Almost like it’s a franchise and that’s the fucking point.

What if instead of a warrior, you were a skald? What if poetry and storytelling were your main means of interacting with the world, rather than violence? But then, since this would still be an Assassin’s Creed game, you could also use your unassuming role as a means of getting close to assassination targets? I think…

I don’t think the great hwhite Northern states count as the heartland, do they? I always considered the heartland the flat, dust-bowl states around the middle like Kansass, Nebrasska, Missouri (ass), and Oklahomass.

Truth, in the US, working class means “white people with careers in a trades profession” like plumbers and miners. Not people in any non-”professional” job. But, to be fair, this is also true of pretty much every western democracy.

Seriously, the entire fiction of the “heartland” being some sort of exemplar of “American” in complete disregard of the historical fact of those people’s abject lack of positive contributions to our democracy is at best disingenuous and closer to a flat out lie. Maybe it was originally meant to be tongue-in-cheek and…

Why go as far as the EC? Point blank, the US Senate is easily the second least democratic institution we have. The first being the entirety of the Judicial.

They think that sitting Repubicans will keep giving a shit about the Trump admin’s garbage policies and that the Repubican rank-and-file think about China, like, at all. It’s pretty pathetic.

Mine’s split between witnessing the US Supreme Court pick our president in 2000, flat out unconstitutional bullshit, and the passing of the PATRIOT Act, yet more unconstitutional bullshit. Non-specifically; the rise of the NRA’s self-serving revision of a flawed interpretation of the 2nd for the sole purpose of…

It still blows my mind that, with the facts we (America) already had and which the average “Joe” already had accepted and processed, GWB/Cheney was still able to bully the American people (via Congress) into a completely unjustified invasion of Iraq. Like, sure, within my lifetime (45 years), the federal government…

It’s definitely an age thing. A Christmas Story, to me, seems written as a nostalgia vehicle for Boomers. I think us kids who were like 7-8 through 12 or so when it came out (in 83) had also experienced enough of the tail end of that sort of mid-century American middle-class society to varying degrees that the movie…

We need a Nolan-directed remake, rife with grittiness and “the rawness”.

Grab a quality kneeling chair, you will never go back to a regular desk chair ever again. Bonus for you being a normal sized human, you can likely get one fairly cheap ($150-250). I’m a 6'5" 250lb ox, minimum cost for me is like $800.

For real, it’s my opinion that the prosecution responsible for these huge fuck ups should at the very least be disbarred, fined a huge enough chunk of change, and publicly have their name dragged through the mud. Ideally they’d get charged with whatever crimes they’ve committed to obscure, manipulate, or outright…

Just more evidence that the entire population of the state of Kentucky should probably be written off. 36 Years of McConnell, 9 years of Paul, black prosecutors siding with the police and subverting justice in a clear case of murder that literally lit the entire country on fire. I’m sorry Kentuckians, your time is up.…

These old uppity WOPs are the worst! (😃)

Yeah, I mean, if you really wanna get down to brass tacks, if the people of a state elect traitorous demons like Moscow Mitch, maybe the people of that state need to be sorted out rather than their Abyssal representatives...

I think YMCA is entirely appropriate.

I think I see your underlying point, but by your logic here racism is justifiable because xenophobia is a natural disposition for homo sapiens. One of the biggest differences between Humanity and (most) animals is that we can override our “natural” instincts through consideration. Justifying eugenics is also not a…

Amen. Nothing significant was ever accomplished without some serious thuggery. Civil revolution (or any) doesn’t happen with nice words, that’s only how it ends. There's always a hard nut to crack, usually those vested in maintaining the status quo for personal gain, real or imagined. Look at literally all of history…

I’m trying to figure out if it was a real American company that was bought out by the Russians or a long-game always-Russian asset? They figured out a long time ago that little “All-American” construction outfits are excellent intel tools. How do you think Trump got picked up?
