I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

I currently make my coffee by putting a reusable filter in a large measuring cup, pouring boiling water over it, leaving it long enough that it looks like it's brewed enough, then drinking it out of said measuring cup.

I don't think I'm qualified to comment on coffee quality right now.

Dude, it's not the coffee that is like an unwashed sock. The implication is that it is filtered by an old gym sock. Like just picture someone taking a dingy old tube sock and pouring coffee grounds into it

Yes. My mom did something like this in the 80s but with $1 scratch off lottery tickets. She seemed to have a pretty steady flow of them coming in for a while, too.

Then again she and her friends were just doing it for fun, not to get rich or anything.

Sure it does. What you do is you send them to one person, they go "cool, I got a bunch of books", which encourages more people to send you books, which enables you to send more people their books. After a while, lots of people are posting "sweet, I got a ton of books" and even more people are sending you books.

And then you take all those books and vanish.

I went to law school with people who argued this poo poo in class. I also went to law school with a woman who had Scalia's photograph printed out and pasted on all her school supplies. I don't know why I'd be surprised by that, since this was where people routinely stole books from the library to prevent other people from studying and scoring higher on the idiotic law school curve. Law school is the worst for "gently caress you, got mine" types.

If it's any consolation unless things have changed in the last few years, they're going to be in for a really nasty surprise when they get out of law school and try to actually launch a career.

I'm C, don't know B, and A is pretty much just a complete idiot. I'm still not entirely sure what his point is, but it seems like a mix of concern trolling and "THE REAL RACISTS!"


Full initial post since it got cut off:

quote:

Frankly, I think some over zealous person just decided one day that "redskin" had to be an offensive term. If it was so offensive why would someone name their team that? A team mascot is supposed to be something you can take pride in and no team would call themselves something derogatory. In fact, the name was suggested by a player on the team who was a full-blooded Native American and the current logo was designed by a Native American chief. Many Native Americans have said that they don't find the name offensive and a lot of them are fans of the team. There are Native Americans who have come out and said that they take pride in the team name. And if you think about it, calling a Native American a redskin is no different than calling a European white or an African black. If it wasn't for all the attention this controversy is receiving most people would never think of the name as being potentially offensive. Most people don't consider the term "redskin" to be an offensive one but if the team changes their name than it will instantly become a racial slur.

He is completely oblivious to the concept that you don't necessarily need to be malicious towards someone to be racist.

Of course if I point that out the answer will be "well then what's the problem if it's not malicious?" .

Most people don't understand buoyancy. If you have a cube of ice floating in water and it melts does the level go up or down?

It stays the same. To be buoyant means something displaces it's own weight in (this case) water. A 1 g piece of ice will therefore displace 1 mL of water, which will then melt into 1 mL of water.

This doesn't really apply for icebergs exactly because the ocean has high salinity and the iceberg does not. It's probably still lunatic ramblings though.

These seem like legitimate questions to me. I get that there are a lot of anti-climate change ramblings on Facebook, but those usually take the form of "if global warming then how come snow?" or something like that. This could just be a case of not learning/remembering grade 9 science and the water cycle and such, and someone with the proper knowledge can explain this to him easily.

Like, the Glenn Beck stuff paints a different picture, sure, but this looks to me like someone who is just asking questions and not "just asking questions! :argh:"

I'd like to see what his replies would be in the comments if his questions were answered.

Also the "lol ice don't overflow cup" line of thinking doesn't take into account that a large amount of the ice melting is not floating in water, but land ice on the Antarctic continent.

Not to mention the "full blooded Native American player" he mentions was actually a coach, William "Lone Star" Dietz, who was born in Wisconsin as the child of two recent German immigrants and had no Native ancestry whatsoever. He was just a compulsive liar who liked to play Injun.
