Hey, buddy, what do you think every fascist government calls em?

Crying about how the other guy is horrible to immigrants too doesn’t bring back Rene or Alex. Nor does it change the fact that this illegitimate regime has taken things to an extreme never seen before.

Don’t touch grass, go play in traffic instead.

Oh no, no, no. They’re gonna leave em collecting dust in some warehouse right up until the newly privatized weather service needs equipment, who will be able to purchase them at an absolute steal!

Well that escalated quickly…

As someone born and raised there, I approve of this message!

Forcing us to be competitive will reduce competitiveness!!

Ummm…

Ah, that does make sense

Only when he can’t profit, though. He’s been quite clear on that issue…

Oh, yes, I’m being horribly pedantic due to quite obviously being triggered, so I don’t argue the related points you are making. Not at all.

Uh…

Yes. Lol

It’s not that I disagree with you. I do think I get where you’re coming from.

I specifically have a problem with those looks being prioritized. I mean, think about it if they’re worried more about the appearance than they are about the sound quality, that hubris has become straight up pride. But I’m not talking like the positive connotation. I’m talking pride as in the sin from the Bible.

Uh, no. Maybe check the definition of a word before you accuse people of using it wrong?

Besides, there is literally no benefit to this kind of approach. The most popular use of a word is the definition of the word, not the other way around. And yes, this means it will change over time. So even if motor didn’t literally refer to a certain type of engine, the definition of the word motorcycle is not dependent on the definition of the word motor. Even if there was a contradiction between the definition of the two words that’s literally irrelevant. There’s no point getting all annoyed about it, that’s just how language works. But you will not help anything by trying to force people to change how they’re using a word. It’ll just cause confusion and make communication even less clear.

Honestly, for me things like this are not mildly interesting, but infuriating. I don’t care how pretty it is, it’s not gonna sound better because of aesthetics. Hell, although I’m not sure on this case, musical instruments crafted to look pretty will often sound worse. And I don’t support savaging nature just to find shit to make fancy ass things for pedophile sociopaths that dedicate their lives to making things worse for everyone else.

Oh, I don’t mean it that way. People that use their fear and insecurities to justify hated can fuck right off to the deepest layers of hell!

My first thought was, “oh fuck, Trump is gonna murder them”.

I really hope not, but I have no faith in my government anymore, so…

Jedi??

I’m on to you, Darth JarJar!!

Oh, well, the fact that we saw it all as “not our problem” until then kinda makes us opportunistic assholes, though. Especially since we exploited the hell out of the post war circumstances. Shit, original concept for the UN gave us the only veto. But we had to bribe the reluctant countries with something.

Oh, don’t forget that the horrible evil enemy everyone was fighting took a LOT of inspiration in the mechanics of how to be so evil directly from American politics.

So, helping end the war? Yeah, that’s generally a pretty cool thing. Everything else? Ummm, yuck.

The myth we were all taught about the nobility of our country was never true. For fucks sake, the founding of our country was upon the genocide of the native population.

No, we’ve never been great. Sorry.

The root is fear. Convince people to be afraid of something, they will let you completely reprogram their mind. Fuck, they’ll even beg you to do so…

Oh, the real problem is slavery is still legal if you’re incarcerated. But, I don’t disagree with you, either.

Child support used to take a full half of my income. So, I can believe it.

Day I got the letter saying I had fully repaid that shit?Fucking brought me to tears.

Well, with how many were killed “accidentally” during the removal of homeless encampments in the past couple years, we’re kinda at that point aren’t we?

Fuck…
