Having the sick impulse to call the cops, from the site of one of the worst flood disasters in American history, to report victims of that flood for looting a supermarket; but also: a crime

If you haven’t heard of them before Charlotteville then you haven’t been paying attention.

Dozens of anti-facists protesters, known as antifa, pounced when Joey Gibson, founder of the right-wing group Patriot Prayer, showed up with his crew. Antifa protesters beat one man with a shield and another person wearing an American flag.

Honestly, we really need to break up the parties. They have a stranglehold on the country, like two dueling cops, with Corporate America behind the two way mirror nodding approvingly.

Why the pivot?

Someone may have already pointed this out, but ABC got in trouble for the way it characterized the product.

“dissemination in any manner to the public of any information that the disseminator knows to be false and that states or implies that an agricultural food product is not safe for consumption by the public”

They irresponsibly reported on something in a way that intentionally turned the public against something that was never a problem and actually a net positive for society. Its bad journalism and they deserved to be punished for trying to use it for their benefit.

Our legal system is the worst one out there — if you ignore everything that came before it.

This is way off base and as an engineer who is obsessed with efficiency, Disney and ABC were definitely in the wrong and deserved to pay up.

Alright, let’s tackle this. Westeros (including Targs and Starks) is quite obviously ruled by male primogeniture. This means, that for the Targs (and the Starks), the line of succession goes through the monarch’s eldest son and his line.

This means that Aerys -> Rhaegar -> Jon. Dany only THINKS she’s the lawful…

a lord’s bastard (a prince’s, really, but Jon doesn’t know it yet)

Given the entirety of human warfare and history, the Middle Ages in Europe is quite recent, which is why I specified “until relatively recently”. Granted yes, this entire series is a Tolkeinised version of The War of the Roses and other decidedly Euro wars so your points about English warfare and protocol are more apt.

I was a D1 athlete in the MAC and trained at the Olympic Training Center - now that the athlete dick-swinging contest is out of the way: That works for you. Problem is we know it doesn’t work for most. Half a championship game isn’t shit.

I think the idea is that poor sportsmanship should disqualify them from competing any further. Which, I dunno, I’m probably OK with that. One thing the world could certainly do without is further generations of hyper-competitive jerks.

Can we have the “wypipo” references and the drinking of white tears at a minimum please?

The fact you think Wilt Chamberlain wouldn’t even to be able to play at the college leve, let alone the pros, is fucking ludicrous.

I know they don’t make them. Apparently I didn’t know they had so many films, I just see what they pickup and release on bluray when I see a review on hidefdigest. As far as your list goes, I have seen Citizen Cane (meh), Fear and Loathing (good), Life of Brian (I didn’t like it nearly as much as Holy Grail), Silence…

Let’s not limit this to just white men.

Here’s how we do this fairly: If you get bitten, or nipple twisted, or given the complimentary prostate exam, you let the hands fly. The refs stop the fight. Everybody looks at the inciting incident. If they find nothing you get a red card. If they find any other shenanigans they are carded and you are given a round…
