I'm sad all the time

I'm just happy the Brits, every now and then, are taking the pressure off us Americans for being the biggest shitshow country

When are you planning on undergoing this operation @"ArguingWAristotleTiff"

Nice, thanks Tiff

I'm too old for college girls

Nah SE is my girl. Dumb as bricks tho.

Elon Musk is proof that just because someone is rich, doesn't mean they are smart.

I mean like when it happened

Remember when gay marriage was legalized throughout the country that was awesome

And they say there are no funny conservatives

I saw James Hamblin in a restaurant in NYC earlier this year

There are two ways that climate change will pane out. The first, and most likely scenario, is that our inability to slow or stop climate change will s...

This has been on my radar for some time. Can you let me know what you think?

With ecological catastrophe on the horizon, I don't see how humanity will save itself if it doesn't transition to socialism.

Imagine thinking the GOP is a good thing for this country.

Except this is about as ludicrous a definition as saying Capitalism is "two people freely trading commodities". A more workable understanding of socia...

To be honest I didn't have any "breakthroughs" or epiphany or eureka moments. When I sobered up I quickly realized every sort of wild idea I had was s...

Lol property rights = ability to fire people for no reason. ok

I've dropped acid twice and it was an amazing experience both times.

If only conservatives cared about uncorroborated allegations that affect and ruin the lives of disenfranchised minorities as they did about Kavanaugh,...

At least this should be just another catalyst for a blue turnout

The ramifications of global warming within the next 80 years will be far more detrimental to civilization than the non-skeptic public understands.

"Denying it improperly" is a curious way to elide the fact that he was openly partisan, excessively indigent (which he just admitted in an op-ed in th...

As @"ssu" points out, Kavaugh's openly partisan conspiratorial outbursts are immediately disqualifying. Of course, nearly all judicial Supreme Court h...

lol what a fucking joke Hanover, jesus christ

Many views simply aren't respectable, of course; or they are just agonizingly myopic or unquestionably stupid. In fact, I would say one of the major p...

I mean is it surprising that a guy who publicly mocked a disabled reporter, called some people "low IQ", openly considers journalists to be the "enemy...

Instead of reading claptrap rags such as Quillette or anything from Peterson, Rubin, Shapiro, etc. who, as you note, just garble the same pseudo-intel...

From The New York Times:

Anyway, I think the Kavanugh debacle is starting to digress into territory similar to Trump's, where the lies just compound and compound until it's di...

Btw, it's absolutely vital that this is primarily framed as a job interview, rather than a trial. In any other position if the employer were to discov...

What the fuck are you talking about? You can't run on a platform for the midterms, after the midterms are over.

Gonna start Dracula by Bram Stoker tomorrow, because it's a S P O O K Y month

If they successfully delay the confirmation past November 6th, then there is no further platform to run on because the race is over...

I saw it, it was great.

You said that the Democrats are running on a single issue for midterms: "all the races a single issue on abortion." That's simply false.

Lol that's demonstrably not the case.

I don't doubt that's an adjacent objective, but it nevertheless takes a backseat to the fact that 1) the attempted rape allegation is credible and req...

From reports I've been reading, the FBI investigation will be extremely half-assed.

I like how the idea that Ford is an agent of Putin and that this is all a big Russian conspiracy is somehow more believable then the idea that a 17-ye...

Excellent, one of the dumbest things I've read all week, and there was some serious competitors. Congrats.

Yes, contemporaries in the area have confirmed that Kavanaugh lied about the definitions. You won't find 'devil's triangle' referring to a banal drink...

As I said in the last page, on the scale of who would likely be nominated and win, while being closest to my Leftist ideology, I would prefer Warren

My point is that ideological/political context matters greatly here.

Oh is Palin a democrat?

Trump's nomination, and a fortiori, his presidential win, emboldened and legitimized far-right forces. A women/PoC president would be the right step i...

It's the apotheosis of white male privilege.

Anyone who thinks Republicans will nominate a "moderate" Republican like Flake or Kasich in 2024, after voting in Trump and nearly nominating Cruz is ...

Not sure the population size of "red necks", but Obama was nevertheless voted in twice. Flake is popular with no one.

Anyway the last week, the previous two days in particular, has been utterly draining. Curious to see how next week will play out considering the FBI i...
