First they came for the fascists, and I didn't give a fuck because I'm not a fascist.

Hmm I wonder if Kerry had conceded by then...

You'll have no luck with this crowd. Surprising amount of literal traitors out here.

How much more brazen can you be? Turn on the goddamn news today. Show me a list of democratic congressmen who voted against certification in 2016. Show me when Obama pressured his VP to toss electors. Show me a barrage of completely bullshit lawsuits. Show a phone call from the incumbent asking to miraculously find votes.

This "both sides" bullshit needs to stop.

struggle session / getting called out for saying completely stupid shit. Potato / potato right? How will this lowly Nobel laureate ever recover.

If there's anything struggle session-like about this, it's you contorting the author's respectful opinion into some kind of public flogging.

It is already illegal to modify the exhaust to make your vehicle louder. Does't seem to bother cops though.

Maybe I'm not seeing the right material but when I watch stuff like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lJKucu6HJc from him, all I hear are mind-numbing platitudes. Having a "sensible business model" might have been my favorite piece of advice from that one.

Cause some people might not be convinced he's out there fighting for the little guy, a week after trying to undermine democracy.

When you get off the waitlist it's common to receive substantially less financial aid. There might be some other causes too.

I did, and it’s pretty clear your gripes about social sciences carry over into taking cheap shots at a bunch of other fields.

2: it’s the literal cause of their death. Don’t know what you’re getting at with trying to compare that to how much science is dying. Sounds like incomparable quantities to me - be the good scientist you want to see in this world!

Can we can an update to your blog post lamenting the death of science, now that science is only reason we will have a vaccine for a virus that has killed a quarter-million people in the US? Could also expound on your interpretation of the LIGO data while you're at it.

At the rate law firms are dropping Trump, those cases next week will have to be argued by Rudy himself. And god willing, he'll give us some more press conferences as a bonus.

Pretty much everyone I know pays. College students split the family plan so its $2.50/mo. Pretty good considering that would only get you two songs on iTunes.
