@George-K said in The Millennials Are Doing Alright: @Axtremus said in The Millennials Are Doing Alright: It seems to be the "top 10" are areas with cheaper housing costs while the "bottom 10" the most expensive. I'm going to file that in the "No shit, Sherlock" section of my desk. Well look who posted it.

Modi's quite a piece of work. The opposition leader Rahul Ghandi was recently sentenced to two years in prison for making fun of his surname.

@Axtremus said in Utah passes sweeping social media restrictions for minors: @Doctor-Phibes, are you expecting consistency? For some issues (like gun control), sure, the American Conservatives say let's not pass more laws that cannot be effectively enforced. But only for some issues. Since you're not mentally stable, I think your guns should be seized.

Likely a good decision

@Jolly said in So, kids, what questions do you have about transgenders?: When did we start calling eunuchs transgendered? When the individual eunuch self identify as such, and only for that individual eunuch.

Taibbi comments on inaccurate reporting on MSNBC. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/taibbi-eat-me-msnbc tl;dr If it sounds like my beef with MSNBC is personal, by now it is. Take the Twitter Files. When first presented with the opportunity to do that story, my first reaction was to be extremely excited, as any reporter would be, including anyone at MSNBC. In the next second however I was terrified, because I care about my job, and knew there would be a million eyes on this thing and a long way down if I got anything wrong. If you’ve ever wondered why I look 100 years old at 53 it’s because I embrace this part of the process. Audiences have a right to demand reporters lie awake nights in panic, and every good one I’ve ever met does. But people who used to be my friends at MSNBC embraced a different model, leading to one of the biggest train wrecks in the history of our business. Now they have the stones to point at me with this “What happened to you?” routine. It’s rare that the following words are justified on every level, but really, MSNBC: Fuck you.

Subtle, ye are.

weirdo

Really beautiful. Thanks, Mark.

@Doctor-Phibes said in The Hobbit: @Jolly said in The Hobbit: My granddaughter is currently enjoying reading The Hobbit. She picked it up after finishing The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Not bad for a kid that doesn't turn 7 until next August, is it? Smart kid! Have you figured out where she gets it from? I remember reading The Hobbit for the first time when I was 10. It blew me away like nothing I'd ever read before. My parents got me the sequel for my 11th birthday. Nah, I'm just a labrat. Her dad is a postman. OTOH, her dad's mom is a PhD RN. Her brothers are both M.D.'s. Her dad was a M.D. and an O.D. Did I mention I'm just a labrat?...

@Catseye3 said in Defund the Police -- Trump edition: At what point will everyone realize that these are the rantings of an unwell mind? Ok, but he is correct.

@89th said in Hey Cats, your AOC post of the day …: reps are indeed voted in BY the people As are senators. Repeal the 17th!

@89th said in A fascinating thread on Texas: In fact, now I can see it clearly on google maps where the west side of the state is brown/arid and the east side is greener. Never really though about it, always figured texas was consistent. It's real obvious when you fly from where I live. East Texas (The Big Thicket) is pretty and green. West Texas is a bunch of brown with an occasional bright green (irrigation) circle.
