Oh, you think throttling battery usage in a four year old device that is substantially the same as newer models was due to design issues?

It’s perfect strategy. He does the white boy thing of remaining “true to himself,” and he gets to deride both corporate types and Trump at everyobe else’s funeral.

1) The premise is silly. Politicians are not supposed to be your friend. They’re supposed to be everybody’s friend. If you happen to be in the majority ethnic group/religion/political faction politicians will offer you something that is logically equivalent to friendship, but the second the rest of the majority…

Ethnic Swede here. Never heard of a Swede with anything but -son. The -sen was always how we’d detect Danes.

I thought that was pretty clear hyperbole. But apparently wherever you’re from hyperbole is not a thing that is common.

Well like I said, Grumpy Luke didn’t bother me. I was more put off by plot holes, repeated stupid decision-making by multiple characters that could be totally avoided if they just talked to each other, cheesy acting, cheap sets, and preposterous shit like Leia Poppins, “dropping” bombs in zero gravity, and space…

Be fair. Neilsen is the Danish spelling. Norwegians use Neilson. It’s entirely true that Norwegians would just be Danes with a different set of funy accents if the Swedes hadn’t conquered the damn place in the Napoleonic era. But Kirstjen is clearly one of those annoying “creative” spellings that afflict so many…

Because having your face on a movie poster is your job, there are only a couple hundred of films made per year, most of those films have only one or two female roles worth playing (and most of those roles are written for someone who is not your race/height/hair color/bra size/age/etc.), and if you say no Allan’ll just…

Statistically speaking almost all people are descended from Niall Noígíallach. Not only from him, but from everyone who was alive during that time and has surviving descendants. He ruled in roughly 450. That’s 1,350 years. ago. At 30 years a generation that’s 45 generations. If every generation has two surviving kids…

Racism in the States is based on which group white people will pencil you into based entirely on your physical appearance. Racism in Europe doesn’t work quite that way. It’s cultural. Nazi racial theories are notorious for not having anything to do with physical appearence, and then not being sure what to do with…

Bullshit response. The universities still could 1.) implement comprehensive sexual harassment training 2.) review their sexual harassment policies and their reporting procedures 3.) ask current staff and PHd students to identify problem staff and than force those persons to take more advanced training. They are not…

They don’t press her more because it doesn’t work. She’s not gonna answer the question, in most cases she doesn’t know the answer because Trump doesn’t tell anyone the answers, for another the media doesn’t have precisely one question (it’s not like everyone can just press her on DACA and ignore North Korea tweets),…

It’s not heritage for Hoekstra. he was actually born in Groningen.

“Shanty Irish” doesn’t just mean Irish American. It means working class Irish-American. Shanty. Middle class Irish Americans are Lace Curtain Irish. I doubt there’re fistfights at Kennedy family events.

u think democrats are not courting trump voters? why not court progressives and independents?

I’m not a “Bernie Bro,” but I did vote for him in the primary. I have long been a fan of Booker and I would support either of these 2 for a national race. In fact, I would much rather have President Harris than President Clinton. Sorry that people are so in love with Hillary “Tough on Black Crime, Super Predator…

Agrabah doesn’t actually exist. It’s a fictional landscape. And when did I say I had written off this movie for that I think it’s going to be terrible? You’re reading into my words

This isn’t a community theatre production with 12 actors. This cast is 500 people. Disney claims literally 400 of them were Middle Eastern. A place like Agrabah would probably have been less then 80% Middle Eastern/South Asian. A lot of those Middle Easterners wouldn’t look Middle Eastern. Levantine Arabs frequently…

Jason, this is Africa. Your default assumption should always be that the rich white people most responsible for any given mess are French, with a possible assist from the Brits.

Ever heard of the Ogadeen conflict? AKA the one that started the rebellion that brought Mohamed Siad Barre down, thus indirectly leading to the mess that Somalia is today? Did you hear that it everything would have been different (and Somalia not only united, but saved) because when the Soviets airlifted in Cubans to…
