This is disturbing.

huh.

That’s a bit of a straw-person fallacy that willfully obtuse men like to throw around. Nobody is asking anybody to keep their knees clamped together, just to keep them within the confines of their own space.

what are you going to do?

The whole U.S. insurance model is to deny coverage, and only cover either common, well-documented type problems, or to only offer to cover something after repeated appeals.

it instills a false sense of confidence.

How many days is your battery going to last?

I think crawlspaces are also more common in areas with a high water table or that are otherwise prone to flooding, and basements are more common in areas that get well below freezing in the winter, as they are somewhat less prone to frost-heaving.

I’m going to be that guy...

yeah, whoever was saying that needs to be told that Tide Pods are a superfood

what a fucking disgrace

I often have to manually select .jpg in the image editing software I use to crop it, but that might just be what I’m using. it also might just be kinja.

it’s a bit more effort, but if you want to respond to something a troll is saying, I take a screen shot, crop it down to their comment, dismiss their comment, then reply to the person they were replying to with the cropped screenshot as an attached image.

well, that sucks. That “ark-park” is some high-octane nonsense.

That article strikes me as a pretty blatant hit-piece, but it makes some valid points.

As appealing as that is, I feel like both of them are currently doing great work in the Senate, and I feel like the VP would be wasted on their abilities. I’d rather the one who doesn’t get the nomination remain in the Senate, and keep doing good work.

I think (hope?) it’s going to come down to Warren and Harris. Warrens got pretty similar policies to Sanders, but she actually has coherent plans for everything. And I think Harris is going to just kill it in the upcoming debates.

ooh... I wasn’t aware of this, thanks for mentioning it  :)

yeah, that seemed like one of the worst answers possible.  I would have expected the typical “my views have evolved” or some milquetoast “working with the times” or whatever.  But “States Rights”? srsly?  that was the defense for treating people as property...

This is one of the main reasons I started paying attention to Harris. Nearly a decade ago, I ran across and picked up her book Smart On Crime, and really liked how unlike so many prosecuters, she worked to actually reduce crime, instead of just fluffing her conviction rate.
