I think you’ve got reading comprehension issues if you think this site hasn’t been roasting his vapid ass for months. 

Bloody hell, calm down. Rational people can disagree with expansive free-speech absolutism interpretations. There’s a logical case that the US has been too consistently friendly to the margins in a way that has enabled the growth and spread of radicalizing fringe groups. You can disagree that anything should be

The first amendment protects your right to use websites and apps that other people built however you damn well please. Everyone always gets that wrong, thinking it allows you to say negative things about politicians or not be a Christian or some crazy thing like that.

Wow, I knew Delaware was a screwy place — there’s a reason companies rush to incorporate there — but to learn all this is fascinating.

Why don’t we call voting for Biden in the General Election “Plan B.”

I was actually just thinking this when I read about his doubling down on it. If you want to play up your Bipartisan Boomer cred, why not talk about Bob Dole or Jack Kemp or someone who is more fondly remembered? Or John McCain, we’re still at the point where it’s a crime against Discourse to pretend like he’s anything

Games where mechanics are tied to randomness, i.e. loot drops (like Diablo) aren’t really a problem if you can obtain anything you want without paying more than the initial purchase price of said game. It’s a self contained Skinner box where you do X thing in hopes of a better result. (Let’s not get into the iffy

Let’s call them what they are a GANG. They where colors, flash gang signs, and participate in illegal activities. We may laugh, but they have beaten many people all over the country, and two were convicted for violence in Charlottesville, and multiple were convicted of assault in NYC.

Except you can’t work with these Republicans, and to believe you can is a dangerous fucking delusion that you and Joe Biden seem to share.

Sometimes you have to work with terrible people to get basic things done. The fucking children who forget this do so at their peril. And ours.

Biden started his career fighting busing. He doesn’t actually disagree with them. He just thinks they should keep uncivil words out of the public.

“we must be civil with racists" is going to turn out the vote so much

Even now The Onion hits the nail on the head every once in a while:

“And WHY is doom in quotes?! Is it some sort of ironic doom?! Is the wink implied?!”

I have an immune deficiency disorder, so even though I’m vaccinated, I’m far less protected than the average vaccinated person. Herd immunity reducing the risk of exposure is my primary defense against diseases like measles and whooping cough. And like you, whooping cough is making a resurgence here. At one point,

[This is getting repetitive:] Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Republican Party, “The party of law and order,” and “the party of personal responsibility.”

I honestly don’t understand what the goal is for you guys that want to lay down on impeachment because it likely won’t remove Trump from office. You claim that it would hand Trump and Republicans a political victory — but abandoning impeachment is the ultimate political victory. It would send a signal that

The reason is “Because he’s a skinflint cheapskate con man grifter, as he has been his entire life.” But the odds are real good he’s found a way to actually lose money somehow by skipping on his bills.

I don’t think the problems lay as much with the technology as they do with both the safety and logistics of this sort of thing. To truly make this economical would require a massive build out of infrastructure involving some type of mini airports at the same time that the pipeline for small craft pilots starts ramping

Uber’s really dangling that shiny bauble of promises to keep the cash flowing in, aren’t they? You have to wonder when venture capitalists are going to put down the coke long enough to realize what’s happening. And what it’s going to do to the economy when they finally expect their investment to produce more than
