I don't know about you, but when I read that I hear him doing his Tuong Lu Kim/Kim Jong Il voice.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone release official apology to China for their recent episode on censorship: “Like the NBA, we welcome Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts,” they said. “We too love money more than freedom and democracy. Xi doesn’t look just like Winnie the Pooh at all. Tune into our 300th episode this Wednesday at 10! Long live the Great Communist Party of China! May this autumn’s sorghum harvest be bountiful! We good now China?” http://www.justjared.com/2019/10/07/south-park-creators-respond-after-china-bans-the-series/

Yeah, there is that too.

I don't mean to place fault with anybody or even to direct NN posts to one of the relevant threads, only to comment to the effect that Trump isn't "getting it wrong" in reality, only that Devin Coldewey's article is just an ideological spin piece.

They're simply taking the pro-NN view and saying that Trump is wrong because neither he nor his head of the FCC believe the same. There's lots of pertinent information in the Net Neutrality thread. Here's one of the threads (a link to a previous thread may lurk within):

I'll make it a point to shop there more often then.

I think this is wonderful news. We have apparently eliminated all other forms of racism in this country, and now can afford to zero in on what were previously considered trivialities such as the categorizing of ethnic cuisines. Gosh, we're awesome.

I'll be immensely proud of all the times PPP has served to annoy people with large egos and tiny minds.

Freedom of speech and expression is never a bad thing, and Twitter is just another way for people to express themselves. That said, freedom of speech should be left completely open to all points of view, regardless of how extreme or offensive they may be. Once Twitter began showing favoritism by suspending people for posting pro-Trump and anti-leftist points of view, they became irrelevant. Twitter makes money off of giving people an avenue to speak their mind. Once they start deciding who can and can't speak their mind on their platform, they've lost any credibility as far as I'm concerned.

If you're going to bust anyone's balls for using an incorrect word, then take a closer look at the difference between "then" and "than" before you make an ass of yourself.

You're being deliberately obtuse.

What the %$%& is climate justice? More rain for the Sahara? Fjords for the tropics? Equatorial blizzards? More than 75 days of sunshine per year in Buffalo?

Yeah, I suppose the theatrics are pretty much unavoidable.

I too work for a fortune 500 company - a massive one. One thing we've been good at over the last 20 years or so is cutting excessive waste wherever we can, abandoning old technology and reducing workforce wherever able. A company that does otherwise is inefficient and will likely not survive. What you're calling a hack argument or infighting by those elected officials isn't even that; it's fabricated drama for show and propaganda, and I think Keukasmallies' original point is a valid one. If our government was staffed only to fill necessary positions and required to do only it's job as described then there might be a bit less theater.

I would have never been able to quit smoking without having a vape to wean myself off of cigarettes. With the ability to select the amount of nicotine in the fluid I use, I've managed to go from 38mg nicotine to only 1mg now, and I only hit the vape a couple times a day. There are many people out there like me, who would otherwise still be smoking if not for having vaping as an alternative. You're absolutely right - it would be a huge mistake to ban vape fluids.

Bottle-Nosed Dolphins. All of them. Never trust anything that grins that much.

My guess is yes, because if that's a transsexual, he/she/whatever is a hell of a lot of hormone treatments from even being close to a "maybe".

Carpe cervisiam!

One supreme irony being that this is coming from a party that has taken to calling the entire opposition racist.

" According to the company’s promotional materials, “The Street View vehicles provide an invaluable service to consumers, who really like having their homes, businesses, and playgrounds photographed. If they didn’t want them photographed, they wouldn’t have put them there in the first place.” I was surprised by the tenor of that article in that I would have assumed huffpost to be more sympathetic toward google

Why do you think ET's finger was so long?

Will we ever see a poster that says anything along the lines of "98% of all lesbians are unwilling to date men because of hatred"?

But was it worth making an ass of yourself?

What if you tried walking at the same time?
