I’m imagining that his wife will never hear the end of it. “See honey, and you said I didn’t need to carry two guns around all the time. Well look who was right about that.”

Go for it. It’s… exhausting and frustrating, but worth a watch.

You’re right, that’s not a recap, but I watched both and it does pretty well capture the spirit of how the debate went. Yes, you’ll need to watch it, or an actual recap, to get the details of what the two said about the various other topics, but what Stewart highlighted was very representative of the rest of it.

That’s good to know. Generally about what I expected based on the concerns about her I’ve read. The Greens really could use some leadership that is actually competent, because they’re not wrong about their overarching point, even if she seems to be wrong about most everything else.

Oh yes, I was cheekily agreeing with that. It’s always good to spread the information that the end result of a person who isn’t specifically trained in rescue swimming attempting to swim out and rescue a drowning person is almost always just the two drowning together, even if the would-be rescuer is an otherwise strong swimmer.

I realize that other comments have already explained the law better than I could. I still wanted to say that fortunately, jumping in to drown alongside them doesn’t legally count as “helping,” so there is no expectations for anyone to do so.

I don’t know any of her specific policy ideas, so I can’t comment on those, but I was under the impression that her main idea was the whole “we should all stop trashing the planet we all live on” thing, which is, generally speaking, a very good idea. I admit that doesn’t mean her plans to do something about it are any good.

I had guessed it was Sri Lanka since it is also shown just off the coast of India. Then I figured it was more likely Indonesia given it’s surrounded by so many other islands and not that close to India. But yeah, now that I know that the name meant Japan I’m wondering if it’s depiction on the map is a conflagration of accounts of Indonesia and Japan.

How dare you, I’m sure that they are good patriotic American English professors! They’re just from a different state than you.

For me, I make things like key and wallet discipline a muscle memory. I literally practiced putting my keys where they belonged like it was some sort of challenging skill to learn. As a consequence when I put my keys down without thinking as normal, they always end up where they belong.

No, don’t you all see? He’s actually so genius that we mere mortals can’t comprehend his brilliance, as attested to by his multiple friends who are totally real English professors who exist and spend time with him, and are definitely not fictitious people he just made up on the spot to try to strengthen an obviously bullshit argument. Well, no, you wouldn’t have heard them, because they, um, teach at a different school, but the important part is that they are intelligent enough to see the clever underlying structure of his wide ranging and definitely intellectually brilliant speeches, which the rest of us apparently aren’t.

I think it’s not so much people who are undecided about who they will vote for, and more people who are undecided whether they will bother to vote for their preferred candidate or just stay home.

It’s not the gaff, but the cover up.

My personal opinion on fishing as a pastime is funny. The idea of sitting by the lake for a few hours with friends and beers sounds like good fun, but as soon as you add that I’ll also be waiting for a fish to strike, it suddenly sounds dreadfully boring to me. I just hate waiting on things.

Yeah, “racial discrimination lawsuit” sounds like a bunch of woke Democrat talk to me.

Seriously, I do hope he wins some money off of those assholes, but I hope even more that this was a wakeup call for him about the sort of people he was affiliating with, and the sort of views he has been supporting.

I love how this looks like it was taken out of context, but he really was making a joke about Trump’s obsession with crowd size while making that gesture.

I don’t keep up with warlock seniority in New York and I don’t know who Magnus Bane is, but I read in another comment that John Ramirez is now a former warlock who says he died, went to hell, repented, and was sent back to life to preach against Satan. I’m not ready to take the guy’s word about all that, but it’s clear he no longer is taking up the top warlock spot, assuming he ever did, so there’s currently no conflict with Mr. Bane holding that title.

Sure, anyone can look around and see anecdotal evidence that Astrology is nonsense, but it’s nice to have a large statistical data set cleanly proving it.

Classic Italian mistake.

Yeah, the American West has a huge variety of very distinct biomes. For the purpose of telling a story though, one rocky desert or forested mountain vale or whatever is as good as another, leaving us, the audience, largely unaware and misled. We mostly only notice when they do that to areas we’re familiar with.

Reminds me of the movie The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson. There’s a scene where he is at his home in what is clearly the upcountry of South Carolina not too far from the Appalachians and he takes a walk down his garden path to visit his wife’s grave, which is located in the South Carolina lowcountry, by the coast, somehow skipping past over a hundred miles of pine forest that would have been between those areas. If you’re not familiar with those areas, they both just look like areas in the American Southeast, but if you are familiar, it’s very jarring.
