- Comment on Pete Buttigieg Says He Was Separated From His Children After ‘Swatting’ Tip 2 weeks ago:
If there’s no evidence beyond an anonymous tip, this is the wrong response. Make enough anonymous tips, and every kid in America could be required to sit for an interview, over and over.
- Comment on FEMA Official Who Claimed He Once Teleported to a Waffle House Is Leaving 2 weeks ago:
FEMA should offer this man a raise and try to keep him. Teleportation could be a valuable tool in an emergency!
- Comment on Pete Buttigieg Says He Was Separated From His Children After ‘Swatting’ Tip 2 weeks ago:
That night, the twins slept at their grandparents’ house. The authorities required them to sit alone for the interviews with the CPS workers, as is common during such investigations.
Being forced to “sit alone” with CPS staffers is pretty rough for a kid, and if CPS “requires” it without first requiring some damned evidence, that’s a form of child abuse.
- Comment on Supreme Court bars lawsuit after prison guards shaved inmate’s dreadlocks 2 weeks ago:
When Mr. Landor reported for a five-month sentence for drug possession in Louisiana, he had not cut his hair for almost two decades, in keeping with his faith. His dreadlocks fell nearly to his knees.
Four months into his term, in 2020, he was transferred to a new prison. He carried with him a copy of a 2017 legal opinion that held that inmates must be allowed to keep their dreadlocks under a federal law protecting prisoners’ religious freedom.
When he pulled out a copy of that decision, a guard threw it in the trash, according to court documents he filed in a later lawsuit.
Two guards then handcuffed Mr. Landor to a chair and forcibly shaved him bald.
Six of nine on the Supreme Court belong on the other side of the courtroom.
- Comment on ‘The View’ asks its audience for help in battle with FCC 2 weeks ago:
This is surreal — The View is inane chitchat that barely qualifies as journalism, but Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar are too edgy for Trump & the Republicans.

Raw, but I love it.

Ah, just a bunch of books for pointy-headed scientists. Murica don’t need no science anyhow.

What didn’t he blurt?

Holy crapoli, the memories this triggers. Suffice to say I am soooooo glad to be retired.

I ain’t arguing.
- Comment on Gave him an offer, then took it away. Thanks PayPal. 1 year ago:
I don’t want to kick the original author while they’re down, but PayPal is a known shit company, and has been almost from the start. It’s closely related to the leopards-ate-my-face phenomenon — if you’re willing to work for a shit company, expect shit.

Thanks for a quick & helpful answer!
- Comment on In Speech to Justice Dept., Trump Airs Grievances Against His Enemies 1 year ago:
This New York Times coverage is journalistic malpractice. Trump threatened to jail his political opponents, and it went unmentioned by the nation’s newspaper of record.
Here’s somewhat better coverage from Politico: https://archive.ph/vzzys
- Comment on Friday is a boycot day of online retailers. I saw this from CPUSA. 1 year ago:
Harshly said, but correct. A one-day change in spending is piffle. Anyone participating in this is participating in piffle. Make a serious, long-term change in your spending patterns and it might, arguably, add up to something, but this is … I don’t even know what this is, but I’m not doing it.
- Comment on Jamie Dimon popped off at the 1,200+ JPMorgan employees fighting against full-time RTO: 'I don’t care how many people sign that petition' 1 year ago:
You know, there’s a lot going on in the world, and for me, it’s hard giving a damn about people who’ve decided JPMorganChase is the career they want.

Also the website. And presumably, OP.

- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 1 year ago:
Also (sorry, but old guy here) the nozzle sometimes unexpectedly sprays sideways. It’s no worry if you’re sitting down, but if you’re standing up you might’ve just wet your pants… or the pants of the unlucky schmoe at the neighboring urinal.
- Comment on Why Trump Is Lying About Disaster Relief 1 year ago:
Sorry and it’s nothing personal, @silence7, but after years of Trump and tens of thousands of his lies, the answer seems so obvious it’s not worth a click. He lies because he lies because he lies.
