Neat take! This says that trucks are backed up for miles trying to get into Gaza and that Israel is blockading them. Got anything to support your claim?

Over 90% of the people that die in any high risk jobs, on construction sites and in wars are… men. Why is there no complaint about equal deaths?

You know women were only cleared for all positions in the military as of 1994, right? Who do you think pushed for that?

I kick in your front door and kill two of your kids. I then plant mines at the entrances to your living room and kitchen, eat all the food from the refrigerator and shoot at you if you try to come downstairs. You need to end this aggression, it's unseemly and it's getting people hurt. Just cede the living room and the kitchen, you wouldn't want to escalate things. Also I can't help but notice that your basement and upstairs bathroom are looking pretty liberateable.

Take a look at everyone clutching their pearls over this painting and think about what doesn't upset them

When you're poor accusation is guilt and you sit in prison without trial for years. When you're rich, losing in court is just the beginning of negotiations.

but at this point it’s not like you can do shit about it *except not buy products that do it and tell other people about it so they can do the same just like we're doing in this thread you defeatist weiner

Make filibusters back into what they were intended as, unlimited debate.

hard, throbbing agree there. this thing where one congressmonster sends an email that says "I'm gonna filibuster this" and then everyone gets the rest of the day off for cocktails and footrubs is a gross perversion of what it was intended for.

idk about merge the senate into the house. I like the idea that there is one chamber where each state has the same number of votes and one that goes by population. but hard agree on removing the house rep cap, as-is every branch of the fed is weighted toward smaller, more rural states (senate, house with rep cap, potus via electoral college, scotus because senate and potus pick scotus)

If you can't see that the issue is that the TOS could include anything the company wants and that disagreeing means the device I already paid for is intentionally bricked then I don't know what to tell you.

what do you know about Marshall McLuhan? I'm hoping it's not very much, because you seem to be in a really good place to receive what he has to teach right now. Google the phrase "the medium is the message" if you'd like to know more.

I think it's a rounding thing. Looking at an analog clock, you'll see at a glance that the hand is about halfway around the circle but it takes an additional processing step to determine whether it's 6:31 or 6:29. Looking at a digital clock, you'll see that it's 6:29 first and then it takes another step of processing to determine that 29 minutes is roughly halfway through the hour.

It's fucked that an authoritarian government would use social media to track and arrest protestors. I'd love to believe that this is a move toward transparency and protecting people but I think it's a lot more likely to be a "nobody exploits social media to manipulate and repress my citizenry except me, and maybe the boy" situation.

I'm currently playing through the ace attorney series, couch party w my fiancee. We're having a blast, but there's absolutely no doing this a second time. The nature of the games is such that you can't really progress in any of the cases without having asked every question of every witness, gathered every piece of evidence and explored every relevant branch in cross-examination, so by the time you finish a case there's just nothing left to go over a second time.

I feel like palmtop, as derived from desktop and laptop, has a shot here

they know that he'll let them hurt who they want to hurt and they don't care about anything else. I think to a lot of them a mentally incompetent trump is a bonus because he'll be easier to steer.

I don't think he walks in there with notecards, no. I think he's in the habit of trying to talk like Stringer Bell about things after decades of being a modestly successful white collar criminal. I think that at this point answering questions with vague phrases isn't a conscious strategy so much as just part of who he is.

if you haven't caught on to Trump's imply/deny strategy yet then I think you're a very fine person who needs to stand back and stand by

Iirc wasn't that one on the box of a fridge, but the people who installed it deboxed it first and then Samsung tried to argue that the customer was still bound by a EULA they never knew existed?

I get voting for harm reduction

Question for you: has any candidate for president, or even someone running in a party's primary, ever been perfectly aligned with your beliefs on all things?
