“Can’t” is a weird way to describe it. They could restructure the schedule to fit all of the acting awards if they chose to. But instead, they’ve decided that some awards just aren’t as cool/interesting as others. And so actors in the short form category get shunned to the lesser program. It’s not “can’t,” it’s…

I’m confused too. I always thought that “Creative Arts” awards were for the people who literally create/craft things — sets, props, costumes, makeup, etc. Using that definition, I could understand why acting and directing would be awarded separately. But apparently I’m wrong, so I don’t know where I got that idea from.

She’s exploiting the situation. When questioned about the neighbors, she lied, and she probably assumed that they wouldn’t call her out on those lies.

On a construction site, you don’t need every worker to be an expert because there’s a whole team of people. You can hire a geologist, an engineer, an attorney, laborers who understand a certain tool or a certain piece of heavy machinery, and many others who each bring their own specialty to the project.

You sound like an antivaxxer creationist shouting at the employees of Comet Ping Pong. 

Among white women, a majority voted for Trump to be president. Trump installed Barrett, a woman. And who do you think these “moms for liberty” and other donors and lobbyists are? Half of the money comes from women.

“Not a reduction in performance” but rather... less of a lie.

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.

Star Trek began more than a decade earlier than Star Wars, and there are currently multiple iterations of it on television. There’s also an upcoming movie. It can be done, and it can be done well.

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.

Yes, but now it means that dozens of databases of driver’s licenses and passports will be hacked and shared all over the web. That “solution” is going to cause a lot of damage.

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

Lemmings don’t actually commit suicide. It’s just dumb, false trope believed by morons.

How many people working in Silicon Valley claim to be “in the tech industry,” but whose entire career is just tracking strangers on the internet? I couldn’t even hazard a guess, but I imagine it’s a much higher percentage of those workers than any of them would admit.

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.

...and somewhere around 30% or more of those “1.3 billion” accounts are actually bots or fakes. (Twitter claims that the figure is 5% or less, but nobody outside the company agrees with that. Some estimates are closer to half. Even if it’s really only 5% of a billion, that’s a lot of shit.)

Absolutely false. Twitter allows advertisers to target people by demographic. This also means that the hate speech can be targeted. For example, gay and lesbian people are pushed toward so-called “conversion therapy” while straight people see nothing of the sort. (I really hate to rely on these neologisms like…

Where did you get the word “outrage”?

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?
