She’s not the fucking president and she hasn’t had all of the tools at her disposal that, say, the Biden administration has. Fuck outta here with that “don’t complain unless you have solutions” bullshit.

The question is, what is going on/has gone on in Judge Adrian’s life to make him side with an attacker like this? Empathy is instinctively biased. It’s all about who’s shoes you can place yourself in. Why does this judge identify with the attacker so much? 

I dunno about you, but I hope to one day write a book that gets banned by these schmuckasaurus rexes.

You don’t get to have this both ways. Dany’s scenes were consistently set up to be big heroic moments- you’re supposed to cheer for her throughout those scenes. Even the golden crown is an audience cheer moment because Viserys is portayed as such an out and out asshole.

Dany always struck against people in power - horse lords, masters, slave traders, etc.  She always stood up for the common people.  So in the last frame she suddenly strikes against the common people for no reason even as her real enemy was within easy reach.

And I’ve already said I was neither disappointed nor angry with the narrative beats, I just wish they were conveyed better. You can paint my reaction in whatever light you want, but I know what it actually was.

The issue is that with every single one of those, there was an internal logic driving her, an overly-violent “ends justify the means” approach to justice by which she viciously stomped out those she viewed as victimizing the poor, the weak, and the downtrodden. The latter part of that is just as important to her…

So you seem to be of the assumption that without this guys reviews, people would need to pay for a boxset to watch One Piece or Dragon Ball? “Oh, Mark’s reviews are down, guess now I’ll actually have to buy all of One Piece since there’s no other way for me to see clips of this show.”

When you say you “can’t” - do you mean that it’s not “possible”, or that it’s not “fair”? Because property taxes on real estate are based on assessed value, and those valuations are based on much less liquid markets with much shakier comps than anything being proposed on unrealized stock gains. Heck, corporations are…

That’s fair, but it’s the assumption that lighter skin is “better looking” that’s the issue here. There are plenty or dark skinned actresses who are better looking than irl Stagecoach Mary but they chose instead someone who looks nothing like her when it would’ve been just as easy to pick an actress that shares her…

What you have to understand about Conservatism is at its core, it is about preserving an in-group protected by the law but not bound by it, and an out-group bound by the law but not protected by it.

Except that Henry Ford’s contemporaries were calling him a greedy asshole anti-semite while he was alive. There is no backwards projection needed.

If he consented to a car search that wouldn’t count as unreasonable search, but just taking 87k from someone who did literally nothing is definitely unreasonable seizure.

vanishingly few innocent people get convicted of anything.

Alluding is not a crime.

This sort of false equivalence is horrible.  Petty theft is not tantamount to murder.  Fuck the murderer.

swerving to the left 1-2' is not a “dramatic change in direction or speed”. It’s like swerving to miss a pothole.

I rode for years before I had kids, the reaction happens much faster than you think.

An experienced rider who has mastered defensive riding (as anyone not wanting to die by blind motorists should have) and was paying attention to the road ahead likely would have been able to dodge this. Same way a person flinches when…

All of this assumes that her parents AREN’T being abusive and that this social media account isn’t a necessary, if unhealthy, psychological outlet right now. You’re acting like her mental health struggles aren’t directly connected to her parents’ behaviour.
