You lost me at taxing wealth. My wealth isn’t taxed, at all, in any way. Income is taxed. Not wealth.

Who gets killed so we can provide government services? Lots of people die for lack of services, I’m no commie, but police, roads, infrastructure military are all services I couldn’t do without.

The one thing I’ve found that most people who oppose free trade agreements could tell you about why the TPP was bad and worth opposing was because it unfairly benefitted China at the expense of America. China, of course, was not a party to the TPP at all. So, yeah, “dressed-up xenophobia rather than any real sort of…

Well.... President Obama is a Constitutional Law scholar, and a successful politician, and generally a pretty cerebral guy.

Yes, just keep employing those false equivalencies for Obama and Trump.

With the way the Wings season is going this was probably the best outcome.

That’s a horrible counterpoint

eSports needs to die. It’s not a sport.

Someone really needs to sit down all the professional e-sports players and the people running these tournaments and explain to them that this isn’t professional wrestling and they’re not actors in spandex and makeup and they need to use their real fucking names if they want to be taken seriously already.

That’s hyperbolic nonsense. The Phantom Menace is one of the worst major-release films ever made. It’s fine to dislike The Force Awakens, but c’mon.

I was waiting for the inevitable false equivalence. Thanks.

Oh boo hoo a bunch of rich kids don’t get to have their little club anymore where they can act like total jackasses under the guise of being a “band”

Stanford’s band has been doing awful things for years. Don’t try to give me the story about them “Keeping Stanford Weird” or something.

They’re trying so hard to be weird.

Silicon Valley finishing school: where the elite learn to make video games, disrupt the middle class with a deregulated gig economy, or vertically integrate advertising revenue so that Peter Thiel can drink the blood of 10 year olds in his cryogenic meat locker.

The Stanfurd band. So edgy and anti-establishment, before its members graduate and become the establishment.

I don’t think anyone enjoys the Stanford band except the actual band members, in which case they’re more than welcome to get together, put on their TGI Friday’s uniforms and play music in some non-University sanctioned event or venue.

In response to the student band:

The San Jose crowd should be proud of themselves tonight, probably the quietest moment of silence I’ve ever heard, and A+ level booing of Gary Bettman.

Were any unwritten rules violated? It’s hard to keep track
