Well, yeah, that’s literally the point of conspicuous consumption.

If they really want to sell tickets for that UFC fight, they should make a couch shaped like a peacock and have Tate and Vance battle for the right to fuck it.

As soon as 911 happened and I saw the immediate reactionary shift to authoritarian policies I figured our nation had failed. But all I can accomplish are little things, so that’s what strive for. Holding the door, treating cashiers etc with courtesy and respect, whatever small acts of kindness I can do, basically.

Wow I haven’t watched that in years!

(I take no embarrassment for these assholes’ actions - but am I ashamed? Deeply.)

Yeah, victim blaming is generally irrational. And, you know, pretty fucking lame.

If you believe the immigrants are the ones with agency here, you’re choosing willful ignorance. The Epstein class are the enemies, not a bunch of poor schmucks who have it even worse than me - not to mention the chances they’ll have their immigrant status exploited against them is pretty much guaranteed.

Oh, so dead internet is, in fact, the plan. Wonderful.

Have any ideas how many high transmission power lines are out there? No, dude, this is ridiculous.

Um, they’d be dead instead? This is a terrible argument…

Bullshit, seriously. I mean, this is almost textbook “whataboutism”, a decidedly dishonest debate tactic.

Um, we have a for profit prison system based off literal slavery, and he’s trying to use that excuse. Jesus fucking christ.

“Maybe it would help people other than me, but that’s obviously not worth it.”

Shut the fuck up.

Trust. For me that fits your description, the thing I don’t “see” but some out there do. I try to keep an open mind, but the way this stuff is being sold hard bothers me.

Well, Lower Decks maybe almost improved on that formula? And with a fun little joke about the black badges, too.

Considering the number of my fellow countrymen that literally cannot read, I think it’s pretty sad to be getting downvoted for that. I thought it was clever.

Yes, they freeze them first. Then boil them to thaw.

I’m more impressed/disturbed at the way he takes “punchable face” to a whole new level…

Anyone else immediately think of the intro to Short Circuit?

It’s still being applied, just not universally. Which is worse.

Giant ones are needed to run A.I. models that teach computers to think lie like humans.

Like how “settling the west” is somehow romanticized in US’s shool system. Barf.
