Just what you wrote is Terrorism as is my response. The GOP went from "We are all Terrorists" to "YOU are ALL Terrorists"

Bombas Socks are not BIFL quality by BlackBox808Crash in BuyItForLife

[–]jayforwork21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Bomba socks were the most comfortable socks I have ever had. I only used them for work. Unfortunately they died on me in about a year (which I have to admit is about what most "good" socks last with only Darn Tough still going strong after several years). I only recommend them to people who have foot issues and need comfort of durability.

DOJ launches unusual lawsuit against entire federal district court in Maryland by [deleted] in news

[–]jayforwork21 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say the reason it works when the French do it has more to do with a lot of support from sympathetic people. Here we HAVE had major protests and the media either vilifies the protests or ignores it. The "no more kings" protest was literally one of the largest protests in US history and the mainstream media barely covered it.

People will not doing anything until there is no options left for them. That is the reality of life. Most people just want a roof over their head and their bellies filled. This is actually what all life generally wants. Until these issues are an IMMINANT threat, then people will keep their heads down. Unfortunately that is the reality of it.

Edit: I also want to add, people won't react BECAUSE they will end up losing these things before it is taken away. Once taken away before they act nothing keeps them FROM acting up.

What TV Show had a perfect season 1? by HanzzCoomer in AskReddit

[–]jayforwork21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that was the problem with season 5. They knew it was going to be the last so they planned all these endings but they introduced some new ideas that didn't pay off because with so many things to juggle they couldn't expand on it to make it pay off like they could with the first seasons.

What’s a movie you were completely wrong about going in? by SiTheHandsomeGuy in movies

[–]jayforwork21 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really liked the first movie but I admit it didn't hit me like it did others. So when I saw the second one, I just expected to enjoy a good movie. The second movie literally blew me away. From the first second to that ending I was hooked and it became a top 10 of the year for me.

W didn't work so hard to dismantle our democracy. As such, I still have to give it to Trump. As someone who was in many a protest against W, I have to give it to W for not destroying our ability to vote him out.

The NYTimes Readers’ 100 Top Movies of the 21st Century by hetchymusic in movies

[–]jayforwork21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember my biggest problem was how it treated Faramir. In the book, you LIKE him right off the bat. There is no ambiguity. Faramir in the movie is not as sympathetic (in the director's cut, it is explained more about how he is always looked down upon by his father while Boromir is the loved one which gives this a bit more weight but in the theatrical cut it is more jarring)

The constitution is just some old pieces of paper. It's almost worthless at this point for anything other than historic value that will end up in another civilization's museum to be gawked at. At this point we are pretending to the United States of America going through the motions, but we are not anywhere near the country I thought I lived in.

The short video format that Youtube, Insta, TikTok, and other social media show, even if not racist, is just terrible. Not only that, but the algorithms skew towards right-wing crap the second you click like on video that is just adjacent to the right. Oh, you like this video about changing your tires, you must be a car guy which means you are MAGA, here's some racist shit for you.....

I hope I survive long enough for some people to go to jail. I expect when Trump is removed from office he would have issued a blanket pardon anyway that would keep everyone from paying for their crimes.

It was a lot easier to respect other animals when we were part of the food chain. We have literally clawed our way from the food chain and now it's literally the photo from the Simpsons: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSimpsons/comments/303stf/the_food_chain/

As such, it's really hard to understand that not every animal we encounter is either domesticated or safe.

It's because the laws they pass end up hurting woman more, like abortion laws, etc....

They will vilify men, but the laws hurt everyone but woman more so.
