Throwing bricks is useless. Voting and getting people to vote with you is what works. You’re not helping.

Home, taking care of my sick boyfriend, actually.

I’m criticizing the protesters that won’t show up for the election, yes. I’m criticizing the protesters that aren’t there for the protest, but are there for the social event, yes.

When protesting actually gets shit done, we’ll talk again.

How do you figure I don’t invest in the process? I donate what little money I can to the causes I support, I’ve voted for progressive candidates reliably for almost 24 years (I cast a protest vote for Perot on my first ballot before he went and revealed himself to be truly insane after his first run) and I plan on

Nope, I’m not. Won’t pretend I am. I genuinely don’t have the strength or lack of awkwardness to do it. I’m talking about the people who get out and protest, who have networks of people that they can support and be supported by. Unfortunately, I’m not one of those people.

You’re definitely not alone.

Then they need to prove me wrong.

The problem is that when it comes to younger people protesting, it’s far, far too easy to fall into the trap of being there because it’s a social event and the impression often given by “woo-hoo!” girls is one of having a good time and being there for the event, not for the cause. And this has been a really large

The problem is that without articles like this one, there’s no hope that the left *will* get its shit together and be capable of fighting back. Look at Occupy Wall Street, for example. So many people, so many disparate approaches, so little organization and focus on the fight after Zucotti park was cleared out, that

Come on, don’t dis President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. For all his flaws as a President, he did the one thing we should all want a President to do: Find the people smarter than him and actually listen to what they have to say.

This is my problem with protests. It’s so incredibly hard to imagine these people actually getting motivated next time when it really matters. If they were contacting congresspeople, getting involved in local politics, etcetera, they’d be an unstoppable force. But ... they’re not. They have no ability to stick it out.

No, no no. *200 million* eligible voters didn’t vote for him, and 65 million of them voted against him. Hit the idiot with *those* numbers.

Best bet is Melania or anyone else he’s ever filed taxes jointly with.

I would call this list extremely solid, though I personally would have flipped GTA4 and San Andreas.

I really liked Trevor, because I saw him for what he was. The unrestrained id of the stereotypical GTA player. But, at the same time if you play enough as Trevor you start to see the real, deep psychological scars that contributed to making him as messed up as he is. Little hints here and there keep cropping up, with

The only thing that sucks about the Dartz is that it’s one of those jokes that almost feels like it could be too plausible for exactly those reasons. It’s ridiculous, garish, ostentatious, and stupid people think that’s what money looks like.

On my 2013 LaCrosse with the eAssist 48v hybrid system, it still had both batteries and could even use the hybrid battery to jumpstart the 12 volt one. I thought that was incredibly clever.

What shocks me is that this was a bill that both NV senators, Dean Heller and newly-elected Catherine Cortez-Masto voted for. Also, it was nice to see that both Angus King and Susan Collins from Maine were also yeas. Every once in a while I do appreciate seeing news from Maine about elected officials that aren’t

I allllllllmost bought a Phaeton, drove 400+ miles to test drive one but it just had so many scary things showing up on the computer and so many little fiddly bits were cracked on the interior and exterior. So gorgeous, though. So amazing to drive. Gods, I wish I could afford one in good shape.
