SARGE

The system is working as it was designed.

It just wasn't designed for so many idiots.

"in error"

Also known as: "Someone higher up took a bribe or inserted personal politics into a government agency and we got caught doing nothing about it. "

If you notice a lot of companies moving to your area, demand to know why your government isnt taxing them on par with your neighbors and why they hate their citizens/constituents so much.

Looking at you, Delaware...

I don't think I know anyone who would consider an "Israeli-American" to be white, or even any whiter than "Lebanese-American", and I'm solidly Midwestern.

I kind of want to send out a bunch of messages to people asking if they consider one "white" or "whiter" than the other...

I know plenty of people who will give Israel carte Blanche simply because it "needs to exist for Jesus to come back" though, so answers wouod be skewed I imagine.

Sorry I didn't really answer your question, I'm interested to hear other people's takes as well.

Back in the day, if I read "Sitting president calls for a coup d'état after hearing he lost the election" we could laugh and go "oh, you silly satirical newspaper, such a thing would never happen, this was an amusing diversion from the mundane!"

Now we go "Oh my god, turn on basically any news channel, there's people trying to murder congress and hang the vice president and nobody is trying to stop them" and continue on FOR FOUR GODDAMN YEARS LIKE NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED

Imagine how much of an insecure, whiny little baby you have to be to look at a LITERAL CHILD and say "yep. I'm picking a fight with this CHILD"

Sure would be a shame if [REDACTED] happened to these board members and pigs.

Would it be in poor taste to say "Hey, I've seen this one before!"?

This sounds like something that was made up for a fallout game.

Of course, so does "bombarding myself with xrays and moving around to entertain the audience looking at my bones" and "including uranium in paint to make watch dials glow"

Damn I love me some sailing ships...

Tall ships are my favorite, but if I had to choose, I'd pick a 40ft catamaran for myself.

The article language wry much makes it sound like attempted murder, "lunging at her with a knife" you don't hold a knife toward someone and rush toward them unless you're planning on stabbing them.

Neither I nor the article writer were there, so we don't know the exact motion, but the words of the article make it sound like attempted murder to me.

Not enough comments saying "WHAT WAS THAT AT THE CORNER/BEHIND THE STRUT/BEHIND THAT ROCK" like they've just spotted indisputable proof of aliens that no one will ever believe.
