I’ve been toying with the idea of picking up a used 3DS or 2DS to dip my toes into that huge catalog of games. I own a Switch and am excited for when more games come out, but this thing would fill a nice niche for me. It’s more portable than the Switch, cheaper, and has more games. I travel frequently for work and…

I’d be interested to see research regarding the recidivism rates compared between prisons with and without weight-lifting equipment. And not just recidivism, but in-house riots/violence, drug use, etc. Too many decisions are made because “It makes sense, right?” Yeah, on the surface maybe it makes sense not to let…

Technically he could claim he was obeying crew member instructions, so...

*That Guy Alert* Shouldn’t it be “FA” rather than “FTA?” Foxtrot is the phonetic for “F.” I’m relatively new to this wing of the fallen Gawker empire, so I may be missing some subtext, context, or pretext somewhere, but I thought I’d just leave those pennies there.

My wife gave birth to twins a few years ago. They both spent a good chunk of time in the NICU, then one of of them came down with Necrotizing Enterocolitis and went back to the hospital for a few weeks. They then both had to have hypospadias surgeries. We (foolishly) started their care under my wife’s catastrophic…

I think your numerous leaps in logic are revealing a prejudice against anyone who doesn’t wholeheartedly agree with your opinion. Something you said was factually wrong and my intent was to correct that part of your statement. Is it impossible for someone to correct a factually inaccurate statement of yours and ALSO…

I’m not conflating anything. Your post said “white men are the only ones who’ve enacted brutal slavery in recent history.” I addressed that point specifically by pointing out that slavery still exists and is propagated by people of all races. I have absolutely zero interest in tackling white privilege.

I was in high school when I heard this rumor. Went to the truck. Used Strength. Cursed the heavens.

Well said, all the way around.

Truth. There is NO SUCH THING as an accidental discharge. EVERY discharge is either purposeful or negligent. It’s disappointing that the Wikipedia article has several paragraphs on “accidental discharge” and one tiny one on “negligent discharge.”

Well said.

This is a LOT of hate over a 5-year-old singing a song. Wow. Yeah, Trump is a steaming pile of garbage, but lighten up, everyone!

“...become a laughingstock.”

I wasn’t aware the world had elected you its spokesperson. You’ve also conveniently sidestepped any direct refutation of my point in favor of personal attacks. Par for the course it seems, based on your other comments.

Care to elaborate?

It’s a VERY complicated issue. On the one hand you have issues like hospitals shutting down or suffering because of illegal immigrant care and related costs they can’t recoup. You also have the outrageous number of women and girls who are sexually assaulted while they cross illegally into the country as well as the…

Is there a reason upholding these laws is less noble than upholding other laws?

I’m not so concerned with what you think about me as I am with correcting your “white people are the only monsters who would have slaves in recent history” angle. Slavery is barbaric and easily one of the worst things humanity has ever done, but it’s not a travesty meted out only by white people.

Seems like all they’d need is a desire to uphold the law.
