Imagine millions of echo-chamber Twitter bots, but instead of just liking and retweeting the content of "influencers", actively posting their own variants of the message du jour in a believable way.
That, and shilling shitcoin, and for designating additional shitting streets.
White supremacy is an economic fact. Not financial, in terms of money, not moral, but economic, in terms of choices made by actual humans. Non-whites will vehemently deny it, and whites won't admit to noticing, but when you remove observation bias and allow people to make their own choices, everybody wants fairer skin, more distinction between masculine and feminine traits, and more interesting eye and hair colors.
That almost reads like part of the intro to Idiocracy, but I couldn't say what it's from.
HuffPaint, a profitable news venture? I see at least two things wrong with that assessment.
Make it a condition of the $14,000,000,000,000 in reparations.
You get a shitload of greenbacks on the other side of the plane ticket. Stage some luxury goods on the other side of the Atlantic, and some social media posts about how great everything is over there, and they'll be scrambling over themselves to get a chance to ride bitch seat in the middle aisle of a 777.
$325 grand for your US citizenship is a trade enough of the bad apples would take that we'd get some peace and quiet for long enough to pay off the debt incurred in paying it out.
The director is, of course, a young black guy with almost no experience. The writer is shockingly a white man, but he has NO OTHER writing credits. Nothing. Not a single fucking thing. I'm assuming he is gay and sucked a room full of dicks to get this job because that is the only explanation I can think of.
I have an alternative theory:
The original script was nothing like the final draft except that it was a heist movie with a twist. The director re-wrote it, but didn't pursue a writing credit.
If it's a success, he can trot out the original treatment and prove he re-wrote it, and claim he didn't want the legal battle involved with writing royalties because he had a film to make.
If it's a failure, the director can play the mercenary, and say he shot the film as it was written.
As for why the author of the original draft didn't remove his name from the production, he doesn't have any prior credits. Now he has a screenwriter's guild card. He got his foot in the door.
If by some strange twist the film was successful, he'd be a good screenwriter, but even a bad screenwriter is better than a barista.
Everybody wins except the people who financed the thing. No conspiracies involved, just people acting in their own (perceived) best interest.
Apparently that begins upon arrest, not at the commission of the act alleged to be unlawful.
Not only that, but more likely to be raised by two married parents than White kids today.
If anything, he needs to work in the garden for a few months, on a busted up old weight bench. His press photo looks skinnyfat.
SIM swapping doesn't transfer application data, so the various software OTP applications have some utility left.
Why would allowing deranged psychopaths access to children be the ideal answer in a sane world any more than it is in clown world?
You really think they're going to be able to keep the wheels on this train another 17 years?
Politics is violence. If the relationship was consensual, it'd be economics.
As a practical matter, it doesn't matter whether your hypothesis or the traditional one is correct; both roughly explain women's voting preferences.
New base general (forgot his name) did alright, but he didn't have quite the same spark as Hammond.
Beau Bridges, best known for being the younger brother of the Jeff of the same name.
Can't beat Don S. Davis for the serious general we wish the Air Force had, though in my experience, Beau was closer in temperament to most flag officers. He had that politician veneer that most senior officers had, while Don had the grit that I'd expect from a man who'd started his career as a private, not a lieutenant.
a lot of it's because the writers just couldn't narrow down who her character should be
Nah, I hated every direction they took her skanky Mary-Sue ass equally. I didn't like the slag, I didn't like the never-before-seen former Gou'auld host, and I didn't like the campy misfit. She didn't belong in a serious military outfit, and unlike the cast of the original series, she hadn't earned any leeway. An actual military outfit would have treated her like Teal'c would have been treated in Season 1 if he couldn't fight and consistently betrayed the team and abandoned the mission for personal reasons multiple times. i.e. taken out back and buried in a very deep grave.
The soft reboot with 50% new cast was not a good plan, but they didn't feel like they had enough foundation to start Atlantis yet, is my guess.
There was nothing particularly offensive about the new AF general casting, or the younger lead, but they were very... bland.
Claudia Black's character, on the other hand, I despised.
I've been on both sides of this one.
Victim:
At around 3am, I had an average-sized 20-something white guy start trying to break in the front door of my apartment, shouting a mix of "Let me in!" and "I'm going to kill you when I get in!"
I got my gun out of my bedside safe, chambered a round, and found my phone and called the cops. I talked to the dispatcher. I put it on speaker, and had the dispatcher confirm she could hear the threats to my life and the pounding on the door. I informed the man on the other side that he was at the wrong fucking apartment and if he managed to make it inside, it would be his last mistake (with the dispatcher off speaker and on mute). He got tired before he made it through the deadbolt, and left. At 7am when the police showed up to take my report, I showed them the cracks in the wood from him throwing his weight against the door, made my statement, and that was the last I ever heard of it.
3am, "I'm gonna kill you when I get in there motherfucker!" and it took over 20 minutes for him to give up and go away, and not a cop in sight, with dispatch listening to the threats the whole time.
I assume he was drunk, believed he was outside a friend's apartment, and they were fucking with him by locking him out, and it was bluster, but I had no way to be sure. I was glad I didn't have to defend myself. I didn't get any more sleep that night, and to this day I'm not sure whether I would've been able to make a call and react in time if he had been armed and serious.
Perp:
I walked up an extra flight of stairs by mistake, and spent what felt like 10 minutes trying to get my key to work in the lock. It wasn't until I dropped my keys and bent down to pick them up that I realized I didn't have a welcome mat and was at the wrong apartment. I wasn't loud, wasn't making threats, but I was trying to get in to somebody else's apartment after last call.
I'm quite glad I didn't get myself shot. If somehow I had, and had survived it, I think I would've been a witness for the defense, not the prosecution. I shouldn't have been there, and I shouldn't have been drunk enough I wasn't paying attention to the numbers by the door. On the upside, dwelling on this low moment helped me reign in my habit of occasionally seeking oblivion. A lot of people have found rock bottom in much worse ways.
The old man probably should have waited until the door was forced open, because evidence of forced entry would work in his favor in a court of law, if not a court of public opinion.
We don't get the benefit of hindsight in the moment, though. If you're going to be armed, and I recommend it, spend some time thinking through what you're going to do and what you need to do to protect yourself, not just in the moment, but after.
Like the difference between acute symptoms and a chronic disease, it's a distinction without a difference.
It is absolutely aggravated by the media, so there's plenty of blame to go around, just not very far, because damned near everybody in mass media is related.
You mean 86 some 13s.
Por que no los dos?
There are a lot of people in this thread who I have never seen post before.
Almost makes one wonder what drew them to this thread specifically.
If they had organic engagement, you'd see these names elsewhere. You look at the history, and half of them haven't had a post in the last month that doesn't have the word "loli" in it.
If telling you that it is dangerous to your own psyche to entertain degeneracy is "using morality as a cudgel", I'd hate to see what kind of linguistic lapdance you're looking for as a "guide to help people".
You are sick, and the only way for you to get well is to stop. indulging. the. fantasy. before. it. consumes. you.
Telling you to stop jerking off to fictional kids before you start jerking off to real ones is no different than a doctor telling a 300-lb man to stop eating before he becomes a 500-lb man.
Pursuing sick fantasies makes manifesting a sick reality inevitable.
This Constitution is fit only for a just and moral people. It would be dangerous to any other.
You degenerates lack the ability to self-regulate, so when you hear that an idea should not be given voice, you automatically assume that restriction is imposed by external force rather than self-control.
Neither Conservatism nor Liberalism will save you from your nature, base animal.

I've read that name before. Never saw the clip.
