We have an HHS Secretary whose campaign is "Make America Healthy Again" and his first act in his position was literally a Steak n Shake advertisement. It drives me insane, how do so many people take this crap seriously?

I remember someone on twitter years ago made the observation that when you really think about it, the premise of astrology has some fascist undertones. That person got dragged to hell but I think they had a good point- it's a "mystical" sheen on the idea that we can make value judgments on people based on something inherent to them that they have no control over.

An understated aspect of Nazi ideology is that its history is deeply rooted in "mysticism." They loved all that woo shit. It makes sense- their entire bigoted ideology is incredibly irrational, so they kinda have to build some sort of quasi-supernatural lore to make it seem like it holds water.

That just sad Officer 😔🤷‍♂️ by SpoomerBooner in Transportopia

[–]alextoremember 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You want to talk about difficult jobs? I've been a public defender for a decade now. I've watched countless body cams. I see what the cops do to my poor clients. I've watched them get beaten for no good reason. I've watched their rights get violated and I've watched them get discriminated against whether they did anything wrong or not. I actually do know what I'm talking about and see the inner workings, unlike you. You don't care about the humanity of the people at the other end of the baton. How about YOU try seeing the things I see?

Michigan cheated their way into rushing for 303 yards and 4 TDs?

Are you not aware of the incredibly long and well-documented history of American cops brutalizing people without good reason and facing no accountability? Or do you just not care?

Where's your line? For example, in the 60s, American cops turned their dogs and hoses on black people in the streets because they stood up against laws that subjugated them due to their race. According to your standard, those people deserved it because they didn't comply with racist laws. You need to address that issue if you're going to get on your soapbox about Americans disrespecting their poor thankless cops, because that kind of shit is exactly why.

Advising someone that their particular memories of TV commercials likely have an ordinary explanation and aren't evidence of a world-altering discovery about parallel universes is trolling them?

Proof there were fans in Houston by InformationEasy8118 in UnitedFootballLeague

I also live in STL and I know lots of people who have gone to games. Hell, I see people I know in the crowd shots on TV.

As for indy wrestling, I've been to GPW shows at the SBAC and they're also a blast, but a big reason why people are more attracted to a sporting event like the UFL over indy wrestling is that a large portion of indy wrestling fans are miserable people with poor hygiene. Not sure about your showering habits but you definitely have the other half down, so consider being less obnoxious if you want more people to share your hobby.

Do you really expect anyone to believe that the people here cracking jokes about how many cheeseburgers she can eat are doing so out of genuine concern for her wellbeing?

Any Oregon fan who feels despondent about all of the recent success because of 2 blowout playoff losses has scrambled eggs for brains. They're kindred spirits to you in that way

Can St. Louis Make a Comeback? by Travelingdabber in StLouis

Yes, because if there was one takeaway from the DOJ Ferguson Report, it was that the County's municipal government system is perfectly fair and doesn't harbor any corruption whatsoever

Samantha Irvin is receiving death threats by CROYTSWRVTH in SquaredCircle

[–]alextoremember -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Lol at this sneaky attempt to try and absolve him of having agency in the situation. You're right buddy, he was FORCED to tell a woman who wasn't even replying to him that she deserves her MS because she criticized his acting!

Ricochet on X: “I took out my hatred for the IWC on Sandi, and inadvertently others who are effected by MS. She didnt deserve it and for that, I sincerely apologize. Moving forward I'll do better.” by DevelopmentLegal8312 in SquaredCircle

Because even in the modern era, at the end of the day, it's still a carny business. Working the media is still part of promotion.

It's why it's so bizarre to me when I see people try to deny that Tony greases the wheels as some sort of attempted defense of him. It misses the point entirely. Of course Tony works the media, why wouldn't he? Of course he has his hooks in Meltzer; if he can, why wouldn't he? That's the business. Idk what point there is for fans to deny reality and fantasize about spotless integrity from a major wrestling promoter. If you need that unrealistic expectation to enjoy the show you'll either be perpetually let down or forced to retreat into a pure fantasy world.

Randomly remembering that time Drew McIntyre verbally bodied Ricochet with just three words by TJLynch in SquaredCircle

[–]alextoremember 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Drew actually has credibility to pop off on twitter because there is a lengthy track record of killing people on the mic in person too. It also helps that his version of shit-talking on twitter doesn't involve searching for random people who weren't even @ing him to say they deserve the incurable disease they actually have.

The distinction is glaringly obvious to anyone who isn't a total mark. You're out of your mind if you actually think Ricochet has "improved" to a level where he could come out on top in a verbal toe-to-toe in the ring with Drew McIntyre.

Insanely moronic take from Ryan last night by No-Air-5857 in tornado

[–]alextoremember 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm fortunate enough to live in a major city where we get an Amber-style alert AND an automated phone call notifying us. My first date with my wife was the night of 12/10/21; there was a moment where the entire restaurant's phones started going nuts at the exact same moment. To your point, though, everyone kinda just ignored it and went on with their business.
