I’ve tied a noose a few times as a kid. ‘Pretty sure it didn’t mean anything then. Pretty sure you’re an judgmental....

Actually you do...or at least bored kids did when I was a kid. Not for a merit badge but when you learn knots that’s one of them and goofy boys found it fun to try to tie the noose knot just to impress themselves and their buddies.

I want to disagree with this, but alas it’s true, all of it. There was a frank demonstration of the distance between the Jedi and the little people in The Phantom Menace when Qui-Gon was quite matter-of-fact about not being on Tatooine to free slaves, and neither he nor Obi-Wan or Padme seems to be troubled by the…

My favorite part of the interview was this:

Fortunately Brett Kavanaugh’s railroaded appointment is the single example of lack of accountability, oligarchy, and corruption that happened in the last twenty years.

Now if we could get that damned 3rd season already!

She’s the daughter of a pirate king, she probably just ate some type of fruit-fruit.

Anything Robotech related should die, I want to buy real Macross merch here in the U.S., from the heavy hitters like Bandai or Arcadia/Yamato, I’m tired of importing superior product from Japan, everything with Robotech on the label has been garbage to meh at best.

I am terribly disappointed that the fire hydrant is not spewing water 80 feet in the air and dozens of children have not come to frolic in it. Another Hollywood myth shattered.

THAT’S the official explanation? Wow, so edgy. It’s also not the lesson at all of how real “evil empires” worked and fell, like dangerously delusionally ignorant of it.

It’s almost like that wasn’t the real problem they had with this Starfire!

Editorialists: Superhero media peddles a juvenile fantasy of moral strength and individualism while milking the pockets of its most devoted fans to the benefit of massive corporations that actively make life worse for people across the world.

I look forward to the complicated and well thought out depictions of racial discrimination, prejudice, and the larger system of white supremacy enmeshed with a pre-existing property in which none of those themes were explored in any granular detail, all while crafting a show that will entertain and contain boobies and…

There’s just no reason or need for the normal citizen to have them beyond the person feeling entitled.

I’m not a troll.  I just have a basic understanding of history.

Home Protection? Shotgun

1988: Ugh, the guy from Beetlejuice is playing Batman? Mr. Mom? This is gonna be terrible.

DE has a super positive attitude with a history of congratulating “competitors” like Destiny and Anthem on launches. I tend to look at it as the sorta girzzled veteran who fought their way into the market on their own merit, giving a nod to the newcomers, who jumped into the fray propped up by their Triple A Daddies.

Wa…

Case in point. Saying “I don’t like ‘Starship Troopers’ because it’s pro-military and therefore it’s fascist and therefore Heinlein was a fascist” is about as accurate and useful as saying “I don’t like‘For Us, The Living’ because it’s pro-universal basic income and therefore it’s communist and therefore Heinlein was…

For some people, libertarianism is fascist because it forces people who want the government to control everything not to get what they want. Go figure.
