It’s just fucking bizarre.

I think we are mostly annoyed at the resulting caveman logic: “mY tRuCk Is FaStEr ThAn A sPorTs cAR!!!”

Yes, I think your interpretation is that the ding about lack of morals was singled out in relation to the source material. I didn’t interpret it that way. I don’t think reviews are obligated to ensure that a point of criticism is novel to the individual piece of work with a genre. But fair enough.

I don’t think review “fretted” over this show’s morals. It asks how it exists, given its lack of morals, common sense, and fun. The latter two qualities - particularly the last - are arguably the most important part of a reality show. As you note, many other reality shows are as immoral, but I don’t really see why it…

FUCK YOU. The vast majority of the music I listen to these days is hosted on, discovered on, supported by Bandcamp. I’ve developed a lot of affection for the platform over the years, and am outraged to see them treated this way, by a shower of dickheads who just don’t get it.

I know armchair socialism feels especially futile when shit like this is happening, but the only way to truly staunch the bleeding is for workers to control the fates of their own companies. Nobody can or should ‘own’ anyone’s labor except the laborers themselves. Nobody else’s interests are truly aligned with the…

Exactly; renewables moved too fast, were too accessible to those outside the energy industry - which, for well over a century, pretty much just meant “fossil fuel industry”.

That’s because they’ve got hundreds of billions of dollars invested in fossil fuel infrastructure assets — refineries, rigs, derricks, tankers, etc, etc. All those assets will become stranded assets (ie worthless) if humanity gets over its ‘Drill, baby, drill’ obsession. The people with huge sums invested in oil…

That’s true. It’s just exhausting having to mentally jump through all the retcon hoops just to get to a state of not despising the story we were initially given. The Clone Wars has barely, BARELY, made the Prequels tolerable. Even so, I can’t engage with a Prequel without the crushing knowledge of how it made every…

While I largely agree with you, the idea that the PT had complex worldbuilding is kinda baffling to me, and always has been.

Then why did he call out the 350lb strawmen using welfare to “buy fudge rounds” in the song? That’s where the “it’s about class” argument stops making any sense. Elites aren’t on food stamps; poor people are. Whining that they’re a burden for being fat and poor serves the wealthy’s interests.

hey you sound like Oliver Anthony!

• Conservatives suck at art. They’re bad at it. So there are a lot fewer conservative artists creating art of any quality. So when one does come along and create something passable, every single conservative purchases it, creating a unified wave of dollars behind that one mediocre thing. Liberal dollars, meanwhile, are…

So be it. Stand with labour not with corporations. 

No.

Anything Zuckerberg is actively bad for you.

We’re all going to hell anyway.

He said he was unhappy at the beginning and by the time the film was released, he was full on board with it. Like, he said this a lot.
