Hot take:

Soooo... Star Trek with interminably long scenes of dialog set to 70s funk soundtrack. Meh, I’ve seen worse from Trek.

This is why I hate heavy labor (construction, drilling, mining, commercial fishing, truck driving, military jobs) in general. When you sell your body, you are the product. Your self worth and personal value is literally monetized. It’s gross. Don’t sell your body!

she has the wrong skin color and/or economic status for it to welfare. Only poor/poc use welfare.

______ claims to be a religion but is really nothing more than a cult. They are all scams and have been for centuries.

I agree that a lot of the coverage is pretty simplistic but I have to say that the charge of totalitarianism against the central Madrid government isnt way off - and apart from the brutality being totally awful obviously, it was also totally avoidable, Madrid has been totally totally dumb in how they’ve handled this…

“....the cottage industry of online provocateurs that sprang up Russia around the time the 2016 presidential campaign got underway.”

Unless it involves Casey Affleck.

Not people who would have ever supported them.

The Fool’s role is often to speak truth to power. The play is a comedy when they’re heard, a tragedy when they’re not.

The issue isn’t whether the US benefitted from slavery. It’s whether slavery was the most beneficial option. Slaves have no incentive whatsoever to work. Slave owners have an incentive to maintain their property - i.e. feed and house their slaves - lest they lose their investment when a slave dies. So, what few…

Are you also enraged by all the severed erections people by?

I agree with the general sentiment of her cri de cœur: white supremacy is a vast, monolithic and pervasive source of inequality in the world today that needs to be dismantled. But words have meaning, and the words she chose, the hot fire she originally spit, made the backlash she received entirely predictable.

they don’t understand that when I say ‘white people’ I don’t mean them as a person.

Well, Half the super heroes didn’t want to register, half of them thought they should.

What really bothers me is that no one seems to get (or deliberately ignores) that the Nazi Party didn’t just come to power and then boom, instant Holocaust. Any time you point out the disturbing parallels on our current path some apologist, either rightwing or left, will invariably say “how dare you, it’s not like…

The first response is violent confrontation? How incredibly uncharacteristic of police and the powers they prefer to use.

I have like three racist bones in my body. I’m always complaining about them, but the rest of the bones won’t do anything about it. Two of them are real assholes and one of them is passive aggressive as shit. I don’t know, every time I think about yanking them out the other bones get all protective. Deep down, I…

So, this is torture, full stop.

No just sick. And uh, let me think... oh yeah, weak, childish, astonishingly stupid, no common sense, no decency, hate-filled, pathetic, unable to think for yourself, easily manipulated, narrow-minded, thoughtless, brainless, myopic, ridiculously emotional, sociopathic, no self-confidence, poorly raised and parented,…
