With the whole Arpaio thing, I've found that Trump supporters are actually supporting this decision. I'm now convinced they'd support him if he was actively facefucking each and every one of them before stabbing them in the ear, saying things like "At least it's not Hillary!" and "at least he looks out for us!"

I really don't think THIS is the best example of "Trump is going Hulkamania!"

This pardon is controversial indeed, but the crime in question is "Contempt of court"... and it SEEMS that Trump did so because of the Sheriff's strong stance against Illegal immigrants.

If anything this is one of the least examples of abusive pardonings. So you are going to need to wait... say... I dunno... a week before Trump does something TRUELY corrupt and stupid.

My jaw always pops when I open it wide enough. Then it has to pop again when I close.

Maybe you should stop trying to eat giant burgers.

"These winds are now up to 1000 miles per hour! Sure, the fake news will tell you 120, 130...but they also said I'd never get 270 electoral votes."

I swear one of these days exactly that is going to happen.

oh and i should mention that humans are in fact biologically monogamous although that does not imply sexual monogamy

Good catch. The writing on the wall SEEEEEEEEMS to suggest humans are not naturally sexually monogamous.

There is even strong suggestion that humans aren't monogamous species.

But the creepy thing? In the future they might have a drug that makes you monogamous.

While controversial, common law marriage does state that all you have to be, in order to be married, is live together.
Controversial because some people live with family?

Controversial because that law states that if you, say, have a female room mate... BOOM! you are married!

Not just adoption. Hereditary rights in case one of the partners dies is another reason for gay marriage to be legally possible.
And then there's just plain basic non-discrimination.

Ahh yes I forgot it helps incase someone falls into a mulcher.

What SHOULD be controversial is government getting directly involved in marriage in the first place.

People gave them that power in order to litigate divorce proceedings, property and ownership between families, and many other things. Plus there are some protections marriage offers such as accessory or incrimination.

Or rather the government gets involved when it needs to negotiate things between people.

Though Legally for a gay couple... Gay marriage is better to not exist than the other way around. At least from what I understand of the way it is set up (unless there are really nice tax breaks I am unaware of)...

Err wait.. MAYBE adoption is easier for legally married people... That would be a genuine benefit.

Pillars of eternity is a very interesting game, but I'm kind of disappointed that the game engine seems to railroad me towards dumpstatting resolve.... which is really important rp-wise. I can avoid that if I go chanter, since chanter chants are independent of stats barring int  so I can dumpstat other stuff. But it feels a bit lame, in part because I'm unsure as to what a chanter actually is, in part because in most battles I dont really get to do very much

Part of the reason I find Pen and Paper RPGs (and games that copy them) so aggravating is how specialized the characters are and need to be.

To the extent where I am more skilled and more knowledgeable then ANY Pen and Paper RPG character.

You would think a Wizard College might have gym, but apparently Wizards took competitive sleeping as a extra curricular.

Astronauts wouldn't exist in the dungeons and dragons universe.

Sometimes I think YouTube is overzealous.

I watch ONE video on Amy Schumer not being a good comedian and then saying everyone who doesn't like her is a troll... (that and her being Barbey)

And now I am being flooded by every single Amy Schumer criticism under the sun. YouTube I get it!

It is just so weirdly specific.

Two people...er mounting each other and sharing property doesn't sound like it's just "symbolic".

They have that anyway.

While controversial, common law marriage does state that all you have to be, in order to be married, is live together.

It is for the recognition, symbol, or principle of the matter... rather than anything tangible or factual.

Government-recogized gay marriage makes no sense.

I get the impression it isn't supposed to make sense. It is an appeal to emotion, but I think that... is the point?

It is like a Trophy. We already know you are the best, why do you need a trophy for it?

Seems to be a lot of videos that suggest that marriage is becoming less and less appealing to men...

MOSTLY because marriage offers less and less to men, and they get less ownership of their things, space, and time.

It seems to be quite sound reasoning from what I've seen and read.

Before you ask "Why is it controversial?" well, if you look at a lot of studies that look towards why men don't want to be married they tend to crucify them and put the blame onto men themselves.

(Seriously YouTube why so many of these in my YouTube suggestions? I don't even watch male oriented videos >_<)

None of this unfortunately applies to me...

Acupuncture isn't really THAT deep. It is about manipulating nerves in the skin... Not about anything deeper than that.

If you want a HUGE WTF... Just read about Acupuncture and the sheer amount of weird stuff involved.

I'll sum it up as this: Did you know you can control the entire human body from any part of the human body?

No, smjjames is right: both the Daily Mail and the Washington Times (as distinct from the Post) are known for being right-wing.

Ahhh :P

Mixed it up because the other news sites do a different spin.
