When Aliens Attack?
When Aliens Attack?
I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t even the dumbest thing he says today.
I think people can still be surprised by how widespread the resentment is. Things are so polarized and there’s so much focus on dividing us into warring factions, it can be hard to believe that there’s common ground on anything. Especially when there’s so many other experiences we all shared that didn’t lead to a similar understanding.
The problem is that we have so little media that is both trusted and trustworthy. That so many people don’t actively seek out reliable information and think critically about it. Many just find a source that confirms their bias and feeds their emotional state, while others just passively absorb from those around them and on social media. And once you’ve bought the lies and misinformation, anyone that tries to tell you the truth becomes suspicious, because you know they are wrong.
And because the never ending stream of bullshit is both a lucrative industry and a source of immense political power, there is a vested interest in keeping it highly polarized and partisan. They have to tie it to your identity and tell you that this is what your country stands for, so that you know that everyone who disagrees is an enemy.
Anti-vaxxers are nothing new, but they were never so openly embraced by a political party (to say nothing of those who have claimed that vaccines are suddenly against their religion, discovering a prohibition that no religion has ever had prior to 2020). They don’t care how many people will suffer or die because of their actions, as long as they can benefit from it politically. Sadly, this is a fairly consistent theme on the right.
I’ve just been hoping for the long shot that a plane carrying both of them will go down before the electoral college meets. If it also takes Musk, Johnson, Kennedy, and a bunch of others from his inner circle, so much the better.
They love authority figures telling other people what to do. Freedom is me being free to do what I want and you being free to do what I want.
Just think how much more productive they’ll be as prisoners working as slave labor. Why spend money fighting homelessness when you can make money off it instead? Everybody wins!
Well, everybody that matters anyway.
Removing the anatomy portion of sex ed is absurd, but we’ll just file it under the same “everything I don’t like is porn” reasoning they’ve been using. And at least I can understand how someone can think that teaching about birth control only encourages sex.
But what the actual fuck can anyone say to defend removing any discussion about consent‽ I honestly can’t understand it. There’s literally no reason not to cover it unless you object to the idea that rape and molestation are bad.
What’s next, teaching kids that strangers in vans have the best candy? That adults will often reward those who give special favors? The importance of keeping uncomfortable experiences a secret?
As though he’d be taking any less without the judgement against him.
He does it all the time. This is just a normal Tuesday night for Shia LaBeouf.
Guys, I have a theory.
Can’t say what the specific motivations are without knowing who did it, but it certainly would be plausible that this was someone denied coverage for a terminal or otherwise life ruining condition. How many people out there did this guy’s company put into a hopeless situation? Once they have nothing to lose, it’s not hard to imagine someone deciding to get revenge.
Congress and the incoming Trump administration should also take note of that before they do anything to strip coverage from tens of millions of people.
Or that they consider anyone who they don’t want here to be an illegal immigrant. Doesn’t matter if there is a federal law that grants legal status to the people in question, or that the constitution grants citizenship to those who are born here, Trump and pals don’t like those rules so they should be able to ignore them.
Couldn’t fuck the cowardly lion because he was a simp.
Also the barbed penis.
So the story gets a happy ending… and I’m guessing so will his cellmate.
Just speculating here, but if a few additional counts aren’t likely to add significant time to his sentence, they might also be saving some for later in case they lose or the case gets thrown out for some reason.
Yet another reason why I don’t wear pants.
I really want a law that requires clothing sizes to include actual measurements. And it’s insane that I would have to specify that these measurements must be accurate, but the clothing industry has made lying about sizes the norm.
There shouldn’t be anything preventing me from figuring out women’s bra sizes with a tape measure aside from the fact that I don’t know them and they probably don’t want a stranger obsessively measuring their boobs.
At least they got to discover the wonders of porn before the end.
