Fuck this.
Let's be real bare bones about this.
In Tennessee, 2 million people voted for Trump.
1 million voted for Harris.
The vibe is, "Those 1 million people can't fix their situation so they should be just as fucked as the other 2."
And that's wrong. It's wrong to condemn whole swaths of humanity based on where they live, but even if you're dick enough to say "FAFO" when real humans suffer, you shouldn't be willing to throw your own allies under the bus based on arbitrary lines on the ground.
And I'm a first responder, don't talk to me about compassion fatigue, it's not an excuse not to help someone who needs it.
I once said something about hating tankies and got name-checked into a thread there. I explained that I don't care for authoritarianism of any kind, and one mouthy punk kept trying to rile me up.
Y'all got a reputation for a reason.
(There were others who were chill about it, but people tend to remember loud assholes better than chill people.)
My new headcanon. Holy hell that's genius.
I had to post three or four warnings to my friend group that said, "The following is not a cry for help, I promise I'm fine" before I posted this.
Worth it.
She's screaming, with her head in the leopard's mouth, "But I can be useful!"
Opponents beware, opponents beware.
It annoys me how often people who claim to be so intelligent want someone else to sift through the world and label everything for them.
I immediately thought of an Everlasting Gay. Like the Everlasting Gobstopper.
Awww I read 'bitch brian' and thought he was a bottom! Damn!
Same! I would totally chat up that dude!
It's just like any other system of belief. You can sit around praying for something, or you can cast more effective hexes, such as "hit this guy with my car," or "actually give him poison."
Lets hope all these internet witches don't learn the power of ~~direct action~~ real magic.
I'm taking a Business Management class and every single time I come across a piece of legislation passed as a result of some corporation corruption, or greed, or regulations as a result of an oil spill or something, I google the name + Heritage Foundation.
If I was taking a shot every time this happened, I'd be too shitfaced to drive.
I happen to recall that in this scene, she's speaking nonsense Italian words (she doesn't actually know Italian) but the first time they show it (and the viewer doesn't know she can't speak Italian) they show Speaking in Italy... and later when they're showing that she's saying words, but they're nonsense, it still says 'Speaking in Italy'!
This is not a big deal but it is entirely wrong. Why do I care so much about this?!
(The close caption is wrong in a lot of places on this copy of The IT Crowd, but that's the most ridiculous.)
Edit: Later in the episode they show a speakerphone, on which, an Italian man is speaking. The caption for this? "Voicemail in Italy." What!
The thing that's extra hilarious about this to me is people will see it as a compliment to fascism, and antifascists will see it as the mosh pit of ideas.
