- Comment on WATER! 4 days ago:
I went to a restaurant in Dallas near the stadiums where asking for “water, please” got us a glass bottle of whatever rich-people water they served.
Everything was expensive and the food was super whatever. It’s called Soy Cowboy, if anybody’s curious.

- Comment on Any advice on how to deal with "get a gun" comments about daughter? 2 weeks ago:
I really like the idea of playing dumb with this.
“Why would I get a gun?”
“Protection from whom?”
“Why wouldn’t I trust her to make smart decisions regarding potential romantic partners?” - Comment on Any advice on how to deal with "get a gun" comments about daughter? 2 weeks ago:
Personally I wouldn’t wait to get to that point. Had I made it clear early on that “used to be okay” jokes or comments were not, in fact, okay, I probably would have saved myself a lot of heartache.
Confronting loved ones over unacceptable behavior is a necessary skill that takes practice to develop, and I would have been better served if I had done so from the start with my in-laws.
Perhaps I wouldn’t repeat OP verbatim, but there are a lot of ways to get the basic point across.

Just finished the musical episode in Season 2, which was quite silly, but it’s all so fun that it’s hard to criticize. This is a show that knows what it is and revels in it.

It was very in the open, but Trump said he didn’t know anything about it, so the sycophants believed him.

Not really, it’s super stable. Just don’t let it get to a few thousand degrees, because then it might burn.

Yeah, man, I get it. Language is complex. I’m not advocating for the reinvention of English, it was just a conversational observation about a silly quirk.

Do you think it’s a matter of choosing a complexity to care about?
- Comment on The Trump Administration is Building a National Citizenship Data System; State and county election officials can now check the citizenship status of their entire voter lists. 2 months ago:
I think in most cases where this administration seems to have a good idea it’s important to remember that it’s likely designed to keep them in power.
A national database that the trump admin controls will 100% be exploited for their own gain, just like every other aspect of government is being exploited for their gain now.

Kinda dumb that apostrophe s means possessive in some circumstances and then a contraction in others.
I wonder how different it’ll be in 500 years.

I don’t think that the semantic discrepancy is really the point.

Isn’t the BC/AD crossover supposed to be for Jesus’s birth?
I just think it’s funny to say Harambe was born 17 years Before Harambe.

That’s a self-defeating attitude. Be careful with what you’re looking for, because you’re likely to find it. If you’re looking for reasons that she doesn’t like you, you’re going to find them!

- Comment on Too bad we can't all act like this 2 months ago:
I’ve thought about it and I really should have just let that guy in. I don’t remember all of the details, I just remember feeling righteously indignant afterward, so that’s how I tell the story. It was probably just a coincidence that we ended up at the same speed right next to each other and it would have been super easy to just move over, barely an inconvenience.
- Comment on Too bad we can't all act like this 2 months ago:
In the US the person in the acceleration lane/on-ramp is responsible for merging with the flow of traffic on the highway, presumably because the person already on the highway has less opportunity to yield safely.
One time, in the middle of the night on an empty highway, as a car was getting on they accelerated right up next to me and then did the same speed as me until the acceleration lane ended and then honked at me for being in their way.
I don’t think I was in the wrong there even if it would have been easy to change lanes for the other car. They could have just as easily merged ahead of or behind me.

People don’t like when you don’t answer their question because it doesn’t give them an answer to their question. Just answer the question first and then hop on your high horse to tell them why it’s not going to work.
