lol, for real. Look, these are emails “recovered” from some laptop that appears to have <magically> been left at some right-wing nutjob’s computer repair shop. A laptop Hunter has no recollection of leaving for repairs, a fact “explained” by those invested in its “authenticity” as “common for drug addicts to forget…

Most of those people are also opportunist trash who think nothing of grifting their own way to “success”. Like to the tune of a full third of the voting population of this country.

Yeah, our governments are mad fucked up. But the blame lies firmly on the American culture of grift and greed. A problem that was always…

You may be right, that he opposed the bill because he intends of retiring and making $$ as a lobbyist, but that itself is reason enough to oust this fucking fuck. IMO there needs to be a mandatory NDA on Representatives and Senators imposing a 4 year “cooling period” after they leave office, banning them from…

I’m sorry to break it to you, but no. Have you seen Fallout 76? Do you like the obnoxious mechanics of mobile/phone “games”? Bethesda doesn’t make “CRPGs” anymore, they make a game that could just as easily be skinned 2D featuring such “novel” concepts as daily “missions” and seventeen different “currencies” you must…

In space, no-one can hear about the NPCs that once took an arrow to the knee.

I gotta say, I’m completely over seeing MTG’s beady little eyes and otherwise gross face everywhere. These people, like Trump, need less media exposure, positive or negative, not more. They’re outrage vampires and they know how to generate it. Media coverage of these dregs needs to be more “if a tree falls in the…

It’s become really bad. And destructive. Think about it, any shmuck with a BA in Anglish or Journalismism can get a job at a highly trafficked blog/news site and proceed to spew more or less drivel to an audience of thousands/millions who lap it up like pigs at a trough. Got D. Trump elected, got many lives ruined,…

Welp, now Gizmodo group gets to go the way of Gawker thanks to libelous slander. GG dummies.

I’m not surprised at all by the capacity of those with evil in their hearts to spare no expense acting on that evil.

I didn’t realize that the lawyer came on last minute. Nothing mentioned in the CBS link. Still, $35k is clearly very low for a settlement considering the offense.

Realtalk. And agreed. The US has a real problem (which one? ;)) with codifying consequence in legislature. It’s all great stuff to write a law saying violation of X isn’t “cool”, but if there aren’t clearly defined consequences for transgression it’s all pointless. Case in point, because there’s really no defined…

Only $35000 for violating the rights of two minors and an illegal (unconstitutional) search? That family must have hired a bargain basement lawyer. Hell, they had a case where it could be argued that the police sexually assaulted minors. How aren’t there two extra zeros on that settlement?

Protip: If your rights have…

I’m sure this comment will just get swallowed by the grey but I think that the essential concepts underlying these shared “for profit” communes could be developed into products that would have a reasonable likelihood of success while helping to solve the very real problem of affordable and well-maintained housing for…

The Republicans have enjoyed that distinction since Reagan. This shit gets so tightly wrapped up into identity by so many people, often people you know damn well are capable of seeing the lie. My Dad being one. Always puffing about how Democrats raise taxes! How dare they! And in the next breath condemning the rich…

Trees tend to fare pretty well against cars, especially younger ones (more supple).

I get the impression that she’d bristle like a thing that bristles a lot at the Kindergarten-teacher-handling-a-rowdy-student treatment. Let one of the other people get the embarrassing video clips of her raging at a calm and peaceful person who is only “concerned” for her well-being.

So, like, how it already is?

You smile at her like you would a bear or something while you pick up your phone, call emergency services, and report that a woman is having an apparent psychological episode and needs some assistance. Then you stay with her and, calmly, let her know that help is on the way and that you’re hopeful that she will get…
