I just hope he skips WAAAAZUUUUUUP????

It's a testament to how strange a world we're living in where my only objection to this comment is the slavery part. Too harsh. Maybe jettison into space?

I can see how the quiet absences and muted nuance in the book could translate into a boring read for some people. But to me it made it better. I loved how plausible the book was, if that makes any sense. He took a creepy, 90's horror premise and wrapped so much place and detail and culturally hamstrung character…

I know a couple of clerks who can help him find what he needs.

More like ipe-cock, amirite?

This comic on the Nib already circles that square, so you may be onto something:

All the protests occurred because of a movie!!!

Koka-Ko! Koka-Ko!

Some people choose to see the evil in this burger; I choose to see the bacon.

This is the first time I've ever called and complained to a government entity. I did a really bad job of it but I feel like an actual citizen now.

Fuck raincoats! I look good in this white T shirt!

Ignored by people who prefer keep up their routine, comfort, and appearance rather than proactively prepare for the possible worst case-scenario?

You must be great with teenagers.

The scariest thing to me is that their rebuttal-to-the-rebuttal article includes this gem:

Pfft. Please.

I just took the plunge and read the rebuttal too. Terribly offensive pretty much the whole way through. Real strong start with the invented logical fallacy "argumentum ad puellam pulchram." Strawmen abound. There's even one chart with arrows that point at dips in temperature averages THAT CLEARLY OCCUR IN FUCKING 2006…

To be fair, I see this behavior from fierce independents (the "far-indie"?) too. They just keep telling me to "wake up."

Nothing would have changed the outcome? I'm skeptical. Do you have a reference for that? If there's evidence out there that proportional representation really wouldn't have swayed things one way or the other I'd like to look into it.

Yes, and that system currently produces a disproportionality that impacts the relative weight of a citizen's vote when determining the leader of the country in way that rightly upsets some people. What aren't you getting here?

You're willfully neglecting the fact that electoral votes also include, by default, a minimum of 3 based on the 2 senate seats alloted to each state and minimum 1 delegate from the house. No census is going to fix that buddy.
