The Pitters' Place

I didn't really read that as painting all liberals in a certain light; he mentioned the liberal response on Reddit and Twitter and said a lot of libs are full of shit fuck bags. that's also what I'm talking about, at least on Reddit. I don't know proportions, but there were many, many liberals/Dems...

I never cared about Franken at all, but I'm pretty disgusted at the liberal response to his resignation on places like Reddit and Twitter. I don't understand how you can pretend to be standing up for women and sexual assault/harassment victims and posture against Trump and Roy Moore when you're aga...

Already removed.

Edit: Nevermind. You have to go to the actual youtube site.

I sent my Lady this article as she is a neuroscientist (although not a neurosurgeon, so take it for what you will). Here is her response:

"More neurons doesn't equal smarter. Also Frontiers journals are shit"

My aunt is like that. I love her so it's hard to find a kind way of saying 'SNOPES, jesus look it up on snopes first' Snopes is part of the conspiracy. She won't listen to Snopes either, factcheck.org, politifact, etc because they are all biased liberal websites. Meanwhile, she'll believe anything ...

My aunt, and to a lesser degree my Grandmother, fall for pretty much any outlandish story they read on the internet. The other day she was posting about car thieves putting $100 bills on the handles of cars that were laced with chemicals that would instantly cause you to black out. I was going to te...

I admittedly didn't really follow the Reid/Bernie thing. tl; dr version?

I think the European Motos are slightly different than the US based ones, but I'm not sure the specifics.

My fear with Bernie being President is that the presidency takes a toll physically and mentally. Both Obama and Dubya look like they aged 15+ years during their presidency. There's a lot of stress and not a lot of sleep. I'm not sure someone who's 79 would be able to really deal with the rigors.

Monk

Something like the Moto G5 or G5 Plus might be a good option for you. Solid phones with good battery life, but pretty budget. Also might be worthwhile to check out some of Huawei's phones (like Honor 8)

Monk

Bernie has a higher approval rating among Hillary's voters than Hillary herself also among literally every single demographic I don't think this is actually surprising at all. I'm fairly certain this happens pretty regularly after a candidate loses an election. Nobody is happy to have voted for the...

To me, it's more like "the internet as a whole is largely for adults". Or, to quote Avenue Q (I think?), "The internet is for porn". The point being that the internet is in no way a safe place for kids. Whether it's YouTube, Facebook, Google, even Wikipedia... kids shouldn't be ...

Way late to the party here, but I travel to Michigan pretty regularly but never actually been to Detroit (even though I fly into DTW). Any recs?

Monk

Gotta be more specific. How much do you want to pay? Are you a heavy user (e.g. gaming, lots of apps, etc)? What size do you want?

Monk

[sigh] You can claim the author did not provide sufficient/satisfactory evidence(or arguments) for his hypothesis/conclusions, but your analogy to video game/comic book pearl-clutching and hysteria suggests you don't understand what is even being claimed in the first place. Actually it suggests I u...

Well, maybe if Jordan were one-legged, but even that's debatable.

Whoa! An on topic post, that's unexpected.

Sometimes I like to throw a wrench into the works.

Isn't there a term for people who are attracted to adolescents? I feel like there is an I can't remember.

See, the Democrats are much better than Republicans! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

I mean, they are. They still suck, but not as much.

Haha thanks! Sorry for the late reply. I was out most of the week

I'm sure broflakes will find a way to blame her somehow.

Elaborate on these sexual favors you speak of.

Monk

Holy crap, also just found out that the patent office told them that they could have trademarked the name if they weren't Asian, but because they're Asian, they can't. So the patent office DID take into account the fact that they are all Asian. I was going to mention this. It's literally because th...

Sometimes I encounter claims that seem clearly false but are extremely difficult to prove - like the Earth being flat. I've been stuck debating a TERF who insists that trans women (including those post-op and on estrogen) are just as likely to sexually assault women and children as cis men. On the ...

Problems with BvS: 6) How the fuck was a regular pocket knife able to cut through a Kryptonian's skin and make him bleed? Batman risked his life to build Kryptonite weapons.

The Democrats have shifted left? In what world? 20 years ago, Clinton would have been a Republican. The Democrats have shifted heavily right. And you know why? Because they know they don't actually have to appeal to voters, so long as huge numbers of people insist on voting for the lesser evil. Huh...

Monk

Honestly, the idea that you are willing to play chicken with the immediate threat of fascism and risk Trump winning in some type of slippery slope/big picture/long game strategy to avoid the next Trump is so hilariously nonsensical and tone deaf to me that I don't know how to begin to address it.

Pretty sure my super conservative Aunt and Uncle do. They're super anti-immigrants (though they claim otherwise), and are Trump supporters. Many in my immediate family have considered cutting them off, but they live with my grandmother. I also like one of the two cousins

And Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. And the rollbacks to climate change and environmental policies, fair pay and safe workplace orders, FCC regulations and internet privacy, and plans to ramp up the war on drugs.

@DA - lol yes good point @aels - Thanks! But in that case, why even make it illegal? (Or why make it so hard for people to legally immigrate, for that matter?) It becomes pointless if you can choose between immigrating the hard but legal way or immigrating the easy but illegal way. What reasons wou...

Oy, wish there was something I could say. I'm sorry this is something you're dealing with. I've only been patted down once when I failed the metal detectors twice. I haven't been in the 10 years since, but I'm a fairly innocuous looking white guy US citizen. I think if you go through the airports wi...

The fact that she's working there isn't necessarily bad - she might genuinely enjoy it. That last paragraph though? Fuckin hell
