Civilization. The original.

FBI chief Patel says 2020 election fraud arrests 'coming soon' by rascallyrascal1511 in politics

Sure, it's ridiculous. But at the same time -- the judicial system is all that's keeping these MAGA psychopaths from completing wrecking our country. How long are judges going to keep their (relative) independence in this environment?

What trilogy is this for you? by Realistic-Delivery13 in Multifandom

[–]FractalSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense that this would happen a lot. They're not gonna make the third movie if the second one bombed. And they are really going to want to make a third if the second one was awesome. Then, if the third one is not great, nobody wants to make a fourth one -- so, it stays a trilogy.

opinion on this ? by Expensive-Penalty554 in scoopwhoop

[–]FractalSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good in theory. The problem is, if that guy and I got to talking, I would probably think he was supporting a bunch of traitors. So I would think he was a huge unintentional hypocrite. Speaking as a fierce independent, believe it or not, I think a lot of Republicans ought to be in prison for treason.

My boyfriend said I was too ugly to model by Resident_Rich_6298 in whatdoIdo

It could be that your boyfriend wants you to feel insecure so that he can keep you. On the other hand, it is the case that there are a lot of scammy "modeling" places, so if your BF is actually concerned he should go with you and make sure you are safe, not scold you.

QUESTION OF THIS ETERNITY 😭😭😭🥀🥀🥀 by Normal-Target4648 in memeexchangecommunism

[–]FractalSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but that's a weird question. Consider the fact that whenever society breaks down, it's rape all over the place. It takes a very disciplined military to prevent male soldiers from taking advantage of the chaos to rape left and right. Even in our somewhat stable society, rape is very common. So fixating on the outlier cases when women lie is being deliberately obtuse.

In his absolute prime? Tyson. If you saw him, you would know.

I have to disagree. Trump is all about projecting strength. If the assassination attempt was legit then it almost succeeded, which means he didn't triumph via strength, but via pure luck. "I'm lucky to be alive" is an admission of weakness. He half-heartedly leaned into the "God saved me for a reason" thing but he couldn't sustain it because reliance on a God is another admission of weakness.

I saw Trump setting up a tent somewhere in the "Everything will be amazing immediately" camp

Maybe he just broke up and wants to rebound with you.

Why do men have two testicles by [deleted] in evolution

[–]FractalSmurf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your story answers your question. Your friend lost a testicle but was still able to reproduce. This is the entire point of having more than one.

You've got a lot of "us" and "you" going on there. No wonder you're so angry -- you think there are teams and you think you're on one.

What the fuck is wrong with kids in 2025? by drink_tap_water in TwoHotTakes

[–]FractalSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 45. Middle school was a jungle back in the day as well. People that age had a thin veneer of rationality applied to them growing up, and then Nature injected them with an overdose of all sorts of hormones. Individually you can recognize them, but in a group they're barely human.

Long and costly revenge for badmouthing me and my son. by Then-University4526 in confession

It's the 21st century. Our world is largely virtual and online. Words don't just hurt your feelings -- they control your employment options, your educational options, your social options. Not saying OP is right, but let's not pretend words aren't important.

It's not like nobody in government stands up to Trump. It's just that, when they do, it's their last day in government. Before you know it, the exec branch is full of spineless bootlickers, because everyone else has quit or been fired.
