ToxicSlurpee posted:If memory serves it's actually 1/3 of coffee drinkers that drink it black. As the demographic gets older you get more black coffee drinkers. Even so, black coffee really isn't that uncommon of a thing. They're not the majority but the idea that there is a right or a wrong way to drink coffee is absurd. Some people like lattes, some people don't. I drink all of my coffee back and strong because that's the way I like it. Doesn't mean that people that like their coffee some other way are wrong. Also been known to enjoy an Americano from time to time. Still like lattes, though I'm slightly lactose intolerant so overconsumption can lead to bad times.

Am I the only one who found the results of the pot smoker study to be strangely low? Like only 14% thought that smoking weed made them feel good? The handle is stillblazingtho, I would have expected nearly all to share the sentiment.

Both these folks have chosen careers that are much more lucrative than following careers in the fields their degrees prepared them for.

They just need to start calling them what they are: refugees, and treating this as a humanitarian crisis that it is. As North Americans, we always hear about "refugees," but that's always been an "over there" concern about displacement of Asiatic, African, and European continental populations. To see it in North America may shatter some perceptions, because there's so far been no real news on why the Central American nations south of Mexico are in such a state (because it might link to Reagan's gently caress-ups for all we know).

Its my understanding that the busses had to turn around and take another route? If so, how in the hell did law enforcement let a bunch of assholes block a public road....especially one that goddamned homeland security personnel were traveling on? All of them should have been handcuffed, pepper sprayed, and maybe roughed up a little. I don't agree with it but a little consistency would be nice.

Yeah when white people do stuff and break the law in groups police arent as compelled to put them down. Especially since the same media machine that keeps them gined up would be quick to decry police brutality on their own audience.

I don't understand why the buses didn't just drive through, I doubt those protesting are ready to get run over for the cause. What a circus. It seems like any other type of protestor would have been dealt with much more harshly.

So yesterday I heard a lot of the anti-immigrant rage too. I was on a long car ride, so first I got the news, then I got the right wing radio hosts justifying it and then eventually the Limbaugh would-bes celebrating it. At the worst there was one guy raging about all the tuberculosis and leprosy he figures these kids have who was doing his best to paraphrase the 14 words without quite crossing the line. It was some really awful stuff. Cool thing is though, there was also an NPR piece where they tracked down a mayor at one of the towns in Texas that gets a hell of a lot more migrants than the town where the protesters made a scene. They sat down with the guy and he outlined what his town did when they realized they were having people get dropped off by immigration at bus stops with no where to sleep, no clear idea where they were going or any supplies. They set up volunteer greeters, involved Catholic charities to get people somewhere to sleep overnight, gave people three days rations since their bus trips can be quite long and even ended up coordinating with the border patrol so that they'd know when to expect large crowds. The guy doesn't come across as pro immigration at all, just as some one who recognized they had to do something and that people deserved better. Anyway, it was cool to hear a story on the subject that wasn't awful and it was a good reminder that not everyone is an rear end in a top hat. Oh, and don't read the comments.

In Asheville we have an old contaminated industrial site that folks have been working on trying to get cleaned up for 20 years. The company that used the site and dumped toxic waste on it has skirted doing anything about it since the beginning and I belief at this point NC's statute of limitations for such lawsuits has basically absolved CTS from liability. What's kind of funny about the whole thing is the other day there was a hearing in Congress where some of our local congressmen got to grill the EPA administrator. The funny framing was "well since the EPA can't immediately agree to clean this up what good are any new environmental regulations!!!". The local AM "Libertarian" douche was taking the same angle when commenting on it yesterday. It's bizarre but not shocking. It just seems so weird: A company ruined our environment! They can't be held accountable! If you are not going to fix it EPA why do we need more regulations! ....hmmph Here's the article: http://www.wlos.com/shared/news/features/top-stories/stories/wlos_nations-top-epa-official-hot-seat-16734.shtml I also like this: quote:Fellow Congressman Patrick McHenry is also a member of the Committee and attended today’s hearing. He took a different tone while asking McCarthy tough questions. At one point he asked the EPA Administrator, "From what we understand from CTS officials, and my constituents have heard from board members of that company, is they've asked and the quote is that ‘CTS is doing everything the EPA has asked them to do’ so there's a credibility problem for the EPA at stake here. What I urge you to do is to work through these issues and deal with that and to take action." "The company who destroyed the local environment say they've done everything you asked them to, so.... this is your fault...." Yeah dude, CTS is the go to source for reliable information about this issue. UFOTacoMan fucked around with this message at 15:27 on Jul 3, 2014 |

I wish I could find the transcript on this since my wife was the one that told me about it since she listens to right wing media just to check how crazy they are, but apparently Hannity went off on the whole Slenderman thing the other day and said it originated at a "horror site" called SomethingAwful. So between Beck and Hannity we're apparently a CIA front horror website.
