Blip in the matrix. ;)

It looked like that for sure.

Thought I saw a video of him walking pre-shooting with a stiff leg limp like he had a rifle down his pants.

Fair point. 🤪 I’m all for real debate on actual facts. Hell, I often present a position different than that in which I believe. The only way we ever get better, and smarter, is if we are willing to hear the other side and humanize them instead of demonize them.

Facts matter. We can’t have honest debate if we aren’t willing to consider facts. A gun has about 25% of the chance of being involved in a death as a car…and we intentionally give 16 year olds cars!

Let’s take a look at the numbers. For every one gun in the US last year, there was 0.000033152 death (not counting suicides because trying to regulate methods of suicide is a fool’s game). Comparatively, for every one car in the US last year, there was 0.000131589 death. So, as a “thing”, a...

I understand, and I respect everyone’s right to have their own opinions. But here’s the thing…there have always been, and will always be, sick and crazy individuals from all walks of life who do really horrific shit in the name of religion, politics, racism…whatever. The rest of us normal...

Interesting. I read that and have a different reaction. While I give him some grace because today’s events were horrific and unnecessary, I cannot support the position that the people of this country are so different that they cannot coexist and therefore must choose a side for a necessary war...

Does the arm pick it up, look at it, drop it, try to vacuum it up, pick it up again, look at it…repeat? (That’s how I vacuum)

If one of those people worked for my company, I would personally bring them into my office to be terminated. (And I’d do the same if a conservative employee reveled in the assassination of a left leaning political commentator). There is no place (in my version of what this nation is supposed to...

Not gonna lie, that actually made me laugh out loud. 🤣

100%. The first question is do you think those statistics would be better or worse if the only property taxes used to fund public education were those received from landowners with school aged children? The second question is do you believe you personally receive any benefit from having...

Can’t control to whom you are born and I haven’t met many 6-18 year olds trying to be like Alex P. Keaton. I’d be surprised if 80% of the kid population would learn how to read and do basic math if it wasn’t for the public school system (even as broken as it is in some states). Most parents...

Basque Air BnB?

So why not completely privatize education? Let individual parents buy the K-12 education they can afford. If they can’t afford anything or can only afford K-3, who cares? If there is one thing society could use more of, it’s window lickers. Plus, there is no way it would make class disparity...
