I don’t see it as an example of a rigged economic situation as much as an example that different areas need their own transportation solutions. Capitalism actually incentives some people to reach creative solutions to the problem.

You only need two data points to make a trend line.

The Dark Arts are magic.

Dushku says he would shout “yellow card,” which she believes to be a way of making fun of some harassment training he had already undergone.

That’s not the best link. This is a better one.

It wasn’t a no-loc-ban. It was a ban against wrestling with long hair, of any style, without securing the long hair within a wrap that is attached to the head gear. If the player had worn a wrap that attached to the headgear, as many other wrestlers do, there’d have been no issue. This was the wrestler’s coach’s fault…

This is a misrepresentation of the facts. The ref didn’t make him cut his hair. 2 years ago the rules changed so that a wrestler’s hair wrap (worn to cover long hair) must be connected to the headgear. The wrestler was allowed to violate this rule in previous matches, but in the championship, the ref (rightly)…

If the restaurant can demonstrate the reviewer didn’t purchase the items claimed in the review, that would be some pretty convincing evidence for libel.

I only watch D&D livestreams on Twitch and it always struck me as a bit over-appreciative how much the personalities on those channels kept thanking viewers for not being so toxic in the chat. But now I read this and see that I’m apparently only viewing a sheltered portion of the larger, bullshit version of Twitch and…

What could be in that suitcase?

I starred this only b/c of what you did their.

Even if the number of Republicans you’ve listened to for years is in the thousands, that still leaves millions you’re refusing to listen for nothing they did. I don’t think that’s a good plan.

The generalization you make is that you can correctly identify which people “agree when Trump calls people of my ethnic background ‘rapists and criminals’” based on whether a person labels themselves “conservative.” I think you need more that a personal label to know that.

What happens when you meet someone who labels themselves “conservative” and they DON’T support policies that are hateful, discriminatory, and harmful? Or do you just deny those people exist?

I don’t know how many replies you’re getting here, but I’m getting about half-a-dozen every minute. I hope you’ll forgive me if I skim some of them as I respond. And BTW, insults are pretty childish behavior that make me think everything else you wrote isn’t worth reading.

I agree about the minimum expectations. I just question how you’re identifying whether the minimum has been met. Basing whether millions of strangers meet that minimum on their use of the label “conservative,” is a dubious way to measure. Instead I’d say, judge the conservatives you personally know by what you…

I don’t think you realize that discounting every thought from a person who labels themselves “conservative” is pretty dehumanizing.

So when bad people did bad things, the value of you being open to other people’s ideas ended? It seems like that should make you want to be less like the bad people; not more like them.

OK. There’s a difference between throttling down and cutting off. And certainly, if you’re in a good place where you can still accept some outside ideas from “the other side” without completely cutting all of them off, that’s great. Just keep in mind there’s value in regularly reexamining whether the criteria you’re…
