No I’m American and I just think it’s silly and won’t change anything.

AyyyyyyyyMD

I think you’re right, I watched it sll right when it came out and I haven’t gone back.

She will always be Bitch Pudding to me.

Hopefully Bitch Pudding can come back from this. BLAM!

“I’ve always played two steps removed from myself, in a sense. It always felt grounded in some part of my belly of who I was. Bo-Katan is nowhere near who I am as a human being. Her life, what she wants, I didn’t understand her. As much as I understood her, I never felt her in my stomach. I never identified with her. I didn’t know how to find her.”

“Well, wake me up when you figure it out, shit stick!”

Not to get too spoilery but if it is like the books (which so far it’s a faithful adaptation), Dr. Mensah is the only character from the first book who really continues to play a major role in the rest of the series, so it kind of makes sense that more time and effort was given to her character.

Those are terms and conditions I can support.

God told Michelangelo about Harambe.

You know they won’t go after the pig unions for that reason.

I know SA members were called “goons” but does the modern “gooner” really come from that?

The first season adapted the first book pretty faithfully. I’m hoping the second season does as well for the second book. The first three books in the series are all part of a single connected story and it would be nice to have at least three seasons to conclude that first arc.

OP’s experience with Linux:

For real though, sorry it’s stressful at times, Jack. I have issues all the time, but the thing is, I’ve been doing it for so long now I know where most relevant system files are and how to drop to CLI and edit them to fix whatever I broke. It’s still tedious at times, but I feel much more in control than I used to when Windows would go tits up.

Thank you, it’s not like a third of the country voted for all this shit and another third apathetically didn’t care what the fuck happened.

It’s really too bad most US citizens are genuinely too dense to put this together.

The thing that should actually be bolded here is that it’s cosponsored by Marsha fucking Blackburn.

Republicans reply: “Yeah, and?”

Some of it is worth money but it’s not being sold or anything.

My mother refuses to admit she’s a hoarder, and none of her things are really valuable. She’s clean, it’s not like she lives in filth, but she lives in 4000 square feet (main floor + basement) and has three full wall closets plus a room in the basement all filled with every item of clothing she has ever owned. I can barely fill a small closet with all my clothing. Her closets aren’t small, either. They are about 15 feet wide, each. So three 15 feet wide closets absolutely crammed with shit, and each one of them has storage space broken into three sections, about three feet tall each above each closet. Everything is crammed full. None of it is ever pulled out to be used for anything. She has all these things from her family she has kept for “memories” but 1. they mean nothing to me because I hate my extended family and 2. I won’t be able to afford to store them and won’t have reason to when she’s gone.

I don’t fucking get it, it’s a massive house, and it’s just stuffed to the fucking brim with crap crap crap!

Well first we have to disabuse ourselves of the notion that “law” is going to save us in the circumstances where the lawless have taken hold of every lever of power in government.

While we shouldn’t be descending into outright anarchy, it’s obvious the law isn’t going to save us and even Gavin Newsom is only doing something half-hearted. He’s not going balls-to-the-wall and saying “look we literally have fascists in charge, it’s time to do the unsavory to take the power back and hold them accountable, and that means ignoring the law as much as they do.” He’s proposing doing what the other side is doing but only if they actually do it. Unfortunately, to win against the lawless, you must become lawless yourself. Taking the high road has done nothing but get us deeper and deeper into this mess, and we’re past the point of no return. The time to handle this was by putting war criminals like Bush and Cheney in the Hague, or even further back, Ronald Reagan and Oliver North being taken to trial for Iran Contra. We no longer have the option of just trusting the law to sort things out. The other options we haven’t aren’t easy, but the most non-violent of them is a national strike, and a national strike will require groups to have first built parallel systems to support one another during a strike. Nobody is out here building parallel systems or getting organized to fight this in the only ways we can. I don’t know what to tell you about what else we can do, I’m not some master tactician in a crumbling society on the verge of outright civil war, but pretending that we can trust in the law when the lawless are in charge is foolish and naive.

We should be getting ahead of it, just not in the particular way that Klobuchar wants it handled, at least not in the circumstances we currently find ourselves in.

Look, we literally have fascists in charge and they will abuse her proposed legislation as a tool to silence real criticism. She’s suggesting handing them the proverbial keys to shut down real satire speaking real truth to power. These are already lawless fascists, but they love to hide behind the idea of law, and laws like this that they can abuse to shut down dissent are their favorite kind.

Maybe a law like this could fly if we weren’t in a cold civil war, but right now it’s foolhardy because the people with the most power aren’t reasonable people and will abuse this to silence criticism.

Wonderful article, a great breakdown of what makes Slapshot so good.
