For whatever it’s worth, this thread goes into that a bit (although it’s not the focus). Whatever Roberts’ thought process might have been, it is definitely correct to say that if he had not been in the majority, RBG would have assigned the writing to a member of her choosing.

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Then may I respectfully suggest listening rather than coming in with the Well Actuallys.

Sure it is.  The free-marketers always say that companies behaving badly will be punished in the marketplace and change their behavior accordingly.  This is that; turns out it affects consumers as well.

Pretty sure I said this in the comments on an earlier entry, but MU definitely had a fantastic closing song:

That’s the free market approach most often espoused by those people, so shouldn’t they be perfectly happy to go along with it?

The card number was coincidence.  The hood absolutely was not, and you can Google the artist’s name to find out how we know that.

It’s bad only because it means you didn’t watch “The Good Place,” and you should.  

And heck, during the period where Helen was out of commission, Violet kind of took the reins.  

Piper was pretty fantastic.

Agreed - I remember thinking at the time that Disney had made a Pixar movie and Pixar had made a Disney movie, and they both did pretty well there.

“Several officers attempted to organize a “blue flu,” or mass move for officers to call in sick,”

oh no stop don’t do it 

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Maybe, but once I had a couple of 2- to- 4-year-olds myself, I got it completely, and they nailed it.  Little kids destroy the absolute living shit out of their toys, even the ones they have and love at home.

Yeah, I’ve loved Pixar movies pretty much top to bottom (haven’t seen Cars 2 or 3, though) since Toy Story, and I am pretty sure the incinerator scene is the first and only time they’ve actually made me whisper “holy shit” to myself.  That moment where they give up and resign themselves to face death together truly…

Uh, read that again.

One of Ross’s fatalities has to call in all the other Friends for a savage group beatdown of the defeated opponent.

Ooh, I like that. Especially since I’m very slowly rewatching those movies right now and am reminded how good they were and what a great character he was.

That’s an entirely different argument regardless, and I agree that there’s always a significant chance that they let them walk, unjustly, and causing things to (rightfully) explode further. It’s still in no way whatsoever an ex post facto law like you’re trying to say. Period!

That’s utterly different in every possible way. If the city/state/whatever now enacted a law creating a specific criminal penalty for putting a knee onto another person’s neck and tried to make that law retroactive, you’d be right, but that is not at all involved here.
