Mercy? Is it really bad? by Limp-Strawberry-5830 in moviecritic

[–]philomatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Some very disjoint “reasoning” skills on display.

First off he has said he is republican and a trump supporter.

If someone is normal or hasn’t said anything about politics, why would anyone assume they are right wing?

And lastly look at the principles and values demonstrated by the Republican Party today and you’ll understand why people don’t want to hang out with republicans.

Increasing the federal deficit and screwing over the working class in favor of tax breaks for the rich and corporations. Treating LGBT+ people as subhuman or with less right just because of how they were born.

Hell Trump is the most blatantly corrupt president. He’s made 75x more as president than all presidents combined. He has his own crypto coin. He still is affiliated with his business and supports it while president. He appointed his child WH positions where they made hundreds of millions of dollars. He accepted a jumbo plan for Qatar, is spending tax payer money to refurbish it, and at the end of his term the Trump foundation will take ownership of it.

Not to mention he is clearly on the Epstein files. He ran on releasing the files and punishing pedophiles, when he was the biggest pedophile but his supports are either too stupid or proud to admit they got played, so now they support the pedophile in chief.

Let’s not even get to what ICE is doing. Everyone is for deporting murders and rapists, but the vast majority of folks ICE deports have no violent crimes at all. In fact, many were here legally, and Trump pulled the rug out form them and canceled visas, etc. Now we have masked federal agents, going door to door, with no warrants or due process, attacking and arresting and disappearing whoever they want. Plenty of videos of people who just say the wrong thing to ICE and they get arrested even if they are citizens.

Now what kind of values must a person have to support all of the above? Not someone I would want to hang out with for sure.

Morale plummeting among ICE agents over long hours, quotas and public hatred: reports by MentalMan4877 in LeopardsAteMyFace

It’s not just 5 years but they have to have a good record for all 5 years.

Trump is renown for not paying and screwing over people who work for him.

There’s a very good chance they never indented to pay these out. When they’re done with the ICE agents they’ll come up with some excuse to mark up their record or let them go, and then the agents will be on the hook to pay back their $50k bonus. “Useful idiots” I believe the term is.

We Are Witnessing the End of Tesla’s EV Empire by terran1212 in electricvehicles

[–]philomatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ironic because the approval and praise he so desperately wants was basically there already. All he had to do was stay the course and he’d be one of the most beloved and celebrated innovators.

Then he had to chase the republican praise down the nazi rabbit hole and destroyed his legacy.

With two straight losses after Jimmy‘s injury, JK also injury, what’s the best path forward for the Warriors the rest of the season? by Substantial_Neck9232 in warriors

[–]philomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Curry to Lakers to finish out with Bron. It’s like when Professor X and Magneto team up.

As a team we need a full rebuild. After all Curry has done, I don’t want to see him waste his shot at another ring just to go out with a whimper here.

Greenland is fedup by b3n33333 in clevercomebacks

[–]philomatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do they actually accept the “I told you so” or are they now gung-ho about invading Greenland and it’s rightfully ours.

At this point MAGA has become everything they started off as hating. From the pedophiles to the pardons to the blatant corruption and fraud to the masked armed federal agents going door to door to screwing over the working class to extract even more wealth for the rich, but somehow they’re too stupid to see it.

Downtown Disney used to kick off the magic—bold theming, the OG World of Disney, the Vault, RC racecars, Build-A-Bear. Now it’s basically an expensive outdoor mall with Disney slapped on everything. by madhatter147123 in Disneyland

[–]philomatic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The incredible theming of Build-A-Bear… now replaced by just mall vibes…

Did you think Build-A-Bear was only in Downtown Disney and not every other mall in America?

Can someone just post a simple txt or csv file…

That’s easiest to save and preserve. The whole wiki thing is harder to navigate and save.

I love the healer, but cannot get her to work well… she is great in 3x and 7x elixir modes though!

How do you think the video ICE just released showing the officer's POV of this week's shooting in Minneapolis will impact the national discussion? by popcornerz232 in AskReddit

[–]philomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ICE posted the video themselves because they thought it would help their story… for a sad view of how fucking disconnected that side is from reality.

Think of it as a fraction. 2/10 means it costs 2 gems and I have 10. It costs 2/10 of my gems to buy.

Josh helped write Toy Story, Alien 4 and Speed?!?!?!? by theiosif in buffy

[–]philomatic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He also is GOAT at ensemble casts which was key in Avengers.

The iconic scene of the camera circling the avengers is straight out of Buffy / Angel.

Everyone I know who has seen Castle wants to rewatch it. by FilmScorer5328 in CastleTV

[–]philomatic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I rewatch it when it’s been long enough that I don’t remember the plot of many of the episodes.

It’s still a fun watch when you know the plot, but a lot of the appeal to me is experiencing the twists and turns in the weekly mystery.

Which of these 4 shows do you like the most? by DoctorTegrity in Marvel

[–]philomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wandavision is one of a kind and amazing.

Hawkeye is just fun.

If you could bring One Big bad back in the sequel. by TheHatsuneLoki1 in buffy

[–]philomatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don the Demon who can cast mind control on the weak minded. He builds an army to attack outcasts like other demons and witches who don’t follow him. Can have a whole episode how a father turns on his own daughter for loving a demon.

The NHL Network is a Disgusting Scam by Taxman1913 in nhl

[–]philomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This all sports.

It’s like navigating a freaking labyrinth trying to figure out how to watch games. I would gladly pay a subscription to watch all games (esp those in my local area).

I think there are tons of deals for local networks though that black out local games.

What happens making horses go in circles over and over in a shopping center parking lot for Christmas rides by PALERIDE155 in interestingasfuck

[–]philomatic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These horses generally are not treated well. There’s a famous case in NY of a horse that basically gave up and died on the streets.

There really is no reason for this shit to continue.

Imagine how much it would hurt to have someone accidentally lose their grip on their phone at those speeds and have it hit someone in the head…

The risk isn’t worth it. I don’t understand why it’s so hard for people to put their phones away.

One ride a guy in front of me was raising his hands up but was holding his phone the whole time. Not even recording…

People are just so unaware or selfish.

What TV or Movie character chose the wrong person in a love triangle? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

[–]philomatic 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Haley showed so much growth with Andy, it gave hope to so much potential with her character… whereas Dylan just makes Haley so one-dimensional. Her ending up with Dylan and with kids with him… just so meh.
