All mass shootings end one of two ways: The shooter is engaged by someone(s) else with equal or superior firepower, or they run out of ammo/functional weapons. Even if you passed whatever cockamaimy “sensible gun control” you think is necessary, it would not be a magic bullet (pun intended) that would end mass

And they all have collectively decided to keep it secret for what, the last 70 years?

I firmly believe that there must be living beings somewhere else in the universe, but have they visited us? I kind of doubt it. And if they had in the past, are they still visiting us now? I doubt that even more. We now live in a world where all of us have cameras connected to the internet, and how many UFO sightings

One has to wonder if the other “writers” at Splinter feel any sense of inadequacy or shame when Mr. Ramos publishes a new article. My guess is no because that would require a level of self-awareness that there is little indication any of them actually possess.

Nice bait, Tomato.

Did Bernie actually sexually harass anyone? Was he informed of it while the campaign was ongoing and ignored it? Survey says: No!

That’s exactly what they want though. They just think they’ll all be the loyal party members and not the peasants that get exterminated.

A puzzle is one thing, but having to be a goddamn cryptographer is another. This isn’t Bletchley Park.

And yet my retiring white CIO is being replaced by a successful Pakistani immigrant. So...

I mean, my company pays out on my unused sick time at the end of the year, so if I can help it, I’d rather get an extra week’s pay in December. I’d rather burn a vacation or personal day first.

Lol, thanks for proving my point. Buying every person in deep poverty groceries for a week would help them for that week. Then they’d be right back where they were. On the scale we’re talking about, both the scale of poverty and the scale of extreme wealth, $500 million is quite literally, pocket change. There are

That first point, at least, seems to be heavily debated.

Where did I say that we should forget about our poor? I literally said that in light of global poverty, which by the way has been halved over the last century, complaining about a few hundred million in regards to a problem that would literally cost trillions of dollars to solve is so mind-numbingly unimportant that

Even with your generous $500 million sale price, that is but a miniscule drop in the bucket in terms of global inequality. How, you may ask? Because for all the inequality we see in front of us in the US, the difference between the poorest person in the US, and a poor person in Africa, South America, or Southeast Asia

Oh, yeah I don’t really blame Ramos for the weird typographical artifacts, though I am surprised nobody has bothered to fix them yet. Well... ok not that surprised, this is still Splinter. That aside, it’s still a well written piece and doesn’t have the glaring spelling/grammatical errors normally found in a Splinter

Yeah she says a lot of shit that isn’t true, so I’ll take that with the biggest grain of salt ever.

Peter Thiel is waiting for Univision to drop the price, I’m sure. Why pay more for something than you have to?

After getting dragged so incredibly hard by The Root, you can bet that was a calculated move on his part. Perhaps one of the few times he actually gave any thought to what he was writing.

Of course he’s being sarcastic, when’s the last time you saw Hamilton do anything approaching actual research or real journalism, for that matter?

What’s funny is the people who do “read past the 2nd Amendment” as you put it, often stop before the 9th and 10th Amendments because it’s politically inconvenient to say that powers not specified are left to the states and the citizenry and not the domain of the Federal government.
