I’m someone’s favorite.
Well, I could have gone into detail about their scientific and industrial value, but those aren’t what massively inflates their perceived importance and price.
Cool, I can burn it to ash with the tools in my garage.
Diamonds are shiny/glittery and hard, that’s about it.
I always confront those people with “and what do you think would happen to YOU in such a place? History doesn’t think it will be good” but then they double down or make some mental gymnastic leap to why it’s okay.
Surely the leopards won’t eat THEIR face.
If all the joint chiefs and secretaries of [thing] said “we will be marching in Ottowa in 3 days” it really doesn’t matter if the president said it. Because even if he hasn’t said it in a press conference to the world, he most certainly agrees with the people who DO think it’s a slam dunk.
I’m sure anything you said or linked would have been met with “that’s western propaganda” like they’re not shaking hands with MAGAts screeching fake news at things they don’t like.
All I’ve seen in response is “hurr wouldn’t happen without US military industrial complex”
I’ve been missing that one.
Which just tells me you’re right, no response to this so they default back to old rhetoric.
So my nephew was talking mad shit the other day about gymnastics and how it’s “not a sport” and it’s “for weak girls”.
I asked him “If it’s so easy, why don’t you go do a couple flips and prove how easy it is?”
His sister answered saying “Last time he tried that he broke his foot!” and started laughing.
My nephew immediately glared at us and started crying.
Russia acts like my 10 year old nephew.
You would need a shovel just to find the bar.
My dad thinks climate change is a scam and “someone [i]s making a lot of money from it”
My dad also laments that the local lake doesn’t freeze over like it did when he was a teenager, DRIVING on top of it with his brothers.
Totally unrelated to climate change though. Cause that’s totes fake.
Also storms are more violent and frequent, winters are basically spring 2.0 now and the local river has flooded way past historic levels and could threaten the downtown area of their city within the decade.
But all that is SOOOOOOO unrelated.
Anyway, how’s your sex life?
I’d love for the US to go completely hands-off the middle east if only just to stop comments like this up that seem to think one country can somehow be responsible for tons of other countries meddling in the same area.
I mean, I want that so people will stop being ripped apart by us-made explosives, tax money stops being wasted, and focus more on improving things for the people within it’s own borders and making it more inclusive to outsiders, but stopping comments like that is a nice little bonus.
What percentage of their DNA is from Homo Neanderthalensis?
At this point, I’m almost positive that a republican US president could sign a treaty with north Korea, China, Russia, and Fucking Thanos, and everyone launches nukes, and world leaders and media outlets alike (that survive the ensuing shit show) would STILL beat around the bush and ask “What’s all this, then?” like things aren’t glaringly obvious.
“Well we can’t report reality, or we might get accused of bias…” is getting old.
But they inconvenienced people! Mutilation is a MUST!
Spoken like someone who doesn’t even know how a household battery works and has absolutely no idea how they’re different than this who just wanted to be contrary.
Not OP, and I could be completely wrong on how these specific things work, but it seems to me like they work as a rudimentary voltaic pile:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaic_pile
Take a look at the diagram, and imagine a metal alloy or even little bits of metal close to each other, and imagine the electrolyte is seawater.
It’s a super basic accidental nature battery.
Just wait until you hear about basic accidental nature nuclear reactors… And no, I’m not joking.
SCIENCE, BITCH!
Interesting you went straight to “US” even though the only other country mentioned anywhere here is Italy…
Shit happens everywhere Bro.
Well said.
The only point I mildly disagree with is that all jokes should be on the same level, as some things are just… Not jokes. They simply masquerade as jokes because the person telling you their views doesn’t want the potential backlash if you disagree with them.
Chapelle’s stuff strikes me as more of that.
He’s just telling us how he feels and tries to layer it with “jokes” so he can act like he’s somehow in the right and we’re the ones who just “can’t take a joke”.
That’s pretty case dependent though, and someone who knows Chapelle better than I, or even someone with a different upbringing clearly can think differently.
There’s just so much that you could actually have a comedy routine about that’s not divisive.
You said it better than I could.
Although I’d be lying if I said I think KG is 100% joking.
If he’s anything like I want him to be (people never are) he’s not even 50% joking.
But either way, it’s a lot of BS for an off handed comment
Oh, there’s plenty of inconsistency, and I’m definitely biased, no doubt about it.
(rant ahead, feel free to skip)
Of course, I agree with KG, and it’s not really a “joke” for me.
So any answer I give you will be pretty heavily skewed.
That said, I do kind of think the DC thing was a bit overblown, but I also think he turned into a piece of shit who thinks he’s allowed to punch down on others, but you aren’t allowed to punch down on any group he’s part of. “can dish it, can’t take it” crowd.
But especially given how successful his career has been (and I fully recognize his struggle in getting started), and continued to be, his complaints fall on deaf ears.
But yeah, I don’t claim to be consistent with how I judge people’s “in the moment” things, and since the people I oppose have no concept of “consistency” (as well as them actively trying to make people like me and those I love cease to exist) I don’t really see a problem with that.
There’s no point in fighting fair when you’re facing oblivion.
And krashmo this isn’t directed at you, if anyone wants to try and tell me that “that’s not what they want”, I grew up in a pretty republican heavy area, that also attracted a lot of progressive young families, so I’ve seen more violence directed at other than I care to recount. It’s not a “maybe eventually” scenario in my head. It’s “now”.
Sorry this turned into a bit of a rant.
Yes, why don’t these poor farmers who have nowhere else to go simply BUY large plots of land?
Let them eat cake.
