Sorry, no. I commuted and shopped by bike every day for a half-dozen years. It was great. There were still occasional circumstances where it was extremely useful to be able to drive, and important events I couldn't have attended without driving.

Warren Terra commented on America Doesn't Care About Black People.
In terms of public terror and conformity to the popular notion of terrorism, a bomb is different from a gun.
Similarly, a mysterious attack is different from one where multiple witnesses explain who the perpetrator was.
Plenty of racism in our country; no need to invent it, to pretend two events are being treated differently because of racism when there are bigger differences between them.

Warren Terra commented on "What would you consider the number one priority in the making of Atlas Shrugged Part III?".
So long as it's got a completely different cast from either of the first two parts and is a complete fiasco, I think we'll all be happy.
But, yeah, showstopper musical numbers would seal the deal.

ffs, Mudede. Even living in the most urbanized of areas, you will find yourself needing to drive a rental car while traveling, or a uhaul while moving, or a zipcar while shopping. The ability to drive a car is not quite mandatory everywhere in the US, but there are large swathes where is is, it is tremendously useful, and the inability to drive a car means you can't easily visit the Grand Canyon, determines where in the country you can study and work, etcetera. Preach against car dependency and car ownership all you want, but don't stick your head up your posterior and proclaim you're living in a fantasy world - and teach your kid to drive when he's old enough and responsible enough to operate a car.

In the words of the old joke: men need to learn to treat women as if they were equal human beings.

Warren Terra commented on It's Spring! Who's Ready for Street Harassment?.
The (possibly affected) resistance from some commenters to the notion that this behavior has unacceptable harassment is distressing. I choose to believe that the people claiming not to understand are just being dicks in the comments, but are probably polite, decent people in real life.
I suppose it's progress that this fnck harassed Cienna with a furtive whisper and then ducked away, that unlike a generation ago he didn't feel entitled and empowered by society to proudly and openly harass her. But hardly enough progress: he still got the job done, the job being to demean someone so he felt better. Sad.

See also the whole "mong" kerfuffle, in which Gervais was, at best, an utter tool.

I haven't even looked at your search engine, but a simple Google search finds more than 120 posts containing "Ed Murray", though to be fair there are some flaws in this methodology ("Ed Murray" appearing in the Comments or appearing elsewhere on the page would generate a viable search hit). Even with those caveats, I'm guessing that more than 16 of those 121+ posts feature Ed Murray in the text of the post.

As is plainly clear in this thread, Mudede brings out the worst of the comment trolls, including no few who are racists or think it's somehow entertaining to portray racists. Frankly, the way these assho|es behave and the slime they mix into criticism of Mudede is a huge benefit to Mudede, as it works to distract from the truth that most of what Mudede writes is just terrible, this ill-considered post bring a prime example.
