Uh, you’re responding to a racist troll, who deliberately ignored the article pointing out that the students caught on video are white.

it’s been safely used for decades

His lawyers are being bankrolled by different, richer fascists.

He probably can, in Florida. Their Stand Your Ground law is a gun lobby wet dream and bears no relationship to any normal person’s view of self-defense.

There’s a reason that AirBnB fights so hard to keep government from creating rental registries. They like to pretend they’re all about the little guy renting out the spare room from time to time, when it’s really about permitting real estate speculators to create unlicensed hotels.

You can do better than a man who thinks there is such a thing as ordering too much fried chicken, Claire!

In their minds, though, it’s not a contradiction, because it’s not really about what they’re saying. It’s about the emotional truth that the platitudes are covering up.   

It’s less that they’ve been whipped up into a lather this long, than they have a huge emotional sunk cost in wanting to believe the pandemic is a hoax. It’s too frightening to believe that it’s real and deadly.

Pretty sure the person who ruined your client’s good name is your own damn client, counselor.

“Arranged marriage” covers a lot of ground. In some places, it means glorified matchmaking. In other places, it means families treating girls as tangible assets to be sold.

He’s been sentenced to four to ten years. He’s going to spend much of the prime of his life in prison - a time when most people would otherwise be building a career, starting a family, and otherwise having normal lives. He threw that away because he had some racist anger about a BLM sign. I’m not saying this to evoke…

More to the point, he’s doing the exact thing he’s whining about - spending time worrying/complaining about trivial matters.

It doesn’t even matter if the disclaimer is fine or the character is an asshole. Why harass the voice actor for playing a fictional asshole character?  

Can we really not use this (harassment of a voice actor) as a pretext to recycle the “STFU and go away” anti-anti-bigotry discourse of yore? The problem here isn’t that people think the character is a dick, or that having him be a stalker is problematic. The problem is that people are trying to harass a voice actor…

So, they violated a court order? Time to drag their attorneys in front of the judge. I wonder how long they’ll put loyalty to Riot Games front and center once they’re facing contempt of court.

Yep. And they almost never think how unfair it is that the person on the top of the ladder gets government benefits. They just want to kick the family that’s a couple of rungs lower.

It’s not just rich people. It’s also working-class and middle-class people who are angry that THEY aren’t getting help (at least in ways that they are able to recognize as help).

Then maybe don’t hug them anymore? They didn’t fall down a rabbit hole. They jumped in, because they’re getting something out of it - the sense of feeling smarter than everybody else, an excuse to let their bigot flag fly free, I don’t know. (Probably the latter, because you know where that Hillary stuff comes from.)

They don’t have deficient skills. There’s a whole lot of mental gymnastics going on where they don’t want to be afraid they might be victims, and don’t want the anxiety of having negative feelings about someone who is ‘like them’, or likeable, or whatever.

It’s a stupid fucking opinion. She absolutely would not have rubber-stamped putting the entire Federalist Society remedial team on the federal bench, which is what Trump did.
