I saw Crouching Tiger in the theater (it played in the local art house), and I loved it. I recently re-watched it, for the first time since, and I was on the edge of my seat. It's not just an amazing action/martial arts movie, it's an amazing movie.

And stupidity will always make stupid people stupid, as you are amply, and stupidly, showing.

Salt grinders aren't bullshit at all. Surface area changes the way salt is tasted, and crystal shape and size certainly changes the texture of food (Maldon sprinkled on roasted carrots sure has a different mouthfeel than fine sea salt).

It shouldn't be too hard; his lawyer did a poor job during the trial of Maggie Simpson v. Springfield, murder.

As a joke, it was funny. It wasn't obviously a joke, was the problem, not when Poe's Law rules the land.

Just block him and move on. It's what I finally did.

You sure could! In some courts, you might even be given standing.

That's not what that meant at all. They ruled that some stupid company could recreate your genetic sequence, and you couldn't sue them over it, because your genetic sequence was "natural," and thus available for recreation. "You" the "person" are not public domain. Your "genome," in whole and in part, can be…

There is nothing preventing a public figure from suing for defamation. That is about the only thing that makes a difference between Cheney and Lincoln. Lincoln's descendants could sue, if they could figure out some kind of actionable damage.

There is no such thing as a "public domain real person." There is a thing called "being a public figure." Figure it out.

"No, I use to inform ignorant idiots like yourself of things you should have learned in middle school."

I knew that was coming. Me too. And an American History, and blah blah, a bunch of others, doctoral, who cares. I hope you can get a refund.

If he were Cheney's boss, in the Ford Administration, then the very thing that you bring up, The Halloween Massacre, wouldn't have happened. Which doesn't matter, since that isn't what anybody else was talking about.

Except everybody in political science, constantly.

In fact, huh, The White House sure seems to think that the entire DoD is under the executive branch. I know they are led by a moron, but huh. https://www.whitehouse.gov/…

So "objective realities" are "your made up bullshit, because you are too egoistical to realize that you are wrong in your 'analysis?'" Gotcha. I'm glad I don't live in your world. I bet mine is shittier, though: Trump is alive and you aren't.

"But who am I to let a pesky little thing like "facts" get in the way of a good rant?"

You do realize that the secretary of defense is an executive cabinet post, right? The Pentagon is merely where the physical office is, in order to make the job easier. He was certainly the crony of the Bush White house, by definition. He was also the crony of the Ford administration (let's not pretend that Cheney…

No way man, no way the former fucking vice president and former lots of other public government things could possibly be, like, some kind of public figure! Aww shit, man, did Spielberg get Lincoln's permission?! Aww shit, man, Spielberg is screwed!

Are you viewing this on a potato?
