  1. Following a total disaster of a presidency like George W. Bush’s doesn’t hurt.
  2. But men wearing cargo shorts, or jeans shorts, or anyone going to the grocery store in their pajamas — that’s serious business.
  3. Yeah, my dad passed in 2014 and I’m glad he was spared the Trump turn taken by his Republican Party. I generally avoided politics with my family but that’s over with Trump. You can’t defend yourself any longer so I’m ruthless. No decent person supports Trump and if you support him then the only thing any Democrat ever did that bothered you was having “(D)” next to their name on the ballot (or being black).
  4. “Grab your dick and double-click for porn, porn, porn!”
  5. Anything relating to shitty things Republicans do is eventually going to turn into a gun thread.
  6. Maybe I should’ve said no commercial internet. And Al Gore never said that.
  7. One could argue that without porn there would be no internet.
  8. There are a whole lot of posters here who can’t grasp the concept, try as we might to explain it to them. I’ve seen a number who have learned, though, so we have to keep beating the drum. Ignore the trolls. Don’t feed them. You think you can’t let their bullshit go unchallenged. Yes you can. And should. By responding to them and quoting them you amplify them and reward them. You dignify them with your response and help them to achieve their goal of derailing thoughtful discussion. What you think your response is going to achieve is having the exact opposite effect. You’re not winning, they are. You’re getting trolled and it’s not a good look. And you’ve been falling for it FOR YEARS. Have you ever changed someone’s mind? Have you ever seen one of them say, “You’re right, I was wrong?” Of course not. Because they’re playing a different game. And you keep falling for it to the detriment of communal discourse.
  9. You’re overthinking it. Yep, sure enough.
  10. Fuck JD Vance because he’s a pathetic, spineless asshole and a complete phony. But fuck you also for using “homo” as a slur as if that’s a good slam on him for wearing eyeliner. Grow up. He’s just a fucking douchebag and the eyeliner is totally weird. If he were actually a closeted gay person then supporting hateful policies against the LGBTQ community would be a good reason to ridicule him. Not being true to himself would be. Being gay would not be. I have no reason to think he’s not straight and the eyeliner doesn’t suggest to me otherwise anymore than Trump’s makeup does. Your leap to suggesting he’s a homosexual because he wears eyeliner, with the implication that being a homosexual would be a cause for ridicule in itself, sounds bigoted and makes you an asshole. Sorry if that makes me sound “woke.”
  11. Twice.
  12. The oil companies and the churches and anyone else who stands to profit from a general distrust in science.
  13. She could also be completely full of shit.
  14. Hopefully not on a Saturday.

    LBGTQ

    They will cheer it if they do.
  16. How did that differ from FDR, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Obama, and Biden?
  17. Seems familiar.
  18. Listen to the whole album. It’s a good starting point for anyone. Late 60’s Dead rules and has a flavor all its own. It’s foundational. They didn’t have as large of a repertoire as they did in later years and the improvisational aspect was new and constituted more of the show. The songs are great but it’s the departures from the songs that make the Dead the Dead. If you don’t get that then you really don’t get the Dead. It’s an approach. In a bookend I came here to post some tasty improvisational highlights during GD60. Keeping things real. I feel confident that the Grateful Dead ethos will be kept alive long after they’re gone.
  19. Stop responding to him.
  20. I just heard that stat yesterday on the radio. That seems hard to believe.
