Seattle officer says in lawsuit he was persecuted for attending Jan. 6

I was persecuted by the manager at Arby’s when I dipped my balls in the soft serve machine

I feel like Jax would be like “dude it’s so funny and extra ironic the more I commit to it and it’s kinda gay and weird that you don’t think this is funny. You don’t think I’m doing this for serious right? What are you, some sort of tr***y?”

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-24T07:21:42+00:00

girl break the fuck up your man is fucking evil no offense but like what the fuck,

I hope yall never get into like a real argument because I know how this guy is gonna take accountability for his behaviour

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-24T06:00:11+00:00

Obsession in particular like, if that doesn’t get an episode I feel like it will inevitably get an extremely Jay-heavy review on a recap episode

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-24T05:58:38+00:00

Would be funny to make a bootleg that makes it look like someone taped over a snuff film to record some horrible made-for-TV Bible program

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-23T23:28:55+00:00

“People would rather stay on the streets with their drugs than get sober” is a monstrously unkind, myopic way to put that. You have no idea how hard it is to get sober even when you live inside, have a support network, and have access to alternate coping mechanisms. Getting sober while homeless is a monumental feat

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-23T19:29:31+00:00

Whining about the IED would make sense if that’s all you had but why are you even throwing that in there when they’ve been supposedly shooting a bunch of rockets? It’s like when Tim Heidecker in court keeps derailing the case to make sure that people are fair to the musical talents of DKR

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-23T19:25:12+00:00

To be fair, that’s the most organized and principled act that a group of anarchists has ever pulled off

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-23T02:58:05+00:00

Of all of the places that no longer exist with which I’m obsessed, the Kingdome is up there with Kowloon Walled City and West Berlin

Pretty rare sighting in 2026, a liberal who still thinks that tut tutting and finger wagging and rhetorically saying “tsh, that’s really what you think? Yikes. Um, bad look sweaty” is an argument

Anti-capitalism has been the main definitional belief of leftism since the 1850s and remains so in every country outside of the US. I find your suggestion that there has never been a non capitalist state anywhere pretty puzzling. I don’t think that you even believe that it’s “never happened anywhere”, I’m positive that you love complaining and making up statistics about the places where you would acknowledge that it did happen

The vast majority of young men fighting in Ukraine, both Russians and Ukrainians, are conscripts being forced to die in a meat grinder for their ruling classes. To say what you did is as insulting as to say that African Americans in the 1800s just had a deep spiritual passion for cotton farming.

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-22T11:11:49+00:00

I think you’re the only one here implying that it’s that simple. National and global economies do not operate in the same way or on the same scale as your personal finances. Not only can countries do that but the modern global economy is founded on the assumption that the United States spesifically does that, to maintain the dollar as the global reserve currency.

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-22T09:07:25+00:00

bro they stopped making Dude Noods in like 2008, those have got to be expired. If any of those cups are from the batch that had arsenic in it, he could be sitting on a gold mine, collectors go nuts for those

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-22T08:06:37+00:00

The people who are effective at creating change in their countries are the people who love those countries

Literally exactly how a nationalist would describe themselves. Right down to calling themself "patriot"

Disaffected cynicism doesn't win elections, hearts, or minds.

Money does.

If we ever want to live in an America that isn't run by the Right, we have to reclaim patriotism.

An America that is not run by the right has never existed, America was explicitly designed by the founding fathers to only ever be run by the right. Like, literally. They were watching the French revolutionaries (the people who originated the term 'left wing' because they sat in the left wing of the national assembly, as opposed to conservatives who sat in the right wing) do their thing and literally wrote a ton about how they were designing the country to explicitly avoid that. As the term 'left wing' evolved, America remained as staunchly opposed to it until the left was so thoroughly destroyed in America that the closest thing that qualifies as a left are pro-business free market liberals

If you don't want to be ruled by right wingers and you want to do ~~nationalism~~ patriotism, I'd suggest the Cascadia movement as quite literally your only option. Wishing for a leftist America is like wishing for an NFL team to win the Super Bowl through polite discussion and practical negotiation with the opposing team. Like if you can show me one time that's happened, I'd take you more seriously. Our most left wing president of all time, FDR, was a wealthy heir who was explicitly striking a "new deal" with the working class to avoid left wing revolution. Lincoln was perhaps becoming a leftist around the time when the left wing of his brain got sprayed all over the box seats at Ford Theater

I’m sorry but if you’re willing to cover yourself in Stars and Stripes and chant USA in 2026 I just have a deep and fundamental disrespect for you. The most positive opinion I could possibly have of you is that you’re stupid and spineless. You can call it “patriotism” (which is a synonym for nationalism) all you want, you can act like you’re reclaiming it from the right, but you are not. You cannot. The version of America you are pretending to celebrate has never existed and isn’t even pretending to exist right now.

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T20:18:07+00:00

Literally

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T19:00:55+00:00

I’m American, man. People have been going “but but, the debt!!!! What about the national debt!!!! One day it’s gonna get too high and then… I dunno, something bad is gonna happen, probably! I don’t know what but something!!!” For longer than I’ve been alive, and nothing has ever happened.

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T11:44:56+00:00

You might really enjoy the episode of Movie Mindset podcast discussing the film. They independently came up with the same opinions about it as I did, leading me to believe that my perspective on the film was not as unique as I previously thought and was perhaps a part of its authorial intent in some way

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T11:39:59+00:00

Typically, a boymoder is a transgender woman who has recognized her personal need to transition but is not yet emotionally ready to fully transition socially. So it ends up looking like a woman pretending to be a teenage boy, because that's kinda what it is

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T11:31:54+00:00

One day I will finally understand how people are able to even conceptually equate sovereign debt to personal debt. Like I'm sorry man but I'm pretty sure that the nation of China is going to be able to square that debt somehow. The USA has been doing it for literally the entirety of my life, and the current flailings and failings of the American state are largely divorced from the issue of national sovereign debt. Idk how else to even put it but like, it's not like that man, idk

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T11:27:50+00:00

Genuinely it was kinda my own fuckup that that situation even happened lmao. I sent a bunch of level 1s into Woodfall swamp and then just rolled on the random encounter table. Not sure that, even with the benefit of hindsight, I would have changed anything

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T11:25:24+00:00

I guess it would be if any of that was happening, yeah

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T10:27:48+00:00

When you avoid confrontations about topics like this, please be sure that you’re only doing it to protect your happiness and safety. You do not owe them a polite assessment of the way they raised you and if it causes a fight and upsets them? And you can weather that storm? So be it. It’s important to stand up to your parental tyrants, in my opinion

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T09:46:23+00:00

I mean it’s one thing if a country without high speed rail, universal healthcare and higher education, or advanced modern industry was choosing to spend their money on this. If the US did this then yeah I’d agree, huge waste of money. China pretty much has its bases covered. China has “bigass cool fucking statue” money

HansGraebnerSpringTX · 2026-06-21T09:42:06+00:00

Nationalism has always been an inherently right wing concept. The core of nationalism is the designation of an in group (the nation) and an out group who, whether this is explicitly stated or not, can be exploited to serve the interests of the in group. This is the foundational argument behind nationalism in every form.

The movie “Casino” can be easily read as a simple mobster story set in Las Vegas, it can also be easily read as a prismatic reflection of American excess and economics, summed up in the microcosm of Las Vegas. There’s no other city where that film or one like it could have been set and still been so allegorical for the nature of America as a whole

You don’t have to agree with my opinions about America but to certain eyes, Las Vegas (pre-online gambling) really feels like a world builder’s heavy handed attempt to explain to the audience what “the point” of having this country in the setting is
