(or whatever you can it)

Sane-washing. Pretending that the things coming out of his mouth aren't stupid or incomprehensible. If the news is pretending he makes sense, the country only knows he doesn't if they actually listen to him speak, and no one actually listens to him speak.

And then you'll talk to less tech-savvy people about it, and they'll FOMO themselves into getting HBO.

Congratulations, you're doing marketing for JK!

There's no reason to engage with anything Harry Potter anymore. There's plenty of less problematic fantasy stories.

Hey, the Baileys are from Long Island, not Kansas!

No, but seriously, fuck this dude.

Three of the biggest hit films of 1999: The Matrix, Fight Club, and American Beauty. The inciting incident in all three was, "Man, life is kind of boring..."

I fucking wish that was my problem.

I only went clubbing in Germany twice, and neither time looked at all like that. Honestly, the Germans I was with partied so hard that I couldn't even keep up. I spent half the night sitting in the corner, letting the room spin, while these guys were going nuts until sun-up.

Lou Diamond Philips has always been hot. And he's aging like wine: every time I see him, he looks even better.

Yeah, I almost wrote a whole counterpoint on how horrible the current child welfare system is and how nearly every trained professional agrees that breaking up families should only be the last resort in the most extreme circumstances, but I had a feeling this thread wasn't the target audience for that particular reality.

My BIL told me he could've been as rich and successful as Trump, but he just didn't have it in him to work that hard day in and day out.

Meanwhile, Trump just had his 101st golf outing this past weekend. Nearly a quarter of his current term has been on the links.

One: that's not what was suggested. OP said parental verification/authorization before birth.

Two: you're proposing something like residential schools instead. Which, even if you don't agree constituted genocide, was still pretty bad.

I'm not advocating for our government's insane privacy-violating measures. Just pointing out that OP's proposal is worse. There's got to be better ways to protect children than "police state" or "genocide."

She's the only state-level official a New Yorker can like at this point.

Who is getting charged? By whom? When do you think this would happen?
