I want fewer voters, not more. Like maybe no votes for employees of any level of government. Or require that voters had to be born in the lower 48 and all parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were US citizens (tough luck for you, McCain and George Romney!). I'm willing to hear other creati...

There's no room for more states. In fact we've got too many now. We need to get rid of some. I propose redrawing the state lines as shown below. Alaska is still Alaska. Hawaii can be part of ISLAND state, we can throw Porto Rico, Guam, The Virgin Islands, whatever, in with it.

Well we damned sure don't need anymore states. There's no room for any more stars on the flag.

I think it's important to understand the actual ideas presented because they are useful in your own thinking - irrespective of how people use and abuse the language.

Yeah but I've got pr0n to download. If I'm going to dig into ideas, it ain't gonna be postmodernism.

The three parter on M Foucault on Philosophize This is pretty good. He gets at the key arguments and also why left and right keep getting them wrong. I've gone as deep into philosophy as I intend to (about two semesters worth). I'm not taking 90 minutes to deep dive into Foucault. If the man had so...

Holy crap. I did not see Kim going to the dark side until the moment she planted that one on Jimmy. Totally buy it. Completely fits the story thus far. Explains a lot actually. But it begs the question, if Kim is wearing the ring of power, where does she go? Prison?

When people can vote you out and you actually leave even though you have a military command, that's big thing. Yes. This is pretty much the last "This is what makes America great" that I'm hanging on to. The high rate of contractual adherence. High-trust societies ftw, which is one of the reasons I...

How the octopus got its smarts Long article on cephalopod neurology. I found the opening quite amusing. In 2008 the staff at Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany, had a mystery on their hands. Two mornings in a row, they had arrived at work to find the aquarium eerily silent: the entire electrical ...

Don't worry, the SPLC's "Hatewatch Team" is on the case. https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018/09/20/cody-wilson-lam-1-million-bitcoin Notorious crypto-anarchist and antigovernment extremist Cody Rutledge Wilson.... :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: What's with the eyerolls?

a 3D-printed handgun made of plastic, the same material used in Lego blocks I hope they meant that it's the exact same type of plastic used in Legos. Because otherwise that's needless sensationalizing. Material science is not my strong suit, but I'd be surprised if it's the same plastic. Legos are ...

Everybody was cheating the system, nobody got punished, and nobody really suffered. Something like 850,000 families lost their homes. I'd say that's a pretty severe punishment, especially when you consider that the houses reverted to people who were just as guilty for them to sell off once the mark...

I've never understood "bromance" to be implying the dudes are actually gay for each other (or even subconsciously gay for each other). It is a bit of a mocking term, or just a term to imply "look how unusual that is!" -- which does underscore the fact that it's seen as a bit weird for two dudes to ...

The inability to grasp the fundamental nature of "more" is the product of willful shallowness.

Despite Trump's best efforts, I still don't feel bad for Jeff Sessions. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-sessions/sessions-limits-u-s-judges-ability-to-dismiss-deportation-cases-idUSKCN1LZ2TG I've been thinking more and more that this is really just a PUA neg game.

I really like the size of the baskets. They're not full width, but if they were they wouldn't pull out all the way for the door jam. And there's room for large boxes and jars along side. What's great is they're exactly full depth, they go back all the way to the wall. That was the thing about these ...

Wasn’t “he’s my roommate” the tradition way to conceal a homosexual relationship? This is uncle Bert’s ‘friend’ Ernie.

It's true though. Heterosexual guys use to be able to form deep friendships that isn't really possible anymore.

Ellie inspired me to organize our pantry*. She even alerted me to a sale on the Elfa Mesh Easy Gliders.

I've been musing over Jimmy and Kim's inevitable breakup for some time. This week looked like it was just going to happen. They grew apart as we knew they must. But then Jimmy comes to her in full Saul mode and she takes the case to save him from himself. Right up to the last line where she's going ...

The economic equality thing was present but the big thing was this idea that you should have to debase yourself for a wage - change t...
