  • "Think of the business" may be the only way to stop Trump considering who has most of the power.

  • I think once you get past carbon dating limitations, it's hard to judge who is older than whom.

  • Believe it or not, people of all sorts of political views are civilian DoD workers.

  • That's what I'm suggesting. Did they even look up how to do it?

    Of course, they could have used a public library computer or something.

  • No matter how he dies, there will be a contingent insisting he isn't actually dead.

    Some of those insane QAnon people think JFK is still alive. Not JFK, Jr. JFK. Who was born in 1917.

  • "What if we abandon siding with one authoritarian and side with a different authoritarian" is not the good argument you seem to think it is.

  • And this makes me wonder if Greg Abbott is trying to get someone for discriminating against him being in a wheelchair.

    Because it's always different then.

  • I wouldn't call him a celebrity at this point. And I don't know that being a professional athlete automatically makes one a celebrity either. There are plenty of pro athletes that can walk down the street unrecognized. Just because you're in the NFL doesn't mean everyone knows you.

  • Me too. These days you see people whining about "liberal women" and what they say...

  • Although I voted for Bernie, I have always been pretty sure that if he were elected president, both parties would work against him in congress and the judiciary as well and he would achieve very little.

    But achieving very little is better than what's happening now.

  • Everyone hoping there's still a chance, you need to remember... this is only a city-killer asteroid.

    We need to hope for a much bigger asteroid.

    I'm only mildly infuriated by this because I've only been here a couple of weeks and am on a lower floor. Whoever put up this sign, on the other hand...

    Every time there's a new type of "prove you're not a robot" gate put up on a website, I don't have to figure out the human answer, I have to figure out what a robot thinks is the human answer.

    YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power.
