In Kansas every year for the last 5 or so, the state has been fighting in court their school funding formula. They are continually violating a state mandate requiring adequate funding of schools and the courts keep rejecting their plans. There are several districts in affluent areas of Kansas where they are hitting…
My family, probably make close to 2x that and I use government programs.
Don’t forget the followup to the tax cuts - oh wow, now the deficit has exploded, we have no choice now but to cut health care, unemployment benefits, or anything else that benefits mainstream America.
The problem is that so few Americans are versed in economics that the lie of trickle down policy seems every bit as plausible as reasonable tax policy to the average American. As I age, I’m finding it harder and harder to believe that the lust to cut education isn’t the ground floor plan to keeping the rich rich and…
Rorschach =Loner,violent,anti-authority, 80's conservative, probably a virgin.
In the comic, Rorschach actively defends the Comedian as an American hero and, when Laurie brings up that the Comedian attempted to rape her mom as a reason not to feel bad for the Comedian’s death, defends him by saying something along the lines of “We have all have our failings.”. He also believes that a reason to…
Do you realize how many idiots watch Breaking Bad and hate “All the Skylar stuff. She’s slowing down all the fun. Why can’t it just be about the drug game?” Because that’s not what the show is, you morons. I expect these people to come out of a screening of The Wrestler and complain “Not enough wrestling.”
The Moffat bashing was unreal. I had friends who fell for it - they didn’t participate, exactly, but they’d reblog stuff on tumblr alleging that Moffat had said this or done that and it was all completely made up. It was like Hillary memes and conservatives on FB. It was completely bonkers. I wanted to be like, “come…
I have found that in real life, most people who like the things I like are insufferable. Presumably, that means I am also insufferable.
What I don’t get about all of this is that to me it’s so evident that Rick is a Don Draper like character. He presents as some sort of ideal, but when you get to know the guy, you realize how messed up he is. He can’t function without Morty or Beth. He can’t talk about his past. He’s basically emotionally paralyzed.
Probably because they’re a lot closer to eating cold beans out of a can than being super-genius industrialist billionaires.
Anyone who thinks It’s Always Sunny is worth emulating in real life knows nothing about the characters “THAT ARE SHOWN” in the show.
I think it’s because we focus on his perspective for most of the story and the fact that at the time, anti-heroes like the Punisher were becoming popular. I also partially blame Snyder for removing the subtlety and just making him a badass rather and ignoring the fact that he’s a bigoted rape apologist.
That is horrifying. I’ve always realized that the Gang are horrible people who destroy peoples lives. That’s why the show can get away with a lot of offensive jokes, the protagonists are always the but of the jokes.
It reminds me quite a bit of It’s Always Sunny; for a while I lived with a small handful of dudes who wanted to be The Gang, picking analogues in the show for who they felt best represented them, and emulating the various drinking games and habits they exhibited. It entirely baffles me that anyone would watch that…
One of the primary criticisms leveled against Rick And Morty fans is that they mistakenly valorize Rick as a sort of uber-nerd, a shit-talking asshole who’s too smart to abide by normal social rules. Rick is always right, and when he isn’t, he still comes out on top, probably with a catchphrase and an episode-ending…
>because of those fans, the show is becoming easy to hate
And here I am thinking that lions aren’t concerned with the opinions of sheep. Everything I know is a lie.
