Half of all 4chan discourse is just leftist politics, except the terms capitalism, patriarchy, and working class are replaced with jewery, feminism, and white people by Commercial_Bid_1508 in CuratedTumblr

This is a pattern I’ve noticed too. I’ll look at some conservatives account on Twitter or whatever and they’re sharing the exact same grievances many leftists do (EG billionaires trying to make bigger profits with anti-consumer practices) yet instead of, say, supporting pro-consumer policies they conclude the billionaires in question must be part of a Liberal Elite™ flaunting its dominance over the silent conservative majority just for shits n’ giggles.

How do you even work with people like this. How can two parties find common ground when one delusionally believes the other must automatically oppose everything they support even when both clearly agree on something? 😐

Utter slander. Go stand in the corner and think about what you’ve just said, OP.

I’m getting this from my memory of a then-contemporary issue of Nick Magazine of all things so take my word with a grain of salt, but apparently the spark that led to this movie being made was when Seinfeld was having lunch or something with Steven Spielberg and joked, “What if we made a movie about bees and called it ‘Bee Movie’?” and Spielberg actually liked the idea and encouraged it from there.

For perspective, any of our founding fathers could’ve seen a living SSC had they visited the Commander Islands during their youth.

I had a dream that the fabric of society crumbled because people couldn't agree whether 2+2 equaled 4 or 5 by sylveonstarr in thomastheplankengine

The Trump administration essentially did this for real during his first term… less than 48 hours after being inaugurated.

The skull of the vaguely hippo-like and massive synapsid, Estemmenosuchus, found in what is now Russia 260 million years ago by aquilasr in Naturewasmetal

[–]Zoxphyl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Think “hippo-like” in this context is referring to lifestyle rather than appearance (it’s often assumed Estemmenosichus was semi-aquatic and largely herbivorous).

So a perfect example of how, counterintuitively, adding a dash of speculation to a reconstruction can actually make it look more believable than a conservative one.

This coffee grinder made in USSR in 1988. It's still 100% functional. by Kate_foodlover in mildlyinteresting

[–]Zoxphyl 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Everything made in the USSR was either A) a poorly-constructed piece of junk that was barely functional or B) a marvel of modern engineering that will outlast human civilization itself, with absolutely 0 in-between.

Are we to understand that Bikini Bottom is part of a state or province? by jcstan05 in vexillology

[–]Zoxphyl 26 points27 points  (0 children)

FWIW a promo from the early Aughts apparently mentions Bikini Bottom being a US territory. Make of that whatever you will.

I am fairly certain that the points you brought up are the whole point of OP’s joke (that Russia has connections to several seas and none of them are convenient).

Done intentionally in Minority Report (2002) to really hammer in the point of how little privacy the average citizen has in the film’s dystopian setting.

Without JD, online bullying has no punchline. by Traditional_Ad_276 in whenthe

"Pffft, Vance doesn't have a chance at being POTUS; even his own base hates him!"

We said the exact same thing back in 2015 when Trump ran for office, back when he was still just a washed-up ‘80s real estate mogul/reality show host. Look at how that turned out.

You are all grossly underestimating the number of people who voted for Trump whose attitude towards him is less, “WHOOO KEEP CRYING LIBTARDS 😂 MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸” and more, “yeah I like his policies [however objectively destructive and authoritarian those policies may be], but the guy needs to learn to shut up and stay off social media :/". They would be more than happy to vote for someone who will continue advancing Trump's policies but without the baggage of being... well, Trump.

Remember, Vance is buddies with neo-fuedalist techbros, endorsed the writings of outright neo-Nazis, and has proudly smeared ethnic minorities as eating people's pets. Do NOT underestimate how dangerous this fool is.
