The child is being used to represent someone of Chinese citizenship, not just Chinese heritage. It's jingoism more than racism. Either way, I'm sure Lord Sugar is due for a stern lecture from Princess Bubblegum. I've spoken with representatives of Her Esteemed Bubbly Gumminess and have been assured...

If she's making bad arguments, attack them. This line of attack is pure political bullshit serving to deflect attention away from the substance of her argument and shift discussion into the nuances of source crediting. For an example of invalidating bad arguments: There is a sense here that using ot...

The fact that it's sophistry doesn't mean a court wouldn't rule that way.

You. You are not helping.

Go away, adults are trying to have a discussion.

I agree that "don't be that girl" posters are needlessly antagonistic and a poorly attempted reframing of the issue. To be fair, the original is framed pretty terribly also. Don't be that guy? Don't be that guy who would take advantage of a drunk girl. Because girls can't make their own c...

With other crimes, like murder or theft, assuming the innocence of the accused doesn't simultaneously imply that victim is lying about being a victim. With murder, there's a corpse - sure, maybe it was an accident, maybe it was suicide, but claiming the defendant didn't do it doesn't mean "ther...

Wow, it would have been quite some time before I stumbled upon that on my own.

In your honor:

Code: Select all

Thanks!!!

When you say objects are identical in python, I would normally take that to mean the id(obj1) == id(obj2). Is this the case? You might need to post the code for "liststuff" at some point. If I change obj1's list, obj2 and obj3's lists are changed as well. The superclass is 'Fief'. The sub...

Princess Marzipan

I'm working on a personal project in python. I have some classes that inherit some basic functionality from a superclass which inherits object. The superclass has an __init__ with steps relevant to all subclasses; the subclasses have their own __init__s which call super() on the superclass __init__....

Or maybe because, hey, you also have to follow the rules when admitting evidence against someone you don't like, too. As Belial asked...what rules, here? The video is from the inside of the police paddy-wagon. Roorda says the judge did right—he told News 4, police videos like these should be used t...

Princess Marzipan

Ugh.

Video tape shows cop elbowing teen in the face with no provocation. He goes to trial for assault, and the judge declares him not guilty *without even looking at the tape*, because video evidence should be used to protect police, not to go after them. ...

Most abortions don't require surgery. Abortions are also, on a per capita basis, about ten times safer than childbirth, which doesn't even require a doctor to be present. What on Earth? Requiring a doctor to be present for a birth would be impossible. [...] The 'required' here does not mean 'mandat...

Hippo, I love reading your posts, but I HATE cleaning all the shit out of my pants after seeing that avatar.

trigger warnings are the stupidest, most presumptious thing i've ever seen a waste of everyone's time, protect no-one except those who set out to be offended or broadcast their personal issues, and are a perverse symbol of internet liberal culture; a kind of we're so tolerant we have a whole conven...

If I were to cut your genitals off I doubt you'd think it was cosmetic. I wouldn't. I also wouldn't think it cosmetic if a surgeon sliced my dick in half. And yet... there are people who ask surgeons to slice their dick half! I'm curious as to how you know exactly where to draw the line - when does...

Ew. This is disgusting. The tl;dr is a couple of shady guys have a few shady websites that host profiles and contact information for sex offenders...and sometimes the information is inaccurate or doesn't even belong to a sex offender. Offenders Victims can pay money to have their information remove...

I really don't have sympathy. What Derek said.

This really needs to stop being used as justification for things like this. Why is it "suspicious" that they didn't want to let police in? Is it because the police had heard that there was domestic violence, maybe? If all they have to go on is the random tip and the refusal of entry...the...

And it does seem awfully suspicious that they were so unwilling to open the door to the police. No. Let me say that again: NO. This really needs to stop being used as justification for things like this. Why is it "suspicious" that they didn't want to let police in? Is it because the polic...

How many people bought Portal 2 knowing that it would be $5 last weekend? Or any of the numerous games that were originally subscription based that went F2P over the years.

I remember a particular big budget studio releasing a DLC for 10 bucks and then 8 months later making it free. A lot of people were like "hey! We paid for our copies" and the studio responded by saying "and you got to play it for 8 months before anyone got it for free". How many...

Given that you're trying to be obnoxiously snarky here, I'm going to assume that you mean to ridicule me for pointing out that despite me making some potentially erroneous assumptions, the thread has fallen pray to significantly worse, and at times, far more ignorant assumptions.

Ok, so, we assume they had myriad possible intentions with breaking and entering, theft, and releasing these animals. In what world is this not condemned?

I'm pretty sure a statement was released by the Green Pastures group to the effect of fighting against animal testing. If you look at their facebook page, it's got a bunch of pictures of them trashing labs and protesting against animal testing. I don't see how my assuming they're trying to save the...
