Capitalizing on the fact that there are thousands of people trying to book you for speaking engagements is very different than engaging in outright graft/corruption.

I'm glad that my father hasn't stopped trying to be good to me in my adult life. I didn't take him up on his offer to underwrite a cheap home loan, but I'm still glad it was made, for one concrete example of economic behavior manipulation.

I'd argue that liberal use of economic incentives to drive behavior is certainly paternalistic, and is probably the correct way to be a 'good' father.

I can personally say that while i didn't vote, even if i [and every person in my state who shared my opinion] had, the same candidate would have won, except despite an even worse popular vote defeat.

It's troubling that the random perception of people who can't correctly interpret reality is more important to getting elected than having a position that makes sense and can work in the real world.

The question of why zombies are so pale hasn't really been that heavily explored, it's pretty easy to pseudoscience away: (They still tan, but their baseline is way lower, for example). The virus, though, yeah, silly. But I'd rather more making out than less, and in terms of manufactured relationship drama, "I want…

or like, what the vaccine took, i dunno, a day or so?

1) Most traditional vaccines are at least 90% and generally considered close to 100% effective. Flu is an outlier because the virus is highly variable and the strains that are being transmitted are not often the one you're actually immune to.

Having not really paid any attention to the particulars of this race, I was particularly amused to come across a politifact article that rated a Trump tweet as 'true' for stating that Ossoff did not live in his district, and immediately clarifying that he lives 2 miles outside the border.

I'm actually leaning towards it being an infection vector to create more zombies. All of the stuff on the news was leaning pretty heavily towards "the zombie governor would like all of the people of the city to line up and get innoculated please".

She dressed as a dominatrix in private with a lady friend, who was presumably not objectifying her, as a means to an end, in an intelligent bid to advance her work. That's still driven and intelligent, even if it involves putting herself in a situation that is likely to see her be objectified. [iff you consider that…

The more i think about this the more i think it's a poor name for a group of zombies, as great as it is for a random military contractor.

It's really just an after-the-fact report of how the hack occurred. I'm not [quite] a hacker but the 5 pages boil down to 'they sent a spearfishing attack' and 'this is what the trojan they sent does', which is basically like saying 'a bomb exploded at point x, doing y damage'…but TopSecret. Sources and methods are…

Maybe you're someone who can defend to me why the document that RealityWinner leaked was classified TopSecret.
There's no information that could possibly harm the state by being public besides the fact that we know the email address of one russian operative. I read the entire thing asking at every sentence why the…

where are all the people trying to build a viable third party?
It's seriously time. I don't even care WHAT their platform is at this point. All of the real people i've spoken to admit they are fed up with both parties.

The problem i have with right wing trolls is that it's incredibly hard to differentiate a dumb troll from a poorly-coded bot. Both just string together mad-libs that barely have anything to do with the content they're commenting on.

I dunno, for a group of apparently 12, i think they did a damn fine job.

It is literally my dream to actually be Big Head, but instead of falling backwards into millions of dollars and Wired covers, I fell backwards into a job working for peanuts in Palo Alto.

Remember to become a politician yourself so that people actually have someone worth voting for in 2018.

I have no sympathy for Lena. That is not a woman, it is a sentient neck muscle masquerading as a person. And yeah, she's hollywood beautiful, but where do the muscles come from? I'm spending the whole episode anticipating the next time she'll try to 'act' and wind up flexing her neck muscles instead. I took…
