Pence and Cruz bring in a psychotic religious angle to their politics, which makes them much worse than Hillary.
Stop defending Clinton! She’s irrelevant! Etc. 🤖
She is, but she was the person in question in the post I was responding to.
A bit hyperbolic, but mostly yes. It depends on the day.
All food tastes the same.
It all tastes like pizza?
It all tastes like nothing.

I’m glad it won Best Picture over Boyhood.
I liked Boyhood but it was an hour too long.
Everything is a product of its time.
Batman - Watching Spider-Man got me in the mood to watch another superhero movie with Michael Keaton. I haven’t seen this one in at least 10 years now, and man, I didn’t realize how much it’s aged. I rewatched Superman last year, and while that came out 10 years earlier, it feels timeless. This, on the other hand, feels very much a product of the 80s, the attitudes, the structure, Knox, so on. It’s very flawed, but on the other hand it really feels like the product of someone’s imagination, a movie. The production design is excellent, and I can’t go a day without quoting Jack Nicholson’s Joker at least once. This is one I can go back to again and again.
It was 1989, so I don’t know that I’d say it’s very much a product of the 80s, which makes it sound very different than a product of the late 80s. I think it’s very much a product of Tim Burton more than the time period.
That’s easily the best scene in the entire film.

No, it wasn’t a small portion of the American population. It was over sixty million people.
Yes, but that’s still significantly less than the portion of the voters that voted against him. If anything, your argument should be that Americans need to choose their President, rather than base it on the electoral college.
The world’s last male white rhino died today.
He did win the 2016 election, he just wasn’t selected by the “American voters”. Whether the alternative is better or not is irrelevant.
People advocating that teachers be armed and armed guards be stationed in schools are a threat to the safety of American children. If I had children, I would consider anyone advocating for such lunacy to be my enemy.
Fair enough, but depending on the type of school it might still be worth it.
Trump appointed an extremely Conservative judge to the Supreme Court so nothing else matters.
Supposedly.
That’s what makes Trump so terrible, actually. Funnily enough, that’s going to be his most long-lasting offense. It puts things like Roe v. Wade, gay marriage/anti-discrimination laws, affirmative action, and separation of church and state at risk.
EDIT: By the way, I know you agree with me, I’m just throwing in my two cents on this.
If that’s the sort of people they elect, better they don’t have national representation.
If Donald J. Trump is the sort of people Americans elect, better if they didn’t have international representation.
Hey, keep in mind that he lost our popular vote by about 3 million. Americans didn’t choose this man. Presumably the dumbass pile of crap in question was elected popularly.
Americans chose him. The alternative was no better. yhwx has a point and maybe we don’t deserve representation at all.
I get that your Trump apologia won’t be broken any time during this administration so I won’t bother with that, but how can you just disregard that he got significantly less votes than the other candidate in the election that Americans had to choose a president? Americans didn’t choose him. Our electoral college did. Americans did not choose him, you’re objectively wrong there. Americans chose Hillary Clinton to be President, but enough of the right states went to Trump, so that’s why he won.
My only apologia is for federalism and the Constitution. Given the party nominating processes you might argue Americans only had the illusion of choice anyway. My low regard for Clinton is no defense of Trump.
It is a defense of Trump. You’re shrugging off his awfulness by talking about how someone who isn’t President would be just as bad, even though everyone has forgotten about her and her career is dead and irrelevant now. I knew Trump people would never be able to stop bringing up Clinton even long after the election. You aren’t being apologetic for federalism and the Constitution, because then you’d be up in arms about Trump and his cronies. The new plan for the war on drugs (which in and of itself is unconstitutional) is yet another example of his disdain for federalism. He’s only interested in state’s rights when it comes to denying people civil liberties. Everything else is big government, just right-wing big government.
Oh my God that’s terrible!
Good news all around. Self acceptance is always worth celebrating and so are fantastic jobs at fantastic barber shops!
Harmy has put up a video on youtube - just to remind everyone that Fan Edits must never be bought or sold.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwKZHv4OS0
It’s a great video, but I’m surprised it still needs to be made today. Spending money on a fanedit in this day and age would be like spending money on pornography. It ain’t 1999 no more.
The quicker, easier, more seductive path is one a fair few people seemingly choose to take (or a lack of knowledge that these are available for free elsewhere)…
And it’s easy money for these parasites who list them.
Leeches who also delete Harmy’s comments (and others’) from their sites and youtube channels.
Unfortunately I suppose I could see them tricking people by listing them not as “Harmy’s Despecialized” but as “Theatrical Star Wars Trilogy” or something like that.
And I still buy Playboy subscriptions for the ‘articles’, dammit 😉
The funny thing is that if someone were paying for Playboy today I’d actually believe that they were doing it for the articles. I mean, they must be, right? Why else would they pay for it?

Weird Science (1985) - Weird is definitely the right word. D+
It’s probably just nostalgia talking but you sir are dead to me.
(Note: Have not seen this movie in at least 15 years, possibly longer. Saw it hundreds of times in the 80’s and early 90’s.)
It’s not just nostalgia, the movie is great and he’s wrong.
EDIT: Actually, I don’t know if it’s great. But it’s at least a solid B-. It’s been forty years since I’ve seen it so I could be misremembering too.
It also says right there in deuteronomy not to prostitute your daughter. Good thing it told them, how else would they have known?
Yeah, I believe Deuteronomy also tells them to have a woman marry her rapist if she was a virgin when the act took place. It’s a product of a very ancient time.
I don’t know much about the Bible but it strikes me as a pretty poor citation for anything.
It’s a great citation for what Jesus Christ was credited as saying in the Bible.
“Was credited as saying.”
Indeed.
Yeah, but the Bible is the Christian holy book, so when talking about what Christians believe that Jesus said, it’s a great citation.
For those that read it, you’re probably right.
Even most Christians that haven’t read the Bible will probably tell you that they believe in the Bible, so I think it’s fair to bring it up when talking about what Christians believe or claim they believe.
From that perspective I suppose so.
“JEDIT: Also, I said “was credited as saying in the Bible.” Meaning that the Bible is a great citation for what Jesus christ was credited as saying in the Bible.”
It’s an accurate statement in the very literal sense that the Bible is a great citation for what Jesus Christ was credited as saying in the Bible. It’s like saying that L. Ron Hubbard’s books are great citations for the words that L. Ron Hubbard put in to writing. It’s only a great citation in very very specific conversations.

Get Out (2017)
Loved it.Oh my god, that’s racist.
I know you’re joking but I don’t quite get it.
A lot of stupid people said that Get Out was racist against white people. I was making fun of them.
