I enjoyed reading this, but disagree with your thesis.

I guess in lieu of making something people actually like, you can intentionally under-perform and call it really edgy satire. I know when I’m insecure about the results of my efforts, I sometimes self-sabotage them - for example, if I’m making a piece of functional furniture and I want it to turn out way better than I…

LADY MORMONT FOR PREZ 2016

Six figure? Hahahahahaha

While Chile aren't necessarily the good guys, watching this match and seeing the utter destruction of El Tri was amazingly gratifying.

Lest anyone too young to know might think the draft dodger angle is the biggest insult in this tweet, refusing to call him Ali, and instead insisting on calling him Clay was the racist dog whistle of choice back then. Racist whites refused to do so for years after.

Dear Representative Daniel,

I heard a variant that I like a little more:
“When the facts are against you, pound on the law.
When the law’s against you, pound on the facts.
When the facts and the law are against you, pound on the table.”

I’m fine with Bernie staying in the race to accumulate votes and show Democrats that there is broad, national support for a progressive agenda. I am not alright with him staying in the race in a desperate bid to win.

Maybe I’m reading that joke different than everyone else, but I thought the punchline of that joke is specifically because it is such a sharp, unambiguous, clear signal of his friends’ willful stupidity and obliviousness (because they are using the word faggot) immediately after his half-assed defense of his friends.…

This whole discussion is retarded.

This kind of joke will not exist anymore

Fuck off.

False, it’s actually hilarious

Um... they shot down a drone (or, more likely, found one that crashed) over THEIR airspace.

This is a very flawed argument, the basis of which is “it’s worth rolling the dice on Iran’s reaction in order to make a point.” By your same logic, when two of our boats entered Iranian waters then Iran should have sank them both. “Because one of these days it will be a hostile action. And [Iran] won’t be ready for…

They do seem to oddly take offense when we park a massive war machine right off their shores while our political leadership encourages a near continuous level of hate and aggression against them among our own populous. I just cannot work it out at all.

Wait, the fact they were lepers and discriminated against elsewhere was an urban legend? I thought that was a super obvious part of the story.
