In the hyper-capitalistic system that she craves, more “individual freedom” means you can do anything you want if you can pay for it. I do not think this type of freedom is going to break down the walls between wealthy and poor school children. Which is the point, of course.

Move your mouse over the kinja handle and the link to their page will appear (like with Twitter where one’s handle can be anything but one’s account name is unchangeable). This dude’s misspelled. I noticed some asshole doing the same thing a couple of days ago with Dr. Emilio Lizzaro on a gun control thread. It’s…

Yeah, somewhat because of how much offense some people take to being called racist or sexist (usually the larger the offense taken, the closer to the nerve it strikes) many people treat that as being pregnant; that you either are or are not sexist. It’s much more of a gradient and ignoring one’s own sexist or racism…

A good question to ask him is how he feels about Bernie. That will tell you a lot.

I was just about to ask the same question. She’s been lumped in with Reps. Omar and Tlaib by way more people than I was expecting as “silly, inexperienced, flaky, non-serious, crazy, extreme, etc.” without any substantive evidence. I’m sure there are (and if not yet will be soon) more in-depth explorations of the…

Cool is not the word I would use to describe Zdeno Chára smiling. Ominous? Terrifying? A harbinger of eminent doom? Those work better.

I would have gone Toots on him.

Jacob Riis just unintentionally described my last “one more shot sounds good” blackout.

The only reason not to root for the Sharks if you’re an otherwise uninvested is that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team that has benefited from so many shitty calls in a playoff run before. If he wasn’t ancient, I’d say that Thorton is skating so awkwardly due to the lucky horseshoe he’s hidden up his keister.

To preface, this is coming straight from a Constitutional and contract lawyer which I’m 99% sure you (like most Libertarians) are not. So no, that is not the way that American law operates. Let’s leave aside for a moment the most glaringly obvious flaw in this assumption, the Bill of Rights (which exists because…

Sort of. This is a secondhand take so bear with me but my wife who studied Constitutional Law and clerked in Gainesville (but now does contract law) was worried that Roe v Wade is extremely vulnerable to being over-turned as the 14th amendment is uniquely susceptible to interpretation.

I hope so because if he doesn’t, nobody does.

A very big problem here is that there is a not insignificant section of the general population that likes hierarchical rule, whether it be a monarchy, a dictatorship or whatever. In a Capitalistic Democracy like the US, these people will look towards the rich as their natural rulers in the same way feudal peasants…

I mean, you’re right and all but I just don’t want to star a post this depressing.

Do you think he and Max Contrarian would fuck or fight if they ever had to make the classic “trapped in a room with your clone” dilemma?

Oh man, it’s only been 30 minutes and the greys are NOT on board with this. Be careful down there, there are a lotta angry people milling about.

Jesus, right? I thought I was insane for looking at the fastest 100mm time ever and truthering it like “oh did someone fall asleep in the blocks last night?”

When asked to respond about how under attack they were, Boston College, Fairfield, Notre Dame etc. said “dafuq you talking about? Try educating your students rather than preaching to them.”

Happy Mother’s Day! I’ll be right down, gotta pwn the libs real quick.

I fucking love this “I only hit you because you make me so angry sometimes, baby!” complete lack of accountability bullshit. Instead of being angry at the big meanies who pointed out that you’re fucking idiots for voting for someone who is fucking you over, how’s about, oh I don’t know, GETTING FUCKING ANGRY AT THE…
