The “both sides” crew somehow thinks the side that supports unions and civil rights and voting rights and due process and raising the minimum wage and not constantly starting wars is equal to the side that wants the opposite of all of that, and the tankies here think liberals are much worse, because tankies are just closet fascists that think yellow looks better on a red background than black and white.

Get ready for Russia-style meat-wave attacks. We’ll just throw the poor at them until they run out of ammo! It’s genius!

I like Slayer and this is still hilarious.

You got it all wrong. The US doesn’t want to do this, Israel wants to do this and have bought enough US politicians to pull it off. The US created a monster and it’s in control now. The US also needs a base in the middle east and wants access to Israel’s intelligence apparatus. Any time the US tries to flex, Bibi just threatens to make friends with Russia instead, and if the president is a giant pussy like Biden or especially Trump, they fold rather than call the bluff.

Leaf => leaves. Staff => staves. Wolf => wolves. Wharf => wharves. Scarf => scarves. Dwarfs is a verb form of dwarf, dwarves is the plural, I will die on this hill.

Yes, but this isn’t a custom one. They’ve carried this shirt for over a decade

I had this on a T-shirt like 14 years ago.

Not underrated, that movie was huge and rated highly. It’s just old.

The Chumscrubber.

Lots of Americans cross their sevens. Not the majority, but I see it all the time.

You’ve been eating protein and building muscle and your weight goes up? That’s literally what you’re trying to do. You don’t eat a bunch of protein and lift weights to lose weight. That’s what you do to build muscle. Drinking lots of water will also make you heavier, because it turns out water is not weightless. The number on the scale is much less important than body fat percentage.

Then he made it all back on a Pokemon card, right?

He’s not even making most of those responses to Trump. His social media manager is doing it. He’s still just another Howard Schultz. “I like the idea of equality as long as rich people don’t have to reduce the rate at which they become richer.”

There’s already a war against them by their own government that’s killed over 30,000 Iranians since late December. Civilians are being slaughtered either way, but this way means that maybe the Ayatollahs won’t be in power at the end.

He did, as much as he could once he learned shit was going down, but it turns out Iran’s intelligence, air defense and operational security all suck so he died in his bunker. He’s killed almost as many Iranians in a couple months of protests as Netanyahu has killed Palestinians since the Oct 7 attacks. Bibi is absolute trash, but to pretend like Khamenei was better in any way is insane. They’re both completely evil cowards.

All Latin languages have mass nouns and most others do, too. Who refers to water as a plural? Air? What they lack is pattern recognition. “Everywhere I see this word, it’s singular, but I don’t notice things no matter how often I see them so I’m putting an s on the end "

The issue here is more likely having no idea what RAM stands for and thus not knowing that it’s a mass noun in the first place.

David Brooks has been writing opinion pieces for them for ages, and he’s the biggest apologist for fascists I’m aware of. He pretends so hard that he’s a pragmatic centrist, but his real message is always just that we should all just behave while the rich rob us blind, which they are morally correct to do.

Remember how there’s also a giant second city underground that’s barely scraping by, and the people running the utopian city are trying to eradicate them? Yeah, not a very bright take on the movie.

Anything cheaper for the consumer means less profit, which means less money for bribes, which means conservative governments are against it

Pretty clearly taking about Maxwell, but MAGAts obviously know the shoe fits the cheeto
