Between that and passing their hands under the saw blade they did look like they were trying to make every mistake possible, didn't they?

So, uh, how's that "Being less of a political whore" thing working out for you, CNN?

If they're specifically targeted white males for redundancy how could it be legal?

Agreed. Surgery fanboys (what a category to have) are seizing upon the vast group of troubled teenagers and, because they're ideologically motivated to do so, trying to con as many of these troubled teenagers as they can that whatever troubled the teenager, the solution is to start cutting, because this is how they reproduce.

Once they have ruined the teenager's body they're in - it's very hard to take a step back at this point, and, with a bit more grooming, all the anger and hatred the teenager feels can be directed outward - at conning the next generation of teenagers into ruining their bodies.

Interesting if true - essentially, Disney - and it's properties - are stepping away from traditional heroes because they think they've got that market wrapped up, and that the people represented by those more classical heroes simply won't boycott.

To be fair, I think they're technically correct - I very much doubt there's going to be an organised Soccer Mom boycott of Disney ... but at the same time I suspect they'll see that drop they're seeing now because, having focused on diversity ahead even of story, their recent work is trash and so people are staying away for that reason.

I mean, when they have the odd story that actually works you still get the numbers. It's just Disney - somehow! - is pushing less of these than they used to.

Inflation Reduction

$400bn in environmental spending

You keep using that word...

but not the ideology that tried to assassinate the president.

Ahh, but you forget, he's the wrong kind of President and so wasn't ever really president at all - he stole that from Clinton, you bigot!

Now shut about about electoral fraud, you insurrectionist!

See, that's the great thing about evidence, it doesn't care if you wanted to lie or not.

Not that I've seen the evidence, but lying about something documented would seem a bit of a risky play, no?

They are united - at least 80%, anyway. Them against us.

"And on the plus side, we can also use our new death ray to incinerate anybody who argues with Supreme Overlord - sorry, I mean 'Governor' - Newsom"

"So, now, when you break Twitter T&Cs, your entire life savings disappears and you starve to death in a corner! Isn't progress great?"

More likely they're trying to keep themselves employable regardless of cost to the taxpayer.

The thing is, there were, and in the Second Age, that this bloody series is about, they'd not gone all-in on the Sauron worshipping yet.

They could have legitimately had an interesting series about the people who would later become the Haradrim and how they got there, and discarded it because they wanted to claim and colonise the main storyline for themselves.

I would like to offer my sincere condolences to Dekachin's family, for dekachin's terribly unfortunate and fatal accident wherein he ran backwards into several .45ACP rounds at high speed.

The entire philosophy of the left is that self-control is a special kind of evil. Rosseau's teachings are that the highest state of being would be to reduce mankind to a collection of savage animals.

I do also wonder how these "secret sleepers" are supposed to not get cancelled, one would think that in the course of winning anything in red areas they'd necessarily have to make commitments that any good democrat is going to find impossible to support.

At least, if they don't already, I'm sure many republicans will be looking for every kind of shibboleth to weed out these interlopers.

Re falling back ... honestly, that's the better move from the Russian perspective. If they don't the Ukrainian forces will do to them what the Soviet army did to the Germans - surround and destroy. I don't imagine the Russian army has forgotten how that goes for the guys getting surrounded.

Still, seeing as my taxes are contributing to financing this proxy war, good. This brings the hope it might at some point come to a conclusion.

It is not specified to be abused by this point?

I suspect because without anything to back up the assertions made, merely shouted into the void, there's nothing to discuss.

It's simply doom-mongering, and while I didn't downvote it myself (it'd didn't reach my own benchmark of "shitting the bed") I can understand those that did.

The is the thing that gets me. There are other races in LoTR - Amazon could have easily written something about Umbar, that would become Harad, but instead they wanted to colonise the existing story and claim it for themselves.

Anybody else starting to think that the narrative bullshit around this series might be better planned out than the series itself?

That, and not being able to comprehend that individuals exist.

If one man is to be perpetually unhappy, all men must be perpetually unhappy.

Not to forget the Scouring of the Shire: The Prequel - where did those Harfoots go?

The 50/50 thing is how a postmodernist pushes for complete domination.

It's 50/50, you should be representing us more!

Combined with

Those 50% are bad

And just keep going. Once it's more than 50%, identify a tiny subsection that's still showing less than 50%, use that instead of the general population to expand your privilege - because what this is, is building an aristocracy, make no mistake. Keep going until there are no lower classes men anywhere they might trouble their betters.

More accurately, she wants you to buy an electric car that you will then be prevented from using.

That way she gets the tax on the car sale without having to bother repairing infrastructure - best of all worlds!
