These fucking wingnuts... they grab onto a half truth like a dog with a bone. They KNOW science can be questioned and should be questioned because that’s how science works. But they don’t understand (or don’t want to understand) that science can only be questioned by better science.

I wouldn’t say the reboot was a masterpiece. Its most egregious flaw is the way they lamely tried to justify calling it “Tomb Raider” by tossing in a few one-room optional tombs to “raid”. The mysterious island setting was just begging to be riddled with old catacombs and ancient puzzles but instead it just becomes…

No, not the death scenes. Those are still there if you mess up. It’s that the game has less weird incongruities like the serious wound Lara suffers at the start of the first game but somehow doesn’t need to treat until much later. There’s also things like her reaction to killing her first bad guy or being squeamish…

Agreed. It’s one of those words that should just go die. Nothing is actually overrated or underrated when we’re speaking of subjective opinions. Things are just rated.

It’s another lie about the 2020 election that we can file away in the case closed drawer.

He did claim credit earlier. He’s always claimed it was his administration that “got the vaccine”. Which is why it was always weird to me that his followers ended up so anti-vax. It’s been known he and Melania, at least, were vaccinated.

We should let Texas and the South leave. Then move all the MAGAs into the new “ChRiStIaN” nation and get all of the progressives and BIPOC people out.

I felt like we dodged a bullet last election and then again on January 6th.

it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument

“YOUR SISTER FUCKING DIED OF THIS. WHAT SIDE EFFECT COULD BE WORSE?!!”

Trump was quite the revelation for most of them, I think. Because they DID once try those mental gymnastics. We used to call it “spin” what they did to the truth. All that time, it turns out, they were working too hard. Trump comes along and everyone in politics laughs at him because he just said the craziest shit 24/7…

If Conservative politicians know anything at all, it’s that their voters wouldn’t know a logical inconsistency if it smacked them in the face.  They can say anything they want.  Conservatism is about following the leader... not thinking.

No way that would ever happen. The paying personally thing, I mean. The only recourse is that taxpayers, all of us unfortunately, get to pay. Thus only if voters get angry enough at paying to vote the bastards out, would there be any justice.

This exactly.  The holy grail of autonomous driving is that you WILL be able to write a term paper or eat a plate of pancakes while the car drives you about.  So long as Tesla’s autopilot offerings require as much attentiveness as if you are actually driving the car... then they are of zero practical value.  And no,…

Religious people are gonna project that same mindset onto a lot of things unfortunately. Too many conservatives venerate the Constitution as if it were actually religious scripture and the Founding Fathers as if they were prophets rather than merely the old rich white men of their time as capable of being wrong and fla…

I finally broke down and started binging them. Finished Clone Wars and am working my way through S2 of Rebels now. The change in animation quality was surprising, although the final few episodes of Clone Wars is partly to blame for that. They really went out in style with those.

The one that doesn’t get enough hate is TFA. It set the whole sequel trilogy up to fail by simply making it a retelling of the OT, enabled in the most callous way by just setting fire to every victory won in the OT and then sticking a lightsaber through the series’ most popular character.

And we’ll hear them because those idiots think he’s some business genius when he’s only rich because daddy was rich and he’d be richer still if he’d just invested the inheritance and gone to live on a beach somewhere (oh, and maybe 300-400 thousand Americans would still be alive too).

It must really be easy to be a Republican because you don’t even have to make sense when you say something. It just has to SOUND good (or scary, if that’s what you’re going for). And they are utterly immune to hypocrisy, which is why they can keep going on an on about the COVID vaccine while never having said one word…

We only need to acknowledge that because right-wingers love to ignore context. They’ll probably point to something like Kathy Griffin’s severed Trump head photoshop as an example that “the Left” does this sort of thing too without bothering to acknowledge either the difference between a celebrity doing shit like this…
