Given some of the absolutely bullshit medical excuses they let people out of the draft for the last time it was actively used, I wouldn’t be so sure. Pretty sure ‘can see well enough to shoot accurately’ is going to be one of those criteria up at the top of the list.

That’s actually a really good point. And maybe we really need to address sexual violence (against both men and women) in the military before we have any other actual discussions on the subject of the draft.

Another TWC customer victim here. I think the answer is as much as they can get away with.

If the goose can get away, it’ll be fine. They have great healthcare.

But the net result was still a gain, and I doubt anyone did anything really terrible.

As for moral licensing, what bad behavior later?

I’m confused by this. Are you saying that it therefore only really raised 50 million (since the other 50 would’ve come in anyway)? Because if so, then it still sounds like an extraordinary success

I think the criticism is that it encouraged what’s known as moral self-licensing, which is where you use your good deed to rationalize bad behavior later. If you only raised awareness, but didn't give money, that seems like a net negative in the long run.

I’d be curious how many of the people who partook of the Ice Bucket Challenge in 2014 donated money to ALS charities in 2016.

The Ice Bucket Challenge raised $100+ million, but what’s interesting is that it cannibalized donations they were already expecting. For every $1 raised, they would have raised $.50 anyway.

This is like accepting a spot in the Super Bowl while you’re losing the NFC championship.

I always thought Ramsay nailed it when he referred to the Iron Islands as “shit-stained rocks”.

Time is a flat circle. It is known.

Guess I’m officially done with GoT. Glad I at least got to see a shitty version of the Kingsmoot happen, I guess.

Well if the shoe fits...wait...what?

You can’t vote against someone, only for. If Hillary can’t get enough votes it’s because she failed.

I’m really tired of having so much privacy. If only there were a stylish, always-on personal data collection appliance I could put in my house.

I just threw my chair and have nowhere to sit. Are you happy now? This is why we can’t have nice things.

Hey Anna, can I get out of the grays on The Slot already?
