That’s kinda mutual though tbh. We get stuck with ever-”upgrading” systems that don’t work, server maintenance whenever we try to do anything, and disbelief and condescension whenever we bring up something you broke. Thanks bros.

Ah, so these are 22 year old clowns getting thrown in there to break the teachers’ union. Yeah, suddenly I’m less sympathetic.

Agreed. Unless you’re a second language speaker or developmentally disabled, you should have your shit more in gear than that by 16. Who wouldn’t be frustrated by this level of effort?

I imagine they have to be.

Tank Girl was great, fuck you

that feel when your country gets better policy discussion at beauty pageants than actual presidential debates

Probably not a great idea in a pressurized cabin, but in general the idea may have merit.

Airline worker here. This is typically the captain’s call. If someone’s being a sufficient nuisance, a diversion isn’t a strange decision, especially given the geographic factors you mention.

I kind of liked Mindy Kaling’s variant.

I’d be happy keeping Biden in place.

Franken’s the one that jumps out at me. She wants to go after Trump, who better than a former professional satirist?

No, I think she may be here for a while, a la Madonna or Minogue.

Maybe that’s part of the thrill somehow.

Well within Standard Creepiness Rule bounds. (35/2)+7 = 24.5, and she’s 26.

Gun control doesn’t have to be the whole solution to be a good idea. If we were reading a story about how he knifed five people, that would be an improvement, no? Why people insist on preventing us from at least tourniqueting the wound I’ll never understand. But I do agree that there’s going to be harder, deeper…

Bombs aren’t nearly as user-friendly. For violent lunatics, the firearm, particularly anything with rapid-fire capability, really can’t be beat.

They’ve done it once before. Canada’s never experienced anything like our Civil War. I hope you never do. And I hope we can find another way this time; every year that goes by it seems less likely. It just feels like we’re circling the goddamn drain.

What a bunch of crap. “Hate” isn’t this amorphous, equivalent thing. I may hate the rednecks and their guns, but I’m not going to their redneck bars trying to kill them. There’s blame to be shared, but it’s not shared without number, without proportion. The conservatives in both the West and the Middle East, well,…

Even within his genre, though, Cobain wasn’t particularly fantastic as a vocalist. If he’d said Staley I’d have given him some credit for that.

I mean, she’s from Louisiana. I kinda figured that must happen a lot in the bayou swamps and stuff.
