To be fair, they’re massive assholes and everyone hates them, so they may be more the exception proving the rule?

Most cults are pretty cheerful - nobody wants a Gloomy Gus or Gloria telling them how the Mouth of God is going to spew forth pure, blinding light and free their soul from the ashes of the world of Babylon. That’d be a major downer if they didn’t smile and offer you delicious food.

I mean, that’s amazing, but that little girl found or managed to build a devastating weapon and her parents either had no issue or were unaware of it? I’m imagining my daughter showing me an amazing robot she built, and that’s awesome. But where the hell did she get the Gatling laser cannon? Are there military-grade…

Neither of North Carolina’s senators will be holding town halls. Tillis has gone to “tele” town halls, which are announced only a day or two before they occur, and only really on his social media accounts or in his newsletter.

No disrespect, but I’m not sure they were being “optimistic.”

You’ve got to give them points for creativity in finding new ways to be dicks to people, though. Like, no, they won’t do anything to the Others directly. They’ll just make sure to criminalize behaviors associated with poverty, defund public education and programs intended to make life easier on poor people, attack any…

He’s a sea lion.

I don’t know that that was his point, exactly. I interpreted the argument (way, way boiled down) to be “This is worthwhile, but it does not address the root cause of the problem, lets decision-makers off the hook to implement wider solutions, and is controlled entirely by the goodwill of a small number of wealthy…
