  • Any pregnant mothers taking Trump's advice on pain management, I'm not saying they deserve to be in pain, but you make decisions and those decisions have consequences. The ones I feel bad for are the women who have men in their lives making decisions for them, but that's a problem regardless.

  • I agree completely, and that's my point. They think they are hurting Kimmel, but they are highlighting for everyone what piles of human shit they are. If I were a Sinclair customer, I'd be livid that they were making those decisions for me.

  • We have a 75 mph speed limit on our highways, and people still speed like maniacs. Enforcement varies, but sociopaths exist at statistically consistent levels.

    On the other hand, tourists visit the autobahn because they want to speed. People who would not normally speed are driving too fast to actually control their vehicles.

    Feels like a lose-lose.

  • Two possibilities here.

    First, they have a lot of subscribers who want to watch Jimmy Kinmel (or who just care about free speech) and who will be more upset with oligarchical parasites than they will be with Kimmel.

    Second, they don't have a lot of subscribers who want to watch Jimmy Kinmel (or who just care about free speech) and who will be supportive of their oligarchical parasites, but weren't going to tune in anyway.

    Neither situation harms Kimmel even a little bit.

  • Because that'snot what the graph claims, and it is definitely not what the graph implies.

    The graph says that there has been a 400% increase in the prevalence of autism. That's not true, and is unsupported by the evidence. There has been a marked increase in the effective diagnosis and therapeutic interventions, but autism was largely undiagnosed and under-reported for almost all of human history. We're still improving and refining the diagnostic criteria, and any changes in the number of cases should not be suggested to support any causal relationship with anything.

    The graph is a lie, intended to push a political narrative that undermines the credibility of actual science, all in a transparent effort to distract from powerful child rapists raping children.

  • I have poor impulse control. I've never raped anyone, because I've never wanted to rape anyone. That's not an impulse. It's the violent crime of an unrepentant sociopath, and if you need impulse control to avoid it, you're the problem.

    Not you "you." I know what you meant.

  • Why do we have to have these conversations? Because well-meaning (and some not so well meaning) men thought it was a good idea to warn women about the things women do and wear that force those men to think about assaulting women. Of course, they would never do such a thing, but they assume that rape and sexual assault could be avoided, or at least minimized, if women would stop teasing men so much.

    And then there's a whole subclass of men who prefer to control women, and use examples of rape and sexual assault to demonstrate to the women they want to control that freedom has consequences. So whenever a woman is attacked, they blame her for refusing to follow the rules established by a Godly man.

    So every so often, we get a list of "suggestions" that sound like common sense self-preservation instincts, but belie a subtext that is equal parts horrific and misogynist. Things like don't leave your drink unattended (because men drug and rape women) or travel in groups (because men isolate and rape women) or don't wear provocative clothing (because a horny man cannot help but rape a woman).

  • Yarr matey. I was just making a joke about how my morality is at odds with my nostalgic devotion to intellectual properties.

    Oh wait, I thought of another witty reply:

    You wouldn't download a Razor Crest, shoot a Mandalorian, shit in his helmet, give it to his alien baby foundling, and then steal the helmet again.

  • I suspect we'll find out in his opening monologue.

    My bet, he treats it like a victory lap, does a few innocuous jabs at "both sides", drops one really sharp line seemingly off script, and then continues the show as if nothing happened. He will make fun of how awkward Trump was at the Kirk memorial, and make no mention of racism, bigotry, or fascism because that's the deal they made.

    And I can't say I blame him. The gun isn't to his head. It's pointed at all of the people who work on the show and don't have the political freedom that comes with being extremely rich.
