The Divine Mother will be so pleased when she finds out the truth about Stef. Now we know where the donation money is going…prosthetic body suit and voice box implants.

I like the title, but I'm slightly offended by the overly large radius of the outer glow and the fact that the edges are clipped. I normally would report this to the Drop Shadow Anti-Defamation League, but I am feeling lenient. I also am not sure what the smoking blue and orange thing is?

He is accurately describing how most of the world operates: thinking whatever the hell you want and feeling a strong conviction about it. Not ever worrying about any objective truth outside of yourself or the fact that you might be wrong about something. I think everyone wants to FEEL right, but not everyone wants to actually BE right. We all want the same thing, but religious people are skipping the error-correction step and jumping directly to "Hey, I'm right!" It is quite sad that a religious person can feel so much less social anxiety by mentioning religion in conversation whereas the atheist feels like they must be all deferential and diplomatic about it. It's lame. I am not sure if its cowardice or being sensible, but people that actually want to BE right about the world shouldn't be the ones feeling social anxiety when they open their mouths.

Be READY to be pissed off? Wasn't that the point of the intro video?

I find stupid stuff funny like anyone else, but this isn't even funny. Like, I didn't even smile at any of these. And the property destruction is despicable. I hope they made those punks pay for it all. If you're stupid enough to video and publish yourself committing petty crime you deserve whatever you get. I guess it's a small step up from hitting people in the head?

So what if she was intoxicated? She wasn't the one who blew a stop sign and slammed into another car. Oh boy, glassy eyes and slurred speech…surely that has NOTHING to do with being hit by a car and slamming into a tree, breaking her neck in four places! Well, good on the Sheriff for at least TRYING to fire Jospeh Quiles. So much for that, overruled by committee.

1st video: My friend would do that, except he just introduced himself and I to the attractive woman(en) in a low voice with all the car windows rolled up. This is not a joke, we were just dorks. 2nd video: So…I take it this is "rape culture"? Is this really what it's like being a woman? You're under constant threat from rapists and creeps every waking moment of the day? I live in a world oblivious to all these dangers but to a woman every day is like walking through the lion's den slathered in antelope musk? Damn, this male privilege thing is awesome! Woo!

I dunno, even if it was an auto-erotic asphyxiation thing that wouldn't eliminate all the other evidence pointing towards Williams being overworked, extorted by ex-wiveslegal system, and dealing with substance abuse and depression. The exact manner of his death seems kind of unimportant in light of all that stuff. It's not like: Hey here's a guy on top of the world, everything going great for him and oops he died by jerking off and that's not news anyone wants, so let's cover it up with a phony story. And geez, if anyone thinks it's a good idea to flirt with death for an orgasm aren't they just possibly a bit suicidal to start with? I sure as hell would never try it. And if it is that good then it's something which could be solved by medical technology, as cringeworthy as that may be. Some sort of noosedefibrillator combo? Eeesh…

There's one subtle emotional manipulation that it seems nobody is above doing; not the media at large, not me and not even the mighty FDR staff; which is using juuuust the right photograph of the person you're criticizing that makes them look "bad". Not criticizing, I just find it amusing how universal that is. Personally I like the dead-eyed, no-catchlight mafioso pose of Ron Pal in that shot, he looks more badass than usual. Now that looks like "Doctor No"!

Indeed, a pretty person getting killed is THE most tragic thing that can happen. Also see: LOTR EowynWitch King fight scene for more You Go Girl audience pandering.

I know the phrase, but how has it been used and in what context?

Just curious, are the obvious injustices of alimony an inevitable part of the legal system of marriagedivorce or can it be avoided by some other legal means?

The question now is, can we say "ARGENTINA" when asked, "Give me ONE example of an anarcho-capitalist system working ANYWHERE!"? No of course not, it's the question of which no answer is ever acceptable to the idiot asking it. Oh well.

Yes, you will want to look as much as possible like an Australian Floyd from the Electric Mayhem.

Human immortality would be a can of worms the size of a grain silo. If immorality comes before people evolve to a far more peaceful anarchistic worldview there's going to be some serious troubles. People with poisonous ideas now have the option to extend their lives indefinitely. The immortal politician, the immortal narcissist… If that doesn't send a chill down yer spine—yikes!

Uhhh…did you read your own article? Let's try that sentence again: The patent office, with its rampant corruption, staff of deadbeat employees who lie about working, nevertheless plays a crucial role in supporting the nation’s commerce and economic dev…BWAHAHAHA!!! Ok sorry, couldn't keep a straight face on that one. No honest, this building full of paper pushers is critic…*snicker*…is critcal to the natio…*tsss tsss tsss*…to the nation's econom…HAHAHA! I'm sorry, I'm done, I can't keep it in! BWAHAHAHA!!!

When in doubt, cops should be treated as wild animals. They don't understand your human ways, they are potentially deadly and you should not provoke them. Sure, some animals are also friendly just like cops can be, but you can't afford to assume that. It would be nice if they acted like firefighters, but that is not the world we live in. With any luck they will leave you alone. 2nd stage means you will have to pay them money. 3rd stage means you're going to be physically injured, killed or jailed. You absolutely should defend yourself if it comes to that, but if you have any control over your side of the interaction don't let it come to that. They can and will get away with murdering you and get paid for it. The law is worthless.

Not sure how much time I'd spend listening to anyone who can't even be bothered to find a Stef head at the proper angle.

And the sad thing is that if you called the guy a "cocksucking vampire pedophile " he'd be all offended. * Tradition! Tradition…*

I think the model of the rebelious childoutsider only exists because parents weren't doing it right. But that model is so pervasive that we can't imagine otherwise. If your parents aren't anywhere on the scale of absuive then what is there to rebel against? That model of human behavior can be discarded. If there is child rebellion in a more libertarian future I am sure it will be even more libertarian rather than more statist. "Aww geez dad, DROs…are you serious? That is so 2075!"

At first I was all like, "Awww" But then I was all like. "Doh!" and then I was all like, "Oh fer cryin' out loud…" http://nuttyrepublic.com/wrote-letter-daughter-telling-truth-society-will-force-forget/ Hysteria over Photoshop is somewhat of a pet issue of mine. What I see when I see people protesting so strongly about it is an utter lack of self confidence and an apparent lack of self control. If you were confident with yourself why are you losing your mind over a glossy magazine? Why are you abdicating all of your self esteem to the actions of other people? I find art and beauty to be fascinating, I think our attraction to it is fundamental and mathematical (golden ratio and such). But so many take it as a yardstick, which if you fail to reach it, you must flagellate yourself endlessly with (and simultaneously complain about doing???). Okay, maybe not the WHOLE truth.

My delight with the actions of Mike Watts is matched by my contempt for the mealy-mouthed bureaucrat-speak from the council. While they are out there with their infinite budget of stolen money, infinite licenses and approvals, they did NOTHING but WHINE. Meanwhile one guy with some money fixed the problem. It's done, he finished it. The road exists. Mike Watts GOT IT DONE while the council was sitting around playing Minesweeper. He singlehandedly proved the uselessness and inaction of government. Mike Watts ate their fucking lunch. I think he deserves the same level of public support as Cliven Bundy.
