Every time I’ve actually needed a cop, I wait around for two hours, get condescended to by some dork with a 3rd grade reading level for 20 minutes and then am told that there’s nothing they can do.

You’re right. Cops arrest poor people and the mentally ill. Prosecutors send them to prison.

Not to mention that mine costs me $1200 each month, which is about a quarter more than my mortgage.

The comments section on splinter always works as a good emetic for me. These are supposed to be “progressives” who, whenever actual, you know, progressive issues arise, fall back into stances defending the status quo.

Well, thing is, the cocaine abuse would actually be a very obvious (in retrospect) answer for why:

I mean, I guess? It depends on a person’s goals. If a person wants to be good a lifting weights, they should lift weights. If they want to run a 10k, they should run. If they want to do 100 pushups, they should probably practice pushups. “Fitness” is more about tailoring one’s workouts toward one’s goals. But there…

While I agree that this dude is milking his “results” how would this workout be a waste of time? The vast majority of people would benefit from any kind of workout, and anyone who can do 100 pushups and run a 10k is in pretty good shape. 

Wait, is this...is THIS the medical emergency that kept Drew missing for all those months?

Ah yes. The pursuit of happiness. Forget peace, freedom, justice, dignity, respect, compassion, reason. Those are merely distractions from the real purpose of life--cool-ass electronic toys. To distract ourselves from...our lack of peace, freedom, justice, dignity, respect, compassion and reason. 

Shitlibs don’t ever learn—when turnout is high, Dems tend to win in landslides. When turnout is low, Republicans barely win.

Far, FAR, too coherent, my man.

The best part of all of this is you let a guy who is brought to his knees by COOKED red onions say he was going to make quick work of you and impregnate your womenfolk.

While I’m not necessarily defending Barboza’s choices of “defense” up there, this criticism of MMA fighters ignores that the grappling/wrestling element muddles what are typical striking fundamentals. Lateral movement against someone hunting for a takedown often plays right into the wrestler’s preferences (moving…

Gee. It’s almost as if a sport like basketball just attracts violent, angry people....

Do we really want to go over all the losses mainstream dems have incurred since Reagan became president? Because it’s a lot more embarrassing than those numbers you just posted (which are inaccurate, but I’ll let them stand because it’s a piss-poor argument anyway). 

Yes, the tens of thousands of people who supported Stein are solely responsible for Trump, and not the fact that the Great Pragmatists rigged the primaries so that the least popular politician of the past 40 years could be the Democratic candidate.

Kowtowing to the “center” has worked so well since Reagan, hasn’t it? Let’s keep doing it!

Ah, yes, the Great Pragmatists. You assholes have gotten us what, exactly, in the past 30 years? 

Right. But what does any of that have to do with the points he was making in this article?

Most of the really good restaurants are in Santa Fe. But Albuquerque has some legitimately good hole-in-the-wall joints and cafes.
