Also, improving sex education and access to contraceptives would almost certainly reduce the number of poor Black (which I’m about 100.2% certain is what he means by “low IQ”) children being born, but I doubt he’s in favour of that either…

No. Happier employees almost always do make the line go up in the long term, but most employers don’t understand that, can’t look further ahead than the next quarter, and think of an employee is happy it’s a sign they must be slacking off.


did you win the birth lottery and get handed a pile of money like me tho
FTFY

MI-13? That’s almost MS-13! Bake him away toys!


“The arrest of Bishop Barber feels like the most clear example of hypocrisy of the Trump administration when they talk about anti-Christian bias,” Raushenbush said. “They are not interested in the broad expression of faith as exemplified by Bishop Barber, but rather only Christians approved of by the Trump administration.”
White Christian nationalism.
If Jesus came to America today, he’d be crucified by those claiming to follow him…


So what actions have you taken? “Not supporting” can be pretty fucking passive, and I for one will absolutely keep lumping you in with the other assholes until it upsets you enough to do more than whine on the Internet about it.


Fuckin’ seriously. I said half a year ago that a potential silver lining to Trump winning might be galvanising us to vote against PP, and it looks like that’s pretty likely to happen, so thanks, Trump, for one uplifting bit in your otherwise awful tenure.


Fuckin’ seriously. I’ve got friends who are like “I wouldn’t even consider an electric car until they have 1000 miles of range and can charge in fifteen minutes,” like bruh, you make two road trips a year and have four kids; even if we pretend you weren’t a two car family that takes the minivan anyway when you’re traveling, there’s no way your kids are making it a quarter of the range you “need” without stopping.


It was so incredibly sad, Natalie Portman died of sadness. I always thought that sort of thing was reserved for people who lost their spouse of fifty years, and kind of really only worked because they were super old anyway.
I dunno why Anakin didn’t just bail on the whole Jedi thing after they told him he couldn’t be with Padme. It’s not like his Force powers were dependant on an active membership or something; he could’ve just quit, married his smoking hot Senator wife without having to hide it, and remained her personal bodyguard without all the control and manipulation from the Jedi.
Pretty fuckin’ stupid too how he sided with Palpatine when he was Force lightning-ing Mace Windu and Mace was merely defending himself with his lightsaber, though I can kind of understand how he’d reached a breaking point. But then, he’s just like “In for a penny, in for a pound, I guess I’m completely evil now” and goes to kill a bunch of children, many of whom he probably not only knew but likely participated to some extent in their training… that’s even lazier storytelling than “Somehow, Palpatine returned.”
Oh yeah, gotta give a shout out to “You can’t win, I have the high ground!” coming from the guy who defeated Darth Maul while he had the high ground. Fuckin’ brilliant.
One of my favourite things is how the prequel trilogy very justifiably got shat all over in the years following its release, until comparatively recently when the Internet just collectively decided that it was actually really good and people only claimed to dislike it because they thought it was cool to hate.


From the outside, it actually kinda looks like you’re an entire civil war away from the next election…


Hope you like Cheeto Benito and his policy of also “keep arming Israel” plus embracing literal fascism.


Weren’t Jews required to carry their papers at all times in 1930s Germany?


I think we should help him fulfill his dream of going to Mars.


That’s cool and all, but the most law enforcement would be able to get from probably three quarters of printers in existence is something like “this was part of a lot shipped to Staples’ Arizona warehouse in the third quarter of 2016.” Really narrows it down…


The thing I never managed to understand is, if COVID actually was leaked from a Chinese lab - and especially if it were being intentionally developed as a bioweapon - why would that make right wing dipshits less likely to treat it as a legitimate threat? Did their general distrust of all things “science” and anyone with a university education lead them to believe a lab grown virus would be far less potent than one that evolved in the wild?


That comparison is way off. Plain text works out to about 677,000 pages per gigabyte and regular printer paper is alot 0.1 mm thick, so 10 GB of data - 6.7 million pages - would make a stack of paper two thirds of a kilometre high.
Even if we’re talking image files of scanned text, you’re in the neighborhood of 15,000 pages per gigabyte which is probably in the neighborhood of an encyclopedia set, making 10 GB roughly equal to ten encyclopedia sets…


Well, y’all have that whole second amendment, don’t you?


Seriously. Back when I was a kid, mild autism was “just a slightly weird kid” and severe autism was “mentally retarded” and lumped in with the kids who had Down’s Syndrome, severe ADHD, FAS, and a host of other mental issues.
Seriously. Red states about to get a lot of even cheaper real estate…
