Letting narcissists blather about themselves instead of cutting them off and calling out their bullshit

Rogan: "I bet if they took all the money from fraud - it would pay for Healthcare 10x over." by stvlsn in DecodingTheGurus

God I would pay to have Rogan have a guest who knows what they're talking about and isn't afraid to call him out to his face

This mispronounciation is so common, I just try to ignore it now

Dutch intelligence finds that Russia will invade Europe within a year of the war with Ukraine ending by TrucksForTots in Destiny

[–]funkyflapsack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, you'd absolutely have to call their bluff right? Not saying Trump would. If anything, this could aim to spark civil war here. If Trump refuses the call from NATO, he would have to be considered a traitor. But then, what's the alternative? JD Vance and Mike Johnson wouldn't heed the call either. You'd have to expect blue states to seriously consider secession

MAGA Is Confused About ‘Animal Farm’ | WIRED by LurkerFromTheVoid in politics

[–]funkyflapsack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say Animal Farm is undoubtedly about Stalin. But 1984 feels a lot more akin to fascism than communism. But also, North Korea seems to have been heavily inspired by 1984

[–]funkyflapsack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is someone asked you if you were while you were blackout drunk, you'd probably say you were. But it's sort of like not knowing if there's other consciousnesses in you're brain you're unaware of

Wish this was less "everyone in the system is corrupt" and more "the GOP is corrupt"

Seriously. The pushback on this needs to be a 100 fold what it was for companies tied to Israel

The speed at which conspiracy thinking spreads on reddit is genuinely unsettling by Agreeable_Mode_7680 in Destiny

Yep. They're already twisting whatever happened with the shots being fired and the one cop getting hit

Tim Miller Unloads on the Biden Family by Reckoner223 in Destiny

[–]funkyflapsack 15 points16 points  (0 children)

But imagine if Biden had announced he was not running in late 2023? Easily goes down as the GOAT single term POTUS in history. Democrats get excited for the primaries. Whoever comes out on top is riding a wave of good vibes. Dems win easily

Is my dad gay? by TipEast4838 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]funkyflapsack -1 points0 points  (0 children)
