but... a huge portion of the country’s population believed that the counter-protesters were on the wrong side.

Okay, but if you care so much about other issues, then talk about them. Telling people that you don’t care about the thing they’re talking about doesn’t do anything to fix the issues you care about, especially if you don’t even name the issues you care about.

But Picard didn’t come out of his experience as Locutus the same hero he was before the story.

Alt-right isn’t a derogatory term though — it’s the name of a white nationalist group that wants to install a fascist government, as coined by Richard Spencer. Alt-left is a term made up by the alt-right to make reasonable movements like BLM look like they want to overthrow the government and kill all white people.

OMFG

If you’re talking about writers going after people in the comments section, that’s been going on since way before Gawker went bankrupt and been way more aggressive than this.

Gee-ta with a hard G rather than a J sound.

Yes, but regretting it immediately and helping your victim recover more or less knocks out the possibility of it being a legitimate, premeditated murder attempt rather than a rage-induced assault. It’s a fine line, but such is law.

The stabber called 911 to let them know he had stabbed somebody nearly to death and his opponent needed medical assistance, so he probably didn’t intend to kill.

The stabber called 911 to let them know he had stabbed somebody nearly to death, thus demonstrating that he didn’t actually want his opponent dead.

iPods “play nicer” in that they don’t suffer from the lag and glitches that come with Bluetooth systems and don’t store music in the cloud and therefore don’t get interrupted if your reception is spotty. Otherwise, they are essentially the same.

It’s a really interesting question! I was thinking that whales interact with air sort of the same way we interact with water — they come into contact with it for survival’s sake, but rarely get to do more than touch it and take deep breaths of it. Maybe being in the air for them is a little like being underwater for…

Texas is huge, and millions of people live outside of its cities. Much of it really is highly nationalistic, although a lot of it is Texan nationalism rather than U.S. nationalism.

He’s far more obnoxious than any Kardashian.

:(((

Yeah... but when that preposterous sensationalism represents the actual views of a significant chunk of the population, it is relevant. Like how what Breitbart or the National Enquirer thinks about an issue over here does actually matter to some degree, since so many people will take it seriously.

I completely disagree with the person you’re responding to, but that’s nonsense. A major part of racism is that white people have dominated world politics and culture by force in recent centuries, even though about 80% of the world’s population is not white. Therefore, by your (bad) definition, racism is a more…

No hard feelings.

I really don’t want to get into a fight here, but someone suggested you were weak and you wrote seven paragraphs about how tough you were in response. To borrow your first paragraph’s question, is that “a normal adult behaviour? You think that is emotionally stable? You think that someone like that would respond well…

THIS GIF IS WORSE THAN THE VIDEO.
