As a thought:

You can’t (and shouldn’t) change people’s sexual preferences. Just let it go and don’t hook up with people you aren’t interested in. If they end up lonely and alone that is their business.

If you want to re-introduce minstrel shows, then I should be mad at you for making a minstrel show and not mad because you didn’t make the minstrel show remove its racism. It would be worse if you made a modern minstrel show but tried to sanitize it by removing the racism. That is the double standard. If you think…

not being a straight man, I don’t want Conan to be altered to appeal to me anymore than I want my gay porn to be altered to appeal to a straight audience. Its ok to have target markets that aren’t for everyone.

I can totally buy the “its not appropriate” genre (assuming we want media to adhere to social norms, which is a different discussion). I am much more against white washing. Making a non-sexist Conan boardgame would be like making a boardgame about Nazi’s where you cut out the antisemitism. If the subject matter is…

As a thought: Maybe don’t play Conan then? I mean, I wouldn’t plop my Jewish friends down for a game of Panzerkommander either.

5 Things Obama set as precedent for Trump:

There is more and there is scope. Obama set precedent that the president can have an American citizen killed without trial based on suspicion that only needs to convince the president personally (or be a petty vendetta that the president lies about being legitimate suspicion). That is a terrifying power for Trump to…

There is the number of orders and the scope: Unilaterally assassinate american citizens without trial based on secret evidence that may as well just be a hunch and/or petty vendetta is a bigger use of executive power than most orders.

His hand wasn’t forced. The democrats didn’t win the house and senate, they don’t get to govern. Obama was elected to the executive not the legislative and so they weren’t obstructing him by not letting an executive position pass legislation. The president has a role, he won that role. Congress has a role, the…

They gave him the choice to do his job (not pass legislation, which is the legislative branches job). He decided that rather than work to get his party elected into the house and senate he would just rewrite the rules. He was a constitutional lawyer, he knew exactly the risk.

Or he could have not and accepted that while he won presidency his party did not win the house and senate and it is they who govern not him specifically to keep someone like Trump.

He’s worth between 2.9 and 6 billion. A company going bankrupt is not the same as a person going bankrupt. Whole industries exist to chop shop corporations and drive them to bankruptcy for profit.

Only if he didn’t spend any on his ridiculously lavish lifestyle, which is hideously expensive. He makes quite a fair chunk just to stay in gold toilets.

Ships from Cuba go to Vancouver, you can go through the Straight of Juan de Fuca on the Canadian side. Its marginally more expensive.

“They can’t use the west coast, and traveling up from the Gulf of Mexico to the eastern seaboard of Canada is going to be very, very expensive.”

As much as he is a shithole, I’d point out Hillary is advocating a hot war with a nuclear superpower. And I mean, really, the only reason she isn’t being locked up is because Trump is such a Nazi loon. She did break the law (and the idea that a former secretary of state and future president doesn’t understand what…

Well. They do. You really think someone buying a 150k minivan is thinking “Well, I was going to buy it, but not for 157.5k, that would be outrageous”. The tax rebate will only really come into play with the Model 3. Even without the Model 3 Tesla would be raking in profit. Its only losing cash because its…

Japan also occupied parts of the USSR/Russia (about half at one point). It is an imperial great power, full stop.

We already license cars, we do say “not everyone can drive one”. Part of the problem is we make those requirements far more lenient than they need to be for economic reasons.
