it’s like having 10 walmarts in one town. they are selling their investors infinite growth by showing a huge uptick in users through unavoidable systems being piled on. like how retail used to sell their investors on square footage going up every year by X amount. it gooses the stock and it doesn’t matter than your losing money or destroying your business doing it, because the stocks going up RIGHT NOW is the only goal.

Right? Never in my life.

booo… pick a psychosis and stick with it

Really wish the UN had some kind of method to stop counties from clearly and openly committing genocide

Farmers:

Loses business because of Tariff backlash

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!
