You’ve never done the pot?

Is it bad that despite my always taking care to drive cautiously through neighborhoods - I often stifle the urge to mow these things down, particularly when they’re placed in the middle of the road, just begging for it...

It looks like STEM Barbie to me.

We don’t need to be engaged in a shadow war with Russia in Syria. It didn’t pan out well for Afganistan, and so I get why Obama isn’t eager to repeat history. I also think the EU is strong enough to take point with Ukraine. But Russia meddling in the US election is about as direct of a soft attack as they could make…

I’m pretty much convinced that the only way forward is bottom up - we need new blood in the party, to bring in new ideas and less tainted reason. The old guard lost the election, and a reframing of their stated objectives isn’t going to change anything of note.

I’m thinking the inverse - that liberals in the midwest and the south should migrate to the west coast / north east, where we can collectively, literally draw some lines in the sand.

Silver’s ego got the best of him. He created a functioning system of data analysis. The success of that system bolstered his self confidence in his own personal analysis of information. When he conflated the two, we all failed to really understand that the result was no longer just pure data, but data interpreted…

Republicans have failed to replace it with something that works.

The incoming administration is oddly enough best suited to control its own electorate, milking them while making them think they’re reaping invisible benefits (or being held back by the mythical progressive boogieman). It is definitely going to be an interesting 4 years to see how many wake up in the process. It does…

Actually, it’s public record. Advancements in technology over the past few decades have provided us with a method of accessing information that is faster (and more current) than your local library’s aging suite of Britannica. I won’t spoil the adventure for you, but here’s a great starting point:

Hillary also didn’t win against Obama...

They hacked multiple organizations central to our election, and selectively released information with the intention of swaying the results. This point is agreed upon by every non-partisan agency that has reviewed the evidence. It doesn’t matter whether or not they achieved their goals. If you hack a ATM it doesn’t…

Earned means they worked for it - right time, right place, right choices. Earning doesn’t necessitate integrity. It’s also not synonymous with “deserves”, which would be a subjective determination by the observer.

Point.

My read is the use of privileged is to mean someone, whether earned or inherited, who finds themselves in a place in life where typical life challenges of the status quo are minimized.

They earned privilege. Your point?

It would also fix all problems concerning wealth inequality, climate change, and healthcare.

The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes

Clearly, if not one person in Lukasa in the 80's ever told you that over population was a problem, then it’s not a problem.
