Ages ago I read a survey in an economics journal where they asked seventy three economists across the political spectrum whether carbon taxes were an appropriate means to combat carbon pollution. Seventy two said yes. One said no, but sent a followup comment that they had misread the question.

Even with military support for Israel he's at least trying. Since the attack on the kitchen convoy he's been restricting the types of arms being supplied to ones Israel isn't using in Gaza and has been delaying transfers, some not being scheduled to happen for years.

I suppose this is why I keep mishearing Panic at the Disco's song as "With a sense of poison rationality" instead of "poise and rationality."

Oh trust me, the Russian Navy losing control of the Black Sea to a nation without any warships has definitely been making people laugh for a while.

I don't understand how they still have their voices after a full day of reflexively saying "Wok wok wok wok wok..." while they cook.

Scavenger's Reign is such a pretty atmospheric cartoon. It deserves all the love.

Like I said after learning that hackers turned three million "Smart Toothbrushes" into a DDoS botnet... We're living in the lamest dystopia possible.

I read the preview on Amazon, considering getting it for one of my nieces. I decided they're a bit old for it so I bought it for myself instead. I'm old enough to not care I'm too old for it. Lovely book, very entertaining, and I LOVED the design of Grendel!

The one thing that gets me about the Borg is they don't actually seem to incorporate anything into themselves from the people they assimilate. They're still flying around in the same cubes they met the Federation in decades ago.

In Oslo my friends and I were waiting on the sidewalk for another friend who had ducked into a shop. An elderly gentleman approached and I realized we were blocking the sidewalk so I moved us aside and said "Excuse us, sir" as he passed. He blew a raspberry at us.

It's the craphole death spiral. Crappy posters spike, people with a sensitivity to crap leave, so crap makes up a higher percentage of postings. That leads to the people slightly less sensitive to crap leaving and the percentage of crappy interactions just rises and rises.

Even more fun fact: If you had $1bn and spent $10mil a year, you would in fact never run out of money because even a low return checking account interest rate of 0.45% would net you an extra $580mil over the century.

The "law on the books" you mention was also retroactive. The original statute of limitations of civil liabilities on these specific crimes ran out in the 70's while the expansion of that statute was passed in the 00's.

The property being protected is their assets. Land, housing, money, etc. The reason they have that protection is because the statute of limitations passed and the court ruled that retroactively turning back the limit was unfairly burdensome on that right.

No. The property right is the protection of their property from suit.

It took cities burning, a plague across the land, and the sky turning to blood to get rid of the last jackass king we had. He got to keep his golden throne though, that was his.

In a healthy and truly representative democratic system, restrictions on the office are unnecessary and detrimental to voter choice. Unfortunately we don't have a healthy and truly representative democratic system.

While many people are surely going to point out that Noah was told to bring seven pairs of each animal on board, that's only for "clean" animals and these are clearly filthy.

They were at least able to radio out. It gave the police the time to start shutting down the bridge. Saved a lot of lives.

Yeah! Creative people bouncing off each other is the best! I used to write fanfiction and a person made fanart of one of my stories and it was the best feeling in the world. They liked a thing I did so much they did their own thing! Can't top that feeling!

Khorasan. It's a historical region in central Asia centered on modern day Afghanistan. ISIL tends to try and evoke the Islamic Golden Age with their names.

Some of it is political theater, some of it is a negotiating tactic, but more and more it's a party gone mad. Republicans can't sell working with Democrats to their constituents and they don't have enough control over their most lunatic fringe to pass it themselves.

I used to visit the Comics and Cartoons board on 4chan. It was actually alright at the time, even if the rest of the site was beyond saving. It took a long time of things getting worse before I recognized it was no longer worth going to.
