  • You’re technically correct, but you’re still an asshole.

    Punishment for yelling fire in a crowded theater isn’t a first amendment violation. Yelling fire in a crowded theater when there isn’t a fire, you know there isn’t a fire, and a stampede occurs resulting in a death, is involuntarily manslaughter.

    Punishment for death threats isn’t a first amendment violation, but it is usually coercion.

    And publishing classified data without authorization is illegal, but it’s highly nuanced. It can be considered a first amendment right of the press to publish classified documents in some circumstances, but how they obtained those documents is definitely scrutinized. Then there’s always the question of “what is press” nowadays when literally everybody carries their own personal printing press in their pocket.



  • That’s an interesting insight into human behavior that I never thought of.

    I remember a long time ago, I was at Boston South Station with my then-girlfriend. We were looking at a monitor on the wall trying to spot when our train home would come in, and I pointed at it to show her.

    A nearby homeless woman then informed me that it’s unpolite to point. That always stuck with me. She was standing right in front of the screen…but now I know, I should’ve used two fingers.

    Not surprising Schneider would have Drakes back. Drake was his cash cow. This occurred between the Amanda Show and Drake and Josh, and Peck got arrested during the latter’s run. Bell was Schneider’s bottom bitch, Peck overstepped.

    Now that I know what I’ve read, I wouldn’t be surprised if Schneider is the left, but he still gives me some vibes.


  • Fracking is used for oil and for natural gas. And it absolutely pollutes local water supplies, aside from also using a shit ton of water, causing tremors, and wrecking wildlife habitats.

    If there’s one benefit for it, it’s that it improves energy independence because it allows us to tap more difficult wells cost-effectively.

    But that’s a bit of a stretch, because divesting away from fossil fuels also improves energy independence.

    Maybe try typing the word you’re talking about into Google before speaking so confidently out of your ass. What are you, Ace Ventura?
