Mom and pop shops are far worse than chains, which at least have have procedures in place to protect against contamination (whether individual locations actually follow them is another matter).

I probably should do the same, but I occasionally come across one I actually like.

That’s impressive, DEEZ NUTZ never managed to top 81.

I believe it’s actually in Doody-ronomy.

Someone else posted it in this very thread earlier. Congratulations on catching me not going back through your countless stupid posts to confirm that it was in fact you. Clearly you win this argument on sheer technicality.

Saw you post that earlier. It’s not the commonly accepted definition of terrorism, and as a lawyer I find the definition to be so vague that it’s nearly meaningless. Ramdom assault that leads to hospitalization? That’s arguably causing great bodily harm to the general population, and an overzealous prosecutor could…

Terrorism has a definition. You’re ignoring it because it gives you fodder when you’re on your little soap box. It’s a sad little soap box for a sad little moron, but hey, enjoy your time on it, BRO.

IPA is the second worst beer style, after sours. Thanks for recommending six crappy styles that are overly represented on the market.

Holy shit, pull your head out of your ass and stop cramming everything that happens into your preferred narrative. God people like you fucking suck.

If we didn’t get gun control after Sandy Hook, with Obama in charge, then it ain’t happening.

This made me laugh. Though I don’t think he has dementia, I just think he is and always has been kinda a dope.

Holy shit, how many times are you going to post this? We get your point. It’s a stupid point not supported by facts or logic, but we get it.

This is a fair point. For the record, I think Roof committed terrorism. This feels like something else, and in any event we don’t know that it’s terrorism (yet, anyways).

“I was wrong, but instead of admitting it I’ll just tell everyone calling me out on it to fuck off.”

Terrorism is hard to define, but it’s generally agreed that it’s the use of violence to further POLITICAL goals. Obviously what happened in Las Vegas was extreme violence, but there does not appear to be any political agenda underlying it.

OK, this made me laugh.

I don’t completely agree with what you wrote, though I agree more than I disagree, and I greatly enjoyed reading it. It bugs me too that Scott declared Deckard a replicant well after the fact, as part of the beauty of the movie is that we’re never really sure one way or the other.

Well, no one celebrates Picasso for his early works. If technical mastery is your definition of what makes a great artist, I would argue that you have a very narrow definition of what art is. Which is strange for an artist...

Wait, you want to argue that Picasso had no talent? That...that is a bridge too far, my friend.

Have you read any of his other stories? I’d argue he’s a decent writer, not a bad one, though I agree Androids is particularly poorly written among his works. But I thought Ubik was great, and the ending was a brilliant mind fuck. The Golden Man was a great short story (that they ironically turned into a shit…
