Good thing Splinter is doing their part to discourage the young from voting.

Oh you’re saying you won’t vote because your vote won’t make everything perfect immediately. I see, I see. And you say that this fellow on the internet thinks this position is “hard to argue with”. I see, I see.

I do not think it is hard to argue with. I think it is arguable. *I think you have been misled by a fellow…

The first thing to care about, of course, is the monstrous and inhumane misuse of power.

But just imagine the insanity of how much money this costs, actively making things worse, in order to avoid spending money making things better.

Let him know.

Never had one, won’t get one. Makes it tricky to support twitch-ers I like.

My rule with needles is: something goin in? no problem. Stuff bein taken out? Cry like a baby and beg for mercy.

Not lie to courts by filing false documents and saying they notified the debtor when they did no such thing?

I'm sorry, I wish you and your country the best. 

It’s so weird how the jocks turned out to be the good guys.

Doctors are well-compensated, so it’s understandable we tend to think of it as a good job. But their training is so traumatic-by-design it’d make the Marines blush, and in many ways nowadays their working environment is just as hellish as the average American workers. Empathy is pretty savagely beaten out of (most of)…

Not sure what makes you think poor people aren’t tired and aching all the time. They are; they just don’t have the time or money to do anything about it.

The presidency is a helluva job. Even running for it is. I think Trump is also at a point in *life* where things can change pretty rapidly.

538's much-maligned poll had a 1 in 3 chance of Donald Trump winning on election night. 1 in 3 chances happen all the goddamn time. It’s not pollsters’ fault that people don’t understand goddamn statistics.

Some things, you shouldn’t do just because they work for the other side. But this isn’t one of those things. Yes, local and state candidates should have a list of things they plan to do in their time in office that are achievable. They should also speak to what they believe ought to be done beyond that.

Credit where credit is due; that is better.

“When asked to provide comment on their statement, a State Dept. representative began what can only loosely be described as beat-boxing.”

More like NormanWeakburn amirite?

What we know, after a little bit of digging, is that there was absolutely nothing interesting to know. He was just an utter nullity who was permitted to have the tools to nullify other people.

I work at a city government, not in public health but I have friends who’re there. They sometimes joke that their motto is “If it’s fun, we’d prefer if you didn’t.”
