It’s a flawless chicken sandwich. It’s the platonic ideal. Like saying the bullseye is *just* a spot in the middle of the target.

They were totally unprepared for this situation. Everything will be fine once it goes back to normal. Popeye’s doesn’t have that McDonald’s style efficiency thing down. And that’s probably for the best. The jankiness is part of the charm of a B-tier fast food joint. 

Mass shootings are good for business. Mass shootings —> Media discussion of gun bans —> Paranoid gun nuts stockpiling more weapons and ammo before the gun bans —> No actual gun bans. 

The Ruling Class isn’t like people who make >$100k. It’s Wayne LaPierre and the shareholders of gun manufacturers who’ve created an incentive structure that allows Republicans (and some Democrats) to thwart the will of the people with impunity.

I wouldn’t blame mass shootings on the majority of gun owners in the US. The majority of gun owners and even NRA members support stricter gun laws, but they can’t have them because of the ruling class’s influence in politics.

I think you’ve stumbled on a good point by shifting the frame to guns. “America deserves mass shootings” is a different statement from “The people shopping at Walmart deserved to be murdered”. One is a rhetorically provocative condemnation of the ruling class and the policies they support, the other is a cruel and…

The satire vs. just a joke thing is different. Saying Nazi shit and then saying “im being ironic, lighten up” is shitty. You’re trying to deny the underlying message and avoid responsibility for your words. The underlying message of Hassan’s eye-fucking rant was simply “Fuck Dan Crenshaw, I don’t respect you and I…

We built up Al Qaeda, we didn’t beat them down. We danced with the devil to fight a proxy war with the Soviets. 

I think this “much better” way to phrase things idea is worth looking into. Chomsky said the same things for decades and American foreign policy elites didn’t nod their heads and say “good point, well put, sir.” As time goes on, and the people who say things the correct way get ignored year after year, the rhetoric is…

As a thought experiment, I want you to think really hard about the possibility that Bernie Sanders and all of his supporters are totally aware of all the obstacles to passing Medicare For All. They’ve heard of Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland. They remember Max Baucus and the ACA fight, just as much as you do. Just…

Way to Comet to the gag.

Ha. Is that Dan Dakich telling the ref “boot him” at 2:35 after the first foul?

If you were really from Central PA, you’d grant that Hershey’s has a fine amusement park that’s almost as nice as Knoebel’s but their chocolate is trash compared to Wilbur’s.

It’s a classic TBS movie that anyone with basic cable could catch. Like The Dirty Dozen or Escape From Alcatraz. You’re two years younger than me and I saw it in college in the 21st century. Great lazy afternoon hangover movie.

I’m a big fan of “Lawn Shit Stores”. Fucking windchimes and weird statuary and shit. Not fertilizer or mowers or anything. Just chotchke’s to stick on your lawn. Maybe there’s a section of novelty mailboxes to put at the end of your driveway.

What about “The TriState Area”?!

This isn’t about whether a computer can beat a Magic the Gathering champ. That’s totally a doable thing which can be accomplished with computers and imaginative people. This is more of a mathematical proof about whether something is computable or not. Certain problems are solvable and certain problems are not solvable…

Shouldn’t the orthodox be out with their families walking to schul?

Guys, the guy in the comment thread says, “this woman” is bad. Let’s pack it up. Sorry we tried. Thanks for letting us know, sir.
