Thanks!

Cool story bro.

Oh go suck a donkey dick man. No one is here for your holier than thou bullshit.

I’m not trying to relitigate the primary because I’m sick of doing so and it makes me want to fucking die. So I’ll just reiterate the broader point that regardless of what happened in the primary, Hillary was the nominee, her opponent was a white supremacist, and people who didn’t vote or voted for someone other than…

“The people actually in control of things” - like Democrats who voted in the primary? Like, yes Hillary had a lot of institutional support that worked to her advantage (because she had spent decades raising money and campaigning for candidates across the country - funny how this whole politics thing works), but at the…

Yeah - Hillary was far from perfect but the idea that (a) in a first past the post system that naturally creates a two-party system you will ever get, or deserve in the first place, a candidate who agrees with you on every issue and has never made an error in judgment; and (b) you can improve the caliber of a party’s…

Yes, that is me.

lol snowflake

Don’t you think the Civil Rights movement inconvenienced people? I have a hard time imagining that there weren’t otherwise well meaning people who were real pissed off that they couldn’t get a seat at the Woolworth’s lunch counter and eat that sandwich they had been thinking about all day.

Whole lot of people commenting who seem to think protesters should never inconvenience anyone. The point of a protest is to draw attention to an injustice that is not receiving the attention it deserves, thereby (in theory) creating political pressure to address the issue. It’s entirely legitimate.

Or do a quick mass. I’ve been to Catholic weddings with a good priest who kept things moving and got everyone in and out in 35 minutes, but I’ve also been to Catholic weddings that included every single song and tradition you could possibly use in a wedding mass and lasted close to an hour and a half.

Agreed. If you don’t have booze at your wedding you’re going to have to accept that a lot of your guests aren’t going to have a good time and won’t stick around for too long (maybe you hate parties and that’s what you’re going for!).

As a United fan, I’d prefer if we didn’t sign Rose and instead gave Shaw an extended run in the team without shitting all over him the first time he makes a mistake, as Van Gaal and now Mourinho are wont to do. That said, he’s not wrong. None of the better players on Spurs make anywhere near their fair market value…

Don’t. I find it incredibly distracting to go to a museum and have a swarm of amateur photographers in front of every exhibit. It’s been like that at a few other visually interesting places I’ve been recently, like a botanical garden, as well.

I just think that when you’re criticizing someone whose background means that they’re often subjected to unfair critiques, you ought to be thoughtful about the language you’re using because so often people use coded language so that they can claim plausible deniability about a bigoted criticism. And, frankly, I think…

Again though, I really don’t think everyone who dislikes Cam Newton gets called a racist. Personally, I think the NFL could use more players like him who seem like they’re actually having fun, but I also think he writes checks his play can’t cash and throws tantrums when things don’t go his way.

I don’t think anyone said that. It’s the language that a lot of people who don’t like Cam Newton use that gets them branded as racist. All of that “his clothes are too flashy at press conferences” or “he doesn’t treat this game with the respect it deserves” when he celebrates a fucking touchdown shit.

Well, first off, thank you for the condescension. Second, I was quibbling with the headline - “New York is going to extraordinary lengths” implies the government is changing policy in some way, but the article leads off with, and primarily focuses on, the attorney general and Brooklyn DA issuing statements that…

Good on them for standing up to ICE, but I don’t see how a press release counts as “extraordinary lengths”?

My rule of thumb: it’s only acceptable on flights that are longer than 3-ish hours, and you should really try to only do it when you’re resting. You don’t need to be reclined and inconveniencing the person behind you when you’re reading a book or working on your laptop (I’m looking at you, guy who sat in front of me…
