Is that… how that works?

He’s just projecting from how his family would feel if he got shot.

I’m a little blown away by the percentage of people who, when asked a question about something they know they do not know decide to express an opinion.

It’s not that republicans were showing prejudice when they said no. It’s the democrats were so eager to not show prejudice they didn’t say no as much. That all makes so much sense.

ā€œCivil society doesn’t exist, friendship doesn’t exist, family doesn’t exist,ā€ Gorka raged, suggesting the cartoon is part of a grander left-wing ideology. ā€œOnly permanent revolution.ā€

I see that Gorka’s desperate for some of that extremist Infowars dough since he got fired for being too obvious about being an actual Nazi.

Can someone tell Ted Cruz (and, presumably, Trump) that Ice Pirates is not a documentary?

What’s next, Mike Pence giving an impassioned speech about how we have to close the portal to Hell on Mars?

This is something that has become so common it’s actually revolting to me on a daily basis. It’s something little children normally grow out of but we’ve… just decided not to grow up I guess?

…but it’s going to be all touchy-feeling.

The Kivitis are each biologically related to their children. Under the policy, however, children born via gestational surrogacy and other forms of assisted reproductive technology (ART) are considered to be born ā€œout of wedlock,ā€ in the State Department’s words—even if their parents, like Roee and Adiel, are legally married.

Wow. I have the feeling that if this bastard rule bites hetro couples with kids via ART, they’ll bend the rules to allow it, or perhaps write them off as acceptable collateral damage.

What the actual fuck?
Okay not being legally married anymore I can begrudgingly get… Still wrong as hell but how could that strip citizenship?
I really am fucking tired of this stupid timeline.

Um… isn’t our entire numeric system ā€œArabic?ā€

So they’re basically saying that we shouldn’t teach American kids to count or do basic math?

Holy fucksocks, that’s both blindly STUPID and bigoted as all fuck.

Right?

If you’re born here, you’re a fucking citizen, full-stop.

My own hetero parents weren’t married, but what the fuck all does that have to do with my being a natural born citizen?

Nothing, and the same should go for all same sex parents.

As long as they break for required station identification EBS tests and PSAs, they won’t be breaking FCC rules (assuming 45 isn’t dropping fucks left and right at these ā€œralliesā€.)

@anon50609448: Better supposition is more Dems are educated enough to know Arabic numerals are the numbers we use every day.

It is massively stupid, but (and I may be misreading the survey) but I think it may have just been a survey thrown up on Twitter with no context, just ā€œDo you want your kids taught Arabic numeralsā€, so – given the knee-jerk no-research clickbait over there – I will lean more on the ignorant/stupid explanation of people who literally don’t know the term and are baffled as to why we’re introducing a new numerical system of any kind. (basically, I wish this kind of buzzfeed-level clickbait crap wouldn’t get the media traction it’s getting)

I wonder if this is the same group that wanted pi changed to be 3. Maybe they are referring to Eastern Arabic numerals (which our numbers are based on)? Somehow I doubt there’s that level of nuance at play here.

Bottom line is most mathematics came from Islamic scholars. Hell, the words algebra and algorithm are Arabic loanwords. People have become conditioned now to assume anything Islamic, Arabic, or vaguely Middle Eastern instantly means ā€œterrorismā€ while ignoring anything else.

Idiocracy was supposed to be a dark comedy, not something aspirational.
