I don’t know. I don’t care if you watch it or anything, but I remember back in the day there used to be a big “war” on /tv/ about whether Lost or The Wire was a better show. Considering that the last time anyone wrote about Lost was when Weezer dropped Hurley and people are still writing about The Wire to this day,…

No, she’s not a “really good singer.” It’s the same bullshit trend we’ve been seeing on and off for the last several decades. People who don’t know better think having powerful voice with some range to it is singing talent. It’s not. That’s like saying someone with a large vocabulary and good grammar is a great…

Well, there are two separate problems, in my opinion: First, all the ‘bad singing’ stuff the vocal coach is mentioning. Second, the issue of taste: The National Anthem is not supposed to be sung as a seductive torch song, where the singer eye-fucks the audience. This came about as the result of Fergie being a trashy…

It doesn’t matter. The comments could have been 80 bajillion-0 against, and it would still pass.

And by “a recent post” I actually mean a commenter because that seems as reliable as any reporting on the subject at this point.

Not true, at least for me. I’d be uncomfortable condemning anyone if the only evidence of wrongdoing was second and third-hand rumors, and if the supposed sources of those accusations started directly refuting them.

I’m so confused by this whole thing. I remember the original blind item and the assumption that it was Louis CK.

This is getting boring and a little gross. It’s reminding me of the call for unedited photos of Lena Dunham – skeevy and not what I’d expect from this site.

ok good talk

Most mainstream media outlets have an editorial bias against Trump, largely because he’s a liar and they don’t know how to handle it. But war is really great for ratings.

it only affects you if you live in Seattle or L.A., or one day New York

Adam on Tuesday -: “Fuck Word and MS Office, right guys?” 

I didnt say the free market wasnt working, I also didnt mention any of those random assorted industries you felt like bringing up, but you clearly have a lot feelings about all that......

As this story unfolds, I think you’re going to keep finding out that your position was wrong.

Actually, the contract he entered into with United allows for United to deny him boarding provided he is given a refund. So no, he was in breach of contract and refused to leave the plane. It’s also a felony to disobey a flight attendant in regards to the plane, which he also did.

“As government becomes less powerful than corporations, it attempts to curry favor with corporations. This is maybe not “free market” but it skips a lot of that messy competition to get to what corporations really want: monopoly, legal and without competition. Capitalism’s end state is total monopoly. Corporations…

Wasn’t he beaten up by the police who boarded the plane? I don’t know of any libertarian who says that corporations should be given the power of the State to crush paying customers. You must be thinking of fascists.

The police should have just told UA that it’s a Civil matter and they could sue the passenger if they so wished.

To be fair... The guy DID offer up his seat initially but then explained that he was unable to do so as he was a medial professional because the next plane out was the next day at like 2pm, which would make him late for appointments for patients he had. at which point the immediate response from the plane should be…

As a libertarian, my interpretation is that the government is just as likely to do this to you, or back up the corporation, and that the answer is to sue. If you’re in the right and you’re so sure you’re in the right that you can convince a jury that you’re right, you actually get something out of it that’s useful to…
