How about this as a compromise: all adults get to vote and the right to freedom of religion is unassailable. Why isn’t that on the table?

And all it took was eons of mass death.

Kids thinking anything goes while also being incredibly close-minded is not new.

Huh? He couldn’t have stopped her. This is nonsense.

What nonsense. This is great for Putin. There’s no American Isolation, USA has begun switching to the authoritarian side and is now directly moving against the democracies. Finland and Sweden were hardly worth it in trade.

US had and still may have bases on Greenland.

There is no constitutional crisis if the Supreme Court and Congress are in on it. We have a cabal of crooks that have captured all three branches.

She’s the only Republican with a spine. Not enough stop them.

arrogance, haughtiness, thinking of yourself as more important than others

These attitudes can cause people to step up when it’s needed.

The deadly sin of Pride is some made up bullcrap. Pride is as much a virtue as it is a vice.

Hardly. Almost all video games are pure sugar for the parts of our brains that want to succeed at something.

There’s plenty of games that are art, but you don’t typically need to spend 100s of hours to appreciate them as works of art.

After playing too many games for years, my belief is that even the best games falsely and too easily satisfy our need to succeed at something.

I used to be a gamer, I know they are bad for your brain.

Someone reported that he asked Obama what he’d give to name somebody, and Obama said Blago would “have his appreciation”.

Blago said “Fuck that I want money”. Reporter pointed out that he probably undervalued a president’s appreciation (plus he wouldn’t have gone to jail).

In this case she’s just on her phone.

My wife does the same thing, but she’ll also say an hour in “Brad Pitt is in this movie?” “Yes, dear, he’s the main character.”

You’d call most people who play chess “absolute beginners”. Most people would hang their king if they could and would never remember the stalemate rule until it was too late.

That’s only true because Kings can’t move into check. This is an unnecessary rule that, like stalemate, makes little difference to high level players, but is a bad rule for low level players.

They are an important part of the game, but they aren’t a good twist. If you got rid of stalemate, then the losing player would just resign. Nothing wrong with that in a game that’s effectively over.
