It was an SNL sketch I had in my head and the "on the nose" thing was apparent. The first draft it was kind of in the middle ground and @"T Clark" hel...
No, it was deduction since it discussed organ donation at some point. It wasn't surreal to me but magical realism; so it still had to be grounded in r...
I don't deny that any categories are exclusive but I guess that actual progress is to expand categories instead of creating newer and narrower ones. A...
What's up with Matt Gaetz? Can we now rest assured every time the democrats are accused of something ludicrous like a pedophile ring, it's projection ...
There's nothing so personal it seems than humour. I can see movies with bad or mediocre reviews on IMDB that I find hilarious. Writing something comed...
Yes, the stereotype grated on my nerves. I don't see how Ahmir could've lost from a street cat to the point where he's found (with bombs strapped to h...
I see everyone has the attention span of a fruit fly. While quite a few descriptions were unnecessary for the story, you just need to sit down and tak...

While there's plenty we could do better in the Netherlands, describing it as awful is a gross exaggeration. Healthcare outcomes are still superior to ...
It is very fruitful as it doesn't give space to zealots where their arguments are prima facie engaged as if they are rational, reasonable or acceptabl...
I don't understand why you bother. Bitty is a zealot, fully buying into pretending Israel is a victim. Even in light of obvious power imbalances and w...
I said let's not get into it. Focus on learning the basics of international law. You can start with looking up the genocide convention. I'm not intere...
For those actually not fanatical supporters of Israel and therefore lost causes both morally and politically, here's the Amnesty report on genocide by...
I'm not going to point to the definition of genocide for the fifth time in this thread. But you're wrong. Go look up the internationally agreed defini...
