Most of the things the author rails against are features of our republic, rather than bugs. Our nation would not exist if the little guys like Rhode Island weren’t guaranteed a place at the bargaining table.

CRT is not the correct way to interface with the United State’s checkered past. Human history is a horror show. It is up to us to live ethically. Segregating schools into a race-based dichotomy of oppressor/oppressed will not accomplis

No he shouldn’t. Why even have a talk show if some things are verboten?

I doubt any of the laughs are provoked by verbal ‘jokes.’ But rats are very smart, and play (wrestle) around with each other. It’s probably not too different from kids giggling as they engage in rough and tumble play.

Not sure why this was almost immediately flagged- maybe the self promotion? The topic seems interesting.

You act like that is the only possible infectious agent. In addition to Trichinosis, Taenia solium and Toxoplasma gondii are also spread in undercooked pork- and those are modern health concerns. The animal eats almost anything and is capab

Or the avoidance of pork- it’s distressingly easy to pick up parasites from consuming pork.

The only reason our nation exists is because of the agreements made between large and small states. Rhode Island was not interested in being completely politically eclipsed by New York, and rightly so. Tyranny of the majority is still tyran

Supporting the US over China’s regressive regime hardly requires jingoism.

Because right now the system is skewed too far the other direction. Fair use is ignored and corporate interests are allowed to step on small innocent creators like cockroaches.

This is hardly sadism. If you can buy alcohol with food coupons you are not bettering disenfranchised people’s lives.

I mean, ‘the Patriarchy’ is the old chestnut explanation for most societal ills. Any evidence that it was corrupt old white men? The banks are bowing to external pressure and I am not convinced those voices are the ones necessarily represen

Your post is set up like a straw man, but let’s just take the ‘children are being sexually kidnapped/tortured’ pizza gate thing as an example. It’s absurd, but guys like Jeffrey Epstein exist. And I think we can all agree something ver

Because exceptions don’t form habits? I don’t get my kids presents constantly, but I will on Christmas. There is also a pretty clear difference between watching miracle on 34th street vs whatever schlock happens to be on.

Anytime anyone expresses a thought critical of China, it inevitably provokes whataboutisms. It’s not a particularly compelling argument, about on the level of a guilty chid complaining about other kids not getting punished. I think a proper

I agree about the tone. Even if the guy has legitimate grievances, it reads like a crazy person wrote it. Each of these encounters seems to result ever increasing incidents of harassment and abuse, but those allegations of abuse are also va

Seems like an appeal to nature fallacy. If humans are ensuring that the plants reproduce, you don’t need to ‘set the dial lower.’ Almost all of our fruits and vegetables provide more nourishment than their naturally occurring counterparts.

Pretty sure that is referring to political power rather than sustainable energy. I don’t think there is a direct link between energy efficiency and moral deficiency.

I’m not fine with it, and Amazon’s practices are gross. I wish we as a global community would put more pressure on China rather than turn a blind eye towards their more heinous acts. Avoiding buying Chinese goods seems almost impossible, we
