Trump may or not may not be a billionaire, but he definitely did not use his endless cash for his campaign. I’m pretty sure he only made like a $20 million LOAN during the last months/weeks. (probably because he isn’t a billionaire).

Also this is why parliamentary systems w/ figure head presidents are good.

haha ahhh you are correct re atom vs molecule! My bad!!

I understand the intention, but the extreme exaggeration undermines the idiom. The point of the idiom is that a grain of salt is more or less a useless ingredient; but you can’t say the same for a heaping amount of salt. Which suggests that Manson was speaking the truth. To take the idiom to the extreme but still…

“Enjoy this factoid with a heaping mountain of salt.”

Wait...? What? 

“But unlike Weinstein and other alleged predators, their apparent crime is not physical, then, it’s an intellectual one”

Thought police? Jesus christ. They absolutely deserve take downs and to be called out for their misogyny, but to escalate this to the level of “intellectual” crimes is absurd and embarrassing. What…

“They pulled off this Red Dawn of comment sections”

Its spelled K-I-N-J-A  

ciao

thanks for restating first comment?

“You shouldn’t run a headline that suggests Puerto Rico was already a failure and then walk it back ever so slightly that its worse now.”

The headline says that dangerous drinking water is nothing new for puerto ricans. It’s suggests that the dangerous drinking water post-hurricane is no different (ie, not new) than the drinking water prior to the hurricane. That is a false equivocation tantamount to a lie.

dude 1 in 4 americans water supply doesnt meet the national standard that’s like what, 75+ million people?

No, a false equivalency is not accurate at all. This is like telling someone who lost an arm that because they’ve had a bloody nose before, this should be nothing new.

thank you! seriously needed.

Wow this is the worst kind of sensationalism and false equivocation that, perhaps despite your intentions, plays right into the hands of those who’d rather believe Puerto Rico was in ruin before the hurricane. You shouldn’t run a headline that suggests Puerto Rico was already a failure and then walk it back ever so…

Rhose Island never let’s go

i dunno kinda seems like your treading in the territory of absolving him of his actions because hes such a reptile. There’s a standard and whoever breaks it deserves to be called out for it. Maybe he isn’t a nazi “on the inside” but he sure as fuck is on the outside right now. And there’s no pass for nazis, whether…

i’m really hoping for the one in a billion chance that some magic iron island/euron/eldritch apocalypse stuff turns out to be the final act.

The maesters mentioned the drowned god and krakens rising from the sea while dismissing white walkers...

but you don’t have numbers either? And you’re using the same obfuscation of the facts to make your point - when the point that myself and the author are making is that it is suspicious that there are only white faces when what we do know is that there were some level of brown faces.

no harm no foul. There are two arguements here. One is that if the movie is going to be historically accurate, then it should reflect the history, That means including Indian and African sailors and soldiers in some capacity.

The second argument is that Indians and Africans should also be a focus of the story.

The…

I get it - we’re really just focusing on a few trees, but what I’m saying (and the I believe the author here is saying) is that the forest doesn’t look right. Don’t move the goal posts and tell me that for Indians or Africans to be included, we’d need a fourth story arc. That’s silly. There were more were wide…

“by 1938, lascars – mostly from South Asia and East Africa – counted for one of four crewmen on British merchant vessels, and thus participated in large numbers in the evacuation.”
