This video is a great example of a seemingly simple topic having more nuance than you might expect.

One horrid shithead is disagreeing with another horrid shithead. My apathy knows no bounds.

I can’t help with the price, but I wanted to compliment you on the photo. Nice work!

Now all they need to do is build a robot to complain about inspections and permitting

Usually I don’t give a damn what the pope says, but this is something I can get behind.

I think it’s reasonable for someone to get frustrated when someone has a disability, but only if that frustration doesn’t negatively affect one’s behavior. First and foremost, the disabled person deserves to be treated and respected as a person.

When someone says TO SOMEONE ELSE they hate the fact that you can’t pay attention, maybe they’re only venting, or making a reasonable complaint. Are they still friendly on other occasions? Then your friendship is worth enough to them that they’re willing to tolerate the drawbacks. It may not seem like it at first, but that could be more of a compliment than anything. Actions really do speak louder than words.

The “jump off a cliff” remark is concerning, though. That’s not an okay thing to say, or even think. I’d recommend avoiding that person - but who’s telling you this shit? Are they a reliable source? How trustworthy can they be if they’re spreading nasty gossip about things that were said to them in private? It’s possible that they’re lying, or exaggerating.

Give people some slack, but not so much that you’re letting them treat you badly. Friendships are valuable. Don’t let the bad overshadow the good. Nobody, no matter how “perfect” they seem, has infinite patience. They also can’t possibly know what it’s like to be you.

The Texas Legislature (ALL governments at ALL levels, actually) should include many more women of childbearing age. There would still be some anti-choice jackasses, of course, but fewer of them.

True, but the government loves expensive toys.

This seems like it would be ideal for spying on your own citizens. Expect a US version soon - if there isn’t one already, that is.

I think one thing that most people can agree on is that they prefer walking into an empty public restroom. ~~Nobody~~ few of us like using the facilities while under observation.

At this point, all I can do is shake my head and laugh. I’d be concerned if these were supposed to be good faith negotiations, but they’re not, so what the fuck ever.

They might as well be using sock puppets. Only idiots take these people seriously.

This is one of those things that may be technically true if removed from its context, but doesn’t even occur to you unless you’re a heartless asshole. (Granted, we’re talking about lawyers here. Heartlessness is in the job description. But I digress…) In reality, I don’t think a lot of Palestinians are benefiting from having their land mercilessly bombed, their hospitals destroyed, and even their makeshift shelters targeted. Oh, and don’t forget the restrictions on aid and killing of doctors. Those things definitely outweigh any public health gains due to a reduction in obesity.
