Yeah, this is a school administration that, best case, is too cowardly and insular to let common sense get in the way of a poorly-written internal rule. Worst case the administration is aggressively racist. And reality is probably a fine blend. Their lawyer’s gotta be working a whole lotta hours right about now.

Licensing is stricter, traffic laws are stricter, and the culture is simply more orderly. That last one is obviously a subjective generalization, and I will not try to argue that every single German is more prone to following rules and cultural norms than every single American but... try jaywalking in an American…

That’s actually the playbook. Step three is “Rely on the fact that the country is full of partisan idiots.”

I’m not sure, and based on their comments I’m not sure they’re sure, but it basically looks like someone’s more or less trying to throw together an ad hoc commenter-driven Splinter replacement. The folks popping up in the comments are encouraging, in that they’re generally folks I enjoy reading.

Yeah, having no exposure to the books or the previous games before my first W3 playthrough, I was in the dark about the relationships, beyond a bit of light reading I’d one (primers on lore here and elsewhere). In some cases, I was trying to be more helpful than liberating, and in others, I really didn’t expect my…

Well, of course! The guy who was mercilessly raping children and threatening to destroy the careers of anyone who got in his way was white a clean cut throwback to days of old!  

Gah, this is disappointing, but probably inevitable. I’ll miss the comments of quite a few people in this thread, perhaps yours most of all. But this place shutting down will mean I’ll read less news and therefore spend a little less time having rage strokes on a daily basis, so I suppose that’s a good thing. I want…

I don’t remember those TRUE allies standing with us when we defeated the British and won our independence, so what good are they really?

“It’s so pathetic how weak these other people are when confronted. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to abandon some of our critical allies to be slaughtered because a man was mean to me on the phone.”

Public support for impeachment after just two weeks is at levels it took five months to reach for Nixon’s impeachment. And Nixon didn’t have the Faux propaganda wing propping him up. I’m not going to start cheering until this motherfucker is dead and buried, but the last few days have looked very positive.

Nah. Assassination lets him off the hook too easily, and elevates him to martyr status. We’d have deep state conspiracy theories for two generations that’d make JFK look like Sesame Street.

A list of positions the American right has taken in the last few decades that isn’t dripping with hypocrisy or built upon double standards:

in my great and unmatched wisdom

Also turns out that nobody in this entire Trump circle has any right to say SHIT about Hunter Biden.

I hate that my first thought upon watching the president’s lawyer make a complete jabbering ass of himself on national television is, “huh, that wasn’t as crazy as I was expecting.

Yeah, if I see a MAGA hat/shirt/bumper sticker, at best I know the person’s a confrontational antisocial asshole. Nobody pimps their Trump support who isn’t at least a little looking to pick a pointless fight over nothing.

I’m mildly confused every time I see a new Infiniti on the road. They just exist in a weird place, and it seems like no matter what your preferences or priorities are, there’s a better option out there. Most of their models are built on incredibly old designs and technology, the build quality just isn’t what it used…

Seriously. And yet: the comment you’re referring to is the very first featured comment, in spite of it being an obvious troll with two likes and a handful of replies. Which speaks volumes about how this place is being run and moderated now.

Hmm. Maybe I should read comments before I post my own redundant ramblings.

I mean, this is an asshole who posts the results of polls from Breitbart.
