@HighlightPlanet@DaniellaMazzio I pay taxes on gasoline, I pay income and sales taxes part of which go towards road construction, I pay fees to the DMV for my registration and license, I pay tolls - I want no traffic jams ever, especially at rush hour. not "a few" but *none.*

@40sumthing3@WomenBeingAwful If nobody at the bar speaks with her, and she chooses to drive home (while very drunk), and hits someone with her car... should she be charged with DUI? Is she responsible for her actions? Can she have "consented" to driving? Did she "willingly engage" in harming/killing someone?
@RandomLurker111@chas_swim_mom@Lurker01234 Sure, 3 white boys "physically dragging" a black boy would have gone over really well. They were leaving, either Nolan didn't want to or wasn't able to be found. Sounds like there were plenty of other acquaintances around to ferry people back to the mainland.
@RBReich The annoyance is the point. To everyone saying he's wrong, inaccurate, missing context - that is the point. To frustrate, to enrage. To get you to ask, how much would it cost for you to shut up about this forever? And the moment you pay up, he doubles down and demands more.
@RoKhanna@elonmusk@EleanorClift@MarkHalperin Dude, you're the elected representative! It's your 5th term! Get it fucking done!
This has nothing to do with "values", and everything to do with you and your colleagues' inability to draft a passable bill while you're all too afraid of pissing off the healthcare lobbyists.
@RoKhanna@elonmusk@JoeBiden How are you actually in Congress when your political instincts are so awful? This isnt the 50's, factories arent opening up everywhere. The American public is wise enough to recognize politicians don't create ANY jobs, companies do. And it likes to vote for leaders, not whiners!
@zami_anu@AnthonyNAguirre Predictive model of *language*, not of the subject domain. The same methodology for a hard-science physics question or a soft-science sociology one.
@jc_bradbury What terrible advice. Hard Rock Cafe is global because people from nearly every part of the globe can eat comfortably there. They want the t-shirt people will recognize back home. These are aspirational destinations for large swaths of humanity. Not a freaking record store!
@gothamhiphop Didn't we retire "with ball knowledge" a while ago? Besides sounding stupid and cliche, it has zero effectiveness as a filter among people who reply.
@noback_TK@ebitmom I dont know what happened in your life to make you want to embrace a victim mentality - but latching on to a fake disability so "wtf am I supposed to do" becomes your personal mantra is absolute beta/cuck/simp/loser behavior that no healthy woman wants to be around.
Comics Unleashed is a far better late-night show than Colbert. It's actually much closer to Johnny Carson and others than Colbert ever was. The host sets up guests with predetermined, leading questions and the guests land their punchlines.
@JuicySteen@ThisThirsty@SeinfeldTV@seincast Larry David, with all that energy and excitement and physicality, is about 9 months older today, than Biden was at his inauguration.

@feelsdesperate Nobody today under 40, maybe 35, is partially assimilated. TV initially started creating a monoculture but social media has greatly amplified it. You dont have to ever step foot in America to fully immerse yourself in your choice of US culture - black, WASP, redneck, bougie, etc
@danspence2006@VitalVegas Lol. Murders, beatings, straight-up theft, that's some cool shit! Lets build a museum for it! Some consensual, compensated sexual relations between adults, "indefensible." 🙄 The mob put people in the ground, ruined families, intimidated everyone - oh, plenty of sex crimes too.
@vercinyc@sull1vannolan A fundamental mistake. Diversity is not the answer to everything, it's actually *un*popular. Minorities, immune to criticism regarding exclusivity or privilege, overwhelmingly choose to socialize with their own. Do you think the fraternal organizations you lionize were diverse?
@EdTapia@adamcarolla You realize being a mayor isnt the same as being, say, an electrician or car mechanic requiring specific, niche skills? Just instill pride and a bit of oversight - govt will start doing basic things like clean up, stop spending money indiscriminately & have firemen put out fires.
