What exactly do you think we did for the 200+ years America was around (with borders!) before ICE was created?

Honest question - have you considered that the general viewpoint of “moderates” in America has been pushed so far to the right that it is actually both illogical and counter-productive to cave to such unrealistic depictions of “moderate politics” and instead actively push back on the idea that “moderate politics” is…

I got to witness all of Isaiah Harris’s races in high school, including his senior year State meet where he became the first kid to ever even attempt the 200m/800m/1600m triple (he also ran the 4x400) at the Maine State meet, let alone win all of them.

Bezos is worth money because he created something people like and use.

Bezos is worth billions because he shamelessly and greedily exploits anything he can for profit, including his own workers and the cities that support his businesses.

In the vast majority of cases, when human beings are confronted with factual information that invalidates deeply held political or religious beliefs, they only dig in further to defending said beliefs. This is a well known and observed feature of psychology, and I’m not sure there actually is a “counterweight” to a…

My only experience with Methodists is the Methodist church down the street where they feed the homeless every day and have signs that read “LGBT WELCOME” and “GOD LOVES ALL HIS CHILDREN” so if that’s normal for them, maybe they were picked for being the kind of relatively open-minded, welcoming denomination someone…

I have attempted to reply to this a couple times, but Kinja REALLY wants me to reply to your comment to Timpranillo, I guess.

THIRD ATTEMPT:

Blurp, I responded to the wrong comment. Also you are correct that the comma should have been a semicolon.

If you somehow think the only options in the face of bigots spouting propaganda is to allow them full reign/pretend the ideas they are espousing are normal and acceptable, or scream at them at the top of your…

You could make a pretty solid argument that part of the decline in discourse has been the fetishism of treating all opinions and viewpoints as “equal”. If you aren’t allowed to point out that something is objectively a lie in the interest of “hearing both sides” all that is left is name calling and insults. Pretending…

I don’t think we should ignore the reminders that this President is barely capable of basic human interaction. However, you’re very much correct that it’s a sad indictment of Splinter’s priorities when the US withdrawing from the Human Rights Council doesn’t warrant a passing mention compared to Trump making another…

So, was William just the final test for “fidelity”? Like, they made a host William, but instead of risking him interacting with the world, he was let loose in the park to learn/provide data?

I know this is really hard to understand for you, as someone so consumed by self hatred and insecurity and lack of self worth that you feel the need to talk shit about homeless people online, but those of us who are secure with who we are the fact we aren’t garbage people don’t really feel the need or compulsion to…

I work full-time, volunteer, and receive no government assistance whatsoever, and worked my way through college.

As someone who has worked with many homeless youth and adults and experienced homelessness as a child, and I want you to know that you are a great example of a casually bad human being that makes society worse, and are only allowed to do so because throughout history more compassionate people have always made sure…

Well, I mean, since game-to-game momentum is a myth of confusing correlation with cause, he’s not wrong.

Is there any chance that him mis-remembering if his daughter or wife was scared of the elephants wasn’t just him being a bad dad/husband, but a... lack of “fidelity?”

I’m usually a big fan of HamNo’s articles, but logging into Splinter and seeing this article at the top made my entire night.

“How and when will these laws be enforced, and against whom?”

We’re rugged internet individualists.

“I am spiritual member of the online generation of screen-addled teens who taught themselves to type all wrong, and I’m fine with it.”

.....What? I’m only 25, no one my age that I know was ever taught how to type in a class setting, and it seems like being able to type without looking at the keys is largely a normal…
