So basically you’re yelling at clouds here.

The fact that state legislatures chose the electors actually further supports my point.

The fact is, the law doesn’t impose any requirement, at least not US laws. These are requirements imposed by game ratings agencies, which are private entities, not part of the government. A large part of the reason these ratings agencies exist is to specifically forestall government regulation in favor of private…

This is purely a CYA thing.

The Electoral College was not invented to prevent Trump, notwithstanding the so-called Hamilton theory of the EC.  The real reasons for the EC are (1) slavery; and (2) the fact that states made up their own qualifications for voting. And those two reasons are closely related.

When he says “constitutional crisis,” what he really means is a crisis within the Republican Party.

I bet we could figure out who this is. Here are some clues:

They got into a struggle, Jones tried to shoot Pownell but his gun jammed.

I have no doubt that most of this (or stuff like this and stuff worse than this) happened. But, does he have receipts? Or is it just fourth-hand hearsay that Trump supporters can easily dismiss?

Lies! Marking the change of seasons by the solstices and equinoxes is a modern invention that makes no damn sense, and means nothing of consequence to anyone except local news weathermen.

I have to say that “Who would have been a better president: Obama or McCain?” actually is a bad question he probably shouldn’t have been asked, and if not for his inability to leave it at that, “I don’t want to comment on that” was a perfectly fine response.

One country, compelled by capitalism, by free people, with a vision, said we’re going to do this.

And I’m saying I agree . . . but that it is the rule for heterosexual pairings and not enough people complain about it for that to ever change. Ever. Really. In 100 years, a buddy cop series with a male and female lead will hint at romantic tension between the leads by episode 5 at the latest.

On one hand, I like that too. Some great buddy shows have been completely neutered for me because the male and female leads just had to end up together. X-Files use to be the gold-standard. But then they retconned it so Scully and Mulder were getting it on off screen, like, the whole time. Their professional,…

Do the people who to make fan-art/fiction tend to create gay/non-binary narratives, or do we just get shown a disproportionate number of these narratives compared to others?

I’ve heard its a tossup between Arabic and Chinese as hardest for English speakers to learn.  Both estimate you can reach near-native fluency in 7 months with intensive training.  For German or Romance languages, its closer to 5 weeks.  

Let’s be honest here, Mr Sessions and co: you don’t want legal marijuana because it would cut down drastically on the number of incarcerated individuals for minor crimes that you can use as legal slaves in for-profit prisons.

I’ve sort of been haunted by something I saw in an episode of Law & Order years back where the murderer bought plans to convert his “sport rifle” to full auto. They made it sound easy. Is this still possible?

I managed to get past the frustration of the top-down portions.  But I simply could not get my bearings in the first-person sections.  That pre-Wolfenstein way of doing first person was just something I could not get my head around.  I even tried making pen-and-paper maps, but somehow I kept screwing them up.  There…

I loved the original Valkyria Chronicles, notwithstanding the battle system was terribly broken. Valkyria Revolution was a $5.99 Gamestop bargain buy that is still sitting on my shelf unopened.  It’s like having Chris Brown ask you out on a date.  I’d be lying if I wasn’t curious, but common sense tells you there’s no…
