Dude, it's a party politics problem really, compounded by corrupt electoral bullshit like the electoral college, gerrymanderind and malapportionment. The two party nominees at any election have never been the parties' best and/or brightest.

Nobody's making the obvious suggestion to chemically sterilise all athletes.

My blood runs cold! My dignity has just been sold. nVidia is the centerfold.

They're more powerful and influential than you think - they're not going anywhere. They might change their policies to suit the times (remember Lincoln was a Republican) but the so-called "Grand Old Party" ain't going nowhere unfortunately.

But apart from knowing their first name, and sometimes the first letter of their last name, and memorising their faces to turn them into Miis, that sounds COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS

That's the trouble with words like 'artificial' and 'natural'. They mean nothing. It would be better to call them refined additives, because I expect the "stevia" would be in a refined, extracted form when added - whether substantially changed from the form present in the plant or not, this could be considered artificial, if we insist on using this word.

It really means the bosses can't preside over a culture of fear quite so well if people aren't cowering outside their offices seeking their attention. They like to be the centre of attention and work being done remotely makes them feel just as meaningless as the rank and file workers.

No it isn't, there's no implication of that. Just that they won't reproduce until they see it happening.

"What's wrong with me, Doc?" "Well, you look like a fag, and your shit's all retarded."

Thanks for the evidence, will have a look.

Using a stun gun on a compliant driver isn't acceptable

I don't get upset about people not voting, I just believe democracy works better in countries where voting is compulsory. Also, a much easier change that few would oppose is that election day should be on the weekend. Well, the Jews and Christians might fight it out, but they both suck.

*hypothesis. A theory (in the scientific sense) has to be tested and therefore has at least some support!

If it kills the host, it's not a very successful parasite, or it's a parasitoid as only one other commenter has picked up. It's not in parasites' interest to kill their hosts, it usually happens when they infect a non-preferred host and the system responds differently, like the pork tapeworm Taenia solium which doesn't kill pigs but can be lethal in humans.

Democracy is a continuum, and we trade individual rights for collective benefits, like making healthcare and education free (and compulsory) for a better society. Americans just didn't read the contract and individuals are now fucked over in favour of the state and its oligarchs. You can disagree with me if you're an anarcho-syndicalist but my comparison relates to current, existing democracies (e.g. Belgium, Australia)

Palette. A pallet holds bricks and a palate tastes food

Brutal. There is a world beyond the American dystopia, you know.

Trickle-down Jesus, with an exceptionally wide stance.

The front fell off, so just tow it outside the environment

The logical error here is assuming it's about skin colour when it's in fact about centuries of exploitation in Africa that Musk benefited hugely from. I suppose it's not a logical error if one doesn't know about the history of colonialism in Africa.

It's reasonable to assume that any white person who lived in southern Africa (Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa in particular) moved there not for the safari or the lifestyle but for the eye-watering profits that came from exploiting the land as their resource and its peoples as their labour. A lot of contrarian arguments that get voted down on the internet focus on the minority view, and I think this is where you're coming from - unfortunately in the case of colonial Africa, there aren't very many clean hands at all, even if they weren't the ones being cut off.
