Not counting taxes... or food, or any other bills either.

I will disagree with one thing though, that 60,000 down payment on a home. That may be the average, but I’m betting it’s a lot lower for owner occupied and first time home buyers. I paid a hair over 5k down for my first home.

Voter Fraud refers to voters committing fraud. This wasn’t the voters committing fraud.
Election fraud is where the election officials or candidates, basically anyone involved in the election process, committing the fraud.
While they have similar results, there is a difference that must be acknowledged. Voter fraud…

Splinter is specifically a political website... not a news website.
They don’t cover things that aren’t political.

Black people cosplay white characters all the time and I haven’t seen anyone do white face.

But for some reason white people feel they have to do black face to cosplay a black character.

Why are we so stupid?

Not likely.
Nisqy wasn’t good enough to hold Bjerg down. Bjerg managed to dominate lane well enough that he had nearly free roam of the match.
Jenson is not Nisqy. He can hold out and even win against Bjerg, meaning Bjerg won’t have the same opportunities to influence other lanes.

Broken Blade can’t stand vs Impact…

Assange is not a hero. He gladly releases anything and everything that may harm the US and it’s government. He’s not being altruistic or moral. Don’t attribute those to him, just because of the MASSIVE amount of shit he’s leaked, a few items actually had moral value.

Manning I’ll back.  She still did so quite…

Because why?
They’re not an attorney or official citing legal documents from the original trial. They’re not a historian reading documentation from that date.
They’re a news organization simply referring to a person. A person who is Chelsea Manning.
If you had never heard of her and saw her on the news and I said…

I’m betting your single and the only person on your insurance?
Your employer is fronting the lion’s share of your insurance cost. Which hey, good for you. Legit, happy for you. You’re doing better than a lot of people.

But what almost no employer covers is the lion’s share of ANYONE ELSE ON THE PLAN. Got a wife/Husband?…

Unfortunately there’s a lot of trans folks that think she’s a hero because of all she’s been through post conviction. And they lose their minds if you say she committed a crime. I’ve sadly run into them :(

I’m along the same lines as you.
She committed a crime and punishing her for it wasn’t unreasonable.
The absolutely…

This is a lot how I feel about it too.
#1. I made more friends in FFXI than I EVER have in any other MMO. The forced grouping structure was a lot of fun for me. Even grinding through levels, killing the same mobs over and over for hours, was just better than “Grab 10 quests, go here, kill 9 things by yourself, turn in…

Blame neither. Removing the gauntlet was never going to work. If the half dozen of them together couldn’t remove it, Quill wouldn’t have made the difference.
Remember that Strange saw 14 million futures and we only won 6... if it was as easy as Quill not losing his shit, it would have been a lot more.
We are IN the…

Holy crap RLC is updating again?!

The really shitty part is.... what’re we the voters gonna do? Vote GOP?
So it’s either vote for garbage democrats like the DCCC puts forth or the dumpster fire GOPs.
Fuuuuccckkk this system.

Shut the fuck up, because picking Abrams as his VP is an AMAZING fucking idea for his campaign. He’s a fucking centrist pain in the ass. She’s absolutely beloved by progressives. He would instantly pick up a LOT of progressive votes.

And Stacey Abrams is fucking awesome, so she damn well deserves a VP position.

Rainbow Boogers to a kindergardener was my favorite I ever played.

Hell Michigan? Beaver Utah? Agua Caliente Arizona? Casa Grande Arizona.
Seriously... someone named a town “Big House”

Worked at a big cat rescue and yep. Can absolutely confirm. Even the cubs would go right for you if you turned your back.
Rules were #1 never go in alone.
#2. NEVER take your back off the cage/pen wall.
#3 never let them see your back.

We had one woman who had been there for a while and thought she knew what she was…

You give republicans too much credit.  They’ll probably shoot it down because “Where are we gonna put another star on the flag?  There’s only 50 stars, we can’t have 51 states!”

Can we also stop promoting Sharia Law as this great big devil to be afraid of. There’s plenty of aspects of it that are primitive, cruel and terrible, but there’s also lots of basic good shit that’s in there. Just... Like... The... Bible...

Lots of Muslim folks have differing opinions on what Sharia means or requires.…

I agree with you that it’s a strange hill to die on. I fully support a lot of her ideals, but I don’t think she has a clue about how to go about them.

As for her sentencing, even for the UCMJ the sentence was considered extraordinarily harsh and out of line with previous judgements.
