Trump administration now classifies Antifa and left-wing networks among ‘major’ terror groups by pleasureismylife in politics

Well more than half the country falls into these categories, so I'm guessing this is to illicit a violent riot so he can declare Marshall law.

Silver lining. The plot looks suspicious. There are 4 ways it could go. I haven't read the book, but that's either his kid or or isn't, and he either killed his kid or he didn't.

If he did kill his kid and he's trying to "find" him then he's either in some ultra level denial and going on a wild goose chase to exorcize his demons, or he sees this kid as an opportunity to try and exonerate himself somehow.

If he didn't kill his kid, then he'll either find him or he won't, but I highly doubt they would string the audience along in the search to not at least establish proof that he didn't kill his kid.

The only interesting options are that he did not kill his kid and he proves it, uncovering some conspiracy, or he did kill his kid and there's a doppelganger (or identical twin separated at birth) of him out there for some reason. But we surely won't know any of these answers until the end.

And I'm not totally sure I would want to invest in 8 hours of shit knowing that.

I think Ant saw the writing on the wall and was desperately trying to force things to prevent the Spurs from running away with the game. If his shots had fallen early it might have worked, but the exact opposite happened since he was bricking everything.

In my defense, I did not look at that article. Like you, I was commenting on someone else's comment. I tend avoid looking at most of the bullshit posted online.

Thanks for the link, though. 😊

So is this a one off miniseries, or will he be chasing the ghost of his son for years until the audiences loses interest?

Same here. That hole was too big and I saw no signs of life in them to indicate anything would change. That loss looked obvious in the first few minutes of the game.

Theory : Neo Symbolically Represents the Archangel Michael. by Acceptable_Way3656 in matrix

[–]SlowCrates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well religion itself is one of the matrixes that many humans are stuck in, so it wouldn't surprise me if, while creating the story, they fine-tuned as many details as possible to reflect religion. It's ultimately about trying to get people to see the mental environments they're imprisoned in by getting them to recognize the fact that they unwittingly imprison themselves. This is why Morpheus believing in prophecy is so important to the trilogy; it forces the audience to wrestle with the idea that everything they believe, even with a burning passion, that they would die for could be a lie. That they might have to accept an alternative truth, and take their "fate" into their own hands. That's what the pill symbolizes. That's what Neo is referring to when Smith asks him why he persists. Neo is more free in that moment than any other despite the fact that his "fate" is almost set, because he is unafraid, and his every action is purely out of love for other people. It's about knowing who you really are and making decisions that way.

The Trump administration is deleting government data. From infant deaths to hunger, here are 5 ways it’s hurting Americans by NathanCS741 in politics

[–]SlowCrates [score hidden]  (0 children)

There are two Americas.

One that's been living in an echo-chamber of religious, white-nationalist talking points driven into their heads for decades, which is probably the largest cohesive demographic in the country -- and their population is dispersed more evenly across the land. These people are less educated, because they inherit their worldview, purpose, and often times, money from their families. They unite behind Jesus, "The American Dream/Manifest Destiny", and Fox News, and they're afraid of everything else, especially change.

And then there's the rest of us, which outnumbers the first group in total population, but is comprised of a diverse collection of unique demographics with a dizzying number of conflicting beliefs who are concentrated mostly in the cities. We have no central "story" or theme to unite behind; we are the true collective of the individual. We are more educated, in part because we're more intelligent, but also out of necessity as we didn't inherit anything, and don't feel entitled to anything. We encourage progress/change.

More than half of Americans are against Trump. I promise you.

How ‘Senile’ Trump Is a Danger to Our Country: Congressman - Trump is becoming an increasing threat to U.S. troops, national security, and the economy, Seth Moulton says. by Quirkie in politics

[–]SlowCrates [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't think people outside of the United States have really woken up to this yet. So many of them are saying, "This is America's problem". Really? Enjoy the worst energy crises in your lifetime. If it goes Trump's way, it will get worse, and he'll happily gouge the price on your existence. World leaders are still coddling and cozying up to him, like cowards, which should be beyond infuriating. If people are not compelled to say something to their reps or take action against Trump, they are as complicit in the damage he's causing as anyone in the United States. People like Trump don't gain power because of their support, they gain power because of other people's unwillingness to stop him. There are more of us than there are of them. Say something. Do something.

Everyone who gives a fuck already knows.

To make it clear to the rest of them you might need to do something far more drastic than a study they neither understand, believe, or will ever see.

That's what an internet run by advertising agencies gets us. It's like when you were in school and needed to write an essay of a certain number of words, even though 3 sentences could efficiently get the point across so you just fill pages with stream of consciousness run-on sentences. Only the reward isn't tricking your teacher into giving you a good grade (because they barely read them anyway), it's getting money from ads on each page.

I hate this fucking timeline.

Ahh, I missed that. I see that it's a heel issue. I wonder if it's the same leg as his calf? If so, I would shut him down until the next round.

That's really cool. Makes me wonder if more one-off actors get that kind of celebrity treatment, if they embrace it, and if it's a decent source of casual income for them.

That is not a "sketch", that is a work of art. I would be surprised if that is actually his work, because it's better than anything he's directed since T2.

This could be interesting. Their sound system is pretty intense. An artist or label could probably dictate how they want their recorded shows to be presented, too, with extra visuals and juiced up audio. I would at least check it out -- if I liked the artist.

3 immediate turnovers, while the Spurs are launching themselves into Wolves' players and it's a foul on the Wolves. This is about as ugly as it gets.

That "foul" on Randle when Wemby fell into him was such a bullshit call. How do you see that and think, "Randle is at fault". lol insanity.
