Sometimes, articles about Louis CK are just about his comedy or TV show. Similarly, sometimes articles about Beck are just about his music, and not about Scientology. FYI all the major religions of the world have hidden child molestation, rape, domestic violence, and terrorism against the press and former members at…

My layman’s understanding is that for it to be considered attempted murder, there must be an -attempt- to -murder- someone. Murder implies premeditation. You’re simultaneously misconstruing the incident and misunderstanding the definition of murder.

The problem is more complex than “build more housing”. This problem has been developing over decades, and simply adding more housing to an already overpopulated and over-developed area doesn’t solve things. The practical truth is that making prices ‘affordable’ again isn’t possible. Even trying to hold prices ‘steady’…

Charlottesville was a vehicle plowing at speed into a legitimate protest group that had been organized and planned.

“Martin Luther Coon”

No. That’s not what I said. Attempted murder isn’t what happened in this situation, either. Not sure why you’re deliberately misinterpreting my statement and the article, but you do you.

I agree, but it didn’t say anyone had been run over. A couple people had minor injuries, including one person who ended up on the car’s hood for a moment. The car didn’t plow into a crowd - it honked at a mass of people blocking the street, at which point they surrounded it and began pounding it.

In this particular case, yeah, the middle finger sort of negates any protestations of innocence / ignorance he might make.

Fair point. His behavior leading up to the incident definitely doesn’t seem very defensible.

What? No. Try again.

If a crowd of people surrounds my car and starts hitting it, I’m getting the hell out of there. I can’t be the only person who feels this way.

It’s all open to interpretation. This conveniently allows anyone to do just about anything and still claim to be within their interpretation of the faith. The abandonment of rationality in one area (embracing a delusional belief system) leads to a general, uh, -flexibility- in critical thinking.

Yeah. It’s always interesting when people have to choose between a) doggedly holding onto delusional superstitions or b) engaging in behavior at odds with their own beliefs, and end up c) finding their way into a splinter group of like-minded individuals who invent a new version that allows them to cling to their…

Dead eyed, hate filled, drawling yokels. Disgusting.

He has no time to watch (or write) the series! Too busy commenting on NFL games and going to conventions.

There are some serious issues with UBI. It’s a nice thought but it seems to me that an appropriate living minimum wage and strengthened social safety net are prerequisites. Making healthcare and basic education a freely available human right are also prerequisites as well. With a workforce that is educated, healthy,…

I live in a society where there is an actual living minimum wage. A few observations:

He also stuck it to scalpers who tried to profit off the ‘last show’. Whether or not he profited, and whether or not he was sincere, I’m still happy they’re making more music again.

What do you think are the odds that he reads “bombastic” as “bomb-tastic” (thus a positive adjective).

I’m all for dismantling monuments to slavery, but leave it to the pros (or just pull them down with ropes). No one needs chunks of marble / bronze shrapnel flying through their window as a result of some misguided vigilante’s IED.
