Don’t blame yourself. Is the person that’s involuntarily injected with heroin to blame for their addiction? No. We’re here for you. You’ve admitted you have a problem; now here’s some video methadone:

Oh, wow.  So that’s a thing.  Noted.

Yeah, exactly.  I’d guess that a cable that’s approaching the kind of force required to pull that boat out would have enough stored energy to easily slice a person in half when it snaps.

This is as good a place as any to introduce Seatbelts On Demand™ (SOD). For only $4.99/mo per belt, you can have the assurance of working restraints in your car. You can subscribe using your infotainment system (Select Settings -> Vehicle -> Interior -> Seating -> Restraints -> <pick seat you want to add to

I appreciate your idea, and somewhat agree, but there has to be a middle ground, at least. The ability to change language and control expression can’t be left to those that are too lazy to learn what’s really going on. The classic example is “niggardly”, meaning “stingy”, and originating in Dutch, iirc. It has fallen

I’m really considering the idea that “all the good causes are taken” is a huge motivator. Some truly amazing people— MLK is rightfully the classic example— fought and died to fix some pretty terrible things. They’ve properly won their place in history and have made life better for billions. That’s quite a legacy.

Window “dressing”? Seriously? You’re going to use that term knowing that Russian dressing is apparently a thing and that the Russians committed terrible crimes? Ever heard of the Circassian genocide? Maybe ask Poland how nice Russians are.

So she flogged that idea hard?  

You know, throwing in “considering the history of America” doesn’t actually turn the parents into masters and the children into slaves. All it does is say, “Ooh, I **really** super-super-want the moral authority that goes with these truly horrifying events but I can’t figure out how to bring that into a discussion

This is the best argument. It’s ok to just say, “Idunno, just doesn’t quite describe what I’m trying to say.” When enough people say that, change happens. It doesn’t even have to be precise— vague, poorly-described dissatisfaction is fine if enough people feel it.

If a person has a Master’s degree in social justice do they just explode?  Maybe that’s the SJ version of dividing by zero.

“The name change has prompted all the usual reactions that follow some type of shift in language away from something racist, ableist, or misogynistic, to something more inclusive.”

But what about track days?  Can you take it off then?

Really? Not a single recommendation for the Boss Hoss Trike? For shame.

I snickered at “Titan Dump”.  Because, you know, I’m still in middle school and immediately preceded it in my mind with “I took a...”.  

I think there’s a pattern here...

Yo mama so hairy and so wide that Sasquatch is her nickname AND the Bronco package you’ll need to get around her!

Yo mama so old AND so wide that she went swimming and Columbus claimed her for Spain!

I can’t say “good”, as there’s no good in sight here, but it does seem more just. I’d love to see coal rollers made to remove those modifications. I’ve been rolled while biking. I don’t stuff myself into Lycra or hog the road or anything. I was riding my 25-year old mountain bike with a rack on the back with my work

This is the best take.
