I wish I could star this 1000 times. I wasn’t a trump supporter, but I found myself having to defend Trump and what will happen now that he is elected more than I care to. LGBT marriage isn’t going to repealed (honestly, Trump is pretty positive toward gay rights if you look at it historically. The idea that he is…

Seriously. I’m conservative in the classical sense (smaller government, no governmental infringement on personal liberty), but that’s no longer a thing. I’m basically a libertarian now because the GOP for the past decade has been overrun by the hardline Evangelical right. I’m hoping this spurs GOP reform. But to your…

Thank you. 538 had it 65% to 35% Clinton yesterday morning, but they also presented statistically plausible scenarios for trump. LATimes was literally the only poll that got it right. They had trump winning outside the margin of error for the past week or so

Blame Nate silver all you want, but he was one of the only statisticians that has trump roaring back in the final two weeks prior to the election. IIRC, 538 had Clinton at 65% and trump at 35% the night before the election, with statistical scenarios presented on how both candidates could win. NYTimes, HufPo, WaPo,…

Seriously. And apparently, in these commentator’s opinion, physical attractiveness and gender equality are mutually exclusive. Which is absurd. Because heaven forbid you think a girl is both hot and good at what she does without being a victim at every turn, and that she actually takes pride in her physical…

Yeah no problem. Honestly, these responses are verging on r/whiteknighting territory. It’s ridiculous. People screaming ad hominem attacks like it’s going out of style. Gawker 2.0 is alive here and now on Deadspin.

Seriously. This shit happens all the time between both men and women. The things I’ve heard from my gf’s sorority sisters are often worse than the “locker room banter.” Honestly, I sometimes think these commentators have never had an actual social interaction. Most everyone, male or female, has been a part of these…

You make many good arguments. It’s pointless to try and reason with most of these commentators. Honestly, any male/female between the ages of 16-23 with any social skills has likely been a part of this type of conversation, either actively or passively. Is having discussions based on someone’s physical appearance…

Do you have any good book recommendations? I've been looking for some on that era

While those aren’t the words I would use to describe it, Tony has been abnormally aggressive, and this is the second week in a row that Tony has wrecked someone for getting bumped during a racing incident. Newman made an aggressive move and had the line; there was no rational racing move that could justify stewart’s…

Please tell me what the PS4 Pro does better than the One S. I’ll wait. I own neither, but I’m purchasing one soon. I own a high end 4K tv. I can’t see any logical reason to buy a Pro over a One S other than game selection (which would be done regardless of a new console). The PS4 pro, what, upscales 4K slightly better…

Or the guy that wants a game console plus a 4K UHD blu-Ray player. I don’t understand the PS4 fanboy-ism on this. The One S is the better console (games aside, as a consumer will decide on console if they are basing it solely on games). The PS4 does what better than the One S? Upscales 4K slightly better for the same…

I also have a 4K tv and use a roku 4. My tv (Samsung KS8000) doesn’t do apps all that well, so it's not out of the realm of possibility that someone may purchase a console for gaming and streaming

Just purchased a (rather expensive) 4K tv. Frankly, all this does is push me toward the Xbox One S. Both consoles do roughly the same thing as far as 4K gaming is concerned (up conversion) and the One S has a UHD blu-Ray player. I'm not a major gaming guy anymore, so Scorpio would be a waste of money for me. So Xbox…

What? I’ll agree with you that I think Tesla’s stock is overvalued, but that’s about as far as the agreement is concerned.

I’m not sure what my race has to do with your argument, seeing as you have fallen into the anecdotal fallacy, which is backed by neither facts nor statistics. In fact, you have merely proven my point by making broad assertions about a certain group (white males) without actually having any data or reference to support…

I wish I could star this x1000. What you said is spot on. Emotional reasoning has somehow usurped logical reasoning in nearly all political issue discussion and debate while facts and statistics are ignored and discarded. Or attacked with ad hominems. People of both political sides jump on the bandwagon of an issue…

You may think it’s pedantic, but it is factual. Ignoring facts and statistics is what had led to emotional reasoning usurping logical reasoning as the primary factor of debate and discourse in our current society. People climb onto a bandwagon without fully considering his/her position on the matter, retreat to their…

You are more concerned with the inverters overheating than the motors. But yes, it is a concern.

I am so tired of GM trying to “revive” the Cadillac brand while, at the same time, doing things like this. A rebadged Cruze fits exactly what segment? C-Class? 1/2 Series? Even supposing it does fit into a segment, who wants to buy a Chevy Cruze +$15k? This, along with the EV/hybrid article earlier today, just shows…
