Thanks for the lecture, professor.

We both know he was using the broken tail light as probable cause for a stop. He wanted him to pull over because he suspected he was drunk or on drugs or simply because he was black with a broken tail light.
As soon as the man didn’t pull over the cop got his hackles up and now he was definitely going to stop him. Escalation is the way with cops.
Well I think it does, because they don’t know literally everything about us yet. But they will one day if we don’t fight back.
As Doctorow points out, ‘Saying security and privacy don’t matter because you have nothing to hide is like saying freedom of speech doesn’t mater because you have nothing to say.’
It’s a very short-sighted view. Those rights will be taken from you if you don’t protect them.
Oil has a bad reputation but how lucky we are to have it. How does a civilization on a planet without hydrocarbons make the leap to a technological species?
It’s not impossible, but it’s got to be a lot harder.
When they do boil off they need to make sure to have a hell of a lot of removedtail sauce and melted butter on hand.
It could simply be that the rise of life is wildly more rare than we think.
Surge pricing. If your BMI is high they charge more for Pringles.
Maybe not, but I’m sure his life was harder.
Came to say that someone should edit that 37 dicks scene in Clerks.
My wife has really bad knees (she just had her first replacement).
We went to an outdoor concert a couple of years ago and we’re walking across muddy, uneven ground and she was cussing and complaining about the pain. Just then some young guy with no legs, walking on his hands, blew past us. She shut up fast.
Point being, someone always has it worse then you do.
Nah, they’ve been setting the stage for a year that he’s being railroaded by “crooked joe”. He won’t have lost many votes with his convictions. But some…
There are no laws against it, no.
In fact he can be president and in prison at the same time, but he won’t get prison time.
A lot of people do think he’s on trial simply for paying a prostitute; they don’t care. Check out a few MAGA interviews on YouTube.
How very “free market” of him.
He’s American and he’s unhappy with a $2500 bill? That’s less than my deductible. Should be counting his blessings.
She defended this by saying that it was thejr money that had been taken from her by force and, therefore, she was entitled to getting it back.
Your comment precisely expresses my attitude. When it came up i used to say that I was fiscally conservative and social liberal. A Libertarian.
But the older I get the more I realize that Libertarianism isn’t the fiction of Atlas Shrugged. There are many people of great worth that cannot be Dagny Taggart or Howard Roark.
Rand failed to take into account that the allure of increasing wealth subverts many bright creators into becoming resource vampires that in turn become oppressors. Ayn Rand would have loved Mark Zuckerberg’s rise through intelligence and hard work, but what would she think of what he’s ultimately built and what it’s done to society?
Real people aren’t as altruistic has her characters.
I just finished it two days ago. I agree completely.
I will caution people that because of the writing style the beginning of the book (at least to me) is a bit disorienting. It takes a minute to find her rhythm.
The problem is that store bought croutons have normalized being dry, hard bullets. It’s not like that when they’re made fresh. They’re beautiful little pieces of buttered texture in your salad.
