The Downward Spiral

Unlike some other billionaires, Bill Gates has been giving a lot of money away and trying to use his resources to help some of the world's biggest problems.  Maybe we should go a little easy on him.

If it’s aiming for the realism of war, the part where you abandon the rebels to be ethnically cleansed should be interesting.

Maybe this is a good place to brag on my wife (slightly OT):

Same thing happened with my Mom years ago!

Counterpoint-she was the absolute WORST part of Smallville and you should feel bad for your horrendous take.

I really like how he’s played him since he came back. Very world weary, like he’s so incredibly tired. And his adamant frustration at people ignoring the gigantic army coming to kill everyone. You can tell he’s just plain tired of having to convince every single person of what’s coming.

And the scene where Dany says:…

Well we already have Alien Ant Farm.

He still thinks that the Central Park 5 are guilty despite DNA evidence proving otherwise.

The obit treatment by the Times of London (and many others) is shameful.

He is using the power of the Ollie Stone. Love Al Leong. The candy bar scene in Die Hard is one of my favorites.

not to take away at all from any of this (because essentially what these two women did was call Eliza a liar and taking this guy’s word without thinking about how often this happens) but for some reason your text reminded me of this song from Doug Anthony Allstars.

I was going to write a researched, thought-out piece for this fine internet periodical, but then I woke up from that particular coma and realized it’s so easy to just crowbar song titles wherever convenient. If you feel like you’re right next door to hell, don’t damn me; you ain’t the first! If you think I’ll stop…

I think you mean “Servant of Grandfather Nurgle.”

Punching walls is terrifying to smaller folk and is very intimidating behavior. It doesn’t matter what you think your intentions are, punching walls also makes the other people in the room wonder how long until their face is in the way of your fist, instead of the wall. And it makes them want to leave asap.

I’m not even saying it should be a permanent thing. But men need to start focusing on improving themselves rather than forcing everyone else to kneel before them. Even the #notalls are passively supporting the assholes by defending themselves rather than having the backs of oppressed women, LGBTQ+, and non-binary…

It’s never the woman you know either. It’s never the opinionated, happy-seeming, confident woman being abused. It’s never the happy mother, the dedicated wife, the accomplished physician. That woman would never be abused. She would stop it. She would not put up with that kind of thing. Her upbringing didn’t…

I was visiting family when the original commercial aired last year. My 94 year-old WWII-vet Granddad went, “Does it tweet lies, too?”

I am sorry to see so many progressives on these sites wringing their hands over the election results. I’m a glass-half-full guy, but any objective look shows how well we did.

that is awesome - I hope they sue them into the ground. There will always be more video games, but morality and dignity are irreplaceable.
