Thanks, that clears up a lot!

Must be nice to blindly throw shade when you don’t have the first clue about reality.

Right? If you really want to help the original residents, shop at their stores. If they don’t stock something you need, let them know and they may be able to get it. That will be a lot more impactfull than donating to charity. Help keep those businesses on their feet so that less charity is necessary.

Let’s go with the Old Man’s War model. Your consciousness can be transferred to a new, bio-engineered body when you’re in your 70's. But only if you divest all rights and assets and sign on for a term of service with the Colonial Defense Forces to protect Earth’s future colonies. If you survive a term of service of 4…

Don’t worry though; supporters of Hovater have launched a fundraising campaign for him on a website called Goyfundme.com.

As a Texan, earthworms have more spine than Ted Cruz. I fucking loathe the man.

Counterpoint: fuck you and your fragile conservative sensibilities, snowflake.

I’m hoping by “the edge,” I hope you mean the edge of a cliff. 

In what way does the apparent narrative, (seen in comments and article) “Immigrant was uneducated or just plain dumb and didnt understand what a gun was or how it went off, thus accidentally killed someone with it” condemn the anti-immigration message?

Thank you for this. As somebody who was raised hunting and taught gun safety at a young age, the most maddening thing about the GOP base’s gun fetish is how many untrained civilians invest in weapons that were designed with law enforcement or military professionals in mind. You’ll see group photos with a bunch of…

Fundamentally, almost all financial crises are crises of confidence. Basically, you believe that credit you have issued is no longer likely to be repaid, so you call that credit in. When this happens systemically, firms start being unable to pay off their debts, and, since lots of issuances of credit are financed by…

Oh yeah, I remember how 100% of white women voted for him. There definitely were none who didn’t. Or at the very least, if any of them didn’t vote for him, none of those were ever sexually assaulted.

Right? That passage made me mutter “you’ve got to be fucking kidding me” the moment I read it.

Nicely put.

Mrs. Fancypantsicus and I only use it during sexy fun time, and that’s really the only context where it isn’t revolting. (Using anatomically correct terminology for your body parts isn’t always the sexiest thing in the world).

Most Miyazaki films should be fine for her. I’d particularly recommend Laputa: Castle in the Sky, Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind and Spirited Away. Princess Mononoke is safe when it comes to sexual content, but is darker and more violent.

“Yeah! I mean, in Ancient Greece, men and young boys would—oh god, I’m a pedo, aren’t I?”

Never played Fire Emblem, just googled the character. Gross.

I don’t see alcoholics running around blaming Jack Daniels for making whiskey.

Unless this is accompanied by explicit admission of the things that are true this is just a way to cast doubt on everything.
