However, Joe Lonsdale, the founder of 8VC, did comment, considering it a response to an attack by left-wing media for “supporting Trump.” Lonsdale was referring to an article published by Forbes magazine describing his fund’s connections with the sons of Russian oligarchs.

Forbes is “left-wing media” now?

That’s a rough 30 year old.

I have bad news for them if they think accepting people running from “Western liberal ideals” is going to help with that somehow.

Please give them free plane tickets

Great idea.

Announcement: I pledge to buy a one way plane ticket from any US airport to Moscow for the first two US citizens that can prove to me that they A) have a social media history demonstrating rejection of Western liberal ideals, and B) have had their Russian immigration visa accepted.

If they return to the US at any point in my lifetime, the offer is rescinded and they must refund me the cost of the ticket.

Yeah. 25% more people than we have now is not shrinking by any stretch of the imagination.

This would make an excellent short film. The fire axes scene would be epic.

They don’t actually fly. They’re just so ugly that the Earth repels them.

Your links are broken

They come in pairs. You can’t have just one, duh.

Let’s briefly set aside the fact that she was 12.

He was convicted of raping another person… period. That alone should disqualify him from representing his country at the Olympics.

Now back to your regular scheduled world wide publicity for Steven van de Velde, who repeatedly raped a 12 year old girl.

It’s right there in the teaser on on this page.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with reporting the facts that you do have when you have them and are confident of your sources.

Acknowledging remaining open questions that you don’t have answers to yet, is a bonus.

A perfect example of reporting before the fog of war clears would be reporting completely erroneous information as factual. So unless you’re suggesting that a Ukrainian fighter jet did NOT in fact strike a target inside Russia, then this isn’t the “perfect example” you’re looking for.

IANAL, but I feel like if the heirs to an estate cared enough about the deceased’s Steam account enough to get the court involved, Steam wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. But that’s probably what it would take to get them to do the right thing.

… with frickin laser beams attached to their heads!

I’m absolutely calling BS. I’ve never seen such a thing and wagering that you are just confused about what lanes can do what (or you’re just making shit up). There are several roundabouts near me where an inside lane can turn out or go straight, but in all of those cases all lanes further out are required to turn out. The people that design traffic patterns aren’t idiots, but there’s no shortage of idiot drivers that can’t follow even the simplest patterns.

If you want to insist, all you need to do is link to such an intersection in google maps so I can look at the aerial view. I’m honestly curious how they would paint the traffic lanes to indicate what you’re describing.

And even if his statement were correct, he’s got the cause and effect completely backwards.

The sad part about this is that The Girl Scouts has always been an amazing organization that’s done great things for girls and society, but didn’t get all of the favorable treatment that the boys did from the government. Now their playing field is going to be even more unlevel.

Because 'Merica!
