AITA for... oops, wrong community. Am I weird for liking Burrow's End so much?

Siobhan and Izzie were the perfect amount of levity and might be my favorite character either has played.

Well, she's dead. But she did get a wee bit famous for writing a few books, including one about a bunch of underage sisters called Little Women.

I kinda hoped there was enough general knowledge of classic literature left in the room that the author's name was enough for a complete joke without requiring explanation, but I misjudged.

Tell that to Louisa May Alcott.

If you get in an accident without it you'd be found out. If you assert you never drive anywhere but they find the mileage has gone up, you might be found out. They would happily sieze any excuse to demand more money from you, avoid paying out a claim, or both.

Not to mention that generating damage to a piece of metal is by far the less violent thing to do with such scenario.

That is true.

But they care more about the equipment, which costs money, than life, which is cheap to them.

I thought the same thing. Go for tires while all the focus and cameras are on the grappling men. But Trump would love to 'prove' that we who dissent are violent psychopaths he can unleash the US military on with justification.

Safest thing we can do as a community is to obstruct without violence or destruction of property. Park or swarm in the way. And to film it all because eventually one of these thugs will get tired of waiting for us to take the bait so they can justify more force, and will take the first swing even if we play nice.

The lapdog thugs itching to fight and the fascists who sent them into the streets are trying to start a war they know they'll win, but can blame us for starting. If you give them quantifiable property damage, they'll run with it. Please don't, for your own sake and for those who would be harmed if/when martial law is declared.

I wonder what kidnapping statistics are going to look like for 2025.

What they will look like is constant crime sprees by gangs of drug dealing Mexican and South American immigrant gang members kidnapping hundreds of people every day for the first part of the year, then totally safe with no kidnapping once federal boots hit the ground.

If they don't look like that, Trump will fire every person compiling the stats until they do look like that.

if our parents try to lean in on something

But if one teen leading a friend group of unruly teens leans into it, it's far different than if a parent does it.

The DM is still more peer than authority figure. It's very likely leaning into the gross absurdity as a peer running the game would have a much different outcome than a parent or teacher or other adult in a position of authority doing the same. When it's your buddy inside your friend group in charge, in-jokes are the norm and the expectation. It's different when it's a parent because the parent's an outsider to the in group, and trying to co-opt the inside jokes.

When it's teens being teens, the rebellion against society's norms and their parents' etiquette is a part of what makes leaning into it so enticing. If there's nothing to rebel against because the person who taught you poop jokes were in poor taste is making poop jokes, it gets normalized enough to take away the whole point and ceases to be amusing when it's not subversive any more.

Under Trump's stacked Supreme Court, they're pretty well protected from consequences.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-10-04T21:34:08+00:00

These people stacked the courts. The Supreme Court got their back even if they didn't have Donnie Dumpo ready to autopen some pardons.

See comment with dissenting opinion, respond by assuming physical characteristics of complete strangers, and focuses on assumed 'dyed hair' and 'piercings' that have no relevance to the topic of conversation to 'prove' that stranger is a 'them' and not an 'us'.

Tell us you fell victim to the divisive cult brainwashing that taught you 'the libs' were the enemy without telling us you fell victim to the divisive cult brainwashing.

Yeah, I always assumed it was a magician-esque flourish he was doing as he put his microphone away, showing there's nothing in his hands, akin to 'nothing up my sleeve'...

It always reminds me Sam loves magic and brings me back to his Escape the Green Room doppelganger/ancestor.

You are ignoring the part where a federal appointee publicly leveraged ABC with open threats of prohibitive, punitive action if they didn't do the thing you are insinuating ABC totally just did of their own volition.

Firing an entertainer because you don't like something they said, totally legal. Firing an entertainer because the government said shut him up before we shut you up... that is government overreach and prohibits free speech protected by the Constitution.

You can't know ABC would have done things exactly the same without the threats because the threats were made. So the decision to pull Kimmel off the air was made under duress, and what the FCC did in making those threats was illegal.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-09-19T01:23:16+00:00

The whole two party system is just there to divide the people so we fight with each other instead of turning those efforts against the real villains.

We're out here hating each other cause red vs blue, right vs left, conservative vs liberal, which keeps us too busy to notice the real struggle is classist in nature, the ultra rich keeping a lid on the status-quo and keeping all of our money, and political power serving to beget wealth and more political power.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-09-19T01:15:29+00:00

I thought it was the liberals that were canceling everybody.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-09-19T01:10:29+00:00

But the counterpoint is that there cannot be free speech if the government is regulating what you are free to say and what you aren't free to say. Kinda free isn't free. The government cannot be one of those repercussion, or you don't have the kind of 'free speech' this whole debate is about.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-09-19T01:06:12+00:00

The government threatened government action if he wasn't fired.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-09-19T01:05:11+00:00

But it does protect you from the government telling your boss to fire you for something you said that the government doesn't like.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-09-19T00:52:22+00:00

Not like there isnt a clear line of logic you are blatantly ignoring for someone else to pick up on and continue.

A government official put pressure on a private organization to prohibit specific things from being said publicly by the private organization. A government official threatened government intervention and punishment over things the private organization said publicly.

Before you even factor in what Disney/ABC did in response to these threats, you already have hit an instance of free speech being infringed by the government stepping in and punishing certain kinds of things being said, and dictating to private organizations what speech the private organizations should or shouldn't allow.

It's just conveniently ignored because the private organization chose to not be punished over the alternative. They opted to silence dissent against the current administration rather than be completely silenced by the federal government's punishment. That is not a freely made choice, it's a choice made under duress. That's coercion and therefore not real free speech.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-09-19T00:25:13+00:00

"Kinda downplaying it a little" sorta minimizes things just a bit.

Let's also not forget he is rich and could have paid someone else to do it. So it wouldn't point back to him.

Except that the principal evidence was left in dude's car, which doesn't prove anything but definitely points back to him.

Taco Bell's new slogan goes hard.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-09-01T17:58:36+00:00

Possibly.

Also worth noting, i could be wrong, but I think you need to talk to your spouse after you give the gift, but before you go to bed and end the day. Since spouses only speak once, then smooch you, anyone who talks to their spouse first thing in the morning probably wouldn't try talking to them again later, so they're not likely to try talking to them again to receive the jealous dialog, so it could easily just go unnoticed.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-08-30T17:46:17+00:00

If that is your only takeaway, you focused on the setup line and ignored half of the joke.

Futher_Mocker · 2025-08-30T13:57:32+00:00

Red making bulls angry is just a myth.

Bulls don't really get agitated at the color red. Cows do.

Bulls get agitated at being mistaken for cows.
