No, he wasn’t. He wasn’t being a douche. He was attempting to show how totalitarian things are in Russia right now. Which is why he was discussing what the laws were and how long the sentencing was in his video. He proved his point. Or in this case the Russian government proved his point. Only someone who truly…

As a liberal and 1/4 Native American, I can say: this is why the right calls us snowflakes. Jesus fucking Christ, it’s not aimed at indigenous populations and a second’s thought would make that clear. Their argument is “well, I could choose to be offended out of ignorance.” Too fucking bad. Idiocy does not trump…

“plates cannot contain a slogan that could be considered offensive”

This is one of those situations where neither side is wrong in their arguments.

I disagree that no one is wrong on either side. He should be able to have his plate. A policy that says a plate should not be issued if anyone COULD be offended is ridiculous. Anyone could be offended by anything. I can understand not allowing words that have only negative connotations, but we can’t ban a word simply…

No it isn’t. Historical narratives of this kind are compelling and help us understand why certain policies, inequities and hard feelings persist in the present day. They do not, should not be the basis for infractions or restrictions or any sort of official micromanagement of one’s expression. The history of how First…

This is a classic case of “Offensisenitivity”. Instead of say being reasonable, and ASKING the guy what his plate meant, perhaps even learning something about nerd culture, they chose to be jerks and take offense.

This is one of those situations where neither side is wrong in their arguments.

At the speeds referenced, the centripetal force exhibited on the container of people in tight curves like that of existing highway or rail would be uncomfortable or deadly.

The Milky Way thing is easy, and happening through the magic of universal translation (there’s some explanation of how that works in the Codex). The Angara know of the Milky Way (the same way we know of Andromeda), so all the translator has to do is set up the right term, which is no different than translating…

As a man, I can’t say that I know too much about the pill aside from what I’ve gathered from friends and women I’ve dated. All the ‘taking it responsibly’ and politics/morality issues aside, I always thought it required a prescription because it’s manipulating your hormones. I know a handful of people who had to try…

I’m against it for a couple reasons:

It is. Condoms have been made readily available very cheaply over many counters.

Might not be popular to state, but tax payer should not be responsible for bailing out people who decided to attend this bs school rather than a community college which would have been a fraction of the cost.

I don’t think you know what that word means.

Everyone dies at the end = 1% of films

A handful of people attack one of the most defended places in the Empire without proper planning or the support from anyone else, and they succeed!
But you think them dying when the DEATH STAR blasts the planet their on is contrived? Are you sure you know what contrived means?

The whole point of restricted mode is that it limits things that might be sexually explicit. People talking about being transgendered are probably discussing things that would fall under that category. This isn’t discrimination or profiling. Calm the fuck down.

I personally feel Grace nailed it in her video and its really the opposite HOORAW thats being put forth by this blogger.
