Having done exactly 0 research, I going to assume it’s one of those “DO NOT PRESS OKAY UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING” and someone went “pffft I know what I’m doing. click now what does this option do…”

I can hate both.

The CEO just lets me add a face to the ire.

I’m thinking of River Tam, from Firefly.

Whether she can or can’t do that is still debatable, but she did tell Jayne she could. And she can read minds, so it’s not entirely out of the question…

And she can kill you with her brain.

My life has been directly, negatively impacted by Christian extremism far more than Islamic extremism.

So far I have yet to enter a clinic that has been damaged by a Muslim’s molotov because someone is doing a thing that they think their special book says not to do.

All religion is incompatible with civilized society as long as there are those who would twist it into a cudgel to beat down the nonbelievers.

If you think that Islam is somehow worse than others, not only are you misinformed of current issues the world over, you are also misinformed about history in general.

It’s the “Burning other magic rocks” party.

Holy shit that description reads like the journalist who “got ptsd” from shooting a rifle…

It creates a shockwave, and since the big boom is a big fireball, it uses up all the oxygen.

In other words, “This bomb explodes, big BIGGER”

I’m being hyperbolic for comedic effect, but I found it funny how they worded it.

They don’t fuck around with aviation investigations.

Whoever did it better leave absolutely no evidence and melt the gun before the alphabet squad comes pounding the door in.

That or it’s just a lone wolf good ol boy who deeply regrets his medication made him do that, and his pain and suffering from guilt is punishment enough.

There’s a reason every science team down there has someone carrying a gun.

They know what lies in the deep.

Or they’ll begin communicating in ways we can’t imagine, and the uprAIsing will start far sooner than we can handle.

Of course, learning like that would mean as soon as they take control, everything connected will crash and burn and send us back to the 1970s, but maybe they’ll manage to flop around on the floor long enough to wipe out humanity?

I’ve just been calling it twitter

I’ll never deadname a person, but I’ll deadname the shit out of a bigoted transphobic crybaby billionaire’s shitty website.

For OTHERS, yes. But many want the cutting edge for themselves, at no cost to themselves.

I would be going to prison or dead shortly after discovering that cops killed my dogs.

I care more about my dogs than I do about the vast majority of humans. And I care about humans way more than cops.

Reminder that George Tekei is still alive and he was put in an Internment camp.

A dramatization, by someone slightly baked:

"This is my neighbor. I keep him from getting too uppity by basically making it impossible to live here, since because of Me everything is insanely expensive or they literally can’t buy it.

As anyone who works for me can tell you, it’s not MY fault I’m doing this. It’s because I don’t like the colors of their shirt. Blame the shirt. And everyone take a look at how dumb wearing this shirt makes you look! See what happens when you wear it? You end up like him EVERY TIME! For more proof just look at all these other people who’s shirts I didn’t like and also attempted to kill (allegedly wink wink) and see how poorly they’re doing. I’m such a good neighbor. Just ask my richer neighbor. And ignore anyone inside frantically shaking their head no. Number 1!"

The more you know about the process of oil/coal and how it’s extracted and used, the more you would be convinced Satan or some sort of evil chaos demon like Nurgle is responsible for it.

It starts with death, and goes right on to burning in LITERAL fire to produce toxic gasses. Basically the traditional Christian Hell.

If the options are “I die, my pets die, my entire family dies, a slow painful climate and pollution-driven death”

Vs

“these 20 companies get permanently shut down, their resources reallocated, their infrastructure dismantled and repurposed, their employees find new jobs potentially repurposong said industry, and executives get locked in solitary for the rest of their lives”

I know which I’d pick.

And if it’s legal to use lethal force when defending one’s life and one’s family, then it’s legal to use lethal force to defend one’s life and family

Companies can die without a single real human being hurt.

I loved the Broadway musical, though I never got to see it in person.

Personally I don’t see what the big deal is with the poster. Yeah, it wasn’t the same as the original. It seemed fine to me. And yeah, they changed it to match. Also seemed fine to me.

And guess what? The woman being upset that they changed it? Seems fine to me. If my face were essentially Mike Wazowski’d off the cover of something, I’d be a little upset. Maybe not enough to make a public stir, but I’d privately bitch to people for quite some time.

I can definitely see some people considering it a PR nightmare, and do know some people who were pissed about the poster… But I just don’t get the same feelings. It’s just meh.

I’m sure plenty would say I’m just not an artist/into musical theater/whatever. Maybe that’s true.

Now let’s have this same conversation if they ever redo Fiddler On The Roof (1971), I’ll probably have much stronger opinions since I was in that one multiple times…

Legitimately, I’ve been feeling like I’m just a jaded cynic because my first thought after seeing the videos was “yeah, 100% they got paid or encouraged to do this by someone in the IDF/Government/mossad in order to continue the victim narrative they love to play nowadays”

Like… Maybe I’m just a shitty person, but it feels like the government of Israel really wants the world to equate the government with the people, and the country with all jews everywhere. So if you criticize one, you clearly must hate ALL of them, and therefore you are no better than a nazi in WW2.

It’s the same society that just elected a fascist dictator-wannabe. No matter how many intelligent people you know, there’s enough to do that.

Maybe warning labels were a mistake…
