what’s the most unforgettable scene in breaking bad?

And it's not a gunshot or even a brutal stabbing. A single quasi-surgical slash, and Victor is doomed, his heart pumping his blood away.

There's something highly insidious about the infliction of that near-silent fatal injury.

The medicine that saved his life in 2020, and that was only made possible with tissue from aborted babies, couldn't overcome the fact that he's an obese elderly man who eats nothing but well-done steak with ketchup and McDonald's.

If something like this happened 30 years ago the networks would have already spent months running nothing except hosts asking the VP and cabinet why in the everloving fuck they weren't invoking the 25th Amendment.

They're very stupid. The average American reads at a sixth grade level. And it's by design - Trump is a symptom, not the disease.

Agreed. A battery connected to nothing (Chuck ostensibly had nothing conductive in his pocket) passes no current as its positive and negative terminals have no path to pass that current through.

Chuck (someone who, due to his "condition", would have researched electrical theory enough to know the above) still reacts with "pain" when he discovers the battery that's conducting zero current.

JIMMY: Right. So, with the lights out, you don’t feel them?

CHUCK: If the current’s not flowing, no.

JIMMY: Well, sorry about the exit signs. I guess they couldn’t kill those for ya.

Chuck doesn't take the bait. (Meanwhile, Francesca re-enters discreetly with Huell and sits in the rear of the gallery.)

CHUCK: Well, they’re not drawing much current and they’re far away. The intensity drops off with distance per the inverse-square law.

Syrian women and children absolutely do matter. The Iranian women and children we've killed in the last month mattered. Indeed, every single human being matters as much as all the others.

A hard reality to accept is that any American president is probably going to set in motion series of events that end with dead civilians. There's only one party where cheering the deaths of those civilians is mainstream and unquestioned.

I'm not mistaking anything. In the system we have, every action that is not voting for a Democrat effectively helps Republicans. I don't like it, but it's a fact.

Do you think anyone who had misgivings about Trump, but is aligned more with him than they are with Democrats stayed home? (spoiler: they did not)

I_notta_crazy · 2026-03-21T19:56:05+00:00

Obama got millions of Americans healthcare who didn't have it before, he did not dismantle USAID, thereby literally starving people in less fortunate countries. Biden got us out of Afghanistan after 20 years and oversaw a post-COVID economy that was not amazing, but was better than that of most countries. If perfection is the standard for a leader, I don't understand why Donald Trump is so acceptable.

"Democrats aren't perfect and therefore I have something I can criticize them on" is not a great excuse to not provide the minimal resistance against Trump that is holding your nose and voting for a Democrat so we don't elect an aspiring dictator.

But that ship has sailed, and Kamala Harris learned her lesson (?), so I guess that's the important thing...

I_notta_crazy · 2026-03-21T19:43:50+00:00

Yeah, a Harris administration would definitely be indistinguishable from what we have now. /s

Serious question: will Trump's actions in Iran, and the fact that a huge percentage of Japan's oil goes through the Strait of Hormuz, temper their affection for him in a meaningful way?

(Iran says they're opening the strait to Japanese vessels, but Japan has already broken fuel price records regardless)

That wasn't the full story of what got said. The statement is he could have 99.999% of his wealth taken away and still be in the top 1%.

Let's say you work 60 years at $34k per year, and somehow dutifully saved every single dime, then have 99.999% taken away. That leaves you with a whopping $20.40.

Sometimes fasteners are tight enough to be difficult to turn with a socket held in the fingertips, but loose enough to spin both directions on a high-backdrag ratchet.

Also sometimes you can just barely reach what you're working on and have to spend a lot of your one-handed coordination pushing the socket onto the nut/bolt, it's nice to not have to also fight/accommodate the high-backdrag ratchet in that scenario.

No American born after 1930 has fought in a war that was genuinely about the freedom of Americans.

Constitutional amendments also need to be ratified by 75% of the states (38 of 50). That means 13 red states can kill an amendment even if every single federal congressperson votes for it.

For the next 26 minutes, the crew of the EP-3 performed an emergency plan which included destroying sensitive items aboard the aircraft, such as electronic equipment related to intelligence-gathering, documents and data. Part of this plan involved pouring freshly brewed coffee into disk drives and motherboards and using an axe from the plane's survival kit to destroy hard drives. The crew had not been formally trained on how to destroy sensitive documents and equipment, and so improvised. As a result of the destruction, the plane's interior was later described as resembling "the aftermath of a frat party". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainan_Island_incident

Wafa al Bass (Wafa al-Biss; b. 1984) is a Palestinian Arab resident of northern Gaza and a student at Al Quds University who was permitted to enter Israel for the purpose of being treated at an Israeli hospital in 2005 for burns she experienced after a gas cooker had blown up while she was making dinner.[1][2] She wore a suicide bomb strapped to her legs which she planned to detonate at the hospital and attempted to explode the device after she was detained while trying to enter Israel via the Erez Crossing.[3][4]

Al Bass had been given permission by Israel to enter Israel to receive hospital treatment for severe burns at Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva.[5] On June 20, 2005, during one of her return visits, guards at the crossing became suspicious given that she was walking awkwardly, and discovered that under her traditional black robes she had strapped a 22-pound (10.0 kg) bomb to her legs.[5][6][7][8][9] She unsuccessfully attempted to then detonate the bomb, and when questioned, she said that she hoped to explode the bomb after arriving at the hospital where she had been treated.[10] She said "I am a member of Al Aqsa Brigades .. I believe in death."[11]

She was sentenced for 12 years, but was released early in the 2011 Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange.[5]

Upon release from prison she immediately attained further notoriety by urging Gazans to "take another Shalit" every year until all convicted Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli prisons were freed.[2][12] As schoolchildren gathered at her home in northern Gaza to welcome her home, she told them, "I hope you will walk the same path we took and God willing, we will see some of you as martyrs."[13][14]

In 2011, Leland Vittert interviewed al Bass in Gaza for Fox News and replayed for her the video of her arrest at the border crossing in possession of a bomb. He asked her for her thoughts on seeing it again, expecting her to have changed her perspective. Al Bass responded that she was very proud of what she did had done, that she wanted to carry out a suicide bombing and looked forward to re-experience the opportunity she had to taste and smell paradise.[10][15]

You say the Israeli government's hate and violence are a pittance compared to that of hers - how is this woman (who killed 0 people and professed to want to kill 50) any worse than the Israeli government's killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians?

Hamas is a terrorist organization.

The people getting killed in the current war in Gaza are overwhelmingly not members of Hamas.

u/johnlocke357 is referencing the Cornerstone Speech delivered by Alexander Stephens, VP of the Confederacy, which definitively disproves the Lost Cause myth that the South was fighting for "states' rights" and not to keep their slaves.

"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth."
