I don’t really care why Scarver did it. Jeffrey should have been marched out of the court house, walked up to a wall, and summarily executed right there, on the spot. Instead society wasted a bunch money feeding, clothing, and housing a monster for some imagined, idiotic reason.

Vote like your lives depend on it, because for a significant percentage of Americans, it probably does. Because everything and everyone is an acceptable sacrifice to the Republican party in their never-ending quest to accumulate more wealth and power for the wealthy and powerful. Everything and everyone. Even if it…

Maybe if you left it out in the elements for a year or three...after beating it to hell and back again. Otherwise...basically never. Crowbars are, by design, damn-near indestructible.

Ahh yes. The perpetual ‘management’ classic — The beatings will continue until morale improves.

I’m keep hearing how LED bulbs last longer, but that has simply not been my experience. Bulbs that are used regularly last roughly the same amount of time. Maybe they last longer when used infrequently. I don’t know. But typical lamps and overhead lights in places I spend my time? Nope.

An extremely wealthy white man conspires with other white people to take money for poor people to build a ‘sports park’ that said poor people will never get to see or use. Must be a day that ends in ‘y’ in America.

She’s part of a criminal conspiracy to overthrow the legitimate US Government (because it wasn’t fascist enough for her and her rabid, radical religious cohorts), and the DOJ has all the records and documents necessary to prove it in a court of law.

You’re assuming that the project is going to be entirely funded by KS backers. That’s a bad assumption to make. In fact, successful KS campaigns have been shown to attract more ‘traditional’ investors external to KS funding.

Indeed. As long as they produce a card with a performance level of the 3080 (or even 3090) at the price of a 3060, I won’t much care what the hardware ‘enthusiasts’ chase. But then, I’ve never been one to chase the biggest and best. Of anything.

Likewise. I’m not paying to be a beta tester. Even the free boss-creator they released ahead of the game has some notable bugs.

When you can flip the race or genders of the two legal parties and get completely different outcomes, the laws involved and the way they are enforced have SERIOUS problems.

Something like this combined with the ‘building construction’ system like in Valheim would be an interesting ‘game development’ toolkit. Then throw in the ‘creature creator’ system akin to Spore if you want to get real fancy.

But America totally doesn’t have a racism problem. No, sir. None to see anywhere.

And the sad/scary thing is, the odds of *THIS* SCOTUS ruling in favor of ‘states rights’ (as decided by the Republicans, when they’re the ones wielding said ‘rights’) is at least 50/50.

It’s also another of the Republican Party’s giant, flashing neon “WE’RE HYPOCRITES” signs. The party of ‘States Rights’ when they can’t or don’t control something federally, and when they can’t or don’t control those ‘States Rights’ they’re fine with federal laws superseding them (see: Kansas, and other states like…

Distinctions without a difference. “On the contrary, I’m not robbing you. I’m merely relocating your property.”

Pro-life hypocrites scream about how they’re ‘saving babies’ as if ‘babies’ had anything to do with it, or that they’re not the *CAUSE* of the problems to which they’re claiming to be the ‘solution.’ They seem to be of the delusion that there are throngs and hordes of women going around getting pregnant and having…

If engaging in anti-union, anti-labor actions is illegal in the US, how are firms which exist solely to help businesses engage in *EXACTLY THAT* not equally illegal?

Yeah. Tolkien’s description of the Southrons is pretty racist, though not necessarily towards any specific ‘dark-skinned’ ethnicity, but more an amalgam of racist tropes attached to ‘not being white’ in European culture. That’s more overt than most of other forms of less overt forms of racism in the Lord of the Rings.

Pretty much. The party of “Cruelty is the point” (Republicans, in case there was any confusion) would like to take this (and every) opportunity to remind everyone that cruelty is *STILL* the point. Active, deliberate cruelty towards the oppressed and the poor is and always has been their driving goal — it’s just not…
