They want to deport Vietnamese immigrants who came here before reestablishment of diplomatic ties in 1995:

SMOD was robbed in 2016.

Yeah, bad customer service is a thing certain lefties preen about in Canada and Europe as a sight of worker rights, right before they go back to griping about how everyone else around them is a far-right bastard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIqn06tIDwc Biggest truly red flag: it keeps harping on James Gunn's involvement—even though he's just a producer on it, not the director. It's also just terribly cliched-looking to me, even beyond the creepy-kid/possessed-kid stuff horror movies have been really big...

Even if you couldn't do so with the moon, could you start a fire with enough starlight , then? Personally, while the explanation made sense, I thought one of the whole points of using telescopes was that they made target objects, like low-magnitude stars, brighter. In principle, sure. But I can't e...

I have to admit, I think it's progress not to have three-quarters of the public think government almost always does the right thing. I'm not sure what I think about 18%, though. I wish a sane skepticism were on the table, but people seem to flip from total trust to total distrust at the drop of a ha...

Jennifer will become an old lady name in the coming years.

That's going to be deeply weird to my cohort.

Or maybe it will be like stereotypical old lady names in the past...

Clearly, I dimension-slipped here from the universe where propaganda was invented before 2016.

Information...war.

Tl;dr: while some examples of "I have a degree or two yet still can't find a job to support myself" are due entirely to poor decision-making, plenty more are not, and there's enough of them that I do indeed think there's an overall systemic problem: it's not purely a case of too many individuals ma...

Also, weird tangent: I've a few times run into European lefties online who went on about how minimum wage laws don't exist in Europe because unions negotiate minimum wages privately. Naturally, this is completely false, with most European countries having statutory minimum wages, but I wonder how s...

I add sugar and cream (half and half) to my coffee; Jeff adds only cream but no sugar to his.

A little spenda and cold water for me, at least if the coffee's decent. A tiny touch of half-and-half if not, since that's small enough not to bug my stomach much.

Weird thing about origin stories: for years, the most well-known superhero TV show, the 1966 Batman series, didn't really bother with any origin for Batman or Robin. "These guys fight weird crime in funny costumes. Go!" The closest was one episode where Bruce Wayne says he's set up a crime victim a...

I think the level of power concentration I'm aiming for obligates me to make it the Shemocratic People's Shempire of Shem, or SPSS. It's a tradition thing.

Stands to reason!

What really makes it is the name of the image.

Yes.

But it is well laid-out and far more nearly and straightly written than pretty much anything I've ever seen on a blackboard that wasn't at a coffee shop.

I shouldn't have snorted, but I did.

JasonL's gonna start watching Cute Girls Doing Cute Things anime any minute now... Kawaii voice makes me want to die. I have the same reaction; go for dubbed versions, then.

I'm at a loss for what Johnson is attempting to express in that first tweet, aside from incoherent hostility to the minimum wage, liberals, and poor people. But, last I checked, those other "inputs" Ocasio-Cortez mentions aren't given minimum prices by federal and state laws. (At most, their prices ...
