  • Only country that ever burned down the White House? We won’t forget you! ;)

  • Dirty little secret: advertising drives very little of what we know as capitalism. It’s honestly just kind of a drain hole in capitalism, out of which flows billions of dollars into the void.

  • Anyone who thinks the level of attractiveness has anything to do with this…

    He has no idea how hard we’ve worked to make people who look like plain old men in dresses feel beautiful.

  • The president has already captured the only authorities that could check him: the judicial and congressional branches of government.

    That is why he is not being bound by laws.

    Until Unions can claim the same, they are vulnerable.

    I’m not saying I like it. Just that these are the facts.

  • I’m aware of what rent-seeking is. How does that relate to Product and how are companies eliminating it?

  • What? It’s not. The point stands that mostly in the US you meet a very select group of people from other countries, usually of more means, usually with some reason why they left. You are working very hard to not understand something pretty basic. It’s like you’ve never known an immigrant.

  • If you are doing gods work, good for you. Do you think that describes Americans at large? You really went out of your way to take that personally.

  • How will you make it through life without the ability to criticize a woman’s eyebrows? I leave that grand challenge to you.

  • Great then, bad example. It was crystal clear to me - I guess not everyone hears the same jokes.

  • We’re taking about on the scale of their home country. Most Venezuelans couldn’t even manage to get themselves here to be beggars.

  • It’s amazing trying to convince people that sexism in fact exists. On the one hand, you have the overwhelming reality of the facts on your side. But against you, there is also unlimited head-in-the-sand excuses.

    So I think I’ll just gesture vaguely at everything and let you figure it out.

  • Congrats, one instance found. My question was which do you hear “more” about.

  • No, because that is not part of a systematic program to diminish men and undermine them from occupying positions of power. When women are equally represented in power and comments about women’s appearance are equally random and not 100% fucking predictable then I’ll handle all such comments the same, and not before.

    You’re really far behind here if you don’t understand this, but I don’t expect a lot from someone who would make an openly sexist remark in public, I guess.

  • I have to think about which of these things is more important:

    1. I’d like Trump specifically removed
    2. I object to a transfer of power in the US being effected unilaterally by a foreign military

    I’m not sure that disposing of one leader I hate is actually worth embracing #2 forever afterward.

  • Couldn’t a gut bacterium influence serotonin production in the brain, too? It doesn’t specify here which it does.

  • I have wondered a lot whether we could enshrine laws that would protect us from corruption like we’ve seen. Executive overreach in general is a problem but there are also smaller things like the fact that Trump filmed a fucking canned food advertisement on the Resolute Desk that seem like they should be eliminate-able.

    It just doesn’t seem like we actually have laws anymore. The Supreme Court has declared presidents untouchable. And the way demographics are shifting, it’s harder and harder for Republicants to control Congress, but the electoral college favors red states, so Republicants WANT an overpowered president.

    We could probably get them to agree to presidential controls during a Dem presidents’ administration, but could we get to a constitutional amendment or something they couldn’t just undo later when it suits them? I doubt it.

    We are in a death match with an implacable foe who wants nothing more than our total destruction. There is no negotiating or agreeing our way out of this: the only thing we can do is win.

  • It happens, but not predictably. It happens to every powerful woman every time. Which have you heard more about: Hillary’s cankles or whatever the fuck that is that hangs off the bottom of Mitch McConnel’s chin? I rest my case.

  • Someone’s choices about how they handle or present their body are just as much a part of their appearance as the way their body was made at birth, so your elaborate excuses fail to get you off the sexism hook, from which you hung yourself quite clearly earlier.
