USB DVD drives are super cheap.

Just saying.

He was forced to, how? Nobody has the power to force him do anything.

He read the writing on the wall and stepped aside. Something Trump would never do.

God, I wish it were that easy.

Too many of them weren't joking. That was a rather popular conspiracy theory during the Obama years; that Michelle is trans (or, to hear them tell it, "really a man") and their daughters are actors.

The one I was thinking of is, "It's somebody's fetish. No exceptions."

Brings new meaning to the Salt-N-Pepa song.

Everyone talks about Rule 34, but nobody mentions the equally valid Rule 36.

He made The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. I will love him forever.

Again, you're giving massive benefit of the doubt by assuming the psychotic parent is not racist and that he's telling the truth about the bullying situation, especially when his actions don't seem to match his words.

Just because he says he's not racist, doesn't mean he's not racist. And his actions look pretty damn racist.

Because even a moment's consideration will tell you a situation where the district superintendent and only the district superintendent is responsible for poor handling of a disciplinary situation is extremely fucking unlikely.

You are going out of your way to give a psychotic parent who assaulted a school official benefit of the doubt that he has not earned.

Then why specifically the superintendent? Even if this was a bullying issue with an unsatisfactory conclusion, there's no way he would have engaged with the superintendent of the district without engaging with the principal first. They would both have failed to resolve the problem, so why would he have gone after the superintendent specifically and left the principal there to shake his daughter's hand?

And, of course, the other issue is, even if that was true, that doesn't make what he did OK. He's marginally less shitty by virtue of not being openly racist, but he still made sure that his daughter's last memory of high school is him getting arrested for assaulting the district superintendent and embarrassing her in front of the entire graduating class and their families.

You should watch the movie. It's all kinds of fun.

So, we eat the cops as a side dish when we eat the rich, right?

Same.

XP actually wasn't great on release, though I don't know anybody who clung to ME, considering it was itself a huge dumpster fire. It wasn't until SP1 hit that XP got really good.

Most of us were just riding out 98SE as long as we could until MS got their shit together. Some people had 2000, but it wasn't really a consumer-class OS; it was meant more for the enterprise.

At the rate we're going, this is what Windows 12 will look like.

I always looked at Team America as a satire of right wing thought. Basically the Bush worldview taken to comical extremes.

I know Parker and Stone are lolbertarians, but they managed to actually skewer the right pretty well back in the day.

And what chance do you think the Democrats are going to have to reform after Donald Trump undoes the entire democratic process and proclaims himself president for life?

He's not going to go away quietly. We know this. He proved it on 1/6, and he's outright saying it out loud again now. Stop pretending he's just another politician. He's a wannabe despot, and we need to not give him another chance to become an actual one.

Look, Biden is garbage. The Democrats are garbage. But at least they're garbage that play by the fucking rules. If Trump wins, I honestly do not believe we are going to get another chance at this.
