yeah but that's not what that Vice article was. You can criticize the book all you want, just don't miss the entire point of the novel while doing it. That idiot author of the article thought it was portraying everyone in a good light, as good people we should like instead of awful people to be hated.

nah if the federal government bails them out on the bonds, that's 100% good for PR. If bondholders get hosed somehow in it, oh well, gently caress bondholders vultures.

except he's not going to bail out puerto rico, so openly musing about screwing the bondholders just makes it harder for their government to raise money

LOL if you think that Trump is actually going to get behind forgiving PR's debt and LOL even harder if you think it would get through this Congress.

it won't happen but I also don't give a gently caress about a temporary drop in PR's bond values

I legit enjoyed the vice bit on Ugandan moonshine and their alcoholism epidemic. They do dumb poo poo, but is it really worse than putting a panel of two trump apologists, a moderate, and two dems on for everything or months of missing airline coverage.

dont get why people cant get the confounding effect [bad] education can have on book opinions

good lit education uses the specific literature as a vehicle to teach lit & language, examines what works & what doesn't, idk other stuff. delves into themes and how they're expressed or not so well expressed. touches on mb the writer didn't even mean those themes???? :o

not everyone has had Great school teachers. sometimes people get

"here is this prototype of good literature. it is good. i am assigning the book because of its goodness. let us bask in the quality of this softpaper-bound prose."

I said nothing wrong because I never finished my statement. Remember I said like 'blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.' I was talking her ears or her nose. Everybody said, 'Oh that’s terrible what he said.' I didn’t say anything.

Yeah—additionally, if a teacher teaches like this it's also 1000x more enjoyable for the students. There's nothing worse than being forced to slog through an endless book you hate without having the opportunity to voice your frustrations in class, and that's probably why most Americans don't read books.

My best English teacher had us read a bunch of different translations of Beowulf: we would compare the language and talk about which worked better, how the word choice affected the "feel" of the passages, etc... it ruled

Yeah, I just don't understand how Trumps political career just isn't impacted by things that would make any other politician run straight for the hills.

I mean Mitt Romney got trashed for the binder full of women comment. Trump flat out admits that he's sexually assaulted women and then it gets brushed off as 'locker room talk.'

Only thing that annoyed me about that was that he never figured out to just sip and pass. The one they did on backyard wrestling was nuts.

oh yeah fyi the way bumpfire stocks work is that its like there's a spring between the gun and the part of the stock that impacts your shoulder, so the gun bounces backwards into the stock a bit, and then it ofc bounces back forward

you pull the trigger then hold your finger still, and the gun bouncing forward makes another trigger pull, shooting the gun again

since machine guns are defined by how many bullets per trigger pull, its still technically a semi auto gun!!!!!!

Honest question gun man, is this something that can be targeted by legislation or not.

trump has no shame and doesn't give a gently caress. that's basically it

it's also why i'm afraid for when someone like that comes along but is also mentally competent
