That's about 0.006% of their annual profits. Truly an undue burden for a struggling mom and pop business such as Dominos.

lovely public education has got to be the root cause of the majority of this country's problems. We're in Idiocracy but without the awful eugenics message.

you'll never catch me unironically saying that since it's cold out one weekend in september that means climate change is a lie

Winter: It's cold right now so global warming isn't real.

Summer: Of course it's hot right now, it's summer.

My favorite is the people who are on the bargaining stage of grief, ie it's not going to be THAT bad. My dad's a big fan of saying that people can just move north to Canada and Siberia, which will of course be perfectly hospitable and ready to support billions of people with zero effort.

Investing in resilient, distributed sources of energy ought to be appealing to rugged individualists. Creating massive new industries around renewables ought to make investors salivate. Instead we let the liches in charge of a tiny fraction of our industry dominate us.

A lot of those "rugged individualists" have been infected with the idea that fossil fuels are cool and manly, while wind and solar are for effete coastal liberals.

The GOP is going to be fanatical anyway because their god king wills it.

Stop trying to demoralize them or win over their moderates because they're literally never not voting for the GOP. Get the millions of newly turned 18 year olds and the tens of millions of people who don't vote to come out.

Yeah this. Nothing is going to depress D turnout more than looking back on the past two years and realizing that the people they elected in 2018 have done absolutely loving nothing.

Look on the bright side: even if he hadn't killed himself, and had sang like a canary, he and all the other rich bastards implicated in this would have been sent to some rich prison resort for a decade at most, getting out early for good behavior of course.

I don't think so, raping a kid is just about the one thing a rich bastard can't get away with. Mostly. Hence the "suicide".

I have zero faith that our society would bring down that many rich and powerful people in any meaningful way. Doing so would practically be a small-scale revolution.

Maybe it's just been on my mind lately because the Dayton shooter's twitter handle was @shadowofatomsk or something like that, which is also a FLCL reference.

No, I wouldn't, because that's not sexual assault, which is on the same level as rape.

I was going by the definition provided by RAINN


https://www.rainn.org/articles/sexual-assault

Pulling down someone's pants is not "sexual touching" as it's being used in both those definitions. Pantsing doesn't usually involve even touching the victim except by accident. We can ackowledge there's different bad things with different names that are all unacceptable.

Also did you just completely miss the "behavior" part of the definition?

Its because the media desperately wants to get back into his good graces so they can continue having dinners with war criminals

Warren seems so much better than Biden, do US Democrats really want another centrist Dem who hardly does anything against GOP craziness?

The majority of Americans barely pay attention to politics, and all they really know is:

-Trump bad
-I know Biden
-Warren is a socialist, and that's bad

Pretty good stadium effect today. Surface was totally obscured though.
