I don’t mind pedantic comments nearly as much when the author owns it. Well done! (Also, the unnecessary apostrophe bugged me, too.)

I’d love to know what happened next. I’m sure it was a hoot.
I… damn.
I feel like I’m missing a reference (should I know who Khajiit is?) but I like it anyway!
It’s ironic because thoughtful criticism is helpful. The “tell me why I’m wrong” bit is a remark meant for others, not you.
… how to best deploy the last-ditch global warming fix…
Trust me: as the decades go on and things get increasingly worse, more and more desperate measures will be tried. This is hardly “last-ditch”.
HEY WORLD LEADERS: make the world a less shitty place, so I don’t feel guilty about bringing a child into it, and I’ll rawdog more often. Do we have a deal?
This hasn’t crossed my mind in decades. Not even in a “remember when” sense.
lol good point. I’m a goddam genius!
Ironically, your reply is what I’m talking about. Tell me why I’m wrong! Point out what I missed!
Unenforceable wish: no limit on downvotes, but people should have to EXPLAIN them. I often learn more from opposing opinions than from statements of agreement. If I say something unpopular, I want to know WHY it’s so widely disliked. Maybe I’m unaware of something important.
Okay, I did laugh, but I have to point out that there are people caught in the middle. A lot of folks, no how loudly they yell, or how many flags they burn on TV, don’t actually want to kill anybody. They just want to live. They just want to take care of their families. That’s who liberals are trying to help.
A classic. Why didn’t I remember that?
Cotton Headed Ninny Muggins is the most racist-sounding thing I’ve ever heard that isn’t actually racist.
One of the reasons I DO think babies are cute is that I can walk away when they start making noise, smelling bad, or being generally unpleasant. They’re cute because they’re not my problem!
Good point! Of course, some will still call it “weaponizing the justice system” and/or “lawfare”.
This would be a relatively harmless and clear-cut opportunity for another Republican to step up and show they have some standards. Ahem.
Thank you. I couldn’t quite nail down what was fundamentally bothering me about that statement, but you did it for me!
I think you’re right. I also think that’s the real reason some conservatives hate college and cities. Living in close proximity to others exposes you to different perspectives, and (hopefully) teaches you that other points of view aren’t automatically wrong. Different isn’t necessarily bad. Your parents, and the values you grew up with, don’t have the solution to everything. Lines are much harder to draw.
I don’t like it either, but pretending differences don’t exist won’t make those differences go away.
They can whine about unscrupulous pitchmen all they want, but at some point, unethical behavior goes so far above and beyond that it becomes impressive.
I hope that whoever convinced McDonald’s to agree to this crap back in 2019 got an award and an obscenely gigantic commission.
