Why don’t I tell you what I think--because it’s not “defund the police”, and you tell me whether you think I don’t support blm in practice.

Is it really so hard to imagine that saying “Fuck you, dummy” to people who are legit misinformed is counter-productive?

The irony, raging for your own self-satisfaction at the expense of public health. 

Exactly. Also worth saying as much as possible—because people really don’t seem to know this—whether a person gets infected, and how sick they get, is a function of the amount of virus they’re exposed to, aka the “viral load.” That’s why it’s so important to at least wear something like a surgical mask, which will bloc…

I’m as angry as anyone that so many of us are so stupid and selfish, that we have catestrophically bungled our response to the pandemic, and that mask-wearing is “political”. But it’s well understood in public health fields that shaming people is counter-productive, it doesn’t work, and it entrenches people in their…

I can’t even guess what the rationale could be. “Activision randomly deprived me of my $100+ investment, but ... ?” 

Lol thanks I’ll look into it. 

It does not seem to be available for digital versions on Amazon—I just purchased one and I don’t see it anywhere. Also I can’t play in HD apparently because my Macbook’s display doesn’t have some DRM bullshit? I also can’t tell if the documentary is included with the Playstation store digital versions, which is the…

In an alternate-world, we suffer an alien attack that kills millions of people, and over several decades following that existential crisis, America has solved some of its institutionalized racism problems, as evidenced by the very racially diverse upper-middle class and police force we see in the first episode. In…

Yeah but why burden myself with other people’s suffering when I can just say y’all deserved it?

So this is definitely your fault for thinking prison is designed to solve problems of any kind. It isn’t! 

Yeah also you should mix them. It’s good. Especially if you get sleepy when other people have magical party energy. 

Also Peter’s driver’s license says he’s an adult.

Gamestop has always seemed incompetent to me. For one thing—and it’s a big thing—their stores are TERRIBLE to be in. The constant gamestop TV promos on in the background is awful, the pushy employees are awful, and the stores are ugly as sin.

they can make a terrible spider-man movie as long as it features tom holland’s bare ass

There are other reasons to want process that go beyond the question of what he or anyone else deserved. 

Try to be a little less skeptical that process is important, not adverse to the interests of justice, and consider that a lack of process can go the other way, too. Remember what Kavanaugh’s defenders were saying—it was a mix of (1) the evidence isn’t strong; (2) even if he did do it, it probably isn’t disqualifying;…

In fairness, having listened to the whole thing, she did talk about how he was reportedly told early in his political career by a staffer that he should not be handsy and he was legitimately surprised and stopped, and that was a significant takeaway for her. So it did not sound to me like she was suggesting that it…

Well let’s hope that ricochet delivers some instant karma to those who see it as a challenge. 

I also listened to it, and I think you’re misreading what Mayer was saying. Drawing a distinction between predatory behavior and having a very poor sense of boundaries is not always just to blow off the latter (even if it often is, leading to the tired narrative). In this context, I think it’s important—and I think…
