I’m not sure how fucked Walmart will get here; Walmart seems like they’re 100% in the wrong here (ditto the cops, hope they’re getting sued too), but they’re a multibillion dollar corporation with an army of greasy, soulless lawyers at their disposal. The plaintiffs, otoh, are a pastor and a former cop, so I’m…

I’m not gonna take the quiz right now because I’m worried it’ll feel like homework and I have a hard time assigning numbers to things that are inherently subjective, etc. but it may be useful to some.

wasn’t that from War Games? The one starring a young Matthew Broderick?

excellent points.

If clowning on him led to him quitting his job, or even moderating his worse impulses, then I guess I’d be all for it.…

I find all this focusing on appearances and trivial shit really tiresome and counterproductive - and I mean across the board. I don’t really care how bad Trump looks; if he had the brains and politics of, say, Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, I’d support him. There are plenty of unattractive people who are total…

yeah, “Florida Man” is dangerous enough when he’s not an elected official :(
