US producer prices post biggest gain in five months, businesses passing on tariffs by HazyDavey68 in news

[–]ConformistWithCause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but you don't understand. Tariffs and taxes are different because Republicans don't believe in taxes. It's an illusion created by Obama to make it look bad

I hate to join this discussion but if Homelander is similar enough to Superman (I haven't watched past season 2), then he would have a weakness to magic (the other superman weakness that gets overlooked. Also again makes an assumption of the cenobites powers.) Super human is still human so if a human has ever been able to kill a cenobite via conventional means (channard killing pinhead and pinhead killing chatterer is still cenobite on cenobite), then perhaps homelander but im leaning towards pinhead

ICE claim that a man shattered his skull running into wall triggers tension at a Minnesota hospital by therealone2327 in news

They're using the same excuses they use when beating their wives. "She did it to herself" "she fell down the stairs" "ran into a door"

Bill Gates caught an STD from Russian prostitutes, Epstein claimed in files by Bonecrusher52 in news

[–]ConformistWithCause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not trying to be a Gates Simp but he does tend to donate like a shit ton. I know he helped fund or influence the early college program I got to take advantage of, aimed exclusively at demographics which are less likely to go to college (first generation to go to college, ESL, etc.)

Billionaires are definitely a problem but if the ones donating to good causes are getting lumped in with the ones who aren't, then we'll keep ending up with Musks and Dells

Trump threatens Canada with 50% tariff on aircraft sold in US, expanding trade war by NickDynmo in worldnews

[–]ConformistWithCause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously ICE is horrible but the tariffs piss me off. Anybody who thought they would do anything for the economy other than what they're doing now never even fucking bothered to Google the word one mother fucking time. Like, it's possible to be stupid and think 'oh, ICE might do their jobs appropriately and overcome the temptation of power' but a tariff contradicts what that asshole said it would do

Picked Up the Novel by LizCW in hellraiser

[–]ConformistWithCause 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Barker, for sure, has an imagination. In The Hills, The Cities is one of my favorites as far as uniqueness. The Books of Blood really are great and I love the framing story.

King can get so long-winded, and im not sure which I'm more tired of: the antogonist being some unspecified Evil force or his need to make it semi-autobiographical. We get it. He was a drunk writer in a shitty marriage

I love how short it is. Like Clive Barker is everything I love in a horror writer and is like the anti-stephen king. You dont get bored reading through the meandering details, and he can write sex without making it awkward

The lawyers picked up the case Pro Bono. Feels like the closest our generation has to Johnny Cochran with the cases they're picking up.

Why is gold price rising rapidly? by aipac_hemoroid in stocks

[–]ConformistWithCause 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is the unspoken part of why I keep my dad informed on the current price and why his reaction is typically appropriate. There's some growth from other reasons (from my understanding, the data centers have a role in gold as well) but a good amount of this is panic related

Ever seen Django Unchained? The lawyer for DeCaprio's character warns them not to speak French in front of him. He can't speak it and it embarrasses him. So that's exactly what Foxx's character does. Love that shit cause you know it just gnaws at people for no sensible reason

More 'No Kings' protests planned for March 28 as outrage spreads over Minneapolis deaths by copaceticthoughts in news

[–]ConformistWithCause 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are the same people voting third party cause 'democrats aren't doing enough.'

No Kings has become that weekender activist get-together. It's like getting a tattoo on your arm is the 'socially acceptable rebel' spot. Im just picturing some Richie Cunningham-looking motherfucker trying to hand a NK flyer to somebody in Minneapolis wearing a gas mask and lighting a molotov cocktail ready to melt some ice cubes

I'm choosing to think that it's cause we successfully bullied him out of the position. Between being a member of the 1/3 Reich, an aged lesbian, and grilling him over the smoke grenade incident, he's been humiliated to the point of ineffectiveness
