When Trump does it, he's punishing his rivals.

Biden has offered aid to every state that has been affected.

But yes...BoTh SiDe ArE tHe SaMe

I have a house and a pretty sizable retirement account.

I will GLADLY take a lower home value, higher taxes on my retirement, higher taxes in general, so long as the ultra wealthy are also taxed accordingly.

Did I miss something? What Republican plan? I've always heard that it's Two Weeks™ away from being released.

Fwiw there are a large number of people who volunteer their time and effort toward worthwhile projects. It's just they don't get rewarded anywhere near the level of benefit that they provide.

I sort of get it. You don't want to allow the entire work of Shakespeare in the text field, even if your database can handle it.

16 characters is too low. I'd say a good upper limit would be 100, maybe 255 if you're feeling generous.

I've never heard this guy talk so hearing his voice...

I mean, I'm not saying that I've ever talked to a couch fucker but....yeah, the voice sort of says couch fucker.

I'll just wait for John Oliver to give me a run down on the next episode of Sad Things told by a Comedian so You Can Feel Briefly Good Before Crying Yourself to Sleep.

In my very limited experience, the one characteristic that seems pretty universal to incels is the inability to have casual, no pressure small talk with anyone, especially with those of the opposite gender (or whatever gender you like).

Small talk is a skill like anything else. It must be practiced and honed. The easiest way to do this is just by being interested in what the person is saying. You don't have to be funny or quippy. Just be curious about their life and you'll find that most of small talk is just being able to go back and forth about a topic.

I just listened to a Behind the Bastards episode where basically....yeah, that's been the prevailing theory.

Why edit it out? His base isn't going to care. And even if they did, fox controls the narrative. "It was just locker room talk."

Car manufacturers and oil producers have a vested interest in making bikes, ev bikes in particular, illegal.

Basically the same playbook that Henry Ford used to make cities less walkable.

I demand:

  • Studios have exclusive rights to their respective works for 2 years, after which time they are required to license it to their competitors for "at cost" fees, similar to pole easements for cable/electric companies.
  • Public Domain is reverted to 25 years after publishing
  • Fan Fiction is added as a "free use" exception

If we had better politicians, these threats from the MPAA would amount to just whining.
