Yeah, this is fucking bullshit, but it's not like Cliff's notes haven't been a thing for a long time. This is just another way for someone being forced to read something to slack off. No one who actually wants to read the book would ever consider this.

Just make sure you finish on the Bach. Never finish on Debussy.

The difference is republican voters gargle his balls to an extent I've never seen, not even with Regan. The whole thing about being able to shoot someone on fifth avenue might be the truest thing he's ever said.

What this means is, with the help of a willing Congress he can do anything. Even things previous republican presidents couldn't without losing support for themselves and their lackeys in Congress. Republicans in purple districts couldn't pass just anything and expect to get reelected, but with Trump taking the lead you hardly even hear about individual representatives so they're willing to vote for some crazy shit.

He can feed them shit and call it caviar all day, every day. Republican voters will eat it up and never question it no matter how much it harms them.

Republicans always do this to some extent, but usually there is a limit.

Trump has no limits.

I like Paul Mooney's take on that movie.

You'll have to look it up yourselves though. My complexion prohibits me from accurately quoting almost everything that Paul Mooney has ever said.

Regulatory capture, it's a problem through the government. Decades ago U.S. regulatory agencies were well respected around the world, to the point where if a U.S. body approved something, many other countries automatically followed. Now they're a joke, taking orders from the industries they are supposed to oversee.

What the fuck has been happening with these people? They used to just be weirdos that thought they could drive (travel) without a licence and didn't think they had to comply with a bunch of laws, but mostly administrative stuff. When did they morph into a group that's all about stealing stuff with magic paperwork?

I used to see them as a bunch of goofs that were mostly harmless, aside from things like driving without insurance. Now they're just a bunch of thieves trying to get over on anyone and everyone.

Spices x 2. They'd probably be hard to unload without getting robbed, but then you could buy a nice farm.

Everything else would be useless after a short time at best and get you burned as a witch at worst.

Often shortened to deck. Sounds similar enough to dick that you can just say dick and no one notices. You get to go around taking about showing people your dick all the time then giggle about it.

One of the problems with economic theory in general is assuming rational actors.

All true, but enforcement, and the law itself, are unnecessary. I've never known a sailor that would even consider ignoring a distress call.

Asshole passenger maybe, but not the crew. So on second thought, the law gives the crew something to say to an asshole passenger who wants to ignore a call.

You're missing the bottom row of dark hands. Please fix this before I spend all day thinking about it.

It also wouldn't hurt to change the font size on "this" so the middle row doesn't bulge out.

So it only disrupted the speaker when it detected reggaeton?

So it wasn't the loud music early in the morning he objected to, he just thought his neighbor had shitty taste.
