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  

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…

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.”
 

“We Gon’ Be All White”

you are literally making shit up: http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/elizabeth-warren/

“Trump loses by wide margins in hypothetical matches against Joe Biden (54/39) or Bernie Sanders (52/39) for reelection. Trump loses 12-13% of the folks who voted for him last fall to either Biden or Sanders. Trump also trails…

i mean youre forgiven if you didnt know the DNC keynote speaker is considered a major platform and just about everyone who has given its address runs in the subsequent primary.

he gave the keynote at the dnc in 2004

Its not just baggage fees though...its any deviation from that initial base fare. I think you actually framed it really well, but I think the frame fits my point a little better: “it’s creating a scenario specifically to prove the point it wants to make.”

That is 100% what the airlines are doing with cheap base fares,…

Lol holy moly indeed. It’s cool I welcome the Input. I don’t disagree that the base ticket is less. But I disagree that is an accurate measure for comparing the cost of flying from one place to another.

yeesh what’s with the personal vendetta tone. good luck and safe travels.

this is an example of a flawed article - 1978 hmmm what happened around that time that made all fossil fueled travel extremely expensive?

anyways all jest aside, yes, if you are traveling by yourself well in advance on a short trip with a very limited carryon, you are saving money (but not 50%). But i disagree that is…
