No. The questionable election of Trump was caused in large part due to low voter turnout. The cause of low voter turnout? Disenfranchisement, voter ID laws, the arrest or prevention of voter registration drives, etc, etc.

Years and years of shit like this is exactly why so few people turned out to vote, and why Trump…

I didn’t say a thing about agreeing with you. Nice job on the hyperbole, though. You asked how it was racist, I laid out some of the many ways it was.

If getting an ID was free, quick, and easy, for every citizen with no exceptions, I wouldn’t see an issue with voter ID laws. But that’s not the case, so I do.

There’s…

For all the huzzah about #NotAllCops, I’ve yet to see a situation where one officer is beating a civilian, and another officer put a boot in his face and arrest the offending officer. Or pull them off. Amazing how no good cops seem to be anywhere nearby when bad cops beat and abuse suspects.

Seems the other officers…

That gentleman did a fantastic job communicating his statement clearly and deliberately and keeping a measured tone. I’d have stumbled a few times myself. Bravo.

Oh look. Yet another person who doesn’t realize systemic racism requires a power dynamic.

No one would bat an eye, Sunny, because white people aren’t, and have never been, oppressed in this country. Always in power, always in control, and with unearned wealth inherited from systems built explicitly to benefit us at…

Demanding ID alone wouldn’t be a problem—if the areas which are disproportionately black didn’t also shut down DMV offices, severely restrict hours (to the tune of a few days a month), if IDs were free, if getting supporting documentation were free, if voter purges based on loose name similarities didn’t expunge tens…

Funny. Civic engagement, political awareness, and a desire to improve the world around you sound like exemplary Boy Scout qualities to me. Subservience, cognitive dissonance, and obedience, less so.

Stop it, you’re making me homesick!

If “making clothes that fit normal people” was a requirement of fashion, shopping wouldn’t suck so damned much. 18/35 button-up shirts that fit my 54" chest, but the arms so skinny I can’t fit my hands into, J.Ferrar? Make clothes for humans, not Vogons.

That said, Gunn pissed off is still almost unbelievably posh and…

I’ll believe it when I see it. IndieRoyale/Desura got purchased by OnePlay a year ago, and they still don’t even have a functional website. Glad I kept all the Steam codes in a spreadsheet, but I owned a lot of non-steam games I’d not downloaded yet.

It might not be unusual, but it’s still impressive and something most people couldn’t pull off.

How dare we make that woman stay in the box she built herself and shut herself into of her own volition! Aren’t we so mean?!

Um, how about no.

I know four people who went to protest the pipelines. I contributed money and materials to the protest. I wrote letters to my Congresspersons and Obama, and lo and behold the pipeline was halted (after too long of a delay, but still). Clinton was at least amenable to changing her stance under…

I never said South Koreans were “stupid”, I said many Americans are.

But having a flag, a flag that’s still in use, the symbol of another country, being called a “symbol of slaughter and racism”... I can understand sentiments about a flag in the case of the American Confederate flags, given that the American Civil War…

“...and you would still have followed her.”.

Holy shit, they paid that cave troll money? How in the fuck...

I remember reading this story when it happened. I remember it being total bullshit. I remember being happy the gentleman won his case. But holy fucking shit, the city paid out to the fucking cop too?

I can. Early 20's is a fucking adult, not a drooling toddler. “I was young” is an excuse when you’re twelve, when you’re sixteen. If you’re mid-20s and still gambling on other people’s lives, voting for dead fucking gorillas, you’re not “very young”, you’re a self-centered prick.

By all means vote third party—in your CITY, in your STATE, in the CONGRESS. There are thousands upon thousands of positions, and it’s much more likely to get steady gains, build up viability and variability, and to erode the two-party stalemate.

Dear Mark Chase:

“Mistakes” made as a “young child” should not have lifelong consequences. But this wasn’t a “mistake”, and these are not “young child(ren)“. This was attempted murder, terrorism, and a hate crime, committed by young adults, and you should fucking treat it like it’s more serious than a stolen piece of…

And as a bonus, sand on the ocean beaches comes from parrotfish gnawing on coral and pooping out up to 2 lbs sand/day. Corals are experiencing worldwide die-off, and some have reduced their size by 60% in the past 25 years. So less sand is being produced.

Also, we only have a certain amount of Helium on the planet, and…
