    We ArEn't a DEMocracY LibTAARD!!11  IT's A coNStiTuTionAL RePUbLIC  huurrrr durrr

    I see this stupid talking point almost every fucking day. No, they don't support democracy.

    "BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that we... oppose legislation which makes our nation more "democratic" in nature, and that, while we favor and encourage liberty in all 30 nations, we oppose all efforts to use American military might to spread "democracy" around the world."

    Your Washington State Republican party, folks...

  2. Things that started out as "oops" but now are the way I pronounce things to embarrass my daughters in front of their friends:

    • "luh-VAN-dur" = Lavender
    • "ren-day-ZEE-voose" = Rendezvous
    • "extra ordinary" (break between words)= Extraordinary
    • "kuh-RAM-muhl" = caramel (as a counter point to the "car.mel" and "care.a.mel" debate)
    • Given the previous, was a big fan of "kuh-RAM-muh-low" in the early 2000s

  3. Good question- Lots of places to eat and shop and stuff right near the Bainbridge landing area, so you could probably get away with just walking.

    You might consider renting a bike if you want to tour around a bit more (https://www.bikebarnrentals.com/)... I always try to go the the Exclusion Memorial when I go over to the island (with my car): https://www.nps.gov/miin/learn/historyculture/bainbridge-island-japanese-american-exclusion-memorial.htm

    Here's a few resources:

    I like to think that there is a semi-liquid poop pool down at the asshole, so that farts percolate up through it like pot smoke through bong water, except maybe with different effects.

    They should let Trump serve as his own lawyer... you know, with his big brain and all that.

    If you’re cool with million dollar house prices. But I guess if you are comfortable in Seattle proper, you would be. 

    Yup. Except the ones in Seattle are about 2/3 the size and no yard or acreage for the same price.

    Our initial inclination is to look for a place in north Seattle convenient to I-5 and rail. Greenwood, Maple Leaf, Northgate, Green Lake, Roosevelt, something like that. Any thoughts on whether that counter-commute is doable? Evidently there are some staff that live in north Seattle and say it's not bad. I definitely prefer an urban location like that but I work remotely, I'm not the one commuting. Honestly I could compromise on an inner ring suburban location like Shoreline or Mountlake Terrace as long as it's convenient to I-5 + the coming rail extension. I worry that commuting from North Seattle will suck for her despite it being a counter commute but my wife is pretty set on living in Seattle proper as a base to get to know the region better. 

    If you can get past the need to live in Seattle proper, being in Edmonds would be pretty sweet- close to Everett and a quick jaunt down to Seattle if you wanted. Bothell or Montlake Terrace (as you mentioned) might also work (Snohomish county for tax purposes).

    If you were open to something more rural/small town, Snohomish is pretty nice, and I have a lot of friends who really like Woodinville (lotta wineries and such in that area).

    You don’t get it. WNBA players work just as hard as NBA players. Therefore they should be paid the same. Don’t distract from the argument by pointing out irrelevancies like attendance, TV ratings, revenue from licensing, or other similar silly numbers. Just pay them more. C’mon man.

    I think for this guy it’s pure libertarianism and then belief that every part of the government needs to be severely constrained due to corruption.

     

    He’s honestly more of an anarchist libertarian than a fascist.

    There's a lot of that mindset on both sides of the political spectrum. 

    Atlantic: The Americans Who Need Chaos.

    Quote

    White men in the conspiracy-theory study were the most sensitive to perceived challenges to status, Petersen told me. But the researchers wrote that the need for chaos was “highest among racial groups facing historical injustice—in particular, Black males.”

    Anti-elite conspiracy theories and tear-it-all-down rhetoric can appeal to groups who feel, sometimes quite rightly, aggrieved by long-standing injustice.

    As we spoke, I recalled some of the radical rhetoric from the summer of 2020: “If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it,” Hawk Newsome, the chairman of Black Lives Matter of Greater New York, said during an interview with Fox News. “I could be speaking figuratively; I could be speaking literally. It’s a matter of interpretation.” When I think about our political and social institutions, I cannot help thinking, “Just let them all burn.”

    USC should just give the speech to Vince Young.

    Yup. They'll probably give it to Lendale White instead

    Same way my neighbors were okay with me trenching their yards on the way to and from HEB. When it is midnight and you absolutely, positively have to get some Doritos.

    Wait... The HEB in Tehran is open at midnight?
