  • I didn't. I was referring to countries that still exist today.

  • You have to admit, they have a great sense of macabre humor. I guess the only countries that top that are China and Iran.

  • That's the most accurate article on the subject I've read in years.

  • Do we officially call them the US Gestapo yet or do we wait until they resort to torture on US soil?

  • Abuse is going to happen In any organization that works with children

    Abuse is going to be 10x worse in organizations that specialize in brainwashing and bigotry, emphasize hierarchy and cultivate secrecy.

    That's why, while you're correct, child abuse cases almost always come from cults (including the widely recognized cults we coyly call churches), sketchy historical children indoctrination outfits like the Scouts, much less often from schools, and rarely from pediatricians and other medical professionals.

  • Aah, traditions... Joseph Smith and Bring'em Young would be proud.

    For what it's worth, here's the list of teenage brides of those two holy pedos:

    • Teen Brides of Joseph Smith Jr.:

    Fanny Alger—16 (JSJ—27 ) Sarah Ann Whitney—17 (JSJ—36 ) Flora Ann Woodworth—16 (JSJ—37 ) Emily Dow Partridge—19 (JSJ—37 Lucy Walker—17 (JSJ—37 ) Sarah Lawrence—17 (JSJ—37 ) Maria Lawrence—19 (JSJ—37 ) Helen Mar Kimball—14 (JSJ—37 ) Melissa Lott—19 (JSJ—37 ) Nancy Mariah Winchester—14 (JSJ—37 )

    • Teen Brides of Brigham Young:

  • Well, somebody had to pick up where the Catholic church left off...

  • Republicans, like religious authorities and fascists of all kinds, are entirely too concerned by the contents of other people's pants.

  • I think he's just plain senile, but still functional and not at the dribbling stage yet.

  • "check for violence" for any comments that contain the word "Luigi".

    This is gonna make Nintendo retro-garming discussions really awkward.

  • Will nobody help this poor man?

    The tragedy of poverty...

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has acknowledged vaccines’ role.

    The mere fact that the secretary of the HHS acknowledging the blindingly obvious and scientifically accepted truth is even newsworthy is nothing short of staggering.

  • With shell scripts, I'm not sure.

    With Python scripts, you want argcomplete.

  • Removing the crisis-in-chief from office would go a long way towards solving all the others.

    Of course, I also know he's only a symptom, and people will vote another crazy fascist in next time they have the chance, because whatever problems caused them to vote stupid twice haven't disappeared. But short term, it would to the world a world of good.

  • Trump really is trying his hardest to antagonize all US allies without exceptions. Even the sketchiest allies. Soon the US will find itself totally isolated on the world stage.

    Quite an achievement...
