They still discriminate against atheists, though.

The Girls Scouts is generally considered fairly progressive nowadays.

As a former scout and a father of girls, I couldn’t care less nor would I let my girls near the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts has been a bigoted organization for a long time and still officially discriminates even after this; that aside, the Boy Scouts is conditioning for a long of right wing drivel. The Girl Scouts are…

This seems like it should be the 2020 Pence slogan regarding his candidacy.

That seems strange; dwarven cleric is one of the most archetype-y combos there are.

Neat read. Here’s my MUTCD sitting on my desk:

I can appreciate what you are saying, but for me optimization is part of the enjoyment. I enjoy maximizing the function of my farm, as well as my character; it wasn’t stressful for me and didn’t apply to much with how I socialized my character or how I advanced the plot points. It would be stressful for me if I felt…

I strove for efficiency, but also enjoyed my gameplay, running it longer than the ‘target’ endgame. I did most of the things available and after I finished I haven’t really felt the need to play it again.

Agreed. There isn’t anything that Trump is pursuing or could potentially pursue that the GOP won’t get out of a President Pence, if not more/worse. Pence is a dominionist, which means that he believes in installing his particular brand of evangelism as a state religion, which is terrifying in and of itself, but just…

iMODOK, don’t you understand that the real point here is to relish in vindication for the side you picked, not to do anything about gun control specifically? The important thing is that my team won, so the only thing that matters is shoving their face in the mud.

Ghandi was also extremely racist, so there’s that.

Hey, now. This isn’t the place for a nuanced understanding of the past, as well as acknowledging the complexity of people; this is the Internet. The only thing here that matters is how rabidly you advocate your position.

Yeah, but then you would have to watch Seinfeld, ugh.

I would normally agree with you, but the critical need to be able to block any more Trump SCOTUS appointments overrides everything else.

Sure, but I think that you are assuming the nature of her post while I was talking in more general terms; all we know here is her (second-hand) assertion that, ‘she nearly lost her job talking about Trump.’ It could easily be the case that her employer disciplined her over making posts to the effect of, ‘Trump’s going…

Even there, it really isn’t. To be fair, this is an area of Free Speech that the courts really haven’t explored in too much detail, so it could certainly shake out differently, but the normative thinking on this subject so far is that social media is no different than the public square. It is settled law that if you,…

I was thinking the other day that the Citadel is interesting from the perspective that when Rick and Morty are normalized, especially Rick’s intellect, the result we see is the same social stratification as in our society. It seemed to be a nod to the concept of market forces and other social science theories,…

I think that the show is simply setting up the expectation that we will find out that there is something special about our Rick in regards to his caring/sacrifice for Beth so that it can knock that down with the overriding message of the show, i.e. philosophical nihilism.

To be fair, the Republicans fought Obamacare tooth and nail primarily because it had a black man’s name on it.

I LOL’d.
