Trump lately

I’ve got the Ikea version of these and they work great, no coaxing at all. Way easier than that stupid pull cord, I would never go back. Put them up all over the house. One of them went slightly crooked and I never did figure out why or how to fix it though. I think I will eventually get some higher quality replacements anyway.

He wrote a tasty jam and all the planets did align.

Oh the dragon’s balls were blazing as I stepped into his cave.

Then I sliced his fucking cockles, with a long and shiny blade!

Alright so I don’t care enough or have the time to go through this hour long video and break it down point by point, but I will talk about the opening minutes. This guy, with seemingly zero self awareness, approaches a group of people with his cell phone out saying “hey, I want to ask you some questions about [insert your assumed nationality here].” In this case Haitians who have spent the last several weeks being harassed, vilified, and threatened on a national media broadcast level that they neither asked for or likely know how to handle. My reaction to that if I were them would be “no thank you, please leave me alone”. This appears to be what they do - they politely said no. Then the camera man proceeds to paint them in a negative light immediately for it “why won’t they answer my questions?! Why??” Gets in his car to leave. That group went inside and got someone - probably someone willing to speak for them - but by the time she comes out the camera man has now painted them negatively again “they ran me out of here, they ran away, they scattered and got in their cars and left, oh this woman is coming at me aggressively go go get out of here go.”

They did no such thing, they indicated politely he should leave, and he did. There was no aggression, and the when a woman came to speak with him he zoomed off assuming she was a threat somehow? And then getting offended when she did exactly what he just did and filmed it.

This guy is not a reporter, has no credentials, is making wild baseless accusations in this first few minutes of his video, and its plain to see. This sets the tone for the rest of whatever dribble this guy has to say. The assumptions he made in that interaction were either racist, xenophobic, or just plain dumb because he has no idea why they might be a little on defensive and cautious about having conversations with random people approaching them ready to record them on a cell phone. If you want an interview you approach and ask without recording first, and then you only post video of willing participants. In my quick scroll of the remainder it would appear he did not use this ambush tactic on the people willing to speak to him.

Prequel, or someone new taking up Batman’s mantle I would guess. Maybe the Dick Grayson version, or I think they can explore Azrael? Pretty sure he showed up to challenge Batman in one of the games

You guys don’t even try to hide the racism and xenophobia anymore do you?

I was thinking the same thing. Kinda wish the conveyer belts would just fling them off into oblivion or something for me.

:::slaps knee::: ohhh that’s Rich

Best orators?! Yo he got made fun of all the time for that!

We could call the mayor of Springfield and ask

But at least the formulas and constants appear to be correct

I believe the internet archive is under threat as well, some kind of copyright protection thing.

I suppose I worry about the fiction too because sometimes it’s a commentary on real life concerns, and the pearl clutchers will want to erase perceived insults. Anyway, to each their own. I need to be selective about what I keep because there just isn’t enough space to save them all. Digital certainly has the advantage there.

I suppose those exclusives and freebies were the reason. I think they needed to do all the things and blew the opportunity. If it was a company with shit for funding I might have more pity but Epic definitely had the budget to do more.

All Epic had to do was build a good store front with similar features as Steam provides. They didn’t. Their store sucked from the beginning and it also blows now. Relying purely on exclusives and freebies was a losing game - they needed to back it up by making the service worthwhile beyond that, and they utterly failed to do so.

The value in the printed word is that it can’t be easily modified. The knowledge and ideas are preserved in a sense, as long as it remains intact. On the internet things can be changed after the fact easily, and it’s much harder to verify what was changed later. Living in the age of misinformation has given me new reason to hang on to my books and even old dvds and cds etc. I recognize what you’re saying too - if you’re just reading for entertainment and moving on it makes sense to pay a minimum and move on when you’re done. I just also find myself clutching to 1984 where it describes making the changes I’m talking about, and holding on to Fahrenheit 451 as it begins to look like book banning and eventually burning is on the rise.

Edit: Ive even changed this comment. It was just spelling.

Thats not an accent dude that’s just someone who cant string a sentence together without making meaningless interjections every several words. It’s the equivalent of saying uhhhh every uhhhh time you need to uhhhhh think because you uhhhhh didn’t figure out your uhhhhh thoughts before uhhhh spitting them out.

Like, she sounds like, so eloquently spoken and with like, well fucking thought out opinions, like fuuuuck! Im totally picking who she is sort of picking but not picking like wow. For real for real.

You must be new. This is America we are talking about.
