I'm from "you guys" but I've lived in "y'all" and now I'm forever team "y'all," regardless of where I'm living.

It's the best export from the south, except maybe Texas brisket and pecan pie.

PEOPLE FALLING FOR THIS SHIT AGAIN IS INSANE

  • Me, everyday, reading any news lately.

Yes, this is exactly how I would define it.

I also don't think it imparts a general pro/anti integration with locals (not to say some assholes aren't out there).

If I was thinking of immigrating elsewhere, I'd want to be near a few other people from my country who've been there longer than me, if only to make the transition easier and to get help with any issues specific to people from the same place.

Every time I see a question in a news headline, I just answer it with "no." in my head and move on. 90% of the time it's the same answer the article arrives at and the other 10% of the time, I'll see a real headline about it from other sources anyway--with the actual lede in the title.

What if I told you it was also about manipulating voter opinions.

Like how the superdelegates were all pledging their votes to Hillary way ahead of the first primaries. Or how the DNC pushed Hillary over Bernie, as was clear in the Debbie W.S. leaked DNC emails. Also, the widespread pressure from party darlings on Bernie to drop out.

Messaging from the media was to blame as well. This was reflected in:

  • Lack of coverage of the polling that showed the better margin of success in a Bernie v. Trump matchup against a Hillary v. Trump matchup. This one is especially egregious, in my opinion, since a lot of the Hillary supporters I personally knew voted for her in the primaries because they assumed she had a better chance of winning.

  • Lack of coverage about Bernie's higher popularity with independent voters in polls.

  • Widespread reporting when Hillary decided to label Bernie supporters as basement dwellers.

  • Hillary accused Bernie of being sexist and the media did terrible due diligence.

Damn intersex people, doing crimes by being born. Let's arrest them immediately out of the womb. /s

Sucks that breast augmentation will be banned for girls under 18. And I assume likewise for guys regarding treatment for gynecomastia.

The party of rAtIOnAliTY aNd lOgiC would know that those are also gender affirming, right?

Stumbled on this while researching tablet PCs and clicking on a Reddit "post" from Google results. I take no pride in any part of that sentence.

Not to mock, but to test the separation of church and state and whether all religions really are allowed to participate.

Don't forget Pornhub. If they spun off a non-porn-centric version of their platform, they might be able to take a substantial market share, given their existing infrastructure. And as a bonus, they already have creator monetization tools.

Sure hope there's going to be education available alongside the psychedelics for ~~sale~~ acquisition. It'll help people learn about set and setting, etc., but most importantly, education and prep will mean less bad trips and less idiots running their mouths to the anti-drug crowd.

I mean, you're basically describing the point of intersectional activism.
