Who the fuck is Harry Sisson, and why should we care?
The hoodie and the haircut alone make him look like a useless layabout, and if these bitches were so stupid as to send him nude pics, that's on them.
A "global army of middle-aged women" is what got us here.
I can't think of a group with less intelligence and less critical thinking skills, but has the same amount of money and influence. Basically every shitty public policy dating back to Prohibition came from the minds of middle-aged women.
OK panel, if males have and X and Y chromosome, and females have two X chromosomes, can you tell me the chromosome type and count for these other sexes? You know, so I can get up to speed on "current biological understanding".
Looks like the article talking about it was from 2023, so you should be good:

Careful, I heard a year or so ago that they were planning to remove "objectionable stereotypes" in the representation of blacks when he's in the Caribbean, and probably other things too. Make sure you get copies that predate this. I also heard something about only being able to get all of the books in Canada due to some copyright stuff in Europe and America. Worth looking into.
"You fixed the lights, but what's going to stop people from breaking them again?"
"We'll put up cameras and arrest the perpetrators."
"Das raciss!"
You literally can't win with these people. If you abandon the infrastructure because they'll just destroy it repeatedly, you're a racist who doesn't provide services to black communities. If you crack down on the vandalism to prevent it from happening, you're racist who overpolices black people. Fuckers.
It was an interesting premise: older guy joins LAPD because he's idealistic. Lots of meat there to explore themes that contrast him with his younger colleagues and show the pluses and minuses of working in a career like that with significant life experience beforehand.
I made it to where he was a training officer himself, and no longer saw the point. This show had long moved past its original premise then should have been renamed "the veteran" or "the mid-career officer".
Certain topics are far more suited to the English style where they release shows as a miniseries. If those get renewed for another season it's basically a sequel miniseries. You're never left with a cliffhanger for a show that was canceled, and they don't milk the story to squeeze out 30 episodes of season.
and does not operate how the rest of the world operates.
I don't agree with this. Who you know, who you fuck, and who you are related to are key success factors in the real world too. I've worked in both government and the private sector, and rarely is the hardest worker or best leader promoted and recognized.
I've seen poor performing women and minorities promoted simply because leadership wanted to look progressive. I've seen management fawn over the pretty chicks, and I've seen friends and relatives of managers get special treatment.
Hollywood is just a magnification of what is going on everywhere.
In theory, but apparently they've become so insufferable that not a single man showed up to a dating event with 1,000 women.
I have never met a women that didn't follow Briffault's Law. I see no reason Chinese chicks would be different.
I keep hearing that there's a resurgence in the sale of physical media for this reason.
I never stopped buying CDs and blu-rays, but they're starting to take up a lot of space. I'm considering just ripping them all to a hard drive and using some media management software to pretty it up so it looks like you're browsing a streaming site. You can always check out discs from the library and add them too.
I'm against any form of viewpoint discrimination by the government. Yes, I know they're not citizens and don't have the same rights, but the concept of the government using its power to punish you because it doesn't like your political opinions inherently chills free speech and is antithetical to democracy.
Isn't that movie 20+ years old? Who spends their time doing shit like this?
used an ableist slur to condemn supporters of Nato membership for Ukraine.
So she called them retarded? I think anyone that uses the term "ableist" should be punched in the throat.
Vermont maple syrup is also a thing. At the stores I shop at it's a complete toss up if the maple syrup stocked is from Vermont or Canada. I'm sure we can get by with domestic syrup.
"Change their spending habits"
80-90% of their population lives within 50 miles of the US border. They simply don't exist as a viable country without us.
Rico will be Hispanic
Wasn't he Filipino in the book? I wish they would just keep the characters in their original gender and ethnicity when they're adapting books.
I guess they really weren't sending us their best...
People forget that society only exists because we've all made a handshake agreement that allowing the government to run things like the justice system and the military is preferable to anarchy.
When society primarily functions to exploit the majority so that a few government officials and wealthy people can enjoy near limitless power and money, it's only a matter of time until enough of the common folk get tired of it that they start a revolution.
IMO, the modern western world is living on borrowed time, bought with the comfort that all of the conveniences we have today give the common folk. They simply have more to lose than gained by revolting, but if that equation were to change, woe to those in charge.
One of the quirks of the American justice system is that pre-trial confinement isn't considered a punishment, despite being functionally the same as the punishment you would get if convicted, so you can end up with situations where someone sits in jail awaiting trial when even the maximum penalty for what they are charged with is less jail time than they already spent in jail awaiting trial.
The right to a speedy trial is meant to prevent this, but each state determines would constitutes "speedy" differently, and they all employ weird formulas that only count time after certain events; like none of the time spent counts against the time limit until you enter a plea for example.
There's ways to fix this, but one thing I've noticed about police, judges, and attorneys, is it they all seem to be fine with the system as it works now instead of being rightfully horrified at situations like this. When the people who have the power to reform the system have no interest in doing so, it's not going to get fixed.
I have no clue who this guy is, but his opening voice over bears no resemblance to the actual person on the screen. He rolls in with this cowboy sounding voice over saying:
There are two kinds of men in the world, those with guns and those who dig...
Broadcasting from a hidden fortress in the Montana wilderness...
And then what appears on screen is what looks like a standard issue soyboy with pubescent beard and pencil arms. I couldn't even listen to the guy's show because the contrast between whatever image he's trying to portray and what he actually is was way too stark.
their friends at school mostly identify with mum's home country
And this is why open borders and unfettered immigration doesn't work. These kids live in England enjoy the benefits of being a resident/citizen there like public schools and welfare, but have no loyalty in return.
Now, the UK can go fuck itself, because this is a problem with their own making, but my concern is that you see the same exact thing in America.
I thought everyone got wise to the Red Cross after Katrina. They're a ton of articles about executive compensation and them wasting donations at the time.
That's a male, because a perm is a woman's hairstyle? I can't take anyone that looks like that seriously. I can't wait for fashion to move on; maybe they'll go back to crew cuts soon.
Suspicions confirmed.
