... How? All the nouns and adjectives are cusses

People at war with them can suspect whatever they like, the OPCW, the Red Crescent, and the UN say it wasn’t nerve gas. I’ll take their word over that of a belligerent party for reasons I hope are obvious.

They voluntarily disarmed in 2013 under French and American supervision, and every time they’ve used gas since 2014 it’s “just” been chlorine. If you have a secret stockpile, it doesn’t make sense to opt for the low-test stuff when you’re going to get the same reaction from the great powers either way.

That seems unlikely to the point of ridiculous. For one, there will never be a shortage of lobbying and lawyerin’ jobs for a Deputy AG, especially one who’s worked in multiple administrations. Second, if he gets fired for this specifically, he’ll be going out as a martyr for the #resistance and be able to run for…

But... the billion dollar one-man new internet project is a real thing. Mencius Moldbug is writing it with Peter Thiel’s financing. It’s called Urbit and it’s way more pathetic than the SV parody.

Well, I also doubt Assad has nerve agents, but... kind of?

So... we need to restrict people’s freedom of movement... to preserve their freedom of... movement?

You get that service workers are the main thing making the city more attractive, right? The forced removal of an entire social class ain’t exactly gonna create a more stable real estate market.

Transplant lists aren’t managed by private insurance companies, which is a pretty easy way of figuring out that’s not what I was referring to.

The drafting committee was assembled at the beginning of the 39th Congress

... is that a joke? They have no demand-side leverage. Because insurance is managed by private companies. Do you actually not understand that there’s a difference?

There’s still a market for private insurance. Also, no company offers ONLY health plans. Socialized medicine is more efficient than the employer provided care system, so yes, some people doing unnecessary and redundant work will lose their jobs. Executive salaries will fall. People also lost jobs to electricity. Coal…

Yeah, economies of scale are a crisis actor!

It’s literally something farmers do

Changing your own oil and peeling shrimp are orders of magnitude less difficult than growing pot, not to mention almost impossible to fuck up

Can confirm. I live in Connecticut and have thrown seeds (and stems) off of many a porch. Only place they grew? Mass., into full-fledged, bud-havin’ smokeable marihuana, much better than the shwag it was descended from. Clearly the stuff of witchcraft.

Well you need more vegetables in your diet then

This is the perfect analogy

Yes, if you pretend nothing means anything, then everything means nothing. You’re very clever for figuring that out. But over here in real life where language is somehow in use regardless, the person who called for a major social reordering and got the endorsement of literally Karl Marx was a radical, and the ones…

Also, he invented emissions testing! And cut tobacco use by like 40%! For real! Stopped clocks and all that.
