  • So I was gonna make fun of her without reading the article. But I stopped myself and read it.

    Student wants to have a republican club, at a Historically black university. In order to be recognised officially by the uni you need a staff member with 3 years at the uni to sign of/endorse your club. She has emailed at least 2 faculty and both have declined. She does not say how many she has reached out to or in what way. Everyone should feel so sad for this poor woman who just wants to be heard!

    No I kidd. She’s a whiner and an idiot looking for attention. She says she has met with 3 other students a few times unofficially, yet the minimum to be recognised officially as a group is 10. So even if she could get a sign off by a faculty, she doesn’t have enough people interested in her garbage to qualify anyways (my soul brightens just slightly at this thought)

    And why is she emailing random faculty? How many classes is she taking? Did she ask each of those professors, in person? Seems like she is trying to raise a stink without putting in any of the work. Wahhhhh! you won’t recognise my shitty club! Help help I’m being oppressed!

    The only smart thing in that whole article was the thought that in order to change the GOP you need people in it who aren’t shitba… Excuse me, who represent all walks of life and colours of skin. But frankly, that’s a looooooong game to be playing…




  • K so I helped build that transporter room. And I helped build the one we built inside it because this one didn’t look star-trek enough. Look closely at the Discovery’s transporter room.

    Also fun story: when I was working on this (with hundreds of others) one job that took forever was the rectangular black tiles that make up the back wall. I spent days, I think it was close to 1500 of them, plywood laminated to some sort of firm sound foam, run through the table saw for each of the beveled edges… Carefully mounted to this bracket thing that the welding guys must have built. It was one of the earliest sets they wanted done, and they ended up using it for some early promo pictures of our hero…

    One of the earliest released shots of Michael were in the transporter room, and dead centre behind her on the wall of a hundred tiles, is one super crooked tile. I can’t find the pic right now, but it’s obvious… I don’t know how nobody saw it during the shoot, or at least in post…

    I facepalmed so hard. All our hard work and we looked like we hired a toddler last minute.












  • Did Trump’s campaign have credible evidence she didn’t? Was there any reason for them to suspect she was lying?

    It’s a waste of time to prove every little facet of someone existence, not matter how “easy” it would be.

    Instead, let’s ignore wild bullshit accusations of lying unless we are presented with some sort of evidence that backs it up, or come up against a strong reason to need to know (I can’t even think of a decent reason in this example…)

    If Harris is caught in a lie about something related (lied about her qualifications during a campaign speech or something) THEN maybe demanding she look up her records and print some proof would carry some weight.

    As of now, I’m just tired of this double standard. They squaxk and squak and demand proof for every little thing, it’s just to waste time and energy.



  • Even more straight forward and valid points.

    I ‘get’ the “oh you are flying the wrong flag so you aren’t the boss of me” desperate misinterpretations of semi-related laws. It’s stupid, but it takes time to explain and honestly it takes a fair amount of trust in a system that usually is working against them (because they are deadbeat parents or idiots who don’t want to pay taxes).

    The driving thing is so straight forward you could explain it to a 6 year old.


  • Right - those visitors either have a passport and were granted permission to enter for a set period of time, or they too would be picked up and deported back to their country.

    There’s a lot of rabbit holes that I can see people with poor reasoning/logic getting stuck down, but this one seems pretty easy to explain…
