It means the assholes on one side do not justify the assholes on the other side.
Edit: I could be nuts but I could have sworn you had the word “kings” after “African” in the post I originally replied to. edit:edit: oops yes you did, you just posted later to someone else w/o that word. My mistake.

Without demand, there is no need for a supply.

I tried to get my BoB daughter to “get it” as well. Once her writing (we were IMing as we live in different states) acquired a tone of “about to go off the rails” (especially with Gatling Gun Talking Point Bullets) I changed the subject and showed her the most recent photos of the cats she grew up with. I’m not even…

Why is she still working for Daddy when he patted her on the ass at the Convention?

Come on, 2016, throw us a bone and don’t kill her.

That and executing him makes him a martyr to his fellow shitbags.

Mentioning mercury (which is a non-issue now) is an anti-vaxx dog whistle unless you’re saying that ethyl mercury (the form used in Thimerosal) was completely harmless to human biochemistry. Right there, that makes any pharmacist worth their salt her foe. Even though ethyl mercury is COMPLETELY HARMLESS TO HUMANS,…

The fact that she’s even mentioning mercury—which was a non-toxic chemical as ethyl mercury—to me is a dog whistle to the anti-vaxx crowd. Their dog whistles are a little more subtle to detect. You have to pretty much be a pharmacist or be close to one who knows this shit to detect it. (My dearly departed aunt was the…

Agreed. So many “weasel words” abound. The mention of mercury—even though she puts it in the past tense, the fact that it’s mentioned is a flag since in the present day it’s a non-issue. And as a doctor she should have known better about the mercury in Thimerosal—ethyl mercury passes out unchanged, it’s methyl mercury…

And if the definition of “water” changes? What if we decide something other than H2O is water?

So your argument here depends on semantics?

There is no amount of rationalization that H2O will ever be SiO2, or H2SO4, or CO2, or SF6. If the composition of water changes, it is no longer water. Water will cease to exist, it will not “be made of something else” because if it’s made of something else, *it’s not water*. It is a universal property of water that…

The word you’re looking for is “property” (a universally constant characteristic of a thing, such as pure water always boiling at 100C at one atmosphere of pressure).

Scientific laws are instruction manuals of scientific theories (which in turn explain why the laws work). For example: Newton’s Law of Universal…

Obviously someone has never heard of mutations or recessive genes.

Would we call it....”Bronn’s Solo Adventures”?


I’ll see myself out.

Again not to nitpick here, but some vaccines used to contain Thimerosal, a drug derived from ethylmercury and used as a preservative.

Not only that, but people were DYING from the unpreserved vaccinations.

I missed this. That’s just plain evil.

If you already have a computer-computer you can save about 60-90% of that price tag by purchasing a used Palm m500 (with a USB docking cable), a copy of WordSmith, and a portable folding Palm keyboard off of eBay. Very distraction-free, cheap, portable, and facile. When you want to edit what you write, just upload it…

I was not unhappy when Sylvia Browne died. I raised a beer to her enduring absence.

They’re not OK when they don’t even bother to protect the security of irrelevant people. You *did* hear the part where they failed to redact SSNs and credit card numbers of donors?

I don’t watch AHS or the promos, just came to say that the millipede in the top photo is amazingly pretty.
