Wow I read this and had totally forgotten about it until I saw this article. :o

I can’t even get Robax with 8 grains codeine anymore for neck pain.

Sure, because running with a single, unified identity politics is easy, if the bloc that signs on to that identity is big enough.

If you have dozens, all of them a minority of the population - sometimes mutually-exclusive minorities - and they want to win, they’re going to have to agree on a platform that speaks to…

I’m finding it unexpectedly difficult to avoid softening towards him. I just have to keep reminding myself about all the war crimes, but there’s still this voice that’s like, “yeah, but... Christ he kinda seems ok, now.” :P (Ultimately I don’t agree with this voice, but it’s persistent)

It’s a tumblr/mental health thing. the spoons are a metaphor for how much energy you have in a given day.

Really, anything else is a step up. Twitter is a hole.

What do you think the outcome of these groups will be? How do you think that outcome might be different if they adopted a less religious approach? How do you think the conversations would change?

Do you think there are people who come to these groups who wouldn’t find a more secular group as appealing? (Of course, the…

Thank you for the excellent article! Wish it was longer, if anything.

Oh man, before reading the article I was anticipating so much worse. It’s like being beaten every day with a brick, and then one morning someone comes at you with a rattan cane and you’re like, “Sweet.”

Pretty cold trying to catch up to them without her coat, I imagine.

Look, you fucked up, and good on you for admitting it.

But - not to diminish the point of having to choose between right and wrong - your situation is also really different. You didn’t know either of them. You were passing through a public space at night.

These people were at a party and knew both the perp and the…

I couldn’t get past that either. What the everliving fuck. How do you just fucking go inside and keep on partying when someone is screaming and beating someone else on the porch? What the *fuck*.

It’s one, kind of depressing, thing to think people might freeze up or not know what to do. But to walk away. And not think,…

*hugs*

“I’m afraid I have to take some issue with your police work there, X” was one of the most common things my former partner and I would say to the other if they’d said something dumb. Accent mandatory.

Good review, got me to watch the episode after skipping the premier, and ... I dunno. For real, not bein’ cool-internet-ironic. I can’t decide if it’s bad or just finding its feet. Why does everyone explain their innermost motivations to someone they’ve just met and mostly don’t like? Why is everyone declaiming all…

White Evangelicals aren’t the only kind of American Christians, even.

YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PARSECS

You gave me such a moment of blinding nerd rage, there, before the fakeout.

He mentions Moses and David but not Jesus, comes from a Jewish background, I mean, why would you assume he’s an evangelical Christian? It’s not a big deal or anything, but it’s sort of clumsy to assume religious feeling = Jeeeezus, especially when, you know, Cameron’s ilk belief some pretty awful shit about Jews.

Other than that, yes!
