Your argument is both intellectually dishonest and moving the goal posts. Making an exception for an emergency, especially for a kid, is something I don’t think you’ll find much disagreement with and is most certainly not the central tenet of the article you wrote or the ensuing discussion. 

That wasn’t your position. Your position was “go to whichever lav you choose, whenever you want.” Even though—through either paying more or traveling frequently—the people in first class paid more to have a less crowded lav.

De-escalate violent rhetoric. Emphasize shared values with people who disagree with you.  

Hey look at that. He managed to do it without screwing over the fans that were already paying and supporting the game and then pulling the rug from under them(ooblets), he didn’t resort to calling the people supporting his game a bunch of petty labels(ooblets), and then didn’t tell his fans who can’t even pay for…

This is the old man I strive to become.  Has empathy, but not without enjoying the absurdity of life. Also I would like to own a hat

No, that’s a bitch move.  

That’s not the point here. Colin said repeatedly that he doesn’t believe he’s owed a platform, and that he’s happy to stay away from where he’s not welcome. The problem is that they gave him a panel, very clearly told him it was okay to advertise to his fans that he’d be there, and then took it away AFTER him and a…

Chris is a liberal and the podcast is apolitical. This article seems so misinformed. Calling  Chris a conservative talking head is insane.

She’s intentionally mixing apples and oranges. She is using the success and popularity of the women’s national team to argue that a women’s professional league should be given more money. This, of course, completely ignores the fact that the women’s national team is not designed as a business. For whatever reason she…

Counterpoint: NDT has taught me many things, and Jack Crosbie has not enriched my life in literally any conceivable way.

This isn’t even far-left. It’s Teenage Anarchist Hanging Out In Hot Topic Until Their Mom Comes To Pick Them Up-level politics.

I mean, I’m pretty sure Cooper would give back his interitance if it meant his father didn’t die young, his brother didn’t jump off the balcony in front of his mother, his half-brothers weren’t estranged and, now that his mother is dead, he’s basically got no family left.

As a therapist, I say no. Anger is justified. It’s a valid emotion, just like the emotions this poor streamer felt.

Indeed, a tiny notice on your phone to please be quiet is horrifying.  I don’t understand how these people can muster the willpower to keep going without driving their car off a cliff.

“Hold my Baguette”

Surely he’s big enough, and been featured on here enough that we stop referring to him in headlines as, “man”?

This is not meant to be condescending, but I feel like in 2019, people should really be all gaming on SSDs, whether on a console or a PC. You can buy a 250-500 internal SSD with an enclosure for around $70 or less these days (and that’s without a sale), or $25-$40 more for a commercial external SSD. That price seems…

There is no budget shown for it, you can’t just say “well we spent money on other things”.

This story was proven to be fake, Phillips approached the students not the other way around, and it was a group of African Americans screaming racist things at the students. I’ve watched a bunch of videos of the event and the students never said or did anything remotely racist or wrong, they were just doing school…

I agree with the lesser sentence - not because I particularly have sympathy for car thieves, but because if would-be thieves who accidentally find themselves in this situation know that they won’t be penalized for taking the baby, I’d think they’d be more likely to do what this guy did. If they know that they’ll get…
