Yeah, I mean, I’m sure someone on this thread will object, but these people don’t make it hard to play them. At all.

Yep. Also, I hear that Trump’s plan isn’t really to bring back coal. Well actually, who knows what the fuck Trump’s doing. But the GOP knows that coal is on its way out, and their plan is actually to make the exit of coal as painful as possible— no job training programs, no replacement clean energy plants (like the…

Yeah, I heard that they broke up because he needed a mother-figure more than a girlfriend.

I also haven’t been able to stop thinking about this. Maybe because I have a little brother this age.

I agree that North Korea’s awfulness is particular and nuanced — I think most people would. As far as being invested in a particular worldview, everyone has a worldview. If you think you think you’re somehow exempt from that, congrats.

Where do you get this idea that I don’t know the famine in North Korea is over? I believe what I said is, “It’s kind of a dark impulse to vacation somewhere that the citizens can’t leave, any dissent lands them in a death camp, and there’s no food.” And I stand by that. Food scarcity is a very big deal. …

Yeah, totally. And I think a lot of us really do want to help. We just have to unlearn a lot of weird, harmful stuff we’ve been taught our whole lives.

Yeah, fuck those guys. What an awful way to make money.

Yes there are other risky activities, and you have identified a few of them. Seems weird to compare visiting a country to risky sports, but ok.

 It’s totally chill, yeah. As long as nothing goes slightly wrong, you won’t be sentenced to 15 years of hard labor. We have no way of knowing that he actually tried to take that poster, he easily could have been framed. And as we can see, they beat him into a coma, he wasn’t ‘just’ used as a bargaining chip.

Rodman is pretty whack, but his visits are a good way to gather intelligence on NK. I heard everyone in his entourage is a government professional, there to gather intelligence.

Yeah, exactly. If you’re an American, you immediately have a target on your back. I actually don’t think it matters if he tried to steal the poster. The riskiest move was entering the country at all, not stealing a poster. This poor guy. I feel so hard for him and his family.

Haha, right! ‘STFU? What are you, his lawyer?’

If it’s so easy to bring someone over to the alt-right, does it matter if that tweet was sent or not? Trump is shitty. He does shitty things, all the time. If pointing it out once brings someone to the alt-right, they were kind of already there.

Eh. That’s only true if the districts that elected these minority MP’s also voted for Brexit. I don’t think Trump voters aren’t racist idiots just because somewhere else John Lewis can win a congressional seat.

Ah ok, fair. I guess when most people hear rabbi, they picture a dude. I’m a woman who likes men though, so my rabbi would be a guy.

Yeah, all of this. I’m not trying to have a conversation about whether we should vaccinate our kids or not.

Idk, why gender only the rabbi? I get yours, but would probably marry the rabbi, fuck the 711 clerk, and kill the romance novelist. Rabbi because they have loads of education, and do a lot for their congregation. Would kill the novelist because while in theory I think all genres should be respected equally, in reality…

I would marry the trainer, fuck Trainor and kill the chiropractor.

Yeah, cooks are basically like roadies, or sailors, and chefs are just the best cooks.
