Fuckin’ seriously. I said half a year ago that a potential silver lining to Trump winning might be galvanising us to vote against PP, and it looks like that’s pretty likely to happen, so thanks, Trump, for one uplifting bit in your otherwise awful tenure.
Fuckin’ seriously. I’ve got friends who are like “I wouldn’t even consider an electric car until they have 1000 miles of range and can charge in fifteen minutes,” like bruh, you make two road trips a year and have four kids; even if we pretend you weren’t a two car family that takes the minivan anyway when you’re traveling, there’s no way your kids are making it a quarter of the range you “need” without stopping.
It was so incredibly sad, Natalie Portman died of sadness. I always thought that sort of thing was reserved for people who lost their spouse of fifty years, and kind of really only worked because they were super old anyway.
I dunno why Anakin didn’t just bail on the whole Jedi thing after they told him he couldn’t be with Padme. It’s not like his Force powers were dependant on an active membership or something; he could’ve just quit, married his smoking hot Senator wife without having to hide it, and remained her personal bodyguard without all the control and manipulation from the Jedi.
Pretty fuckin’ stupid too how he sided with Palpatine when he was Force lightning-ing Mace Windu and Mace was merely defending himself with his lightsaber, though I can kind of understand how he’d reached a breaking point. But then, he’s just like “In for a penny, in for a pound, I guess I’m completely evil now” and goes to kill a bunch of children, many of whom he probably not only knew but likely participated to some extent in their training… that’s even lazier storytelling than “Somehow, Palpatine returned.”
Oh yeah, gotta give a shout out to “You can’t win, I have the high ground!” coming from the guy who defeated Darth Maul while he had the high ground. Fuckin’ brilliant.
One of my favourite things is how the prequel trilogy very justifiably got shat all over in the years following its release, until comparatively recently when the Internet just collectively decided that it was actually really good and people only claimed to dislike it because they thought it was cool to hate.
How white are you? Visibly trans or could be mistaken as trans? Ever post anything critical of Cheeto Benito, or in support of someone like Luigi on Facebook?
Poe’s Law, bud.
No matter how ridiculous a parody someone attempts to create of the grip being mocked, there are members of that group who unironically believes crazier things.
Think I read some study several years back (probably following the Trump-Clinton one) that concluded almost everyone always perceives their “team’s” candidate as having won the debate, and the number of voters swayed by a stellar performance from another candidate is negligible.
Yeah, they’re pretty damn pointless…
From the outside, it actually kinda looks like you’re an entire civil war away from the next election…
Hope you like Cheeto Benito and his policy of also “keep arming Israel” plus embracing literal fascism.
Weren’t Jews required to carry their papers at all times in 1930s Germany?
I think we should help him fulfill his dream of going to Mars.
That’s cool and all, but the most law enforcement would be able to get from probably three quarters of printers in existence is something like “this was part of a lot shipped to Staples’ Arizona warehouse in the third quarter of 2016.” Really narrows it down…
The thing I never managed to understand is, if COVID actually was leaked from a Chinese lab - and especially if it were being intentionally developed as a bioweapon - why would that make right wing dipshits less likely to treat it as a legitimate threat? Did their general distrust of all things “science” and anyone with a university education lead them to believe a lab grown virus would be far less potent than one that evolved in the wild?
North American conservatives don’t really have strong feelings about a lot of things unless someone told them it was part of a “radical leftist woke agenda.” Then, they’ll immediately become very passionate about supporting the opposite position, no matter how fucking stupid it is.
Progressives say vaccines are good? Vaccines bad.
Progressives say pollution is bad? Pollution good.
Progressives say everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect? Time to start inspecting genitals.
At this point, the blind contrarianism has become so instinctive, I legitimately believe a not insignificant number of right wingers would start earning Darwin awards if some notable progressives released some common sense PSAs. Like, get Trudeau and Biden to make a thirty second video on the dangers of operating a chainsaw with a blood alcohol content of 0.3% and a conservative would never win an election again…
Seriously. Dumb fuck can’t go more than two sentences without throwing out “woke ______” and doesn’t even answer the questions being asked.
Speaks poorly of the state of education and people’s critical thinking abilities that this schmuck was ever elected an MP, let alone has a significant following as a party leader.
That comparison is way off. Plain text works out to about 677,000 pages per gigabyte and regular printer paper is alot 0.1 mm thick, so 10 GB of data - 6.7 million pages - would make a stack of paper two thirds of a kilometre high.
Even if we’re talking image files of scanned text, you’re in the neighborhood of 15,000 pages per gigabyte which is probably in the neighborhood of an encyclopedia set, making 10 GB roughly equal to ten encyclopedia sets…
Well, y’all have that whole second amendment, don’t you?
Seriously. Back when I was a kid, mild autism was “just a slightly weird kid” and severe autism was “mentally retarded” and lumped in with the kids who had Down’s Syndrome, severe ADHD, FAS, and a host of other mental issues.
the dreaded “death cross,” a historical indicator of a likely downturn for the company
[…] occurs when a company’s 50-day moving average crosses and drops below the 200-day average.
Fuck Tesla and all that, but holy shit is that standard ever a depressing indicator of to just how reliant late stage capitalism is on endless growth that a tiny dip after half a year of stagnation is a reliable indicator of a company’s imminent failure.
Do you believe liberty is a right? It’s one of the first laid out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and yet I don’t think a single signatory nation doesn’t incarcerate people guilty of crime. By your logic, I don’t think there are any true “rights” in existence, because there are circumstance in which any of them can be taken away.
So what actions have you taken? “Not supporting” can be pretty fucking passive, and I for one will absolutely keep lumping you in with the other assholes until it upsets you enough to do more than whine on the Internet about it.
