Just to throw this out there - it’s not immoral to beat the ever-loving shit out of the people who make these videos whenever and wherever you find them. I saw one once where three teenagers were picking on a guy just going about his day in a hardware store, and for the life of me I couldn’t understand why he didn’t…

It was a mistake to make people believe that what they were hearing was an actual heartbeat. Whoever invented the “heartbeat” sound from the ultrasound no doubt had good intentions (people love it), but it has turned out to actually be harmful to women’s rights. Couldn’t have been predicted.

There is nothing consistent, nothing ethical or moral, and nothing worthwhile to be found in evangelical christianity. It is a scourge that is literally tearing your country apart. People need to fight these fucks, in the streets with weapons if necessary. They are a legitimate danger to civilization and need to be…

On the bright side, at least he’s suffering either way.

When will there be the political will to fight the American Taliban? I’m not talking politically - these people are literally hurting people. It’s past time to fight them with guns and shit. Step 1: dishonorably discharge any and all service members who will not renounce Evangelical Christianity and other repressive,…

OP said nothing at all about whether or not the current article should be published. Relax.

Yes, “standing” is the key here. Definitely. You are a very smart person. The reason Kyle Rittenhouse was allowed to murder protesters in cold blood and get off scott free with a laughable stand your ground defense is because he was standing, and the reason that Marc Wilson was convicted for defending himself from…

We don’t send them, they are drawn.

“If you put me in Marc’s shoes, there’s no way that I would’ve been prosecuted. Odds are I would’ve been given a medal — probably gotten a parade in my name. It’s unreal how he was treated just because he’s a little bit more tan than I am,” he told Yahoo! News.

Always worth considering that our own perspectives are not universal

They actively filter out empathetic and intelligent applicants to local police forces. The rot in policing is systemic, from top to bottom. It cannot be reformed, and a handful of “good” officers can’t even begin to turn back the overwhelming tide of bad ones. The only solution is to dissolve all police forces and…

Persuasive. What “legitimate” criticism of RoP is being unfairly characterized as racist or sexist?

“Social justice? Why is it even in this document? What does it even mean, aside from it being a term politicians use to buy votes,” he said.

This is the same Lindsay Graham who enthusiastically supported Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination and confirmation after voting had already started in the 2020 election, when literally just over two years earlier he promised not to do exactly that and even said at the time to “use my words against me”. He doesn’t give a…

“But apparently, since the genders were reversed, it’s fine right?”

People are only calling racist or sexist criticisms racist or sexist.

My grandpa was born in the 20s, and his teacher succeeded in beating the left-handedness out of him. I mean, not really, but he did write with his right hand his entire life. When my mom told me that story in the 80s I was just baffled. I still can’t comprehend it now. I truly, sincerely hope that in fifty or sixty…

Five 8-episode seasons is 40 episodes, while three 13-episode seasons is 39 episodes. Basically the same (on streaming or premium cable, you can fart around with run times to get those the same length pretty easily). So suppose you’re an executive giving the greenlight to one of these. Do you a) spread the budget out…

It’s for budget/quality reasons. They have a certain budget, and they can use that to make 22-25 really cheap episodes, or 8-10 higher quality ones. Lost was a fairly high budget show by the standards of the time, but it also didn’t require a lot in the way of sets, costumes, or special effects (though those did come…
