Man, I have a friend who's a cop and while he's generally a great guy and he's serious about his mission to serve and protect, but he's a total Thin Blue Liner, and it's impossible to have an honest conversation about police reform. He has a total blindspot for how the bad cops reflect on the police in general, how…

He's a sherbet for the Olympics, too.

Chiming in on the Marijuana thing....

This is a story of how one of the worst days of my life ended up reaffirming my faith in strangers and in the human race in general.

Any beer that isn't in a brown bottle is so for marketing purposes. Notice that this beer, Heineken, and Corona are all often described as skunky, which is from light reacting with the hops.

The Green Bottle curse strikes again!

You are saying some very problematic things and I'm not sure I'm the person to educate you because I'm only loosely educated on this issue. But I'll try.

If you're struggling to exist you either a) are not getting paid "very well" or b) do expensive drugs or live purposefully outside your means in some other way. I'm…

It's really not. It's acknowledgement that the cost of living has run totally off the rails, for both lower tiered hourly employees and those supposedly up the corporate ladder. We're all getting screwed.

Just because you don't get paid a fair wage where you work doesn't mean other people don't deserve a fair wage.
You should be wanting the place you work to pay you more, not McDonalds to pay their employees less.

There is an old black and white movie (excellent movie, btw) The man with the golden arm. Frank Sintatra played a heroin addict.....

Re: the last screenshot-

I think this type of phrasing completely implies some bizarre need for control over gay people. The part about "not hating" gay people is said completely for the speaker's benefit, because it's pretty well established from the time you're a kid that openly professing "hate" for anyone is a bad thing to do and reflects…

Christ, I'm smart enough to know Murphy isn't lynching or beheading anyone. My comparison was the line of thought that allows anti-gay people to try to gain some semblance of moral high groud by claiming that anyone who disagrees with them is bigoted against Christians. This line of thought, when applied in…

Can you and people like you stop hiding behind the word "disagree," as if it's just some friendly difference of opinion.

If you're gonna bring back someone, bring back Bobby Kennedy. Yes, JFK's assassination was traumatic, but losing RFK was the point when things started to wobble and spiral badly for the country.

Solid roster of terrible stuff there, but those 1-877-kars-4-kids radio commercials are definitely a top-5 item on my list. If they're not on the radio in your town, or you just don't listen to the radio, consider yourself at least a little blessed in one small way.

So at my office the partners have a routine for deciding who we'll bring on as a client. They take the prospective client out to dinner (who's already passed other criteria) and base everything off how they treat the server. Some partners have gone as far as to have the server purposely deliver the wrong meal, to see…

No way! Princess Yellow Vest is going to work at the Federal Defender's office and become so hated by the circuit judges over simple scheduling issues ("I have a vacation scheduled that week...and that week...and that week, Your Honor. I realize I demanding this hearing, but I'm not available for it") that she departs…
