Tessa Thompson has all the wins. All of them. If she doesn’t get her own MCU film after Love and Thunder, Kevin Feige must be sacrificed to appease dark gods for his blaspemy.

Only in regards to the white-society permission to use force in response any action they don’t like. In most other social aspects, black people *STILL* have fight to be considered even as much as 3/5th a person every single day.

I’m aware. That’s why I said I was thinking about it. And while you’re not entirely wrong about the outcome, I’d say it’s more a distinction without a difference — you’ll have China on one side and the US on the other, crushing the rest of the world between them. At least until they nuke each other....

There’s a reason I am strongly considering leaving the US. Immigrate, become an ex-pat. Whatever. The US is on an unstoppable downward spiral, and history is filled with examples of what happens to nations this divided. The best Biden will accomplish is slowing it down a bit. And that’s if the Republicans don’t…

What’s sad about this is something that is so sensible and achievable is considered ‘radical’ and ‘ambitious’ in modern America — the same country that built one of the world’s largest national communications networks, electrical grids, transportation networks, etc, etc. At what point did American exceptionalism turn…

There are these criminal charges, one is called reckless endangerment, and the other is called public endangerment. 25 people died due to fossil-fuel fuckery in Texas, and the politicians are doing everything in their power to ensure it happens again. If I thought the DOJ gave a shit, I’d suggest filing charges of…

Repulsive, twisted individuals failing upwards — it’s the American way.

Is it a business? If you answered yes, then they are hiding (badly) their unrepentant greed. Because if a business isn’t greedy, it’s not “American.” Greed is good, remember??

Yes. But the term ‘socialism’ has taken a lot of baggage over the years that has nothing to do with socialism itself and everything to do with general corruption, cronyism, and the like — problems that exist just as much and are just as bad in capitalism, communism, feudalism, etc. But you can’t seem to get the…

Exactly. For most modern employment, ‘on site’ requirements do not *add* to a business in any way, shape, or form. Employees who actually contribute to a business’s products or services are happier, they’re more productive, a lot less time is wasted on micromanaging people who don’t someone constantly watching over…

I don’t know if I’d say ‘smartest’ but organized religion, in general, has blood-soaked, depraved history, that’s for damn sure.

As long as it stays voluntary, I can see it as a reasonable middle ground. If you don’t need to be physically on the premises to do your work, the only thing ‘being on the premises’ accomplishes is lowering productivity. Oh, and artificially justifying the expense of middle/upper management’s bungling, bumbling ‘oversi…

Things to add to the list of things never explicitly condemned by Jesus: cannibalism, pedophilia, necrophilia, socialism, communism.

I was going to say something similar, but with the addition of suggesting that perhaps *WIND* might be a more prudent installation to take advantage of the existing grid infrastructure.

Big-Tech: “Hmm...be a responsible citizen of society or make more money. That’s a tough- MAKE MORE MONEY, DUH!”

Like puppies, but underwater!

The whole thing is a Wimpy exchange: I’ll gladly reduce my carbon footprint Tuesday for a bunch of wasted electricity today.

Man With No Work Experience Will Now Arbitrate Your Reality

To which my response is “Sure...if you treat women the way most serial killer treats prostitutes.”

Unfortunately, that’s not how human nature works. If they weren’t assholes before they became all powerful, becoming all powerful will turn them into assholes quickly enough. Because humanity, on the whole, sucks.
