This encapsulates a lot of what's annoying on this site. First person has a pretty basic take about not caring if Epstein implicates Clinton. Second person makes a weak pun. They get praised for it so two other people beat that horse into the ground. Finally someone argues with the last shitty joke

Is there seriously no politician that is willing to run on doing something about spam calls, it would be a slam dunk. I know these are all the same spammer because I don't live in that area and they got my contact info from one specific thing I did in that area

It's always interesting to me how for some people it's more comforting to believe a bad guy is in charge than to believe no one is

This is such a weirdly organized form. Like I get why it's on the form but I feel like it should be in a different section from the diseases

That's interesting that the randomly generated project names + commit hashes on app hosting services read as "Russian hackers". Something for the ol product teams to think about

Interesting bit here, the libertarians took over an existing town (pop ~1000) and some residents actually happily went along with them on drastic cuts to services, and eventually reaped the consequences, an echo of every fable where deals with the devil only bring out what was already in your heart

This also isn't funny because it led to a change in the behavior of the broader bear population in the area such that neighboring towns also started to experience increased bear attacks, but again, the way that it is put, is funny, and cute

Re-reading the article about the libertarian experiment town that eventually failed and got taken over by bears and I'm sorry I know it's not a joke but way to live up to the stereotype www.vox.com/policy-and-p...

So here's an article about the Edmund Fitzgerald, where they banned dives in 1995 because victims' families were upset but one investigator says he's "hopeful" now that the objecting family members have died and yay science? but that's a weird way to put it www.popularmechanics.com/science/a689...

Seeing how many people have a similar story (grew up conservative and became liberal due to being repulsed by awful conservatives around you) I'm surprised there aren't more thinkpieces like "fellow conservatives, we are driving innocent moderates to liberalism by being too rude". Only the other way
