No, see, you’re eating the wrong things and using the wrong terms, which is ruining real food for IDM3 and everyone else.

Consume things you like without being judged on your personal taste? What is this, some kind of world where people are expected to mind their own business and not feel the need to drag others for…

Doling out pardons to people who aren’t the least bit contrite and haven’t been at all wronged by the justice system is a sign that the state no longer aims to provide either order or justice. When that’s the case, vigilantism becomes morally justifiable. Does anyone believe this will end with Trump?

If this guy doesn’t get charged, there’s every possibility he’ll start working at a department in another county some time in 2021.

Police aren’t held accountable until they fuck up in spectacular, public fashion. And sometimes not even then. About the only thing police are ever proactively held responsible for is…

I agree. My first paragraph was sarcasm directed at those who are not necessarily diehard Trump supporters, but either voted for him (because they’re too stubborn to see that Democrats are, in fact, better stewards of the economy than Republicans) or sat out the election because they could not see a difference between…

“Really, is he any worse than Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer—well-known as far-left extremists who are completely beholden to their radical base?”

The people who have this mindset (and there are far, far too many of them) are well beyond rhetorical appeals. They are living in an alternate reality just as…

“Law and order.”

If I were a different kind of person, I would be inclined to call on these men to receive extralegal punishment, since it’s now clear that justice is not something the state even wants to pretend it is its job to provide.

With so many people affected, the cost of determining who “needs” the check (which will, as it always does, also become about who “deserves” it) when it’s badly needed as soon as possible is going to make the entire package more expensive than if you’d simply sent a check to everyone. Plus you know many people will…

He’s still out there blaming Democrats alone for the low amount, though. It’s not like McConnell actually wanted to pass anything.

Like all Trump voters, I’m sure they thought it would only be other people got hurt.

“I’m gonna pull the pin out of this grenade, roll it into the next room and see if something good happens because of it. Someone needs to do something to change things!”

Just gonna toss Chris Hayes out there.

Yeah, and I’m sure he’s full of sympathy for the caged children separated from their parents at the border with no plan in place to reunite them because there was never any intention to do so. Eric’s heart is just so full of love, compassion and righteous anger, and he’s so open about it, that it’s easy to overlook…

Someone never played Wave Race!

I’ve long since stopped attempting to explain to people who “don’t get” non sequitur and absurd humor why others find it funny. If you don’t already “get” that there’s nothing more to “get”, you never will.

I realize that, but there’s still some nonsense prescriptivism about it. Plus it is still grammatically plural, taking plural forms of verbs.

Not exactly sure what that means here, but I assume he means that “he/him” and “they/them” are both acceptable.

I’ve personally taken to using singular “they/them” for everyone until/unless told otherwise or I figure it out. I wish English had a singular gender-neutral pronoun (other than “it”, which would work…

To me, those are non-starters. I fucking hate them. If you’re going to present me with a murderer, make them realistic. Psychopaths don’t have consciences.

Dexter is the worst of them all. A way for people to get the vicarious thrill of being a serial killer with a clear conscience because the victims “deserve” it.

Yeah, but drag can easily be seen as a way of mocking women (e.g., guys dressing up in cheerleader outfits for powderpuff football), even when that isn’t the intention. Or just, “haha! Look! It’s a bloke in a dress! It’s funny because it’s wrong.” People can see it as a persona or a character instead of part of who…

Can you please not cite The Daily Mail? This particular article doesn’t seem bad, but we all know they are fucking awful.

While in no way defending the reporting in any of these cases, I would just like to have it mentioned here that Sabrina Erderly suffered more devastating consequences than most cops who unlawfully kill people ever do. And she deserved them.

It’s infuriating. Every time we see something like this, it feeds into the idea…

As always, they will say that “too much spending, not too little taxation, is the problem”. In their mind, taxes and spending should only ever decrease... until someone needs a bailout again, or there’s another nice war to be fought.

The GOP as a political party has absolutely no interest in rational governing.…
