Also, in case you’re not familiar, this is referencing a tweet from someone whose neighbor told him that his cats keep getting eaten by coyotes. He asks the neighbor how many cats he has, to which the neighbor replies that he just goes and gets a new cat from the shelter every time. So the guy says “sounds like you’re just feeding shelter cats to coyotes”, at which point the neighbor’s daughter starts crying.
The US is not a member of the ICC. Their arrest warrant on Putin has fuck all to do with the US. And besides, under no circumstances would the US desire the arrest of Putin. We won’t even allow Zelensky to use US-provided munitions to target Russian airfields; you think we’d risk nuclear retaliation by arresting their president??
I get that you didn’t put much thought into this post, but god damn. That space between your ears isn’t just free real estate.
Here’s a good write-up of it. It’s pretty hilarious.
This person’s basically complaining about Deadpool breaking the 4th wall, not taking the Marvel franchises seriously, and having a cavalier attitude towards storytelling. Has he never heard of Deadpool before? That’s, like, the core of his personality. This movie was the most Deadpool that a Deadpool movie could be. I mean, I get it if you don’t much care for Deadpool, but if that’s the case, why go to see a Deadpool movie in the first place? This entire article just makes it sound like this guy loves the smell of his own farts.
I would 100% watch a YouTube let’s play about this game.
Jesus. What a fucking hero Dr. Britton was. He was painfully aware of how vulnerable he was to sectarian violence, and yet instead of backing off and doing something less likely to incur the wrath of idiotic religious mouth breathers, he made himself a “bullet-proof” vest, started carrying a gun, got himself a body guard, and kept diligently working to ensure that women were able to exercise their constitutionally protected choice. Fucking hero.
Yup. I’m old enough to remember when the selling point of cable TV was that it was ad-free. Then, of course, they started adding ads. And then they sold us premium channels that didn’t have ads. Now those have ads, too. You just can’t get away from them.
I find it fascinating how media companies evolved their usage of ads over time. Used to be that the purpose of showing someone an ad was to get them to buy your product. Now, though, the companies who make the ads are paying to have them put on media networks who use the ads to annoy you into paying for a premium membership so you don’t have to see them. It’s double dipping.
Not sure how I would feel if I made an ad, and YouTube was saying to their users: “Yeah, you like that fucking ad? Super annoying, isn’t it? If you don’t pay me more money, I’m going to cram that annoying bullshit down your throat every time you want to watch a video. I’m going to put ads at the beginning of videos. I’m going to sprinkle them throughout the middle. Hell, I’m even going to make you watch ads after the video ends! You like that, you little bitch??”
Tastes like a campfire.
Biden was born in 1942, just one year after Till. It’s kind of crazy to think of how different their worlds were. They lived at the exact same time in this country, but their experiences were incredibly dissimilar. If, at 14, Biden had flirted with the wrong woman, for example, there’s a very good chance that he would have just been yelled at. Maybe, under the worst circumstance, he would have caught a little bit of a beating. Till, on the other hand, was abducted, beaten, pistol whipped, shot, and tossed in the river. What’s more, the people who did it to him were acquitted of all crimes by a jury of their peers.
Just goes to show how non-universal the American experience is, even at a fairly recent date.
You have to understand: it’s really difficult to find good people when they keep sending their talent off to die in senseless meat wave-style attacks for marginal, non-strategically important gains in territory. It takes a while to build up the skills necessary to astroturf effectively. At least he speaks English!
To OP: you’re doing great, man. Don’t let the haters get you down. Seriously, don’t. It’ll negatively affect your performance, and they’ll send you to the front line.
Man, Ivan. You really suck at your job. You must be new here. You’re way too obvious about it.
If Biden had decided to keep running, I can almost guarantee you that enough of the party would have rallied behind him that he’d get the official nod next month. He absolutely could have continued stroking his ego at the expense of the country. Eventually, however, enough people talked him out of it and made him see that he was probably not going to win, and he needed to step aside for the good of the country. Regardless of whether he did so willingly, or kicking and screaming, he made the right choice at the cost of his ego. It seems like a really small thing, but you’ve got to remember that presidents are, as a rule, huge egomaniacs. You kind of have to be to get into that position in the first place. To an egomaniac, putting anything above their own desires is a big deal.
It’s not a particularly flattering picture of him, but he will absolutely be remembered for putting America first.
Oh, on the contrary. His entire 2016 run was just because he wanted to stick it in Obama’s face after Obama humiliated him at that White House correspondents dinner. You can see him sitting there in the audience, just seething. For a raging narcissist, humiliation is one of the worst things in the world.
Well that’s the thing: nobody’s disparaging them for growing. It’s great that they finally saw trans people as people. Wonderful for them. But they’re LIFE-LONG Republicans. They sat through Nixon, Reagan, both Bushes, and Trump as president. All the while, their party just got shittier and more full of bigoted people. They watched the rise of right-wing talk radio, with horrendous humans like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck spewing their vitriol in the name of the party, and they remained. They watched the Tea Party hold up signs decrying Obama as a monkey, or a muslim, signs calling for the hanging of Obama, and they remained. They watched Trump try to overthrow democracy as hundreds of terrorists committed violence at his bidding, and they remained.
Now, they’re finally deciding to leave the party because the bigotry they supported all along suddenly became turned their way. Fuck them. I’m not disparaging them for growing. I’m disparaging them for being pieces of shit.
My guess is that they’d rather those grandparents not have been hateful pieces of shit in the first place. But better late than never!
Huh. Call me provincial, but I had no idea that sovereign citizens existed outside of America. The idea of a Cypriot sovcit never occurred to me.
God damn it. I’m so disappointed in myself for missing that pun.
Yes, well, there are many reasons to be concerned about what’s going to happen in November.
The thing that most disturbs me is how cavalier the bystanders were about the guy having a gun, which the group proceeded to fight over. They’re just sitting there filming and providing commentary. My ass would be out of the pool, out to the parking lot, into my car, and driving home.
