Not the link, but what the link is about.

What the fuck Good Reads. As if authors don't ever have to change their names. As if author's don't publish work under a second name sometimes. Fucking incompetent as well as horrible ways to treat content creators.

They're getting their moneys' worth, that's for sure.

SnowFire · « **Reply #209 on:** July 08, 2016, 11:19:40 PM »

That's amusing, but I really hope someone attaches an actual law school / professor to it. My general Internet skepticism for these kinds of smackdowns is high since it's so easy to concoct a straw-man for the other side. (My college, unfortunately, really was in the news due to a stupid anonymous demands letter that really existed, even if it might plausibly have been written by the Trump campaign as some parody of left-wing activism. Which hell, it might well have been, since it was anonymous.)

To be fair, it's the only city in Nevada that matters.

I kinda assumed the official Republican stance was that Vegas was the centerpiece of satan's dominance over the nonbelievers.

Not Nate Silver himself, but the fellow he's retweeting here.

As usual one of the toughest decisions is whether to put this in iotd or the politics thread. I think this is pretty solidly iotd territory. Not sure who the idiot is, because this is all so stupid it has caused my neural circuitry to melt down like I'm one of those original Star Trek androids or something.

I don't get why did Nieto did any of this.

The best theory I've seen is that it was a polite gesture that both candidates were expected to decline gracefully, but he forgot that Donald Trump doesn't know any of those words.

The dumb it takes to do what the president of the Philippines did hurts my head.
