Fernandez’s former boyfriend.

This is an unfortunate fact (that he’s gay) that the Right will focus on to further confirm their delusion that non-hetero people are likely to be pedophiles.

Truly, you are a bastion of intellect.

Seriously, once you’ve got a dictator, your political opinions don’t matter. This is what I keep trying to explain to the communists on this site, but they can’t get past their corruption-free utopian delusions to recognize that China, Cuba, Laos, and every other country that has gone full communist has succumbed to corruption in all the ways they claim a NEW communist country wouldn’t. Capitalism may not be the answer, but Communism certainly isn’t, as demonstrated by history.

I don’t know if you want to know, but they define it in the article if you care to read it…

Just start taking your fucking meds, dipshit.

This isn’t a gun control issue.

Much better headline than a previous article from yesterday stating he was sentenced to “life in prison.”

Then they’d be wrong. It objectively isn’t worth it.

Yes, because its calculation relies on the local speed of sound, which is varies based on several factors, including altitude.

In the paragraph the HBS draws attention to, Gessen wrote that “ghetto” would be “the more appropriate term” to describe Gaza, but the word “would have drawn fire for comparing the predicament of besieged Gazans to that of ghettoized Jews. It also would have given us the language to describe what is happening in Gaza now. The ghetto is being liquidated.”

Not taking sides here, but it does seem to me like Gessen’s phrasing was deliberately provocative towards those who might be offended by their comparison. I’m left thinking, “I mean, if you kick a beehive, don’t be surprised if you get stung.”

I really hope he lives so they can properly execute him.

Refreshing to see an article focusing on the suffering of boys and men in these sorts of wartime atrocities. Normally, articles focus on how women are raped and/or sold into sex slavery, while not at all or merely as a footnote mentioning that boys and men are systematically killed or forced to serve the attacking militia as cannon fodder.

The cruelty is the point. The evidence is clear.

I actually disagree that the cruelty is intentional. I think conservatives have proven pretty clearly at this point that they devote a considerable amount of mental effort to believing their views are correct, no matter what the data show. I think they genuinely think transsexuality is a farce, just like they believe homosexuality is a mental illness, and that they’re protecting children from bad influences by preventing them from transitioning. The problem is willful ignorance and lack of appreciation for critical thinking.

There’s a difference between protest and harassment. I strongly believe the right to express all opinions–even stupid, bigoted ones–should be protected, but that doesn’t mean you get to harass other people and try to intimidate them into submission.

I did a brief Google search prior to making my comment and found nothing, so I figured I’d ask you. It does seem like the kind of claim that someone would make based on mere prejudice. I take your refusal to provide evidence as a sign that it is, indeed, baseless.

Chinese espionage is totally rampant> Chinese espionage is totally rampant

Please show me a reputable source documenting how rampant Chinese espionage is on university campuses and how they’re stealing American IPs.

Anyone know what kind of punishment this traitor is likely to face in Taiwan?

Wow, communism is fucking awesome. /s

Time for nationwide strike in the restaurant/food delivery industry imo.

That will never happen, because the truth is that these folks do make more from tips than they would from any sort of overall wage increase. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, tip-receiving workers tend to favor the tipping system in my experience.
