You know, at 72, I probably wouldn’t want to spend the last several years of my life fighting against a rapist that I would much rather forget. I respect her decision.

So suicides aren’t real gun deaths to you? Our death rate from suicide by gun is many orders of magnitude higher than any other 1st world country. Speaking as someone who has struggled with severe, suicidal depression, fuck you. the only reason I’m not dead right now is that my family did not own a gun and last year,…

The thing about the ‘well they would have found another way’ crap is that it isn’t anymore true than your claim that including suicides is crap.

That is not true. Limiting access to guns will affect those who have a short-term down turn by removing a method with a high perceived level of certainty and short planning stage, much like limiting access to lethal drugs does.

You want to know what broadcasters want to say when criticized by viewers or listeners? “I don’t call you at work to tell you how to flip the burgers, honey.” A meteorologist has studied long and hard for that degree - and having to meet all sorts of appearance expectations from television producers is a pain in the…

I tend to just wish people would realise that this racist orange asshole would make an awful president.

And here is where a reader runs to the comments section to say, yet again, if you would like to see less and less of this funding mechanism, you would do well to shout about the merits of Kroenke’s capital stack from every rooftop you can find. The man is funding his project with his own dollars (ex site improvements…

I may be wrong since I have little to no experience in municipal financing outside of being an internet commenter, but they usually don’t directly tax residents. Instead they put new taxes on other things (hotels, dining, soda, plastic bags, etc.), which are invariably sold to the public as being taxes on tourists and…

After the kids’ dad was removed from the house I was only ever afraid of being shot. He moved in to the basement next door where he gleefully reported on my every move. If he was going to shoot me and trust me, he threatened it far often enough, he would have been able to at any moment. It took a bit of legal rodeo…

I’m sure the LSU alumni network loves hearing that when she tries to use that connection to get jobs.

Of course, this doesn’t exactly look good when future employers research her either.

Not that this chic needs to feel any more like a victim, but I blame the legal advocacy group that is using her as a pawn. Same thing happened with that bigoted county clerk who didn’t want to issue marriage licences to gay people.

That is even worse! LORD, child, just get a job like a normal person and work your way up.

And that’s one of many good reasons you need affirmative action—to counterbalance the enormous advantage that legacy candidates have.

I would say, “what’s it going to take for things to change? A congressman being killed by their spouse in a domestic dispute? A congressman’s daughter? Son?”

From the Detroit Free Press article:

This is what it sounds like when Dubs cry

Said this on another thread but it got buried, so I’ll mention it one last time and shut up. The best regular season teams in the 4 major sports (‘96 Red Wings, ‘01 Mariners [Modern era. Sorry dead ball Cubs], ‘07 Patriots, ‘16 Warriors) all choked in the playoffs.

Thanks for the fearmongering, Lapierre. Now we’ve got armed untrained civilians blasting away at shoplifters:

I don’t use the word hate lightly. I also try to remember that most people aren’t good or bad, everyone has some humanity, etc, etc.

Yes at this point idc if my kids even go to college. If they do I want them going to an all women’s college. I refuse to let them at one of these schools unless things change faster.
