USB DVD drives are super cheap.

Just saying.

He was forced to, how? Nobody has the power to force him do anything.

He read the writing on the wall and stepped aside. Something Trump would never do.

God, I wish it were that easy.

Too many of them weren’t joking. That was a rather popular conspiracy theory during the Obama years; that Michelle is trans (or, to hear them tell it, “really a man”) and their daughters are actors.

Again, you’re giving massive benefit of the doubt by assuming the psychotic parent is not racist and that he’s telling the truth about the bullying situation, especially when his actions don’t seem to match his words.

Just because he says he’s not racist, doesn’t mean he’s not racist. And his actions look pretty damn racist.

Because even a moment’s consideration will tell you a situation where the district superintendent and only the district superintendent is responsible for poor handling of a disciplinary situation is extremely fucking unlikely.

You are going out of your way to give a psychotic parent who assaulted a school official benefit of the doubt that he has not earned.

Then why specifically the superintendent? Even if this was a bullying issue with an unsatisfactory conclusion, there’s no way he would have engaged with the superintendent of the district without engaging with the principal first. They would both have failed to resolve the problem, so why would he have gone after the superintendent specifically and left the principal there to shake his daughter’s hand?

And, of course, the other issue is, even if that was true, that doesn’t make what he did OK. He’s marginally less shitty by virtue of not being openly racist, but he still made sure that his daughter’s last memory of high school is him getting arrested for assaulting the district superintendent and embarrassing her in front of the entire graduating class and their families.

I mean, for me, it means both. I’m a big believer in FDR’s concept of four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

That. It’s funny, but I get in a lot of disagreements online, and very rarely does someone call me Hitler or a Nazi or what not.

As the saying goes, if five people call you an ass, buy a saddle.

DEVO - Be Stiff With A Boner

I probably would have gone with “Whip It With A Boner”. But hey.

I’d wear these. They look rad.

Plus, no monthly fees for online play on PC.

That wasn’t my plan before, but it is now.

I often find this is the biggest obstacle with moving people to FOSS solutions. People want an alternative to Photoshop, so you show them Gimp, and they immediately get frustrated because they try to apply the logic and design philosophies of Photoshop to Gimp. People want an alternative to Windows, so you show them Linux, and they immediately get frustrated because they try to apply the logic and design philosophies of Windows to Linux. And then when it doesn’t work the same way, then obviously that is a deficiency of the alternative, and not simply them having to learn a new way of doing things.

You mean it’s not?

Same here. It actually has been introducing weird typos for me. It’s fucking awful.

Dorothy Parker was a humor writer and Robert Benchley was a comedian. Both of them were members of the Algonquin Round Table, a group of New York-based artists who were very close.
