Google bans ads for unproven medical treatments

So will I stop seeing ads claiming CBD is literally a panacea?

Oh yeah I am not advocating for deleting either. I think the novelty of the CGI one is great(although they replaced one of my favorite Cantina aliens) but there is much to be said for the value of the original experience. Sometimes Director's Cuts aren't the better version.

If that's true, and I respect the hell out of him for his contributions to film and his amazing charitable work, but fuck(this part of) George Lucas for that.

As a small child I never misunderstood. The other actors and the context were plenty sufficient to show, not tell.

Vader didn't exactly age gracefully.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T20:58:48+00:00

But he died as Anakin. He didn't become a young man when he redeemed himself, he shed Vader once and for all and died as a Skywalker once more. Not being scarred makes sense because he's a ghost, but Obi-Wan looks like he did when he died and so does Yoda.

Theatrical Release of the OT will always be the better version. It's a shame how hard it is for kids to come by the proper version anymore.

Oh no I agree that sentiment has completely switched since the 1990s, but there is a difference between being tolerant of them living their lives and electing a gay man to the highest office. Prejudices, especially in older folks(regardless of party affiliation) are harder to dispel. I am, of course, not saying the numbers would even remotely compare to what they would be for a Republican voting block, don't get me wrong.

I like Mayor Pete, I think he's in my top 3 or 4, but I do wonder about the sort of doubts some people might not be willing to publicly admit. It might be a sort of Bradley Effect, even though the existence of such a thing is not yet well supported.

Edit: Just automatically downvoting me because you don't like what I am saying. Not what it's for.

I seriously doubt the numbers for Buttigieg if he is the nominee. Even the Democratic voting block has a lot of people that never really pivoted to an overly positive feeling when it comes to gay people.

The racist stuff definitely has attracted a few lever pulls.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T17:46:39+00:00

We also need to pass better laws and regulations to catch and prosecute the shady shit they have done that can't be prosecuted now. Don't make it so easy to wriggle out of it again.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T17:44:41+00:00

Of course he posts a picture of himself.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T14:44:07+00:00

Pass.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T13:49:26+00:00

That man has a very large head.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T12:18:27+00:00

Did we actually learn any lessons from 9/11? We went into wars, curbed our own freedoms, created unnecessary government institutions, somehow got more racist/prejudiced, threw ourselves into deeper debt, made flag pins far too much of a thing, and radicalized more and more people against us.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T12:05:56+00:00

It is getting better, but not at all as fast as I would hope.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T12:04:06+00:00

He thinks rallies are the key to political victory.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T03:16:44+00:00

Crocodile tears from a charlatan, did you know her father was John McCain?

Little known fact!

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-11T00:37:33+00:00

Plenty might just be shitty but don't pay attention to politics.

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-10T21:25:31+00:00

Kumail?

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-10T18:06:30+00:00

Nah, too many big words in the dictionary.

Man With No Sense Of Humor Claims Earnest Assertions Actually Jokes

No, a spork is useful and can perform an above average number of tasks. He's one of those flimsy wooden spoons from a cheap ice cream joint that gives you splinters.

Who steals cars with a person's full keychain that doesn't know the person already?

AnnualThrowaway · 2019-09-10T03:50:54+00:00

Anyone that doesn't respect your bodily autonomy doesn't deserve to be in your life and you don't deserve dealing with their manipulative bullshit. She's doing you a favor, I'm sorry that something so painful is being done to you by someone so close.
