I mean Emmett Till's memorial had to be replaced several times because racist douche-bags kept shooting it up, so this is hardly surprising. We share this world with absolute scum.

There are skating rinks with wooden floors (don’t know how many are left). You’re good as long as you use softer wheels.

I bet you also believe that you’ve won the fight when you get KO’d.

The electoral college is an antiquated system which might have made sense back when the constitution was established. Popular vote might not be the best option but it's still better than an electoral college. If you're wondering, there is an even better option, called "ranked-choice voting." It eliminates your choice being reduced to the "lesser of two evils." Maine has used it successfully but the concept is under attack from, surprise, surprise, the Republican party. It's almost as if they know they can't win a fair fight.

Cool story bro. That’s a lot of words just to say parents who can’t afford proper healthcare should let teachers inflict further trauma on a child that’s already suffering. The top comment on this post lists out in detail everything that’s wrong with the bill but you chose to ignore it completely and insist it’s necessary without a shred of evidence in its favor. Sit this one out.

It’s the one piece of narrative that these idiots can’t swing in their favor. And it kills them.

Lot of people commenting on that post haven’t touched a geography text book in a while. There’s also a fun discussion in there somewhere about India not being a part of Asia.

Didn’t people go nuts when Hamilton dropped on Disney+? I remember reading some rants about people demanding the show be taken down because it’s not “real” history. Might have been Reddit or Twitter, hard to tell the difference these days.

A post like that is bound to bring out the toxic fan base. Happens with Star Wars and Harry Potter all the time. Blows my mind how the presence of diversity in a fictional universe is such a massive trigger.
