  • This may be careful wording to avoid it being struck down by the Supreme Court.

    Individual states have limited power to limit contracts. And while this may be a flimsy leg to stand on, SCOTUS may as well be the great American flamingo when it comes to standing on a single shakey leg

  • most members of the warrior class were little more than brutish thugs. A handful would have taken the strategy of individual combat seriously and they would have done quite well.

    The majority of the people they were fighting were lightly armored at best and they could get away with just swinging the sharp end at the unfortunate peasant conscripted to try to stop them.

    There are plenty of examples of knights and samurai alike, falling for just the most obvious trap you could imagine. Templars charging in to open gates, samurai rushing to duel a guy who insulted them, in both cases blood drunk and stupid, children of privilege and in armor by accident of birth.

    The Last Duel is a decent example of what happens when guys like that and up fighting each other.

    We tend to have a romantic view of the past, but we have a great Instagram filter between us and then. Reality is ugly and violent. Few people are artists, even fewer are talented artists. This is true whether they're painting or drawing blood.

  • Dude also fuckin loves sharks. Stockton Rush may have been a delusional psychopath, but he did at least help Macklemore see a fuckin cool shark.

    That's how cool Macklemore is, I hate one billionaire one iota less. Just an iota. A small, negligible, but measurable amount

  • My roommate in college was from Seoul. He was vehemently, vocally, angrily anti Japanese. His friends from Korea mostly shared similar views.

    Korea and China don't share much in common, but hating Japan and by extension people from there is one thing they do. And for similar reasons.

    They're still really pissed about the horrific war crimes.

  • HEY. MY GRANDFATHER DIDN'T DIE IN NORMANDY TO HAVE THE CONCEPT BRAVERY MOCKED.

    in fact he didn't die in Normandy at all.

    He never even set foot in Europe before 1968.

    he also thought war was silly and that calling soldiers brave was dumb and insulting.

    Anyway what were we talking about?

  • Generally when public transit is bad, it's bad on purpose.

    There's an insane amount of money flowing to keep people from ditching their cars, and actively rat-ficking any meaningful step that could be taken to fix public transit.
