He literally seems to think he’s royalty. It explains all the gold and ostentatiousness.

Ugh shut up.

It’s not a hyperbolic point of view, numbskull. It’s hyperbolic rhetoric.

You’re so busy trying to make your point that you’ve missed mine several times now. Do you know what hyperbole is? It’s exaggerated rhetoric used to make a point.

Apple would never be publicly announcing products they’re literally incapable of manufacturing.

16,000 personal notes? Do you retain all your text messages as Evernotes or something?

I suspect NC is full of people who say things like “I’m not racist but...”.

The United States isn’t the only nation imposing sanctions on Russia. Trump cannot unilaterally remove sanctions from Russia that didn’t directly result from an Executive Order.

Fair point, I don’t necessarily believe the RNC about anything else so I don’t mean to be overly deferential to their public statements.

I think reasonable people can disagree on that particular point.

If you like Starboy at all, “I feel it coming” at the end of the album also features Daft Punk and is even better than Starboy, as a song.

I think he badly miscalculated, will never admit to his mistake, but will regret it the rest of his life.

I heard on NPR this morning that although RNC officials were targeted with the same phishing campaign that targeted Podesta, et al on the democratic side, but that supposedly the Russians did not gain access to their systems.

Frank Ocean is thoroughly overrated. Everything he releases is 50% genius and 50% garbage that should have been left on the studio floor.

Starboy is as good as his last two studio releases, but not significantly better, and I’m not aware of Daft Punk being involved in either of those albums.

If we’re stating the obvious, then I should point out that both Afghanistan and Iraq also have “actual innocent people that need our help”.

Even if Trump reverses the sanctions (which he can’t unilaterally do), Obama has deprived the Kremlin of what, 3 years now? worth of oil and gas profits. They may yet recover from the sanctions, but there’s no turning back the clock or making up for lost time when it comes to that economic activity.

I don’t love what happening in Syria, but I think Obama played that pretty well. Considering the hand he was dealt. We made some mistakes there, like we always do, but it was certainly not bad as our last few foreign… Field Trips.

My [EXTREMELY HYPERBOLIC] point is that men have proven incapable of controlling themselves or of instituting safeguards and controls that protect children. By way of patriarchy, men are also the arbiters of what’s “allowed” in society. If they can’t be trusted to actually stamp out child sexual abuse within their…

Money spent on workers is also tax deductible, so Penguins’ point largely withstands your criticism.
