You can call yourself a leftist without actually espousing ideals reflecting it.

Tankies aren't leftist, they're leftist cosplayers.

That just means it actually means either.

Rand Paul votes no on anything that allows the government to do anything. I doubt he even reads the bills.

I will never not see that as "Looking For Group"

Money doesn't buy happiness... but it does pose barriers to find happiness for yourself.

The worst part about self-checkouts is the people who spend 20 minutes trying to figure them out.

I'm in and out in a few minutes, even with a cart full of stuff.

And "clouds"

You make a good case for your own argument.

Funny thing about irrational people? Even if you act as safe as you can, they'll find some way to blame you for being their problem.

Tolerance of intolerance is not tolerance. It's enablement. Sure, don't be a petty dick and make the situation worse... but don't necessarily act the doormat either.

Because you're not entitled to go the speed you want to go. If there's nineteen cars behind you and the car in front is only going half a mile an hour faster than the people they're passing... sure. But if you're one car and they're one car, you are not entitled to go any faster than they are. They're entitled to go the speed they want... because they got their first. You want to go faster? Wait your fucking turn.

Also, please stop passing on the right. You’re just making everything worse.

Yeah, it's unsafe, but how is it making things worse? It seems to be making the best of a bad situation, not escalating anything.

90% of the time that's because everyone sits ten feet behind them so if they're next to an onramp no one can merge. And seeing as they're sixty feet long they can't exactly merge left to let someone on (because that person sitting halfway up their colon sure as fuck won't) because there's not going to be any room.

I don't particularly like it when people sit in the middle lane either... but until people realize they're not competing with everyone else on the road and actually leave enough space for people to merge (from an onramp, from another lane, wherever) then it's only responsible to ensure that people have at least a somewhat fighting chance to actually get on the highway in the first place.

Only if you're a rich white landowner who has financial interests at stake.

And also Justin Bieber was a relevant reference.

Most people aren't going to have anywhere near enough taxable investment income for that to matter.

I think I got about $.87 in interest payments from bank accounts in the past year. I don't think that's going to make a huge difference in taxable income.

You'd also need to solve time travel.

It doesn't make sense to me to put yourself in a corner where you only ever see people who think like you. It seems counter to services that provide connections between people across the globe.

I guess different strokes for different folks :)

US libertarianism is basically "I want freedom to do what I want, and want limits put on others based on my own values".

... I thought Activision was bought by Microsoft, not Ubisoft.

Yeah, I saw that X-files episode too.
