This is where toxic masculinity or “that alpha male shit” is a problem. It’s also something I never understood growing up. It’s also cyclical.

All of these checkmarks don’t really do anything to help anyone. What they do is mask insecurity with desperate grasps. A guy feeling undesirable might act out, and that’s…

One of the sports forums that I’m on has a very predictable trio - the sort that invariably follow suit whenever their evangelical right makes a move.

So even if the Irving PD, Gov. Abbott, and really everyone that matters has admitted or said, “the PD and school dun goof’d”, this hilarious trio refuses to think that…

Norway is an interesting country. I’ve got a close friend that’s what I’d call...7/10 on the conservative scale (socially liberal, very conservative about economic issues, same on environmental ones, same for international policy, short of immigration). Her husband is a Norwegian conservative, which translates to…

There was a point when the GOP’s main line was about spending less, cash for defense and new tech during the Cold War, and only marginally hating gay people, colored people, and illegal immigrants.

Now it’s just about hating gay people, colored people, illegal immigrants, and non-Christians. Oh, and science they seem…

“But muh freedom to pollute and make money at the cost of living someplace I want to actually live in 30 years!”

[basically]

“I’m all for freedom.” = “State’s rights.” = “Who cares if it’s hateful or harmful.”

People who hate progress, scientific or otherwise? I would say so.

Facts? History? No, never!

If you ever wonder how some saw the GOP debates, here’s a quote from the ever-reasonable Norwegians:

Based on how she feels about that religion, you’re probably right. Which then makes her a pretty awful person.

Totally right about that. But...considering the city mayor, considering the way some members of law enforcement work...:/

No shock, people are defending the school, mayor, and PD.

What kills me is that if this was a bomb, then the “beeping” would likely mean the bomb would go off, killing people in the classroom. Thing is, the engineering teacher saw it as a clock, and told Mohamed that it’s best no one sees it.

If it was a bomb and it…

Even if school procedures call for a student to be arrested, an interrogation without representation or guardians of a minor present is illegal. Furthermore, focusing on his last name and trying to press him like he’s a terrorist is horrible.

I also have to wonder - if they’re sitting around a “bomb,” why wasn’t the…

If you watch an NFL game replay through say, ESPN360 where sometimes there’s no commercial run during the game’s TV timeout, you’ll notice just how much time gets blown on commercials. The sudden silence that happens about every 10 minutes is loud and obvious.

When rich people ask, “why don’t normal people like us?” Well, when your wealthy brethren do shit like this, it’s not hard to imagine why.

I had friends like that in college. They were like me, raised in a religious family. I got lucky and questioned it and made my parting with at least the organized part of religion.

These other guys, they did it because they were raised that way. They questioned their faith, and some stuck with it, some parted ways. I’m…

It’s a smart move, but Sanders actually seems like this is something he wants to do because he believes in it. It’s weird, I actually see a presidential candidate that’s in it because well, he really loves the work. Most of the candidates in the last 3 races wanted the job for their own gain.

Looking over his history,…

Hell, he appeals to many lefty voters in a way Clinton doesn’t. Mainly because...well, he’s not Hilary Clinton.

It just seems “cheap” to me. Like the team couldn’t go and correct around it in post-prod. It also really kills immersion since the human eye and brain don’t distort and relay information that way.

I love the concept. I can’t get over the fact that human vision doesn’t have that kind of fish-eye distortion to it.
