    I’m beginning to think RawStory exaggerates their headlines for clicks. An organization has asked a court to arrest them, a FAR cry from facing immediate arrest.

      RawStory faces immediate arrest for spreading disinformation and falsely representing ongoing legal situations!

        Ha, I wish!

        Edit: Wait… If we send a message to a court, we can make it happen!

        Also, gotta ask, is your name from the old Marvel villain or?

          Nope, that bastion couldn’t tolerate the existence of mutant powers. This bastion, not only has no problem with mutant powers, but downright enjoys them.

              I think that if you’re a robot boop capable of enough complexity (including having a tendency towards dynamically stable emotive field states), and can interface with a body and society well enough to remain comparatively indistinguishable from a human, that makes you human, right? beep anyways, time is relative, right?

        wow, just read this comment, wow, what a string of words ordered in such a specific manner to demonstrate a specific concept.

        Seems like you just need some more strings of words in your life. Let us know if you need any examples of better or different strings of words.

        I’m not going to look into the parent poster’s history, but they are right. As much as I despise Trumpists, the GOP and the media enabling them, RawStory is no better. Whenever I see such headline, I get to say “let me guess… yup. RawStory.” I’m this close to blocking them. I’m done with yellow press, be it from Fox News, Breitbart or, yes, RawStory. Give me something more objective, like APNews*, for example.

        *I don’t like APNews movie critics, to be fair.

        I absolutely despise Donald. But RawStory headlines are nearly as false as the drivel coming out of his mouth.

        ? What in there got you so upset? The notion that playing sports could be fun? The horror of someone, ugh, criticizing communism?

        I’m genuinely surprised and morbidly curious.
