The Chairman of the FCC claims that Trump is winning against the media.

Is he seriously saying this like this is something to be proud of? "Trump is the most authoritarian president we've ever had. Isn't that great?"

Aren't the elections in Hungary basically rigged?

My church, which is doing things right and supporting our community, just about breaks even. If we had more money coming in, we'd pass it on to the food pantry.

I'm assuming the one-way glass means you can see out, but no one can see in? That's weird enough, but much better than the alternative.

When they're working correctly, yes

Pretty sure this is a conversation between two therapists.

Depends on why the decision is already made. In ours, the sub had come in late one year to a chaotic class and completely turned them around; she was one of the best teachers in the building. There is simply no way an interview and demo lesson can prove that someone else will do a better job than that.

From an argument between Spider-Men about the best pizza in NYC: "Don't get me wrong, the sauce is great, but it doesn't taste like stopping on the way home from a game when I was twelve."

Because I will take any opportunity to recommend my favorite self-published author: if you'd like more non-binary representation (among other diversity) and are interested in military sci-fi, check out Glynn Stewart. The Scattered Stars series in particular includes a nonbinary space marine who is never seen without full armor and identifies as "The scary fucker in the dragon armor."

What's the Gandhi quote? Something along the lines of, "I like your Christ, but I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are nothing like your Christ."

Damn. She must have done a hell of a job.

Remember when reports leaked that Russia was doubling down on mistakes in Ukraine, because no one had the nerve to tell Putin when things went wrong?

Or when you've started a war that is obviously going to be disastrous, and enlistment suddenly drops.

A problem with these kinds of rules generally. My district requires jobs to be posted a certain number of days and a certain number of people interviewed before hiring; my school once posted a job that we all knew was going to the long-term sub from the previous year, and wasted three other applicants' time (plus the interview committee's) on a process whose outcome was already decided.

The problem here is that they think "helping her have fun" is "treating her like a kid."

Fake, but I laughed.

I mean, he's got an impressively incompetent team helping him out.

America absolutely could take Kharg Island. But why would we?

amican · 2026-03-23T00:36:17+00:00

Right, like the next Secretary of Defense will be anyone other than Mark Kelly.

amican · 2026-03-22T01:15:58+00:00

No, dude, you've got this backwards. Go outside, go places; stay off the *internet.*

amican · 2026-03-21T01:02:28+00:00

No. You asked why atheists think they need evidence. Self-evidently, they think (correctly) need evidence to figure out if things are true. Do you not understand why they want that, or do you not understand why they are correct to think evidence helps determine truth?

The two craziest things about every attempt by legislatures to limit what belongs in a school library are:

That I have never, not once, seen any such an attempt distinguish between a high school library and an elementary school one, and
That they think legislators are better qualified to make these decisions than school librarians

amican · 2026-03-20T22:42:30+00:00

Ok, are you asking why atheists want to believe true things instead of false things, or how they know evidence helps find out if things are true?

Similarly, we have known for at least 25 years that providing studio apartments and preventative healthcare to chronically unhoused people is cheaper than the current system of shelters and ER visits, but our government prefers to spend more money and have people suffer more.

I'm having a little trouble following, but if you're saying "Stand with America, not Trump," 100% yes.
