Well if that's the real answer, then any question at all would be a waste.

As far as I'm concerned, if you opt your kid out of vaccines for any reason besides sound medical concern, you should also be opting your kid out of public education.

I shouldn't have to put my kids at risk because the people in your dumb little church group are too stupid to inoculate their offspring.

And the unfounded snobbery award of the day goes to

Muppet Family Christmas and Emmett Otter are our yearly Xmas Eve watch.

Today it's the Doctor Who episode "A Christmas Carol", on the day that we're all halfway out of the dark.

"Are you sure that's what you want to do?"

Quentin's pitch: "So there's an entire species where they're all feet. And Kirk says the n-word. Like, a lot."

You don't have a cat.

As someone who browses almost exclusively 9n my phone, I appreciate having a moment to pause it, flip my phone sideways, and adjust the resolution because YouTube always defaults to crappy.

There are also things like cuckoo clocks and a reference to a train.

You don't actually have to watch it. You also don't have to complain about it in literally every thread about it.

Incremental change is often the best we can hope for in this world.

One can only assume that Sony cast Madame Web so young because they know they're not going to get around to having her actually interact with Spider-Man for another decade or two.

At what point can authorities be held criminally liable for failing to enforce laws that protect people, and as a direct result someone gets killed? We need to be better about holding our institutions accountable.

Every prison should be replaced with facilities for drug treatment, support groups, and job training. Give those people something to do and they won't be a threat to anyone, and that burden on society will disappear in a couple generations because they're not passing it on to their offspring.

But of course that doesn't directly make money for the people who own the system, so good luck convincing the folks in charge to make a change.

Like an engineer doing turbo lift maintenance, this works on multiple levels.

And this right here is why I don't do Xitter or Tumblr. Getting this worked up over esoteric personal details of C-list podcast hosts is just not worth my time or mental energy. I'm glad there are people like you to keep things straight like you did here, but my god, these keyboard warriors have way too much time on their hands.

Litigating a stranger's legal troubles isn't their job. There's literally a system for that already.

Its definitely a case of "um, yeah, your application to ever join the Federation has been denied, pending you not having incredibly stupid laws".
