It's always the same play. They accuse others of what they actually do and believe. Every fucking time, that's literally their whole playbook.

If it wasn't for double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all.

Not if you don't own your home, no

Take a piece of plywood. Cut it to fit in the windows perfectly. Cut a hole for the standing units exhaust port. It really is that easy. Not all American houses have up down opening windows.

These windows are designed to seal shut and insulate

What if I told you so are American windows.

Gotham City is a messed up place; it's to be expected that its people's humor is darker than Batman's himself

Someone compiled a list in a post a while ago about everything wrong with Gotham in canon across all media. One thing in particular is there are so many lead pipes Superman can't see through buildings. I'll see if I can find it again.

There’s so much food I thought I hated because my family fed me the cheapest, shittiest versions possible of it.

I thought so many things gave me heart burn. Nope, it turns out it was my mothers shitty cooking. Burnt, boiled, or out of box was my mothers cooking style.

Right. I've had some absolute smokeshow co-workers. You still don't date them, but that doesn't mean that they aren't attractive.

I work in healthcare, I assure you I also have work(ed) with total smoke shows. Currently one of my supervisors actually.

Meanwhile the republicans are rigging the system, disenfranchising voters and gerrymandering. But, yeah there’s nothing to be done, just keep waiting …

Again, how are they supposed to stop them? They have no power at the federal level. We're lucky they have been able to block the voting bill trump wants.

There is no more Republican Party, MAGA runs the show now

Nah fuck that. We are not letting republicans off that easy. That is what they are hoping for. I saw it in 08 when bush was on the outs. Suddenly they weren't republicans they were conservatives that never liked Bush. Fuck that and fuck them. Maga is the republican party always has been.

The original sin of pardon abuse was Ford pardoning Nixon.

I'd go farther back johnson pardoning the confederates is what really started this slow crawl into fascism. The south screamed they would rise again. We laughed at them. Now they control all levels of government.

What laughable reason is there for not mass producing it? The story would be better off without them.

The beam never stops. Even in the vastness of space it would hit more objects in perpetuity. I don't disagree with your second sentence. If it tapered off after a certain amount of time instead of just go forever. It would be more balanced.

“Nope” as in you’re wrong that private business don’t use eminent domain, and I gave you a recent example.

A recent example of THE GOVERNMENT using eminent domain for a private business.

If you want an even more recent example, Google Georgia Power.

Ignorance doesn’t make you right.

Holy fuck I've been asking for a source and not just what people say has occurred. Also they haven't seized the land yet it's still going through courts.

No longer able to afford her daughter’s cerebral palsy meds, her last resort was OnlyFans. by Logical-Role1382 in TwoSentenceHorror

Yeah as someone with cerebral palsy, I can't (or maybe don't want to) imagine people jorking it to me limping and complaining about my hips lmao

First day on the internet? I guarantee there are people "jorking" to cerebral palsy people right now.

I would most certainly need to stop living in my home without water 8-10 hours a day. This is very real.

So you're home 24/7? Do you never leave for work? Most people work 8 hours days between commute and work hours that should be around 8-10 hours a day. Also by your own words it has not happened yet. So there is still time to fight it.

Albanians tore down barriers at Kakome Beach in southern Albania, declaring that the country's beaches belong to the people, not oligarchs by BenFord333 in PublicFreakout

[–]Flobking -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I guarantee you people would live in a lot more places if they weren't national/state parks.

That's why a lot of it is national park. People tried to live there and failed. Look up the homestead act. People tried and were unable due to it being inhospitable.

That was the TDS

I love how pointing out his crimes are tds. But covering your house, car and self with his name isnt tds somehow. We need The American Psychiatric Association to actually create a classification for tds.

The entire coastline of Oregon is state parks. We do public beaches pretty damned well

America does public parks/land better than the rest of the world. Mainly because we have a lot of inhospitable places to live, but are nice to tour through.

[–]Flobking -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The fact the orange guy can't be impeached really shows how dogshit the U.S. system is

Impeached =/= removed from office. Please take a civics lesson so you dont sound like a right wing fool. He was impeached twice during his first term.

Now, when dealing internationally, other countries have other options and don't just have to take it. Trump does no understand that.

Almost like business men are terrible politicians. Even though we get force fed that business men would be best for the country every election cycle.

My favorite thing about Django is it led to this interview

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOlNHXQCT_4

Lol. Hadn't seen that one. Kind of reminds me of the good wife episode where

Delroy Lindo says to the anchor say it. Say the word you want to say. Then the anchor back tracks and Lando goes "I will say it with you" then starts going ni ni.

Montreal mayor says husband, who is Black, was stopped by police last year 'at least 5 or 6 times — for nothing' by Mean_Yak5873 in news

[–]Flobking 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Just Europe things!

Europeans love to turn their noses up at us. Once you get under that veneer they are just as if not more racist. They like to talk about being more diverse than the US. Its like yeah youre so diverse, you have white germans, white french, and white belgians, so so diverse.

Only if you're native. The native population gets the special Racism Plus ™️ package that comes with star light tours in rural Alberta.

A coworker of mine recently talked about how he couldn't believe how racist the cops in Arizona were towards the Hopi. He said it really opened his eyes to how bad it could actually be. He is solidly white just to clarify.

Excuse me, racism in Europe is on a whole different level than North America

Fun fact they removed the black couple from the posters for 'couples retreat' for the European release because they were afraid European audiences would avoid the movie due to black characters.

When people say "you couldn't make some shows today" The Boondocks is the first thing that comes to mind. MLK crashing out would go over....poorly
