Basically you’re arguing that Twitter and Facebook shouldn’t be considered corporations, but rather, an extension of public services. You’re model makes no sense because back in the day, Facebook and Twitter would be analogous to a super rich person with lots of property letting people come onto their property to talk…

So you believe that private institutions like Facebook and Twitter should be considered “public spaces”? Sounds like a pretty socialist ideal, making private industry a public service. Should we make regulations against private institutions practicing their right to discretion of service?

It would be interesting to see how easy/expensive it would be to replace those solenoids. If they’re relatively inexpensive and easily accessible it might not be a bad tradeoff.

Just look at the fucking author’s incredibly punchable face. He just looks like that asshole you know that’s always blowing smoke up your ass.

I can’t wait to hear this excuse from the next crowd-hunting Mustang driver after a Cars and Coffee accident.

This is exactly the kind of diagram I was looking for. Thank you for sharing it. That’s some impressive versatility for a single plane.

Just curious, how does the OV-10 carry/drop 4 paratroopers? I’m having a hard time comprehending where they fit/jump out of just based on the pictures I’ve seen.

So how long until our local police departments start receiving all of these surplus predator drones?

Looking back I can see that what I wrote sounds like I was just trying to shift blame away from non-evangelical white people in general. I’m sorry for making the point in that way. That wasn’t my intention. The data clearly shows that, regardless of religion, white people are the only group that has a positive view…

I have an S70 without the 6 CD changer, but whenever I corner or accelerate the dash computer will flash a “No discs” message about the changer. I wonder if it’s related.

Just gonna leave this here because it seems relevant:

Well, there is one option for a healthcare replacement that would likely save us money and give everyone equal access. It’s called universal healthcare.

My favorite excuse was “Well God used Solomon to lead the Israelites even though he was a terrible person”, at which point they just completely ignore the fact that that logic could apply to literally any candidate.

I grew up a white evangelical and I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees this. I shed my faith for a number of reasons, but I can’t help but feel like the attitudes of those around me were a huge part of why I couldn’t stand it anymore. Honestly, there’s so much good, positive stuff in the Bible, stuff that I think…

The be even more specific, it’s white evangelicals. They don’t break down these approval ratings into specific religious categories, but, if you look at the exit polling from the election, it was white evangelicals that supported Trump at the highest rate. 83% of white evangelicals voted for him, which is a higher…

I’ve watched many police chases here in LA (as one does) and I saw one that ended with the suspect being pulled over by an undercover Dodge Caravan.

I think you’re misunderstanding hormone therapy. The goal of hormone therapy just to give someone who lacks the natural testosterone glands of a male (balls) a sufficient level of testosterone to mimic the hormonal makeup of a male, and thus mimic some of the features we associate with men. The testosterone in this…

Good read. Thanks for the info. And it makes sense given that subprime mortgages were still just a fraction of all loans, even though that fraction had been growing. But didn’t the subprime issue lead to the initial bubble burst that then cost others with prime mortgages their houses through the rippling effects of…

Right, and I do agree with that to a point. I guess my point is more that the customer’s stupidity is mostly irrelevant to solving the problem because the solution can’t depend on the public becoming smarter, it has to start with the institutions not giving the customers the chance to be stupid, or, at the very least,…

The problem with blaming the people is that no matter what you tell people or how much you want them to make educated decisions, there will always be people stupid and shortsighted enough to sign anything when offered something as valuable as a car or a house as a reward for their signature and their stupidity. The…
