Sadly I’m very familiar with this site. And occasionally they do actual journalism. Nick Martin’s recent stories have been quite good. Unfortunately that is also offset by stuff like this, and anything HamNo posts.

That’s my secret Cap: I was already grayed.

Yeah, I guess it’s too much to ask for anything crazy like standards around here. Both in terms of the actual content and its presentation.

Here’s an honest question: What does Splinter gain by reporting on such a dumb, nothing story that would otherwise go unnoticed by virtually any other legitimate media outlet?

I’m less interested in whether a vehicle avoids accidents than I am in how well is it going to protect me once I am already in an accident. It’s my job as the driver to avoid an accident, but once I’m in one there’s usually fuck-all I can do to improve my safety at that point.

PETA literally kills perfectly healthy and adoptable animals and disposes of them like garbage because their thinking is so fucked up that they think having pets is wrong.

Some times I almost think it would’ve been better in the long run if Native Americans had just been fully rolled into America rather than keeping up the pretense of them being sovereign, yet utterly dependent, nations. I’m not saying that they should have force Anglicized them, but clearly shoving Native Americans…

Far Cry: Fallout or Far Cry: Blood Dragon prequel? Place your bets now folks!

Yeah, just tell me how many calories are in the whole package, and leave it up to me whether that’s meant for my consumption in one sitting or not. I’ve had some of my most successful weight loss when I’m being strict about my calorie counts.

He actually has said a few times that he’s not interested in coming back for guest spots because of how long the Worf makeup takes to apply.

There’s a simple solution to this, but it is one that will never be implemented: Journalists need to stop showing up to White House press briefings. They need to stop showing up to things Trump attends. They need to not reference his name once in any articles or news reports. They need to treat Trump exactly the same…

Indeed, god forbid that anyone look at a given issue and try to find the least worst way forward rather than lose and just allow the actual worst way to steamroll onward. Being right means little when you have zero power.

There’s nothing inherently about Biden that make him unable to beat Trump, other than pointing at him and saying “Look how terrible this guy is!” Everyone already knows that. They knew it in 2016. The people that voted for Trump consider it a feature, not a bug. The people that voted against Trump certainly don’t need…

Ah yes, the Hillary Clinton strategy of countering Trump. We saw how effective it was the last time.

Because they happen to agree with what the heavily populated states want and would be perfectly happy with every decision being made by simple majority so long as that holds true.

I mean, is that not the definition of an inside joke? In fairness, not everyone has to get the joke for it to be meant as a joke.

I did something similar once when I stumbled into an interaction with a Nordic Christian that I couldn’t just immediately peace out of. A religious terrorism class I had taken the semester prior made me already familiar with their thinking.

It got its start primarily in Special Forces units, SEALs, Delta Force, etc where the uniform standards are often times less strict. It has since proliferated outward and while some or even most would obviously be in violation of most departmental dress codes, it’s my impression that it’s not the kind of thing that’s…

I don’t disagree. There’s plenty of morale patches that are funny that don’t buy into conspiracy theory bullshit.

I agree completely. However, you’re assuming a lot based on how you, a presumably reasonable person, would want a SWAT guy to do things. Whereas the traits that likely make up a desirable SWAT guy are weapon handling skill, dedication to the mission without question, and the ability to go at a moment’s notice. None of…
