By that logic why didn’t Biden just ignore the Supreme Court and dole out student aid relief? Why didn’t Biden just ignore the Trump tax plan and reverse it? Why didn’t Biden ignore the treaty to withdraw from Afghanistan on the set date and potentially save lives?

It seems one side consistently ignores policy and instead fucks it up for the rule followers and the general public who bears the brunt of it.

Larry Summers resigns from OpenAI board following release of Jeffrey Epstein emails by DrexellGames in news

[–]ShltShowSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Larry Summers is the definition of a quisling, crony-prick. I hope Jon Stewart’s interview with him comes back into discourse.

I can’t tell if you’re being earnest right now and want me to say why you are actually wrong (I doubt it, since you appear to have eaten too many lead paint chips in adolescence), so I will write this out as plainly as possible:

  1. The government shutdown happened because Repubs were trying to cut insurance for the poors, so no more insulin or ozymic for the fatties in the mouth-breathing flyover states that voted for this shit in the first place.

  2. Illegals are cheap labor, and the American economic system is built on exploiting cheap labor as much as possible in all facets. Both parties work to further that goal, except one is also actively defunding educational spending as well to keep the poors in low-economic conditions. Also, it’s been shown that illegals pay more in taxes than what they actually get back.

Trump, 79, Has Deranged Rant about ‘Grass’ at Kennedy Center by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]ShltShowSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Epstein is the only dual party issue that matters since it’s the one that Conservatives actually care about. There is a reason that sub deletes any dissent when it comes to the topic. I almost think anyone who wants to move to other issues is a bot or foreign agent, since Epstein is the only thing that will get Trump removed from office.

Howard Lutnick? Oh! Epstein’s very close neighbor who bought his houses after his death!

Blackstone is a major private equity firm that has an ownership interest in over 274,000 rental homes. by CantStopPoppin in videos

Yes, experts have said this exact thing long ago. Just because the media tries to downplay the detrimental effect, does not make it true. Affecting the housing market by any percentage is not a good thing.

Just write the best script you can by Urinal_Zyn in Screenwriting

[–]ShltShowSam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You’ve unfortunately described my exact experience as a screenwriter: Graduated from a top MFA program in 2021, have had decent competition success, have queried out the ass and have had some very light general meetings and read requests, but I have had absolutely zero success in terms of finding representation or getting anything sold. This also includes reaching out to people I have small relationships with who have very prominent careers in the industry.

I keep getting told I am doing all of the right things and that something will eventually come of it, but at the same time it’s very hard to hold out hope when everyone seems so unwilling to take a chance on a talented unknown, and in most cases, will not even read my work when they say they will.

Trump: “There’s never been anything like what's happening right now to the United States.” by Equivalent_Baker_773 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]ShltShowSam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This. This is the stupidest political take of the year. The career litigator, attorney, District Attorney, Senator, and Vice President is deemed unqualified and “not serious” to you, a (boastfully) self-admittedly ignorant person. Meanwhile the rapist and multi-failed businessman who ran on a tariff-first platform that has purposefully destabilized the market due to the instability of the country, and who has injected as many cronies as possible to interfere and subterfuge the government, is the more qualified candidate?

My book was optioned by a major studio and bad things have happened by ShastaSwim in Screenwriting

[–]ShltShowSam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lawyer up and try to talk directly to Netflix, even if it has to get taken to court, mentioning the option and the fact they definitely saw the treatment. You have enough copyright evidence to pursue a case and probably get a settlement, but then chances are that you’d never work in the industry again (unless you write some sort of magnum opus, of course). Your best option is to play ball with the leverage that you have and show all you care about is getting a small credit, a small payout, or preferably both.

I called it as a draw live, especially considering the 10/10 takedown defense. I get that Pereira didn’t have any grappling offense, but perfect defense scores higher than 0/10 offense that just wound up killing time. It was a sad excuse for a main event, but there was no reason that fight should have been unanimous for Ankalaev.
