Ignore the racists. Their lives are empty and devoid of meaning or purpose, so they fill that emptiness by using the only thing they feel has any value to look down on people: their skin color.

When all you've got is your skin color to feel superior to someone, you're a special kind of shitty human being, you're a racist.

So who gives a fuck what a racist thinks. Ignore them and know that they are likely deeply, deeply miserable inside.

It's even worse than that.

He stole a liver transplant from someone at the top of the list, and then died a few months later. He wasn't even a candidate, he was terminal at that point, but he did it anyway to try and give himself a few more months to live, while likely killing someone else who needed that liver much more.

Not as much as you'd think. They shifted their positions largely to cash a while back.

There's a lot more liberals there than you'd think, but they assume they're outnumbered by conservatives.

They're wrong, but that's how voter suppression works

Why not just carry and air siren and bear spray? I don't understand the problem this solves.

By building a second casino down the street so they would compete with each other and both end in bankruptcy.

Illusions, Michael. Tricks are things hookers do for money. ... Or candy!

Sure, but speaking as someone with a lot of knowledge of IT systems, RPO, RTO, etc., I can say that the RPO of deleting your accounts gets worse and worse for the NSA or whoever to keep track of as time goes on.

They're not the internet archive where they've got snapshots of all text ever said on the web. They've got crawlers and systems and storage tiers same as anyone else. They have to cycle those backups of their snapshots at some point, and that's when you can eventually slide your way out of their window as long as the things you've said or done are no longer on the internet anywhere. They will eventually disappear from databases and systems like PRISM.
