  1. Neg rep for all 4-circle "Venn Diagrams" that aren't really Venn Diagrams. In above image, for example, there is no universe with intersection of Fahrenheit 451 and Brave New World that also excludes both A Handmaid's Tale and Nineteen Eighty-Four. A true 4-dimension Venn Diagram cannot be constructed with circles. <end nerd math rant>
  2. Again, any statistical evidence to back this up? Is 99.99% next? One poor lonely black person in a black church who doesn't vote Democrat? And even if this were completely true and not pulled out of your ass, what does this "Political Engagement" mean? The church I go to is a sanctuary church, takes part in social justice, works with local immigrants, etc. We have even <gasp> offered transportation assistance to homeless, infirm, elderly, etc. for voting (among other needs). There may be a few Republicans in church, but not many (and no, I am not Surly black mafia). Was this political engagement? So, please, tell us how black churches are the most political, how you determined this, and how you define that (other than by being black).
  3. So Johnny, a couple of people have asked already, but any chance you have actual evidence of this, beyond what Fox tells you about Jeremiah Wright? Do Southern Baptist churches "engage in politics"? What about Mormon churches?
  4. So glad Maloney called Sondland out on having to coming in so many times with new versions. That was awesome.
  5. Ah, the modern conservative. Emoluments? Bribery? Sexual assault? Treason? All fake news! But memes? You bet your sweet ass that those are bona fide.
  6. Holy shit, you are so off here for someone who is trying to use physics. Hint one:: do you know why cars have bumpers? If two cars (same mass, same acceleration) hit each other, and one has bumpers, which one will have more damage? Hint two: if you are going to be hit by a car, would you rather be hit by one with bumpers or without? In neither case is wind resistance a factor.
  7. My favorite was making sure she we knew she was coming out of an "authentic Thai restaurant". Maybe it wouldn't have happened if it was all Americanized!
  8. Wait - was this you?
  9. But after California splits he's gonna win up here stupid libtard. Norcal is prime Trump land!
  10. Jesus will you just pit him on ignore and move on with your life instead of incessantly bitching?
  11. Sounds pretty circumstantial to me.
  12. So I'll put him down for 1.2 innings.
  13. Yup. Just good old fashioned shooting-immigrants-with-rubber-bullets humor. Glad to see you can recognize Brisket's sincerity.
  14. Thank you for explanation. Didn't think about needing to pay a doctor just to write opinion to get practical results.
  15. Not involved in this case at all, but curious about implication of this. Let's assume that InkaUtexas's case is as about a slam dunk case as it gets. Are you saying that even then, the lawyer fees will be >250K? Is this something that a non--lawyer would be able to go through on their own? I am clearly not Surly 1% and fortunate to have not needed a lawyer, so I am certainly lacking in perspective. But man, what is someone supposed to do in a case like this?
  16. The shitty thing is I genuinely think suicide may be one of the better outcomes. At least that only harms Hamm but his feed is looking really fucking dark.
  17. For all of the vapers in this thread dismissing parental concerns (especially those without school-age children), be aware that pressure for legislation is going to grow.Per survey from U of Michigan, "About 25% of 12th graders in 2019 reported using nicotine-containing vaping products within 30 days of taking one of the surveys. That figure was about 21% in the 2018 edition of the same survey and 11% in 2017. Nearly 12% of 12th graders in 2019 reported using nicotine-containing e-cigarettes on a daily basis (defined as use during 20 or more days in the last 30.)" It's awesome that vaping has helped many of you transition off of cigarettes, but you aren't helping the public perception of vaping by dismissing growing use among kids.
  18. Huh? How is that ironic? Did Mort ever hire a consultant to help him get released from a contract? Do you know what irony means? SO MANY QUESTIONS!
  19. I'm partial to "Texas Stomps a Mudhole In LSU's Ass". Has a nice ring to it.
  20. Everyone should watch the video on that link, don't need to have Facebook. That is awesome.
  21. At the minimum, no bumps for RB and TE.
  22. If you don't watch any of the networks, how can you say they are the same? Who is the equivalent of Hannity or Tucker on CNN or MSNBC?
  23. So taking "certain guns" (not sure what that meand) off the street dosen't solve problem, can only make it worse. The logical inference then is that more of those guns makes things better. Can you explain just a bit what those certain guns are and how many more we need?
  24. 1. Nowhere in that tweet does it state that Garner was minding his own business. I am not sure what the hell you are responding to there. 2. Do you think that the stress of Garner's death possibly had anything to do with her heart attack? I don't know that you can assign a certain percentage but I would certainly suspect that was at least involved in her overall health. 3. I would hypothesize that Orta received extra "scrutiny" as retaliation for the video taping. Not saying he his innocent of any of his crimes, although it certainly wouldn't surprise me if he was, but I would be shocked if his treatment post-video was completely above-board.
