This is laughable. And now we get to move into the era where states do this for every political issue.

Yeah but it’s Parliament. People scream and showboat and grandstand all the time. The dude getting up and destroying the fucking government’s majority by sitting down in a different chair was a frigging pin-drop moment. Imagine if John McCain had actually been possessed of some moral rectitude and had gotten up and…

Eh, maybe it’s time for pet owners to commit to either treating their pets as people, in which case they need to be booked a seat appropriate for their size and travel with a minder, or animals, in which case there needs to be another option to flying them half way around the world.

So the minimum wage staffer misheard or misspelled his name on a coffee cup and he cries discrimination even after they try to apologize? I have a name that can sound like other words and can’t keep track of the number of times I’ve seen bizarre spellings or other names/words used by mistake.

Stop playing games? How noble of you! Continue on with your oh-so-honorable cause!

Civilization is also great at easing people in before getting complicated.

No, it’s a figurehead putting a rubber stamp on a request by the prime minister. The move comes from Johnson and she doesn’t have legal precedent to deny him. That’s not to say I don’t wish she would, but it would throw us into an even larger constitutional crisis than we’re currently experiencing.

“That literally a hereditary monarch subverting the democratic process.”

My understanding is that the queen’s proclamation is more of a formality, because this is the PM’s decision. As such, not dismissing parliament would be the non-democratic thing to do. I could be wrong, though.

She literally has to say yes because she is a figurehead.

“I was working like a slave in the back prepping the buns with pickles and the spicy mayo...”

So was the performance. They have zero chemistry and the song is a snoozefest. It took me back to my closeted days in high school dancing with girls at homecoming or prom and desperately trying to pretend like I was enjoying it while they tried their best to convince me I was, too.

But that doesn’t mean gun laws are a lost cause—a rural community wracked with gun suicides isn’t going to reflexively turn down a sensible plan to reduce that pain if it’s presented in the right way, with clear data and local support backing it up.

Counter-Counter point. Happy Gilmore is still one of the funniest movies ever made.

Look, I can raise, slaughter, and butcher small sources of meat (chickens and rabbits, for example) at home. Within 15 miles of home my extended family raises our own beef and has it butchered right in town.

America’s weird “love-hate-fetishize” thing with Jews is just so weird. Sociologically trying to unpack it gives me a headache. Living it must be worse. In the span of one discussion you can go from Christians considering you their civilizational bosom-buddy to an evil leftist undermining America. 

No its still a terrible idea. Roads are constructed of asphalt or concrete both much stronger, more durable, and more cost effective than solar panels.  You can spend the extra money making a solar farm somewhere else where it won’t be driven over by heavy ass vehicles.  Roads are built out of heavy duty materials for…

Resin durability was absolutely known. This was an incredibly stupid idea right from jump. This was stupidity on par with “building the whole airplane out of the blackbox”.
