you could uh just not visit io9, a website founded to talk about sci-fi

Listen: don’t click on the article. If you click on the article only to complain about the existence of the article, then you’re an idiot.

Then why did you click on a non tech story and even comment on it? The answer is because you don't come here for tech, you come here to bitch about things in the comments. At least that's what your actions say. You'll probably say something to the contrary but you know the old expression about actions and words.

Ok now connect the dots and try to imagine why she would do that instead of going through the proper channels 

*shrugs* Sorry for having a moderate, pro-choice opinion on the subject of abortion that’s not yours... I guess?

I’m adamantly pro-choice, but to be honest, 29 weeks make me fidgety, and I suspect that’s why the prosecutor decided to charge her at any cost.

True. This is just my version of “thoughts and prayers” when Republican states shoot themselves in the foot due to their own ineptitude and ignorance. I like to imagine a world where they have just a shred of introspection.

The amount of cars that simply drove around that wreck is absolutely mind boggling. What the fuck is wrong with people??

I lived in Raleigh for 20 years; one of its satellite towns, Cary, has long had the nickname “Containment Area for Relocated Yankees.”

My hometown is about 40 minutes outside of Boston and just about every guy I went to school with is enraged about kneeling at football games, Superman being gay (he’s not, it’s his son), and general maga trolls.
