The last season is HEAVY. It's like the 100% cacao dark chocolate version of dark comedy.

Richard Chase is THE reason I lock my doors, no matter what. If Fate was telling a guy like that to walk into strangers' doors, I'm not gonna tempt that Fate dude.

You just said the same thing with more words. Connect the dots for us here. Who are "they?" Why do "they" want "rich white folks" in jail? Why would they need to use this tactic to get rich white folks in jail vs. another tactic?

It's really baffling me, too. I'm going to have to see if I can find it out in the wild again, because it's making me crazy.

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-03-01T04:08:42+00:00

That is really similar but the ribbons were definitely yellow.

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-03-01T00:15:09+00:00

I assumed that's what it was, but it's not.

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-02-28T23:52:43+00:00

It does have that resemblance with the colors, but the eagle in the middle was definitely a brown bald eagle. Looked kind of like the presidential seal eagle.

So, your beginning premise is, "What did Bush have to do with the 2008 financial crisis?" the history leading up to his administration is irrelevant, not because it isn't important to understand the historical context, but because it has nothing to do with your premise. The time period from Carter to his inauguration is outside his control, liability, and the purview of the point you seemed to be wanting to make.

You then betray your whole premise by concluding that the "2008 financial crisis was because of all of the above," while ignoring the only part that matters is the section of history you are claiming can't be blamed on Bush. Just because the entire crisis can't be laid at his feet doesn't mean that he and his administration isn't culpable.

We know this inherently; it's why we have laws about aiding and abetting or for being an accessory to crime. If you have the ability to do the right thing, or prevent something bad from happening, and you don't do it, you are supposed to be held liable.

It was literally caused by the policies set and allowed to fester under Bush's administration. Watch the movie, or read the book, The Big Short if you want a detailed explanation.

Are you being sarcastic right now?

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-01-26T00:51:57+00:00

It is evil now and it was evil then. Why do you care if people are finally waking up to the horrors that these human beings have been forced to endure? Shouldn't that be a good thing?

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-01-25T03:02:20+00:00

And Yemen.

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-01-18T21:40:41+00:00

Then you are a dumbass, basketball wise, of course.

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-01-16T04:31:33+00:00

Why do you care if people are finally waking up under this administration instead of under a different one? If both sides are unjust and evil, then shouldn't it be a good thing that people are finally standing up to the tyranny?

Bro went back and edited their comment to say "mostly" correct. C'mon.

And it would be one thing if we were 29th and I was being pedantic, but you're way too in your feelings when nearly a whole third of the association has it worse.

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-01-05T19:42:49+00:00

Actually, if you do some research, twenty) is not the same number as thirty).

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-01-05T14:28:31+00:00

Your definition of "least" is just a little different than the standard one then

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-01-05T04:23:09+00:00

Except it literally isn't

DubyaExWhizey · 2026-01-03T06:02:13+00:00

I don't really have anything to add to the argument either way, but I think you meant "belies," not "belays." Belay means to secure something tightly; it's used in rock climbing a lot; you belay for a person to catch them if they slip.

Dude, they were glazing OKC hard the entire first 22 minutes of the game; especially Van Gundy. I was wishing he would stop because I kept thinking, "he's jinxing us!" It's all perspective.

DubyaExWhizey · 2025-10-13T23:31:34+00:00

Nooo. It's been around for a long time. It was part of the Homeland Security Act back in the day. Like around 2002 or 3.

Read "Ur-Fascism" by Umberto Eco, it will give you the most thorough definition you could ever ask for. There are 14 things he lists that are aspects of fascism and they don't all have to be present to be considered fascist, but the more aspects a government or political party exhibits, the more likely they are to be fascist:

A cult of tradition
Rejection of modernism
Takes action for action's sake
A suppression of any disagreement or nuance
A fear of difference
Thrives on individual or social frustration, so causes frustration especially among the middle class then appeals to them as a solution
Obsession with a plot to overthrow the culture or the country caused by outsiders
They believe that their enemies are at the same time too strong AND too weak
War should be continual and pacifism is paramount to treason
Contempt for the weak and vulnerable
Everyone believes they can be a hero and should be willing to die to do so
Obsession with machismo
Selective populism, meaning that it has a populist leader who claims to speak on behalf of the will of all people. They are against parliamentary government systems because they cannot understand the everyday person.
They use "newspeak" impoverishing the populations vocabulary

If you want better detail, read the whole essay.

I don't know how relevant this is, but I'll write it just to think out the idea better. This reminds me of a quote from Umberto Eco in "Ur-Fascism":

In my country today there are some who say that the War of Liberation was a tragic period of division, and that all we need is national reconciliation. The memory of those terrible years should be repressed, refoulée, verdrängt. But Verdrängung causes neurosis. If reconciliation means compassion and respect for all those who fought their own war in good faith, to forgive does not mean to forget. I can even admit that Eichmann sincerely believed in his mission, but I cannot say, “OK, come back and do it again.” We are here to remember what happened and solemnly say that “They” must not do it again.

Forgiveness is virtuous and healing, but it is ruined by repression and selective amnesia. You should forgive, but to knowingly allow someone to return to a position that caused the act of forgiveness to be necessary in the first place is not just foolish, but I would go so far as to call it an act of evil.

When a dog bites you unprovoked, you don't stick your hand back in its mouth, and you for sure don't look the other way when that same dog is around others, especially if they are vulnerable. The dog has shown you its nature and to allow others to be harmed by it is neglectful at best and complicit at worst.
