Agreed with the “why, Chloe, why?!”

That first round, where he gets away with the “just kidding, not serious” defense... yeah. Didn’t work for this guy...

Sort of like how renewal of driver’s licenses by mail / online past a person’s 100th birthday should probably be seen?

Same. After clicking, the story made me sad for this new case, rather than sad that my memory continues to show signs of failing.

Then don’t do the same back. Here’s the exchange:

One additional quibble - language is, by function of what it is, dependent on both speaker and listener to agree on meaning. You don’t get to decide what I understand you to mean, but you can clarify. Your initial reply to my first reply wasn’t adequate to address my concern, but a few of the other…

Bill Clinton was known for remembering details of people he met briefly during campaign stops for years afterwards. I’d agree that Obama would at least say he remembered, but would give a chance that he might also actually remember.

Did what first, the type of game, or hitting 1.9 million concurrent players?

Politics as sportsball fandom, because it’s easier to understand that way.

I’ll chalk it up to odd writing style, then. It looked like, as seems consistent from your other comments, that you’d like to attribute those issues specifically to the left-wing loonies.

Smart isn’t (entirely) genetic. Survival isn’t (entirely) up to the individual and their actions. Conclusions are therefore still indeterminate... we don’t know if we’ll end up (due to social influences, or a population bottleneck via catastrophes) with Morlocks, Idiocracy, Star Trek, a continued great big melting…

This. So much this.

Don’t move your tongue / pretend the front of your tongue no longer exists / is half the length it used to be. Now try.

Yeah, why is this the second time in a high profile case this year that I’ve heard this happen... are jury instructions not damned clear anymore?

Maybe he’d show up to hand out relief supplies / throw out boxes of matches into a crowd?

Not hydraulic, just the drainage from the A/C didn’t actually seem to drain.

Don’t forget the cognitive dissonances (why so many crosses, how do you idolatry?... if nobody can know what God’s plan is, why do the sects all think that they know better than the others?), the yielding to authority figures and double standards for them, the presumption of the moral high ground (you are more beloved…

Who says that they’re all left wing loonies?
