A few of them held up signs and some were kicked out. Yes, actually - some of our legislatures were removed from the premises for silently protesting!

Having confidence in the polices ability to be police doesn't mean you like cops. I'm confident that police are quite good at their jobs, because we don't measure "good" by how little people get hurt or killed in th

Close to all used car seats have never been in a crash. I think you're underestimating how ignorant to this the average person is.

I don't think it makes a difference. Spying through your microphone ala 1960's FBI wiretap is not worse than reading credit card history, location data, google searches, etc. Sure, it sounds more spooky, but probably they would ha

I'm not sure this is true. I buy used stuff all the time, even though I can afford new stuff. All my clothes are second-hand. The reason I do that is because I can ascertain the quality of the clothing and determine that, despite them

Pretty much all of forensics isn't real. Blood splatter analysis, polygraphs, fingerprinting. That doesn't mean it doesn't put people in jail.

This is simply not true. If you turn on Fox News or even listen to the current administration talk, they are talking about transgender people. Hell, Ted Cruz ran an ad depicting transgender children as big burly men who want to hurt YOUR da

Cars are not your legs, the analogy doesn't work. Cars are a good that you buy in order to live your life. If you could also live your life without a car, that would be better for you. Yes, you, personally. In fact everyone who drives.

They’re not idiots, they just value fairness over absolutely prosperity. The reason is because of the US’ individualistic attitudes. It’s been around since the formation of our country.

The idea that driving a car increases freedoms is a uniquely American ideal. It doesn’t, it does the opposite. It pushes everything further away which means you no longer have the freedom to not have a car. It, quite literally, redesigns ou

Yes, and this goes for a lot of things. You can sue even if the other person was really clever. I mean, these are like, 12 year old boy logic. "Ahh I'm not touching you!" while they wave their hand in your face. That doesn&#x

While it's true that these posts are political, our political climate is in a unique situation. You can no longer avoid politics, regardless of how much you hide. Even we, who are fairly wealthy techies, can no longer turn a blind eye.

> This isn't a consequence of capitalism. Yes, it is. The fact we have welfare isn't a refutation of that, it's proof. The welfare is a bandaid over the fundamental flaws of capitalism. A purely capitalist system is so evi

Most Americans don’t care for someone put together. That’s interpreted as pretentious. They want someone a bit stupid, who says stupid things. They want someone who’s an asshole because asshole is basically synonymous with badass protagonis

> For me it simply doesn't pass the laugh test that a trans woman with a penis could walk into a nude spa in the 1970s, 1980s, or 1990s without anyone batting an eye. They weren't, and they still aren't. The idea that tran

While these sub-ideologies did exist, they were fringe. This is now a primary issue for conservatives and it has been brought into the zeitgeist and their political platforms. That is different. Most, close to all, conservatives were not co

There are children who are transgender today and they're not changing in front of other's. I don't know where this delusional that dudes are just hanging brain around women is coming from. You're right, that doesn't

I have, of course, been in Men's rooms. In my experiences in Men's rooms, I have seen remarkably few penises. These transgender people did not suddenly pop out of nowhere. For context, I know several trans women who are in their 5

To be blunt, your perspective does not align with reality. The reality is that transgender Americans have been doing these things, all these things, for many decades. And nobody, and I do mean nobody, cared. Ultimately you are not inspectin

Except almost none of these cases are given due process, so we're just meant to believe them. It's trivial to say people are terrorists or gang members or whatever, doing it in court is hard. That's why they don't.

In my experience during this last Trump campaign, the most effective way to rile conservatives is not to lie, but rather to tell the truth. Meaning, taking Trump at his word and repeating the words he said, in direct quotes. I think what&#x

People say this about Linux but it’s not been my experience. Granted I’m 10 years deep now, but everything just works always and is exactly how I like it. Even basic things like menus changing doesn’t happen on Debian. I’m good to go. Windo
