"Smoked too many onesies" isn't mockery of a dead woman? If that doesn't sound like mockery to you, that possibly explains a lot of the flack you get here.
Just want to share one resolution for Monday: I plan to support, with donations, more investigative journalism from independent zines and papers. We are living in days when digital advertising pays fractions of a penny and incentivizes cheap, sensational content. If we want people to vote for real candidates (versus, say, con artist blowhards) then we need to support organizations that do more than toss out clickbait. I think the triumph of clickbait and FB trolls and flaming tweets and foreign hackers is the real disaster of 2017.
Guess you're not as familiar with the subculture as you claim. |

That's their flaw, not mine. |

Mr. Utley's ability to read and reason has now gotten to the level of bambu-ilk.
Says RSW's twin. |

And so you decide that in order to win in 2018 you should be focusing exactly on this kind of crap, instead of advancing a message from the Democratic Party that will resonate with the voters. It's past time for you and the other left wing Dems to give up the daily ranting and drop the tearful outrage, and get busy with advancing something constructive. That's how you win elections. |

And end with. They impeach or don't. Don't, is my bet. I would tend to agree with you. Particularly if that disgusting Trump love-fest after he got the so-called tax cut bill passed is any indication. I can’t believe how the Republicans are now defending someone even they didn’t want back during the primaries. What happened to those ‘Never Trump’ Republicans? Complete abdication of their self respect. Shame now appears to be throughly absent within that party. Just win at all costs. |

High speed chases are stupid spectacles that put everyone on the road in danger for absolutely no net benefit.
True...but necessary in some circumstances....kidnapping of babies/adults, bank robbers, etc. Why? What are they going to do? Disappear into thin air? You can track their whereabouts with a drone and send the information to agents ahead who can simply wait for the car to arrive. Further, there is no reason that they can't put a kill switch into the car (which they do use for lenders, late on a payment? car won't start) to turn the motor off in the case of the extremely rare circumstance you describe. What else would work would be if your followers were placed into your circles as a result of their score. The higher their score the nearer the circle. Such that knuckle draggers are in the outer orbits and can only get to see your tweets if either they decide to get smarter or if someone closer to the center retweets.
However if the smartest people are in the closest proximity, they are less likely to retweet something stupid, like "It's cold today, so global warming is a hoax."
The globe heats up, the globe cools, naturally. In Australia, in 1929, birds were falling out of the sky dead it was so hot. Yeah? Interesting. Birds are usually smart enough not to fly when it's that hot. But, ok I'll play along. And what happened in 1930? was it hotter still? What was the situation in 1928? had the temperature been rising for years before? And what about that hole in the Ozone that used to be over Australia? Did that just arrive and then just go away by itself? Or was it there because of human actions? Actions that, when abated, resulted in the hole filling back in? The entire world (virtually) agrees that the global trend of warming is real. Except for some guy who figures he'll be dead before it makes a difference anyway. Oh, and you. It doesn't particularly matter why the Earth is warming. It makes a difference that it is and so it makes sense to do something to prepare yourself for it. A warming Earth means the size of the oceans will expand, and the oceans don't care that you're in the basement, they're coming in! |

"'Smoked too many onesies' isn't mockery of a dead woman? " Likewise, "Some say she was in it for the money." "If [those don't] sound like mockery to you, that possibly explains a lot of the flack you get here." [It also explains a lot of the flack he doesn't get, due to the inclusion of his handle on 9 ignore lists.] Many here do choose willful ignorance over any kind of challenge to their views. That's their flaw, not mine. No, not "any kind," your kind. Are you familiar with the concept of "axiomatic?" There are certain principles that have been established as basic truth. When someone comes along and constantly flouts the axioms claiming that they are "challenging their views." it isn't incumbent on those who hold to the axioms to re-present the proofs of the axiom. It is the job of the challenger to present their proof. When the challenger consistently refuses to accept the repeated refutation of their flawed proof it is natural for him to be shunned by the group. Obviously, you are not on my ignore list (right now). I do find your line of reasoning to be repulsive and boring (mostly boring). I would not, if I were you, consider that to be a badge of honor. |

I've resolved to cut way back on amusing clickbait in 2018, but this... http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/29/politics/donald-trump-new-york-times/index.html....was so funny, I couldn't resist. Trump took his very big brain over to the NYT and had a chat, it seems. Re global warming - as Josh link reminds, the latest polar vortex is in fact further evidence FOR global warming. GW doesn't mean it gets warmer everywhere all the time. Weather and climate are 2 different things. |

The day I start to care what you or any of the other self-important twits here think of me personally, has yet to come, nor likely ever will. The "group" is a circle jerk all wishing to remain self-contained within its chosen echo chamber. I've never cared to be part of such a fraternity of sheep. Shun away. |

If the presence of the polar vortex here in these areas where it doesn't usually make an appearance is "weather" rather than "climate" (and I agree), then its presence doesn't argue one way or another with regard to global warming. As you said weather and climate ARE different.

Weather and climate are different as a 3-game series vs the entire 162-game season. The climate change deniers are like those folks who project 145 wins for their favorite team once it's won its first two series in April. |
