Absolute truth.

I totally agree! I was spitballing with someone about homes when the Powerball jackpot was so huge, and we both couldn’t understand what in the goddamn hell we’d do with tens of thousands of square feet. I mean, even if I had hundreds of millions like this sadistic old crone, I wouldn’t want to invest hundreds of…

These V90s are truly gorgeous, though I do prefer the elegance of the Inspiration version.

My thoughts exactly. This stupid plan of Tyrion’s is vastly inferior to the more pragmatic approach of: fly 3 dragons north, use The Wall as a base for reconnaissance in fair weather, find the Night King, and roast him when he’s found. He can’t throw three ice javelins at once.

How is this clown not excoriated more for holding a goddamn campaign rally less than a year after he won the election?

If all these stupid monuments to treasonous scum can’t be (re)moved, could municipalities just build a big box around them? A solid box of steel, or better yet make the box a giant prison cell and call it a modern art installation depicting where these traitors should’ve lived out their days after they surrendered. …

Guys I’m starting to think Trump doesn’t possess the business acumen he claims to have.

Read that moron’s Twitter replies and you’ll see his idiot troll army blathering like the dumbshits they are with cries for lawsuits and trying to equivocate with the cake-bakers who wouldn’t bake for gay weddings.

“Congratulations,” he continued. “The healthy people are paying for the sick people.”

“Tricia McCorkle, a spokeswoman for TD Garden, pointed out that the Garden and its related organizations already raise more than $2 million a year for community programs through other charitable efforts...”

Yes, this moron is being purposely disingenuous. Their troll game is weak, and yet people keep feeding it. Time to cut bait and move on, methinks.

Streaming, while a newer profession, has become a sustainable career for lots of people. There’s no signs that it’s going to go away in the immediate future. What exactly makes it less stable than any other kind of work?

They willingly put themselves in a situation where their only source of income is begging strangers online for money so that they can keep playing videogames, that’s not a sustainable way of life by any means and the longer they keep deluding themselves into thinking that it is, the worse off they’ll be within the…

The end result was the basic, critical needs for poor people to simply live were ignored while the superfluous, non-essential wants of more wealthy people were heeded.

Make no mistake: whichever specific person selected the flammable foam core that allowed the fire to propogate should be charged with 79 counts of manslaughter. I believe their actions were criminal.

Of course it would have mattered. This fire started internally, by all indications inside one of the residential units. A proper fire sprinkler system would have contained the fire to the point of origin, thus not allowing it to spread via the exterior cladding.

To echo what LambicPentamter has tried, unsuccessfully, to explain since we last spoke: by virtue of pushing for aesthetic changes which overrode practical life safety concerns, the influence of affluent neighbors played a factor into this tragedy. It’s that simple. There is no counterpoint to this fact, and thus…

My suggestion is that no neighborhood pressure played a role deciding that yes, they should put cheap fire hazards up rather than expensive safe ones.

LOL that you bring up deflection, because it’s all you do. I’m not going to debate philosophical musings on manslaughter vs. homicide.

I’m not offended by it; I’m gobsmacked by the irrelevancy of it. Why, exactly, should it matter what technical details of fire resistance the neighbors did or did not know? I fully expect them to know jack shit about it, not that I can readily poll Grenfell neighbors on such a thing.
