Along with that, I’m getting tired of the Israeli military’s “excuse” that Gazans live in very densely populated settlements. That’s only the case because Israeli’s have essentially imprisoned them that way. They have this lazy, “aw, shucks, what else can we do?” attitude, but it’s entirely their own fault.

She’s the only woman in jail because the incarcerated man killed himself. If she wants to go ahead and kill herself to make it equal, that’s fine.

Okay, so then where is her new bill prohibiting people from donating to political races outside their home state? 

Yeah, this isn’t a serious investigation. This is just basic due diligence. Investigators don’t want to get caught ignoring the one in a million time that a threat is real. So they prod just a little, check off the boxes, and move on.

Out of all the Confederate soldiers who inspired this rule, what percentage of them were tried and convicted?  Where is the subpart of the rule that says that unconvicted Confederates can hold office while only the convicted Confederates are banned? Today’s Republicans want to hold us to the letter, so someone spell…

It’s impossible to just stumble upon cannabis compounds in blood.  You have to go looking specifically for those compounds.  So why was a newborn baby even subjected to these tests in the first place?  (And who got billed for the testing?)  What was the instigation for any of this?

That’s not a sufficient explanation. Lots of government work is kept from the public. Sometimes, a civilian can file a records request (using FOIA at the federal level and similar state laws for state government agencies), but the agencies are then allowed to say no. Other records are automatically protected, and the…

They don’t consider gay men to be men. There are plenty of harassing laws that impact gay men. You have to be heterosexual, white, and Christian to count as a whole person.

A judge said the words “fetus/corpse/body/birthing tissue/whatever.” The top legal expert in the room is using the word “whatever.”

Can a person sitting in a movie theater really tell the difference between an extra who is 5'8" and an extra who is 5'10"? These aren’t scenes with two main characters sharing dialogue. These are background extras with no lines or lingering shots. I just don’t think all of our eyes are that good. This tactic sounds…

Avatar has no cultural impact.

Avatar has no cultural impact.

Agreed. I think that too many people conflate “money-maker” with “popular.” A movie can rake in cash because of variables like the cost per ticket (and 3D movies or other special sound/screen features demand a higher price per person). Avatar made more money because they required that we pay them more money. It’s…

throwing human beings into a boozy pressure cooker while dating 40 people at a time isn’t actually a very good way to produce marriages! (Who knew?)

If it’s the second-worst out of infinity, doesn’t that still sound like the worst? I forget the math rule behind it...

If this tweet is real, why can’t you link to it? Why choose a jpg instead?

This article was like my experience with them, although no one died in the accident. After being their customer for about 20 years with no accidents and not even one speeding ticket, I had a minor accident that would’ve cost somewhere on the order of $2,000. By then, I must have paid many thousands into my decades’…

This is fine. They messed with the timeline so much (like by keeping Peter alive) that it already felt drawn out.

You’re assuming that the rest of us are “haters,” but we’re just average people who aren’t watching movies in shopping malls very much anymore. I saw zero movies during the pre-vaccine pandemic, then I saw just one while wearing a mask post-vaccine, and all that time gave me opportunities to find new hobbies and…

A while back, I was blown away by the confidence of Texas Gov. Abbott when he asserted that Texas will soon have zero rape victims because Texas cops will arrest all of the rapists. How does that work, practically speaking? Cops/DAs can’t charge people with a crime that has yet to happen, but after the crime has…
