To add to this, the main message I got here that I think he is referencing for the first game is that Joel is doing what he does for the wrong reasons. He is not acting out of selfless love for Ellie, but instead selfish reasons. He sees his daughter in Ellie and refused to give her up, even if her death could have pot…

Yeah that is a great description, and sometimes contained 1 season stories are perfect mainly because they do not have to think about where to take it next or how to raise the stakes even more or whatever.

True, and as much as I desperately want more, I wonder if just one season is the right way to go. It was absolutely phenomenal, and everything about it ended pretty perfectly. I’m afraid if they did a second season and/or more it might lose its power and devolve more into just a really solid superhero show.

This is absolutely key. To start off, the cop needs to be convicted and thrown in jail, but that being said, all that happened here is that he was charged. That’s what they are protesting, the fact that someone in charge said hey, maybe this is a crime committed by the officer and we should investigate it officially.

Absolutely agreed here as well.  

Exactly. If this is cause for execution, then I guess we should round up about 85-90% of white dudes, because from my experience going to a mostly white high school and college, almost all of those motherfuckers drove drunk at some point.

Fucking thank you for saying this. This is absolutely not a political issue. And it’s a testament to how backwoods and shitty the US is as a whole that people still say BLM is political.

The only counterpoint I can think of for this is that so many of those “centrist”, center leaning republicans have incredibly short memories and need to be frequently reminded/pushed. If the last trump scandal or fuck up is 3 months ago (before the election), there might be more of them that shrug and say “well he’s…

That is wonderful. Mine is equally wonderful. Only thing it’s missing is the man being naked.

I think I may win this one.

Totally true. I forget what interview, but I think at one point after the Seahawks beat the packers and Russell Wilson said something along the lines of “god was there for me and guided my arm”, Rodgers basically said in a snarky way “why would god ever give a fuck about a football game outcome, he’s got bigger shit…

Hell fucking yes.

Plus the fact that even if they are convicted, all that means is that racist ass cops finally faced consequences for their horrible crimes, which is not real progress (similar to the quote about how pulling out the knife you stabbed someone with is not progress, healing the wound and damage is).

That’s the funny/terrifying part. The president of the US just said that people who identify as anti fascism should be officially labeled terrorists. Like what the actual shit is this 1984 nazi germany ass shit!

Very true on the first point. Which is why I do hope that people are more active in their protesting/complaints. I get the need for people to vent, and just hope they use that pain anger to do some real things.

You are really good at completely misinterpreting things. Of course I don’t want an autocracy, I clearly said that I hate the people in this country that are largely terrible, not the process of democracy itself. Now fuck off back to Fox News or whatever bridge you crawled out from.

Thank you for this. Absolutely 100% agreed, and the amount of people saying “well he’s not as bad as trump, so stop complaining” is downright frightening.

Thank you so much for this comparison. I am tired of people saying we should line up behind Biden and sit down/shut up. This is not the path to a better country. And the internal conflict in the Democratic Party is healthy and is what spurs on change (just hurts since the Republican Party is so fucked up and unified…

Please please please let this all happen. And that’s coming from me, a resident of Charlotte.
