  1. Also, I'm not an expert on these online communities, but I think there's a lot of daylight between those who wear animal ears or animal onesies as a cutesie thing, and actual furries. As in thatguy's daughter.
  2. If you Google or duckduckgo any conservative talking point, you will find it on dozens of right-wing shitposting sites. It oftentimes looks like new information, but most of the time just cites the one "original" source, whatever it is and however credible it is. And you have to wade through dozens of those sites, using your google-fu intuition, until you get to either the original source or some credible site that actually tackles the underlying facts and/or credibility of the original source. It's one of the ways they have of flooding the zone with bullshit and works particularly well to buffalo those without internet bullshit detectors like olds, dumbdumbs, and old dumbdumbs. To wit, and this one isn't too bad, actually.
  3. I'm not sure white women are the problem.
  4. Re: Cruises generally. If you don't mind "chillin on the boat," the floating hotel concept with shore excursions; and You can "control" for the other passengers, ie not hordes of people of Walmart. You should be just fine with a cruise. The Carnival commoditization of them is what has given them the bad rap over the last 25 years or so.
  5. They deserve blame. Assuming they is the internet/software "titans" and not merely the users. Most of these technocrats have an insufferable social arrogance. Their belief in their own "disruption" and that the rules of bricks and mortar business didn't apply to them was seriously internalized. Now they think they're too good for democracy, or really any existing government that might try to regulate or restrain their disruptive greatness and unbelievable intellect. And everyone that doesn't wholeheartedly share their self-belief is an intellectual pygmy moron. Part of it is flat greed, but another pretty serious part of their sociopathy is their belief in the infallibility of their products and services. There's a reason most of them, from Gates and Jobs on down, are weird little sociopaths. And now they have undue influence on how this country is run.
  6. His term is up in less than a year. For some reason I don't really get, Trump's people are restraining him.
  7. I think these terminally online communities of youngsters are a great example of the back end of the horseshoe, or the flat circle, where extreme right and left wing beliefs start to merge or become indistinguishable.
  8. And, I am far less concerned about the douchiness. I actually applaud the sense of community, but fear the horrible theology and moral philosophy that marks a lot of those douche factories.
  9. I hadn't seen that about the RPI "gaming," but makes perfect sense and ties in, again, with weakness of BXII.
  10. This team has solid leadership in Emma and Ella and I think that's worth noting in terms of where we end up.
  11. Coach Elliott has always believed in a rigorous non-conference schedule. I think that's partly because of the BXII where we mostly would not be challenged during conference play. Kept us from seeing "big dogs" in the tourney for the first time. And Lord knows, I think BXII play put us to sleep many times and we barely roused for the tourney. Also let us get close without top flight defensive play, meaning a 1, 2, or 3 loss record, high ranking and tournament seeding without being tested like the B10, P10, or even SEC.
  12. No. But only 20% of voucher funding available to families over 500% of poverty level, currently about 160k.
  13. That's fucking insane. I see any number of Bishops saying the same kind of shit.
  14. I will again point out that the judiciary is the only thing even throwing logs in Trump's path. SCOTUS may ultimately remove them, but I think once things can't be resolved on the shadow docket, it's going to get stickier for them. The scorecard: Total number of cases currently tracked: 404. Case Status Summary Case Closed in Favor of Plaintiff: 0 Blocked: 28 Temporarily Blocked: 82 Blocked Pending Appeal: 19 Temporarily Blocked in Part; Temporary Block Denied in Part: 10 Temporary Block Denied: 38 Not Blocked Pending Appeal: 33 Awaiting Court Ruling: 162 Case Closed: 23 Misc: Transferred: 2 Case Closed/Dismissed in Favor of Government: 7
  15. Inasmuch as that has been illegal for quite some time now, why hasn't anyone sued? And, can you say with complete, or really any confidence that the "certain races, genders, etc." were less competent or meritorious than the mediocre white men they "replaced"? Or could it be that management is rewarded for recruiting competent and qualified "certain races, genders, etc". and insuring they don't get passed over by the good ol' boy system?
  16. It's another species of the dog catching the car. Now what? Electoral hatred remains kind of an abstract proposition. Once the administration starts implementing it, people are gonna flinch.
  17. I say 'fit personally. Along with drip and rizz.
  18. Assuming the Utah DA is pretty competent and not heavily influenced by the regime, s/he wouldn't want to include this in an indictment if it was less than true or accurate, at least substantially. On the other hand, it would seem that the only people that could challenge it would be Robinson and "Lance," and maybe some other participants, who are mostly aligned with Robinson. Robinson isn't going to challenge it in public until he brings a motion to dismiss the indictment, as a general way to discredit it.
  19. Ironic that Chuckles would project someone speaking over someone else. That's one of his main devices.
  20. Yet here you people are claiming concern for the working class. While implementing policies that favor and enrich corporations and the wealthy elite.
  21. Do you actually believe the Democratic Party or candidate is MORE LIKELY to enact oppressive and racist criminal laws than the Republican Party? Certainly both parties are guilty of similar malfeasance in this area, but to vote third party on some unrealistic claim of repealing or not adding to the criminal morass, given the current circumstances is, well . . . something.
  22. We're all waiting for some truth from you.
  23. There is such thing as "first principles." And a first principle might well be to vote in a way that prevents great harm to the republic. And what the fuck is the bold?
  24. I want the motherfucker to go on record.
