I think there are arguments for regulation, but I always think about Coldblood. In the comics, he was a soldier who was operated on after a near-fatal training accident against his stated care directives and turned into a cyborg super-weapon for the military. After his tour of duty was over, he was then conscripted…

It’s a less bullshit argument in a world where the previous two organizations who wanted to regulate superhumans a) tried to nuke New York City, and b) let themselves be infiltrated by a secret society that planned to co-opt their weaponry to kill twenty million people. And now they’re putting dry-drunk Tony Stark and…

“When trying to figure out what the crystal wand is, Sheldon says, “The gift card said it was the perfect gift, but it’s not a dinosaur fossil or matching pocket watches so I don’t see how it can be.” Charming, how he has the mind of a 12-year-old boy!”

Sadly, I think that men being assholes about a woman deciding not to have kids is entirely relevant to 2018.

Well, I would imagine they don’t need to hide it from the IRS, just the NCAA. Who, presumably, is not going to demand to see Nike’s books. So they report this as a legit promotional expense, and if the NCAA finds out, hey, it’s the athlete who gets punished, right?

Um...they know that the Treasury will replace shredded money, right? I mean, so long as at least 51% of the bill is present, they’ll give you new cash in exchange for the damaged bills.

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

Except in Doctor Strange’s case, where he’s always going to fight bad guys who use magic, because that’s basically his whole thing.

I’ve been working on a “call stabbing” feature, maybe we could exchange notes?

There aren’t any easy answers. Ultimately, you really just have to keep voting for progressive candidates, and when they cheat (and they will have to cheat as their policies become progressively less popular) have them arrested, tried and convicted by the rules. And keep up constant public pressure on them to prevent…

Wow. It really is like tapping someone’s knee with a hammer. Mention Daniel Tosh threatening an audience member with rape and assholes just can’t fucking help blurting out excuses for him, even six years later.

The problem is, then the Republicans just add a dozen justices. It’s easy to say, “Hey, we should break the rules too,” but the situation does not get better if nobody is playing by the rules. It just gets worse in a different way.

The thing is, there’s a big difference between “no topic should be off limits”, which I agree with, and “no joke should be off limits”, which is what most comedians want because it gives them license to get laughs by being assholes to women and minorities. The infamous Daniel Tosh incident is a perfect example; rape…

So you’re looking forward to Joe Rogan’s next set too?

“Shitty-but-funny men (and women) make up a very large percentage of all the people we find and have ever found funny.”

It means Louis CK doesn’t come back. Period. No woman should ever have to choose between her career and her sense of physical safety, which is what a “heads-up” amounts to. “Oh, hey, we’re inviting a serial sexual harasser to the club. You’ll just have to make up your mind whether the opportunity we’re offering is…

If this asshole gets confirmed, the very least he can do is show up to his swearing-in drunk and puke on the Bible. As long as you’ve gotten away with being a total asshole, might as well let your true colors fly, right?

If I want pure nihilism, I’ll go read 8chan. Or fuck, I’ll just read articles about the actual fucking White House right now. I’m OVER nihilism. It’s literally got nothing to say. Right now, the bravest and most interesting thing of all is standing up to pointless nihilism.

I will always remember reading in ‘The Devil in the White City’ (a book about the notorious serial killer H.H. Holmes) about how he would chat with the laborers building his infamous hotel of horrors while they worked. And he would casually, jokingly suggest that it would be funny if they dropped a brick on someone…

Okay. So first, whenever you say, “I haven’t watched/read/heard that media item, but I’m going to debate it with you,” you are about to commit a Major Stupid. So we’ll set aside Harry Potter for now with the understanding that it’s because talking about it with you is pointless, not because your arguments have any…
