The ACA is, at its core, a massive give-away to health insurance companies, in that the ACA sets the boundaries of the healthcare conversation such that anyone who wants care must situate themselves within those boundaries, and those boundaries are determined by private companies.

This really isn’t necessary.

I’ve been a professor of Literature for twelve years, and a student of it for far longer than that.

Lovecraft was a racist, and a xenophobe, and a few other truly awful things.

Poe had a serious drug habit, and there’s some serious question about just who “Lenore” was (in terms of Poe being…

Gotta wait a bit. It’s on the decline due to Generation X and Millennials rejecting religion. Both are outnumbered by Boomers and their parents, but once they die off, Christianity will basically be a very small minority worldwide. It’s why the GOP is trying to destroy lots of education programs, because if they get…

Australia has mandatory voting, so most adults are used to voting regularly

Edit: In reading my reply back (after I’d already hit “publish”) I realized that in trying to call out your part-for-whole fallacy thinking, I was coming off like the sort of person I want absolutely nothing to do with—and that made me feel ill.

The bottom line is that you are correct, up to a point. Many men have…

Totally on the truck though. Can’t just assume a car behind you is going to back up because you’ve decided you want to back into a driveway. The car, driverless or not, was under no obligation to back up. The truck, if he didn’t have enough room, shouldn’t attempt to back up. It’s completely on the truck driver.

Maybe, but I think it is obvious it is time to talk about self driving trucks. If it had been an autonomous truck then this wouldn’t have happened.

Driver of truck thinks “ah, fuck it. They’ll make room for me” and crashes because they tried to intimidate a machine. Truckers need to learn how to drive, or they will be out of work a lot quicker than they think they will.

Exactly this.

That’s because it’s a lot like New York State, I believe... The People’s Liberal Democratic Land Parcel of Seattle and The Rest of Washington State...

I just wish she was given a little more to work with on the show. It seemed like she was just there to have emotional breakdowns and date terrible men for a lot of the seasons but damn did she improve my cursing vocabulary. She was the most engaging person on Dexter by far.

So... no boat?

Yes, you are. You can disagree violently and debate violently, but you can’t physically attack people.

The best space show on tv is still The Expanse follow by Orville, Killjoy and far far behind all three is Star Trek discovery.

I don’t get the hatred for last week’s episode either. Except for Lamarr acting like such a dick and humping the statue, the rest of it was played rather straight. The concept of social media enabling the substituting of law for mob rule was the right amount of thought provoking without hitting us over the head with…

I just want them to take the violence seriously, or tone it down. We’ve had a guy torn apart by a mob, cooking a whole ship of people to a crisp, torture, lobotomy. No one even seems to care for more than a moment.

They’re salty about Seth McFarlane because he did some jokes that offended them on Family Guy. Specifically one about a transgender person who gets a sex change and has sex with Brian without disclosing that he is genetically a male. Brian finds out and is so horrified that he vomits for about 30 seconds straight.

It’s weird how hard you guys are on this show... Up until last week it’s actually been pretty solid. It could fix a few things, but MacFarlane has been surprisingly reserved, which is nice. There’s decent story lines, and solid humor. It’s not the greatest thing you’ll see. It’s far from the worst, and it deserves a…
