If you go to actual economists and ask them “X has negative externalities, but some people really need X and some don’t and there’s a big grey area of people who just like X, how can we nudge people away from it without banning X for everyone”, 10 out of 10 economists will tell you to tax it.

Effect !> Affect

Hah, are you wrong. Drive a Miata. And hear all the chick car jokes? Or a Fiat 500, and have people sneer that you are in a tiny cute car, not one appropriate for you? And have you not heard motorcyclist called organ donors, on a crotch rocket, and yet you say nobody calls out motorcycles? And all those non-tree…

These same questions never get asked of people with sports cars or people with motorcycles.

Sightly off subject, but, if you’re ever in the Naples area to see Pompei, also check out Herculaneum which is smaller but much more well preserved.

This privileged douche bro got his facts even more wrong. England abolished slavery in 1807, and then strengthened the concept for the entire empire (which concept is itself problematic, but I digress) in 1837. So, read a fucking book before you go off on a racist rant, Jahn.

Half of drivers are below the median. The majority can be below average.

Kids these days really like that damn Squirrel Nut Zippers band by golly.

To give you a sense of how big a prick he was, he managed to get 150 people (out of about 300 students total) to sign a complaint about his behavior. And he was only in school ONE semester.

Favorite fact about the AN-225 - it’s cargo bay length is longer than the Wright brothers’ first flight

The secret is to throw a tarp on it and wait it out, then claim eminent domain.

You would only make Mayor McCheese more powerful, you fool! 

It’s worse getting caught up in it.  You need to tread Caerphilly.

Maybe it goes better with kaiju films. (Imagine a Godzilla trailer set to ‘Big in Japan’...)

JL2: The Legend of Snyder’s Gold

I really wish we could’ve left Tom Waits out of this. This song (and I say this as an enormous Tom Waits fan) is poorly used here. I guess the conceit is that “it’s time time time” for us to finally see “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”, which would almost work if they’d excised all of the verses and half the chorus, but…

BMI is an epidemiological tool. It has value as one data point in the analysis of population-wide health. It is of little value to a given individual.
