The conservative risk of assault argument isn't all that compelling because it's fictitious.

Yes. My point still stands. By removing the federal guidelines, the federal government is explicitly giving states their blessing to discriminate against trans children. And doing so under the craven states rights argument.

Okay, I'll bite…

Did you bother to read the post? It's not about feelings - its about trans and nonbinary kids not having to worry about being harassed and assaulted in a restroom.

You're almost definitely right, but if he wasn't a billionaire before his presidency, he will be after (assuming he's not impeached and convicted for treason. I'm pessimistic enough to think that he may actually manage to dodge that.)

Weren't Elon Musk and Bill Nye a while back talking up light propelled miniature spacecraft that could reach speeds of up to .2c?

This is awesome, but a couple of serious questions. I haven't been able to find this in any of the press about this story. Are these considered to be better candidates for habitable planets than the one discovered orbiting proxima centauri? The planet found there is I think about 1.5 times Earth's size, probably…

Goober peas.

Fun fact I learned recently - In the Hebrew, the act Onan committed isn't specified. All it says is that his seed was spilled "unnaturally," or something to that effect, during sex (if I remember the story correctly, God wanted him to have sex with a servant, but Onan didn't want to get her pregnant). The traditional…

I agree. The level of fun depends entirely on whom you're playing with. It's only as bad as the psyche of the worst person you're playing with, so the key to enjoying it is not playing with shitty people.

No joke, constantly. I was insufferable. I still catch myself doing it from time to time. My wife has the patience of a saint.

Sigh. I'll reluctantly cop to having that Pink Floyd poster up in my dorm freshman year.

The whole Drumpf thing made sense in the narrow context of calling him out for the time he attacked Jon Stewart for not using his birth name (in a not-at-all subtle antisemitic dog whistle), and it was attached to an otherwise well researched and incisive piece, but yeah, I agree that it fell flat and came off fairly…

Not to mention that one is a co-host on a morning variety show, and the other is the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED GODDAMN STATES.

Tacos de lengua are delicious. The tongue's actually a really tender and flavorful cut of meat, if prepared right.

I always assumed the plural of Jedi is Jedi. Or maybe Jedae. Or Jedes?

Try Russian plurals, especially when the genitive case is involved. It's completely arbitrary and nonsensical.

It took years for me to figure out what Sam Elliot was talking about in The Big Lebowski with the "Sometimes you eat the bar, and sometimes the bar eats you" line

So let's put aside any question of bias or disproportionate coverage. To me, the whole implication that CNN of all places is some sort of liberal mouthpiece is beyond baffling, but that's irrelevant.

On the other side of Lake Michigan, I'm straight-up terrified at the prospect that Tammy Baldwin might be facing a challenge by Sean Duffy, the former Real World star who recently told a reporter to look "all the good things" that came from the Charleston shooting.
