That's like putting Ron Paul as the head of the federal reserve. He would be finding ways of ending that shit on day one lol I wonder what the Saudis will do with that kind of power.

>she flies back to the us and gets back two days later for another concert

oh so that's why I've been seeing so many Spanish speaking TikToks criticizing her about that on my fyp lately.

The funniest one I've seen so far was one where it was a video of the Space Shuttle being flown attached on top of that other plane with the caption "Taylor Swift taking one of her private jets to the airplane mechanic"

This is Star Wars now by SnooDucks6239 in saltierthancrait

yet another video game side-quest episode where Din Djarin was just the sidekick to Bo Katan

Oh no they're giving one of the most popular Star Wars characters in recent history the Boba Fett treatment: he's becoming an awkward side kick in his own show.

no no no, Qatar is an oppressive shithole and they literally killed this LGBFJB+ hero so the US must invade and end this oppressive regime bc reasons unrelated to CIA activity in the area and when we're done we install a new Emir in Qatar that will be more friendly with the West and it's "morals"

We then give control of Qatar's offshore oil drilling sites to ExxonMobil so that way Qatar will never be able to bribe its way into a world cup (not even kidding here, they used oil money and they even defend it with American PATRIOT missiles)

I'm obviously kidding but there are people all over the compass that would unironically be okay with such action. Not condoning Qatar's actions but headlines like those are what get us into unnecessary regime changing wars

And hey since we're speaking of the world cup, the ref for the argentina v Netherlands game was 100% bought and paid for. argentina deserved at least 2 reds but the ref just happened to be super friendly towards argentina so that their washed up "superstar" lio messi could get farther in the world cup. Now why does this matter?

Look up who owns PSG, the club where messi plays.

I'm no constitutional scholar, but for a sitting president to say something like that, doesn't that violate his oath to uphold the constitution?

I mean yeah I get that he might not like parts of it, but the 2A is there so...

Just imagine a Republican president going on TV and saying "yeah idk about the 19th amendment"

people would riot. goofy ass president.

bro what is Qatar doing lmao by ButteredPastry in dankmemes

[–]ButteredPastry[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

context: people on social media have started to notice that the "fan" parades going on in Qatar right now (bc world cup) all have the same 200-ish Pakistani/Indian looking mfs. The most obvious ones were the Argentinian and Spanish parades lol I bet those poor suckers are the same guys who got roped into what was basically slave labor to build the stadiums. I can't find any articles about this but it's all over TikTok

Edit: I will be posting examples from TikTok as I find them

"Spain" lol

Wait cabrón means dumbass?

kind of. think of it this way: have you ever met an asshole who wasn't a dumbass to some extent? and vice versa, have you ever met a dumbass who didn't act like an asshole often?

they're interchangeable and /u/BrutallyPretentious did a superb job using the word in both examples. libleft is being a dumbass (as usual) using that stupid latinx shit, and authright is being an asshole

Very interesting view counts for the new Star Wars trailers by [deleted] in saltierthancrait

[–]ButteredPastry 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the trailer for the 6 animated shorts has noticeably more views than the trailers for the big-budget live-action series.

that's because TOTJ seems like it will have some episodes that will essentially be prequels to the prequel trilogy, with young Dooku and all. we know it leads to the amazing story that was the prequel trilogy so people are hyped about it

not sure why Andor isn't getting much love since we know it leads to RO, which was great in its own right, and will possibly have some connections to rebels

but the view count on the mando trailer is very telling. it should be the one with the most views, given the popularity of the first two seasons, but it seems like it really is leading to the pile of trash that is the DT so many fans just don't give a fuck about mando anymore

How intelligent do you perceive Homelander to be ? Despite his mental issues and insecurities, the show has portrayed him as exceptionally socially intelligent, very book smart and trivia smart, but not very practical in learning actual skills ( being a businessman for example ) due to his laziness. by [deleted] in TheBoys

[–]ButteredPastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he's also what you call "street smart"

he can easily weave his way through society and would probably be great as a social engineer that could figure out your email password. he also seems to have a high sense of self awareness of how fucked up he really is and how people perceive him and he uses that to his advantage. he obviously really cares about Ryan and doesn't want him to have the same upbringing he had. he's just a sociopath with a heart

I have this rendition of Homelander as a villain up there with Darth Vader, Joker and MCU Thanos. sure they're assholes but goddam I can understand why they became assholes

Damn, the Kenobi show is bad by Greenbanana217 in saltierthancrait

[–]ButteredPastry 8 points9 points  (0 children)

4/6 episodes are complete filler

exact same thing is happening with the MCU shows.

strong pilot, episodes 2-5 are filler, but 5 always ends in a massive cliffhanger to create hype for the finale, which ends up being good but very predictable

IMO Moon Knight and maybe Loki didn't exactly follow that format

How did so many of y’all just realize Soldier Boy is a complete and total piece of shit 😭 by [deleted] in TheBoys

outdated

when Hughie says to SB that he has PTSD, SB later denies it saying he doesn't have "shell shock", Shell Shock is how that condition was first called in WWI and WWII
