So is FB getting more bonkers? I feel like the posts I’ve been seeing in this community have been crazier and crazier lol.

Wtf is that third thing? Are you confusing it with the thing Trump did, refusing to give them funds until they make up dirt on Biden? Because what you said was weird and untrue. The first two things were.

Hopefully this is a wake up call. We’ve got military bases all around the world, the only country like that. That’s weird, right? We’re the world government stomping around the world, deciding what countries are part of the modern world and which ones aren’t depending not on whether you’re a dictatorship or not, but whether we like you and if your economic policies are beneficial to us. And that authoritarianism and imperialism is finally coming home to roost domestically. I hate to see it, because I live here, but it makes sense with what we’ve been as a country since we killed off all the natives for their land.

They need to trade with people for money and food. If their closest neighbor let them trade, I guarantee Cuba would be saying the opposite to stay on the good side of them. But since they can’t, and Russia was iced out of the world economy pretty much, of course they’d extend a hand to Cuba, which is similarly iced out. And of course they’d accept for the good of their people. Who knows if they actually care how that war goes, they’re just a tiny island nation that wants to be able to eat and survive. We can’t blame them for making decisions under this kind of duress.

That’s why they wanted to get rid of Tik Tok. They can’t control its output as much to keep Americans within their propaganda bubble.

What a perfect example of enshittification.

I liked when they fought Ron DeSantis in Florida. That was funny.

I mean that myth of them following each other off cliffs was made up by Disney. But i get it lol

Don’t those already exist in union shops nowadays?

This is a good list to save. I’ve never really seen familiar with the Western genre. I’ve never seen any of these. Or Tombstone.

It would be a good idea, but historically centrist liberals will team up with conservatives to stop the left before the opposite. Let’s see what happens in France.

Tbh, I’m loving it. I know Poe’s Law and all that, but I think they’re just sarcastic enough I can tell, but other people with those sincere beliefs can also believe them and get caught in the trap lol.

Thanks I’ll take a look a closer look at that section. I’m looking for any hope right now lol.

I need to start looking at plane tickets and foreign visas, don’t I? I don’t know if I want to stick around and fight fascists in a civil war. I’ve got a life and a family. But I also don’t want to stick around if we do nothing and let the country fall into fascism with a few feeble protests. I hate this timeline.

Well, they’re doing it faster and faster lately…

I mean, they have to sign some paperwork to make it an official act, but otherwise what’s the difference? They don’t have to arrest anyone according to this ruling, if I’m reading this correctly. Sure, us normal citizens probably do, but according to the court, presidents don’t have to follow the law if it’s an official act. That’s kind of the basis of the dissent. It separates the rules we follow and our leaders have to follow.

Another annoying part is that it’s supposed to be a more adult version of the original cartoon, and yet it’s the Nickelodeon cartoon that has more faith in their audience (which they’re assuming is literal children) and their ability to understand subtext or gather context over time instead of needing everything up front.

I’ll keep watching since the show is supposed to get better after they get past exposition episodes, but you should be able to split that over time. Then again, they also kind of did that with the first season of the Witcher and that apparently annoyed a lot of people, so maybe the execs are right lol.

I know we’re all tired of reboots but I think this one could be something good. I’m a fan of reboots of things that turned out kinda bad, or weren’t that bad but didn’t really live up to their interesting premise. With better effects and sword fight choreography, this could be a good movie. I just hope they don’t over explain things in the writing like a lot of movies are doing nowadays.

That just proves how easily swayed the public is by money. Which makes sense, with money, you can drown out opposing arguments and squash the truth. It’s not really a democracy as long as the Citizens United ruling stands. It’s a plutocracy.

The headline reminds me, I just started watching the new Avatar the Last Airbender Netflix live-action and boy does it over explain things. It ruins the writing in a lot of places. I’m not sure if script writing is a lost art, or producers interfere because they don’t trust the audiences or what. It’s bizarre.
