  • Related to the previous posts bit, but I remember first seeing the Man vs. Bear memes.

    I’ll admit it was hard not to take it personally at first, because even if you agreed with the core of the message, it feels like you’re being lumped in with the worst of menkind for no good reason. That’s probably why the reaction was so toxic, because people just replied with their gut reaction, which was to take offence…

    But upon giving it a bit of thought, I realised that as a guy who’s lived in some dodgy areas, I think I too would oftentimes prefer to take my chances with a bear than alone with a stranger at night - not cause I think I’d beat the bear, but at least you know what the bear’s probably gonna do…

    And if I feel that way being a man, then considering (on average) women are weaker than men of the same build, I can see why women would feel that way too.


  • As nice an idea as this is, I’d be willing to bet anyone who knows even an inkling about jury nullification will be filtered out before they’d make it onto the jury.

    I think we’re beyond the point of being surprised how far the justice system will go to bat for the rich, while (at best) ignoring all the poor they leave to die in their wake.


  • Yeah, even at Brian’s meager $10M/year salary, half a month is still about $415,000.

    I don’t know about you, but an awful lot of my life’s problems could be swept away fairly easily by $415,000.

    So it really does beg the question of just what are they doing with that money, or rather how are they lavishly wasting it away.
