I don’t think your comment allows for just how many police officers there are in the US. In 2008, there were more than 1.1 million state and local law enforcement officers in the US. So even if 3 new stories about bad apple cops came out every day, that would still only represent one-tenth of one percent of all…

Yes. It’s becoming his M.O. Defund or back out of a federal program and let private groups who care about it step in. He’s forcing liberals to act like libertarians.

The government didn’t “let” them have a monopoly. Mylan invented something for which no one has been able to invent a comparable substitute. That’s why their monopoly exists.

Spider-man would have so much fun there.

This is not what white people do. It’s what assholes do.

“No problem. Just tear that second building down too... Oh, now the third building just fell down. OK, we can fix this, we’ll just tear that one down... and... now the fourth building is down... Hey, would you guys just like a park here?”

Assuming every child would starve in the street is probably the least humane. The starvation death count in the US is hard to nail down, but most estimates put the annual total (of all ages, not just children) to under 2,000. More people die from drowning than starvation.

So what? Even if all pro-lifers are hypocrites, does that mean it would be OK to kill a baby?

Maybe another one of his superpowers is refraining from bragging about how much smarter he is than us.

The forcefield extension theory has the problem you noticed of not affecting others. I seriously doubt his subconscious desire to protect an aircraft fuselage is more than to protect Lois. But I do think the theory he adjusts his holding positions at super-speed to keep objects intact is more reasonable.

I don’t think it’s fair to say he’s a meathead. His parents were both enormously intelligent members of a scientific society centuries beyond Earth science. Add to this how (in some continuities) Kryptonian knowledge was sent directly into his brain, and it’s like a chimpanzee calling an Ivy League grad a meathead.

According to the data, 238 parents named their sons after the new Star Wars villain last year

Yes. I’ve always thought the best explanation of Superman’s powers were incredible telekinesis with a limited range (basically, just himself). It explains flight and invulnerability, fits with how intellectual Kryptonian society was, explains why he’s vulnerable to magic, and why different colors of sunlight cause his…

This is pretty shady, “gotcha” journalism.

Another feature of Grammarly is it can send you periodic updates, graphing your grammar and spelling over time. A bit creepy, but it could be helpful to people who want to better themselves... those jerks.

Next time, tell them it’s “fancy grits.” Like automation, you can get folks on board if you put it in their terms.

But how do we monetize commenting?

The industries that stand to benefit from automation will pay for it. That’s the whole reason automation occurs. It doesn’t have to be popular. It just has to be profitable and it WILL happen.

The Angel of Ver-DAMN!
