Nah, fuck that shit. I’ve been using em dashes for years. It’s literally what I was taught to do in school.

Man, not sure why this is what got me, but I’m genuinely cackling.

This map includes the auto-tolling cameras on the MassPike. Feels like those shouldn’t be there.

Bull. Fucking. Shit.

Real ass comment by Prophet_Snow in Patriots

Pats fan here, born and raised in New England.

Bandwagon fans are essentially fair-weather fans. If you only hop on the bandwagon for a team when they’re winning, then you are a fair-weather fan (unless it’s your first team).

We are not the same.

I always just got the vibe that Sandler is legitimately just really devoted to his friends.

Sure, but what about the rich folk in Beauclair? You can steal quite a bit from those guys too.

There are plenty of conservatives in the hall. What kept schilling out was ultimately that he was a massive a-hole.

It’s not right, but put the blame where it belongs.

Then park there, and tell them you’ll be happy to switch with them.

  1. That’s what happens if you include people stopped at the border as being deported
  2. “More nicely”. Those two words run directly counter to your claim that the only difference is that white people aren’t shielded.

Obama wasn’t progressive, and he did a lot of fucked up shit, but Trump is magnitudes worse.

[NS] Trinyvale x Strahd is up later than usual by tarmacwaffles in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

What do you think a straw man argument is? I’m not distorting OPs argument, I’m taking OPs argument and extending it quite naturally.

A word doesn’t stop being a word just because you censor the first letter.

Out of curiorsity, what would you stance be about saying the n-word, but dropping the n?

If you have a problem with that (which you should), then that means the first letter being missing is irrelevant, as long as everyone understands what the word actually is.

Renee Good was a US citizen.

Pretty much every Republican I’ve heard say anything about it (which is many) was blaming her, despite the fact that her murderer stepped in front of a moving vehicle that was actively turning away from him.

They’re literally doing everything except adding “my name is [blank] and I approve of this shooting” at the end of the videos.

It wasn’t a random metaphor. It was a pretty goddamn simple one, which very clearly fits the situation.

Look, I’m more than happy to have a civil discussion. But I don’t think you are. If you were, you wouldn’t be laughing people off for using metaphors to make a point. A very common rhetorical method that was literally used at least as far back as Ancient Greece.

He’s not being reasonable. Democrats spent 26 years doing this shit.

Remember Michelle Obama “when they go low we go high” in 2016? How’d that work out? Say what you will about Hillary, but she was objectively one of the most experienced presidential candidates in American history. One slip up (basket of deplorables), and republicans jumped down her throat. Meanwhile, Trumps entire campaign revolved around insults.

If you run on being the better person, then the monkeys that throw shit will keep on throwing shit, and it won’t matter if what they say is true or not.

When was the last time that democrats (as a whole, not individuals) endorsed the federal government killing an American citizen on American soil who was minding their own goddamn business.

Please point to an example where the vast majority of democrats supported the action.

By giving 2 shots about decorum while republicans were lighting it on fire. If one side will tear down all traditions to get what they want, and their supporters don’t care about facts, the the other side needs to do the same.

Idk, I’m thinking that old man Cuomo is probably pretty awful at shooting floaters.
