  • That got me upset enough that when I read "GI Joe movie" in your comment, it was the first thing I thought of, before reading the rest of your comment.

  • Trump: Biden is Too Tough on Netanyahu

  • Just a reminder to those "Biden and Harris are participating in genocide, it's not like Trump could be any worse" crowd.

    It can always get worse.

  • Harris up by 1 point over Trump in Pennsylvania survey

    Jump

  • Flying a confederate flag in Pennsylvania is about the most ridiculous thing I can think of off-hand. In the south, they're all about "it's not about racism, it's about heritage!" People flying it in the north are, like, "Nope, racism! I don't have any heritage with this, except its heritage of racism!"

  • There are people undecided on whether they will be voters. Plenty of people who would vote Republican who could not bring themselves to vote Democrat even against fascism, or a candidate with dementia, or a felon, might be convinced to just stay home. And plenty left-leaning types who can't be assed to go to a ballot box might find the motivation when they have someone that actually seems presidential, who they might want to have as a president (when apparently the threat of fascism wasn't enough of a motivation).

  • Oh, wow, I had always thought that shooting a horse with a broken leg was an act of brutal expedience, not mercy.

  • Biden says he's concerned 2024 election won't be 'peaceful' after Trump, Vance comments

  • You've got exceptionally broad powers, King Biden. What are you going to do about it?

  • Places that flood bad enough that people and animals die in them?

  • U.S. Air Force Airman Develops 3D-Printed Insert to Solve Perennial 20 mm Ammunition Jams While Loading

  • Should have had his wife "design and print" them, get a patent, and sell them to the air force instead.

  • The way the skip intro works on Prime for me is:

    "It's been a looooong road... getting from there to here....

    ...f the heaaaaaaaaaaaaaart!"

    So one way or another, I'm getting some faith of the heart.

  • Elon Musk declares ‘If Trump is not elected, this will be the last election’ — says voting Trump is the ‘only way’ to ‘save’ democracy

    Jump

  • Even if that were true, which is truly ridiculous, new factions would pop up. If it swayed so far left that the Democrats always won, all the further left people would demand all the things they've been left without just to keep fascists from winning.

    Basically, it would just be a leftward shift of the Overton window, which is LONNNG overdue. But it certainly wouldn't be the end of elections, that's stupid.

    What do you think of the victim mentality? Do you know someone with that mindset?

    Jump

  • I'm a bit more confused, because when you me tion it referring to an ideology that focuses on social injustice and advocates for change, and reference MLK's efforts, it seems like you support the general idea. And I would agree!

    I guess I'm just confused on the "personal responsibility" portion. It's my understanding that most of the "woke" issues are gay and trans rights and police reform (and combating systemic racism in policing). So other than demanding change, protesting, and voting, I'm not sure where the "personal responsibility" would come in.

    Jump

  • Can you define the "woke movement" and "woke" in general, in the context of what you're saying?

    I'm asking because I've seen "woke" used for a video game that happens to have one gay character in it, which doesn't seem relevant for what you're talking about (for example). Or any number of things that are simply people existing. And other times it's used for referencing social justice issues. It seems fairly amorphous, and entirely dependent on the person mentioning it, so without some context I can't nail down what you mean unless you define it for you.

  • I imagine Sales(tm) would not manage to clear that bar, and Pulaski would have no idea either way (unless maybe she were thoroughly briefed).

    But he was a LCDR in Starfleet, on board the most prestigious ship in the fleet, and clearly had the respect of the crew he worked with. She had to completely ignore all of that to display the prejudice she showed. I think it's perfectly correct to take issue with it.

  • What are wheelchair-bound people to do when a building alarm disables elevators?

  • Kind of limits their upward mobility, I would imagine.

    And I absolutely intended the double entendre, because I can see how that could limit the ability to get into more executive positions, if the ceo or vp is required to come to the ground floor in order to talk to them, instead of two doors down the hall.

  • A little appreciation for the much maligned ship-saver

    Jump

  • So my biggest issue with Wesley was what an elitist douchebag he could be. He would openly disparage non-Starfleet people, in a way that was at least unprofessional, and at worst outright insulting (like the shuttle pilot picking them up for that crash-on-a-deset-planet episode).

    And at the same time, he sucked up to the people above him or who could help his career so unabashedly.

  • Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?

    Jump

  • I really enjoyed the concept and story of In Time, which apparently has a 37% tomato meter and 51% audience score. That was probably the first less than 60% one I saw I particularly liked.

    Edit: I take it back, I choose Elysium. It has a 59% audience meter and I frickin LOVE that movie, all the way down to the villain being super crazy and virtually unintelligible.
