According to the linked Wikipedia article:
The United States Senate does not limit debate unless limits have been imposed; in most circumstances, a senator who has been granted permission to speak by the presiding officer of the Senate may speak indefinitely so long as they “remain standing” and “speak more or less continuously”.
So you’re admitting that the War on Christmas is real?
pee in public
Why don’t you use a restroom like everyone else?
Well I apologize if I misunderstood
Nothing in the OP suggests that anyone was being an asshole to Derek in particular.
Well, if it’s evidence-based, then it’s rational. Only irrational people would do things that have never been proven to work.
HOWEVER, if it’s rational, it shouldn’t need legislative support in order to work, because rationality speaks for itself. I don’t need a law to tell me to tie my shoelaces because I know I’ll end up tripping over them if I don’t.
Just like Harry Potter… 🥹
Derek sounds like a snitch
You haven’t presented any evidence for your claims so I don’t see why I should change my mind.
As opposed to posting memes to elicit emotional responses?
Ah, good argument. I’m totally convinced now and will immediately change my opinion.

Oh, weird. What’s this, then?
Because it’s diversity for diversity’s sake. It encourages people to maximize on their unchangeable attributes like skin color or sexual orientation instead of any actual skills.
And do you think the cops would remove me from your house before giving me a trial?
Why don’t I get to stay? I demand to stay at your house until this is sorted out.
Businesses aren’t people.
Where did I claim that?
No, the market does not give a flying fuck about justice. That’s why we have a government.
Wrong. Government meddling is in fact the main reason why the market doesn’t correct itself as fast as it could.
Yeah, no, that is exactly what was claimed.
The assumption of rational actors is standard practice in economics, basically every single theorem depends on that. When I pointed out that racism isn’t rational, the argument changed to “well, you can’t assume that everyone is rational”.
Yes. I know. I have a fucking degree in this field. Believe it or not, people have figured out how to deal with that problem a long time ago. Look up the Efficient Market Paradox, and you’ll see why rationality is still a sensible assumption to make.
Nobody chooses to be white either.
Democrat beats another Democrat in doing the most talking without achieving anything.
