I fucking hate that I need to defend this guy, but like, have you guys seen the video? It was very clearly a joke. A joke. There are so, so many things to get pissed off about when it comes to him alone, focusing on a dumb joke is embarrassing. If a democrat said the same thing nobody here would bat an eye.
Sometimes I wish I had read a spoiler so bad that I lost all interest in continuing the show. The eventual disappointment I would have been saved from…
I agree. Poor choice of words on my part.
I think the problem with this is, nobody really wanted Biden or Harris. They were just the best we had. Like, nobody is going to listen to Harris now. But people love Trump, so he doesn’t have that issue.
Edit: The democratic party does not care what their voters want, they need only provide the lesser of two evils to get votes. They believe that so much, that Harris’ entire campaign was to talk about what Trump was going to do rather than what she was going to do. “Look at all these things Trumps gonna do, at least I’m not him!”
Another edit: Indeed, as multiple of you have pointed out, “the best we had” was a poor choice of words. Hell, I think even Walz was a better choice, so it’s not exactly like you need to go looking far for one.
Commissioners Alvaro Bedoya and Rebecca Kelly Slaughter said they’d been dismissed illegally and would sue to block Trump’s order. They also said they consider themselves still part of the FTC, though whether they will still have access to their offices and logistical tools like email going forward was unclear.
From a different, apnews article. Not sure what more you want them to do.
Looks like me and the homies are getting stuck in the Lethal Company universe. We’re probably fine. Unless we work for The Company, then we’re fucked.
Tbf, the vast majority of these creatures are significantly more powerful than humans, and many significantly smarter. They seem perfectly okay with it. I mean hell, you can capture and battle with Poke-God himself. I like to think of it more like a sport all pokemon love or some shit than Pal World-type slavery.
Sad thing is, anybody still not worried by, or unconvinced of, this being our fault also likely sees this as very good news.
And even if you think it’s not a cult, your children will have plenty of time to meet God or whatever when they’re old enough to make the decision on their own. Your god isn’t so weak that he needs to indoctrinate impressionable children to gain followers, is he?
Sid gets a lot of shit for fucking with toys who made sure he had no idea they were sentient.
Not every narcissistic person has NPD.
Shows what you know about narcissism 😎
Though, admittedly, these people probably do have NPD.
Crazy what a bad haircut does to a mf.
It’s not just a day of work if you get fired and your family starves.
Regardless of how justified you, I, or anybody else is in thinking that, my one and only point is that it is advocating violence.
A poll found 41% of voters under 30 viewed the assassination as acceptable.
Crazy how we can see numbers like this and then see other articles saying only “dark corners of the internet” support Luigi.
Eh, to be fair, I get it after looking through the modlog. The implication that you wish far more people were okay with an assassination and that there is no other recourse is absolutely advocating violence. Now, whether or not it’s acceptable to think that way is a whole other topic, but I don’t think it’s fair to say you weren’t at least speaking out in support of violence.
I’ve never understood how one can just throw out half their holy book because their God (supposedly) decided to change the rules. This does not change the fact that he (supposedly) did these evil acts. If you just ignore the parts of the bible you don’t like, God’s a pretty great dude! An argument against Yahweh’s character does not change depending on which parts of the bible are still valid, unless your claim is that the old testament was never valid. In which case, why believe any of it?
Regardless, even the new testament depicts a despicable being. Would it not have been easy, as an all-powerful and all-loving god, to tell people not to own slaves? But no, instead in the new testament slaves are told on multiple occasions to obey their masters. One can preach about love all they want, but when their holy book endorses slavery, I cannot take them seriously.
Regarding your last point, that’s just false. I can criticize the Joker as being evil for killing hundreds, thousands of people. That doesn’t mean the Joker or Batman are real. That’s because I’m criticizing a being described in a story, not something I believe is real.
Edit: I, too, will extend my thinking here. If you believe in an all-powerful and all-knowing god, you need not even look any further through scripture for evidence that he is an evil being. He had the power to create any world with full knowledge of what would be to come, and the world he chose to make was this one. One rife with childhood cancer, slavery, starvation, torture, and natural disasters. This is not a world created by an all-loving being.
I do agree that not all Christians are inherently bad people, but I would be lying if I said I don’t lose respect for anyone who can follow and worship such an awful and evil being as the Christian god.
Hey, that’s not fair. He’s also weirdly into Ivanka Trump.
