They have contracts that penalize them if they quit.

I don’t think privacy laws should be altered to allow mental health professionals to share information with their patients to authorities (except perhaps under the most dire of circumstances). I don’t think teachers should be armed. Each of those ideas has been floated by one or more Parkland survivors, and I flat out…

It’s as simple as this: The Parkland kids took live fire. They have had high velocity rounds fired at or near them. They’ve seen what those rounds do to live bodies of human beings. Nugent has not. Nugent is a coward who happens to be an effective debater. These kids have more say in this. Period. Nugent will see a…

The problem with Shapiro and the other right wing commentators remarks is that they are lobbing personal attacks and ad hominems rather than addressing the ideas. Here is the crux of what Hogg and others are saying:

Wow, what an awesome blast from the past. Had completely forgotten about that character. As funny now as it ever was...

“Is FB is in works to bring back the unicorn. Not a game, but actual unicorns?”

To say nothing on how the internet and social media has allowed LGBTQ and other oppressed groups to commune, share ideas and express themselves without the fear of immediate violence.

“Every good developer/publisher” does not, in fact, scrape pretty much the entirety of US Facebook profiles in a wildly egregious breach of the Facebook terms of service. Cambridge was very much unique in that.

In terms of the complexity of the story, the other half is that the data they gleaned from this unallowed…

That’s not quite true - they’re run by the mega-GOP-donor Mercers, and were originally working for Cruz’s campaign in the primary. However, this was certainly the data analytics company used by Trump’s election campaign after Cruz left the race, though they were used as contractors, not as a direct subsidiary of the…

Or so not complex that it doesn’t make for a click-bait, ‘FB might be F’ed” story.

Kinda smirk that says, “You don’t begin to understand corruption.”

As an intellectual.

It’s pretty Shakespearean

I almost have to admire this Russian as a fantastic joke where the idiot you helped destroy the enemy’s country will do so because he believes he is so great while having the perfect set of devastating character faults.

I watched it with my dad and our after-movie conversation went the same. Maybe with a bit less of, “What did he do wrong?” and a bit more of, “Learn from this and please, please, please, don’t make bad choices like Winona.”

I am curious. Are you against films that examine the reality of our lives or do you crave false narratives that celebrate woke men who do not actually exist in society. I think sometimes a good film shows you the hard truth. It is not required to offer the politically correct fantasy we expect of men, but will never…

I don’t think American dreams deserves to be on this list; I never saw Lester as a hero. The story is about about all these people’s desires to be an ideal that’s probably been sold/advertised to them, and how it makes them all miserable.

I never felt bad for Lester, he always made me uncomfortable. I felt sorry for the daughter, the girl Lester preys on, and the moody next door neighbor with the asshole dad. I think I mostly ignored the mom because as a teen girl I couldn’t relate to her storyline as much, but I sure as fuck knew how it felt to be…
