The best part of the catholic sex scandals was that the fault was pretty effectively placed on the gay community instead of the monsters doing the molesting or the (arguably) bigger monsters that let the shit go on without stopping it.

In addition, Christian churches don’t pay taxes and Catholic priests molest children with no repercussions.

The niche subs are some of the best. If you have a hobby, there’s probably a sub for it, and, unless it’s a hobby that attracts a lot of douchebags, it will usually be populated with really nice, helpful people. The defaults get toxic pretty quickly, though.

Bootstraps only matter until you have to pull your own.

there’s one group that sees itself as unfairly targeted, as Politico’s Jason Schwartz noted today: conservatives.

Conservatives control the White House, Congress, the Supreme Court, the majority of state legislatures, the majority of governorships, and run the highest rated cable news channel. Obviously they are being oppressed.

Sorry to break it to you, but The Dissolve closed doors three years ago*. I’d love to say that Phipps, Tobias, Robinson, Koski and Rabin are all doing brilliantly, with well paid gigs at prestigious sites which refuse to churn out GJI style content, but unfortunately I’d be lying.

Ernie tried to vote in favour, but the system somehow subtracted someone else’s vote, instead.

Twice.

Finally, collective bargaining rights can do what they were made for: bringing back Disqus (or the systems before it).

Unhelpfully.

How did Ernie the Kinja Tech vote?

“My girlfriend is talking about getting married but she only earns 125k and I’m about to hit 200k with bonus. I’m worried that she’ll drag me down and it’ll affect my standard of living. How can I get her to earn more money?”

Yep. “I’m 25, make $150k a year, and only have $200k in savings. Am I on track for retirement???”

I’m not seeing this anymore. As I said elsewhere, even 15 years ago, you’d have a point.

One time as a kid on family vacation to Orlando, we took the tour but it was during the off season, so no one was filming. They had us do a little trivia contest instead which I was selected for and won in a landslide, and all the other 10 year olds were very impressed that I could name all four main characters of…

That’s what is being implied by the police reports. They believed he was the suspect that was breaking windows so they pursued him.

Um, haven’t you seen the science-fiction movie Terminator 2 where the Terminator hides an 1887 lever action shotgun in a box of roses? Every bouquet could have an 1887 lever action shotgun hiding inside of it. They teach it at the academy.

Whoa there, I’m all for police being punished for their crimes, but attacking someone for their “weak slippery slope argument” after you just fucking suggesting publicly executing ALL cops is bonkers.

I still have my copy of the OEF Rules of Engagement from when I was deployed to Kosovo 10 years ago.
