criticism here, but likening Amazon to forced slave labor is a disservice to the horrific reality of multi-generational slavery. Amazon may be scoundrels in respect to their treatment of their low/no-skill workforce, but they are not even a little akin to the practices of the…

First you have to convince the majority of American voters from both/all sides that “hero” capitalism is a bunch of bullshit and undo a couple hundred years of societal conditioning to that effect. So, maybe, in another 200 years, provided a persistent and multi-generational effort that’s well-financed somehow for the…

For exactly the reasons you think.

The blaring club techno really sells it :D

Knowing your post history, I really doubt that I have to tell you that that’s all intentional. Fucking America.

There is no good argument. Just understanding. During, but especially after, Reagan the GOP leaned hard into the right and began embracing anti-democratic, authoritarian, and racist policies. Subsequently a lot of pro-democracy conservatives found themselves occupying the ideological DMZ between the left-leaning…

See, but that statement right there, and the underlying ideal it represents, is where the disconnect happens. And has always happened, to this day, by generations of smart, well-meaning, people.

The US Federal system was never intended to enforce majority rule. In 1776, the majority of eligible voters (e.g. land-owning…

If I had to hazard a guess, it’s probably going to be a three hour “diversity training” course and maybe, maybe suspension with pay.

Not to defend the guildy tank’s asinine behavior, but how differently do you think they would have reacted if you came back from AFK and said “Sorry about that, my wife cut herself and I had to deal with real life.”

From my experience, the whole thing would have never been a thing had you been more up front about why…

It was an actual job. It was brutal. It was ‘manager this, manager that,’ fuckin’ ‘employee this, cop problem that.’ I can think of five scenarios I actually got to do whatever I felt like, and that was going on the alien hunt and the couple of times I got to go to the police station.
