    - Man, I didn't realize NBC News' credibility was that bad around here. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 19, 11:04 6
      - Hey, I'm just trying to post what conservatives think. For discussion. -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 11:16 5
        
        I'd just like us all to try to be less assholic to one another. Every time we're petty, Trump's hate-based policies win. -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:20 2
        
        Yeah! Time Out! Lets all sing some ABBA together! -- nm - crash davis Jul 19, 11:21 1
        
        I specifically asked you to be *less* assholic, Crash! -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:23
        
        It really shouldn't need to be pointed out, again, but there's a big difference between NBC and InfoWars. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 19, 11:18 1
        
        I'm not comparing NBC and Infowars. I'm saying "maybe I should post a story about a small group with a controversial view and see what happens" -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 11:27
- I feel like I missed a step. -- nm - David Jul 19, 10:58 17
  - the gender neutral discussion on B2. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 10:59 16
    - Oh. So, your lesbian friends tried to be gender neutral but kept getting pregnant? -- nm - David Jul 19, 10:59 15
      - IIRC they gave up on the idea before getting pregnant the second time. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 11:00 13
        
        What were the mechanics of it? How does one even go about trying it? -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:01 12
        
        no "gendered" colours, no pronouns - I think it became basically impossible once she hit pre-school age. -- nm - Reagen Jul 19, 11:04 11
        
        I assume to properly pull this off, one must be home-schooled. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 19, 11:13 1

        It's insane. I've watched my kid on that with an eye towards how she played with them. She loves them but associates none of the "negatives". - Name Withheld by Request Jul 19, 11:13
        
        This is a touchy subject in some Disney communities, and I don't understand it. They're all wonderful role models. -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:10 6
        
        I don't think they all are. Later ones for sure but I can see how someone would have issues with say Snow White and Aurora. - JD Jul 19, 11:21
        
        Not so much now, but allll the traditional ones got rescued by men and basically marry off as teenagers to some guy who just shows up. -- nm - Andie Jul 19, 11:20 3
        
        I realize that, but it hasn't been true since the 1950s. Since The Little Mermaid, all Disney Princesses are big damn heroes. - David Jul 19, 11:23 2

- I think this is by far the more plausible explanation for Trump's actions than suggestions that Putin "has something on him." - Max Jul 19, 11:21
- I'm in agreement. We've been trending toward neo-feudalism for at least 30 years and it's only getting worse. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Jul 19, 11:04

      - I'm confused. It looks like I can buy this on ThinkGeek. Is that not right? -- nm - David Jul 19, 11:11 1
        
        Some of them can be bought from outlets, some are convention floor exclusives. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 19, 11:13

RC, you still rocking that full on beard? - IrishStephen Jul 19, 10:45 6
- I sure am! And I do go to a barber, though not as often for a haircut. - ReluctantCynic Jul 19, 10:53 2
  - Good to know! I've been using Maestro's beard butter and wash, but I saw that Honest Amish stuff and was curious about it, as well. - IrishStephen Jul 19, 11:05 1

- No, folded pizza is a taco. Two pieces of pizza together can be, though -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 19, 10:37
- Pizza crust does not equal bread. A folded over pizza is a calzone missing a crust on a side or two. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 19, 10:36
- Yes, generally BREAD-STUFF-BREAD means it's a sandwich. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 19, 10:35
