Or anything else for that matter. Fact is most people are dumb as gently caress and don't know pretty much anything about most things or understand anything above a junior high level, but you can't just outright say that because all those same people think they're very smart and that they understand all the things they don't. It'd be nice if he didn't back down like a pussy on it though, because most of the people trying to grill him over his comments also don't know poo poo about those things.

How obviously it is a failure. By Jan 2017 it should be ~3-4x as obvious as it is now. Are moving companies universally unreliable?

If your country lacks a functional justice system to enforce contracts receiving good service all comes down to adequate motivation. Explosive collars on their kin is what I recommend.

Man, the internet and social media in general has made having straight (white) male friends a dicey game of Russian roulette where bullets are bad opinions. Thank god few real-life instances play out the way they would on the internet and my friends are generally amenable to someone close to them calling them out on something (provided you're not too much of a dick about it). ~Two weeks ago I overheard my brother arguing with his friend about the ferguson stuff, his friend being pro-cop because he's a bit sheltered and loves LEOs (despite having several run-ins with them for possession--then again he always walked away from those, so #CrimingWhileWhite), and in the end they were able to hug it out and get back to smoking pot and snowboarding. I'm really glad few real life conversations play out the way they would on the internet.

The trick to moving is to perpetually live like a college student so the only things you own that you can't fit in a car or mail are cheap pieces of Ikea furniture that it makes more sense to give away and rebuy.

Thank god few real-life instances play out the way they would on the internet and my friends are generally amenable to someone close to them calling them out on something (provided you're not too much of a dick about it). That's for sure, I just don't have the patience to deal with jerks, and there's been too many times where some guy has said something kind of iffy, and I'll think "wait I minute, I think I know where you're going with this," and yep, it ends up being some bs about women or black people. And hugs and weed and snowboarding is definitely the best way to resolve an argument.

Shear Modulus posted:Isn't Veronica Mars a TV show I vaguely remember hearing the name of on ads? Why are they talking about campus rape? The first half of the third season is about a bunch of feminists falsely accusing men of rape. IIRC the feminists do it to bring attention to the issue (which the show treats as very real), but still  . In any case that's why most of the show's fans hate the third season, and it's too bad because up until then it's is a pretty decent feminist-y noir show about class struggle in suburbia.

Badger of Basra did you ever give us a postmortem on how much grading kids' opinions on torture, being almost assuredly formed entirely by osmosis of the cultural norm given their young age, affected your faith in everything.
