420DD Butts posted:This quote still makes no sense to me. Who washes their hands longer because their water is restricted, aside from morons? Well, if it's a truly lovely faucet and there was like only a trickle of water coming out then it would take you longer to rinse the soap off your hands. I've only ever really seen that in public bathrooms with no security located in parks where only half the sinks are operable with graffiti on the walls talking about how you should call Chelsea for a good time. In established businesses and stuff the water pressure is more than sufficient for washing your hands. Donald Trump doesn't know what he's talking about. He's probably got builders and money people making decisions to use certain shower heads/faucets to save on the water bill for his business, but he thinks there's some massive EPA conspiracy to turn all showers into water fountains.

Joementum posted:Quote of the night, "Neville Chamberlain got a better deal from Adolf Hitler." ~ Senator Mark Kirk. This could be the quote of any night since Obama's inauguration in 2009. The right can't decide whether Obama is Hitler or Chamberlain. It might have something to do with their focus.

Sir Tonk posted:Did he store the corruption in his mini-fridge? This is real crazy, but it's a meme in conservative circles along with "we're screwing over farmers because of a tiny fish nobody cares about!" You guys should follow right wing media more. This is something literally everyone running in the GOP primary thinks is uncontroversial truth.

Crain posted:I didn't see this here today: A man committed suicide at the US capitol holding a "Tax the 1%" sign. This is hilarious. Let's discuss the world views of James Holmes, Timothy McVeigh, Ted Kaczysnki, and Anders Breivik for months and years on end, but holy hell we couldn't possibly talk about such a dangerous philosophy as "tax the 1.%" That's just beyond the pale!

Somebody needs to start a new ThisFuckingElection right now, and just have it be CHIPOTLE in giant text. This story is killing me. I live in a country where Mexican food almost doesn't exist. I can go to a somewhat okay restaurant if I travel 40 minutes on the train and pay like $25 to eat there. I can also attempt to make something on my own at home. Neither of these options match the Qdoba steak nachos I'm craving. If this Chipotle story lasts another week I'm gonna go on a week long homemade Mexican food binge. People are gonna find me holed up in my apartment eating cold refried beans out of a can with a spoon while sobbing uncontrollably.

Radbot posted:This probably has an obvious answer, but why were all the Saudi connections to 9/11 swept under the rug in the leadup to the Iraq war? The Bush family is pretty tight with the Saudi royal family. It has some to do with oil, but a lot of it had to do with the personal connections. George W. Bush's nickname for Bandar bin Sultan, the ambassador from Saudi Arabia from 1983-2005 and member of the House of Saud, was "Bandar Bush." It is reported that George W. Bush treated him almost as a member of the Bush family. https://web.archive.org/web/20060614095551/http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/?030324fa_fact2 A lot of the conspiracy theories around 9/11 and plane flights for the Saudi royal family hinge on this.

Kalman posted:Unlikely. He will almost certainly be heavily involved in fundraising though - he's great at that, but he's actively unlikable as a human being. Really? It seems like having governor cred on the ticket would be good, and the VP is extremely likely to be a fairly boring white guy to try to balance the ticket. What are other possible VP's being talked about? Maybe one of the Castro's?

I am actually quite surprised how up in arms white people on my Facebook are getting about this. There wasn't this kind of response from my dumb racist acquaintances at any point during anything with Ferguson.

Nintendo Kid posted:This has a lot to do with it, Ferguson was literally a no name tiny town on the outskirts of one of America's smaller cities. You should look into the reasons why Ferguson is a "tiny town on the outskirts" rather than a neighborhood in one of America's smaller cities.

You're being pedantic. If you compare the St. Louis metro area to the Baltimore metro area they are similar sizes. The only reason St. Louis proper is half the population of Baltimore is that the city and surrounding area had an amazingly hosed up political structure that was entirely connected to the reason Ferguson is the way it is.

Nintendo Kid posted:Also of note: tiny in land Boston packs in 650,000 people all on its own. You're comparing the St. Louis metro area to the Baltimore political unit. You're a loving idiot. That's apples and oranges. Also, we're talking about Baltimore, not Boston, hope that helps. Second also, metro boundaries crossing state lines is not unheard of. Political divisions are of secondary importance compared to where the gently caress people actually live. ErIog fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Apr 28, 2015 |

Tender Bender posted:This derail started because someone answered the question of why this is generating a bigger response than Ferguson, with the (correct) answer that downtown Baltimore is a bigger deal on the national scale than downtown Ferguson. This is not a controversial statement. The poster was not justifying it or saying it was fair. I know we're pissed off but you really don't need to devour each other over this. People involved in this discussion understand that! The reason it's being discussed is because the Ferguson vs. St. Louis distinction is entirely purposeful, and it has a political impact on the events at hand. It does matter in terms of the national media coverage. However, if the journalists were doing their actual job instead of rewriting police department press releases then it probably wouldn't. That's an interesting point of discussion. Handwaving it away with "the Baltimore proper political unit is larger than the Ferguson proper political unit" is part of the problem. hobbesmaster posted:When discussing city of Miami vs city of Jacksonville services that is a pretty important consideration. "Miami metropolitan area" doesn't pay "City of Miami" taxes. Fishmech is pretty dumb, but very useful in this discussion as he represents how journalists approach writing their stories. If you punch the search terms into Google then Fishmech is correct. If you think about it for more than 2 seconds, though, it falls apart. It's a textbook example of "technically correct, but basically wrong." ErIog fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Apr 28, 2015 |
