Gets bailed out

Votes for Trump two more times

Loses business because of Tariff backlash

Who could have seen this coming?

and that’s not even getting into lynching picnics for the whole family, or community, cannibalism, using hair and other body parts of slaves to make medical devices, furniture, or decoration, and who can forget sexual slavery, raping slaves and selling the resulting children into slavery, many first hand accounts from slaves talk about constant sexual abuse. so it’s not ALL just torture and mutilation of living people, or dehumanizing them in every way imaginable.

and one of the big fat myths of slavery, the docile happy slave. Never happened, slaves were very frequently rebelling, trying to organize to over throw their masters, and creating a whole systems of escape. There was no happiness in slavery, it a daily power struggle to suppress slave revolts and uprisings, and keep slaves in a constant state of fear and terror.

I guess it’s nice to have proof beyond their documented actions, but this all seems superfluous next to the established fact of their actions.

They haven’t felt duped enough.

The oddest part to me is knowing it was just a photo op, and they were like “get a picture of this real quick, it’ll really fool 'em!”

Yes. And it’s still vital people like him speak up. The narrative that those who can see reality must actually be antisemities is working on a lot of people.

the high powered magnet is always on. it’s never safe to put metal near and MRI.

not at all practical. a big ol buzzer would have prevented this maybe, but really it’s the relaxed culture around the MRI that let it happen. people need to be told either you don’t go past the big heavy door with the NO METALS sign, or you get all the metal off you now, or both.

You gotta make them work hard to kill you.

Well, man, that’s because it is clearly presenting people with higher education and very white in appearance and culture as the people who should be breeding, and people with worse education and cultural identification and behavior that’s more common with not so white people in the US as those that are doing too much breeding. In reality education level has more to do with your parents zipcode when you were born rather than your DNA, and cultural behavior isn’t any part of human DNA or a thing you breed for. Sorry about all your feelings, you seem to have missed that I was defending the film for being a comedy and that these opening bits are jokes not a serious attempt at understanding or addressing problems.

The movie is a comedy, not a serious attempt to diagnose the world’s or America’s problems, but the emphasis on ‘‘only stupid people are breeding’’ in the beginning of the film is one of the causes of the dystopia, that is eugenics, which is a disproven racist part of academia that had it’s part in the nazi movement. So it’s a dangerous idea to promote, but that’s not what the comedy is about. It’s just a gag.

It’s not being serious. I understand intelligence isn’t a breeding stat, and smart people having kids isn’t going to produce a smart society, if it would only talk about reduced education and cultural trends as the cause of mass idiocy, but that’s really not what the film is about. It’s not actually advocating for eugenics.

FAR better! Like, not even ironically better, all the way better.

better be VERY coded language that a jury would agree is innocent in nature and intent.

Someone go resurrect Wilfurd Brimly! I don’t have enough Worther’s original candies to do the ritual!

Jesus said very specifically to feed, clothe, and house people in need, and that even letting the poor live on your property and eat your food isn’t enough to keep you out of hell if you don’t actually keep them safe and fed enough. He REALLY insisted, he talked about prisoners rights repeatedly. I’ve never heard of a single church trying to improve prisoners lives. Not one. Someone did the math and discovered that if every building used for religious worship sponsored two people. Housed two homeless people, there would be no homelessness. That’s it. Two people. Now assuming just Christian churches would make those numbers harder, let’s go ahead and double that number even though that’s impossible because the majority of places of worship are Christian in the US by a lot more than 50%, but let’s just pretend it’s 4 people a Christian church. That’s VERY LITTLE EFFORT that would end all homelessness in America.

Try and build a halfway house anywhere in the US and what happens? Thousands of people suddenly are motivated to show up to town hall meetings and sign petitions!

Don’t use the buzzwords Republicans have spent decades poisoning.

“Your Name”, anime film about a high school age boy and girl that swap bodies in their sleep, they don’t know anything about eachother and have to figure out how to not ruin eachothers lives and relationships, it’s very bueatiful, and you’ll cry for sure.

OK, so, I live in farm country and there’s some problems with what your saying. 1. It’s actually good pay. In fact some farmers have tried raising the pay to attract more workers, it rarely works. Farms are in the middle of nowhere. There’s no city. MAYBE there’s a post office and a store that sells exclusively Croation gass station fare. MAYBE. It’s temporary work. You get a few months pay. So. Remote, physically demanding, and temporary. That’s what makes it a ‘‘no thanks’’ job for every American. We live hand to mouth, we live in a stack of cards that requires constant payments. That’s not a problem in Latin America for the most part, they live hand to mouth but they can save up money, they are maxed out on payments and debt, they just throw extra money in a jar and only live of what they really really need. So working a few months in the US, then Canada, then Mexico, it’s OK. That’s why they’re called seasonal farm workers. When you close to boarders you trap them out of their job and create insane problems. I don’t know why Americans can’t figure out how the food gets to the Walmart, but they have been failing up grasp this for a long ass time.

Yes. Correct. But talk to a boy in Jr. High. They aren’t as smart about this as you might hope.
