Two weeks ago my regional supervisor told our team of photographers that the way she grew up "if you aren't white you aren't American". She then turned to a black photographer and told her "no offense". After a confusing few days that supervisor still has her job but the rest of our team does not.

Crazy how many replies chose to interpret this as a bad attempt at piracy rather than anything else.

I am not abandoning people because weakass candidates say supporting them costs votes.

Fuck that noise.

We've gone from "everything is gambling and Nazis" to "everything is Nazis gambling on gambling and Nazis".

I am so sorry this happened. This is beyond fucked up.

Is his phone an android?

I have and will continue to. What I said is still true. Announcing that your vote is guaranteed is a bad strategy. Even if you intend to vote a certain way no matter what, don't give the game away. Don't tell the party that they could never lose your vote no matter how shit they are.

Tap away, my point absolutely stands. Saying loudly and repeatedly years ahead of time that there's nothing the party could possibly do to lose your vote guarantees you the worst possible candidate.

This is the most honest reply here.

It is, unfortunately, also how you guarantee that Satan will be the nominee. We can demand better. That's supposed to be the whole point. If you tell the powers that be that your vote is guaranteed regardless of what they do, they do whatever benefits themselves.

In like an abstract factual sense, they surely do. Like they could answer it as a trivia question. But clearly there's a dissonance when it comes to applying empathy for some reason.

What's really wild is that the comments seem to think that asking random strangers on the Internet will result in getting an honest answer instead of just fucking around.

The dots in the ocean or in the US are clearly the equivalent of voting for "boatymcboatface" and nothing more. Troll shit.

The vast majority of those are clearly people on the internet just fucking around with the survey. They may not know where it is, but when they put it there, it was to be funny.

There are two problems with this.

1. This administration doesn't give a fuck if what they do is legal, and no one has stopped them so far

2. If we pretend something can't happen, we're unprepared to fight it when it does

I love the fight with Ocelot. It isn't the most mechanically interesting, but his enthusiasm is infectious. It's just fun as hell.

Okay, cool. You do you, homie.

The rest of us will be over here enjoying the best characters and best world building in the Monsterverse. I'm here for Kurt Russell.

"maintain decorum"

oh my fucking god.

who gives a fuck, "unforced errors", he and his cabinet hate y'all, do whatever the fuck you want. Pipe in clown music. Fling bags of dogshit at him. Scream "draw a clock, grandpa". Piss water-balloons. NO MORE DECORUM, ONLY CHAOS MEETING CHAOS.

Come on, man. I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you!

Tell the cops that their use of force was inappropriate. They showed up to a planned snowball fight, shoved folks around, and all they got was hit with snowballs.

You've got nothing to apologize for. Yeah, there are other steps, other impeachments required to truly get the entire regime out, but surely getting rid of that decrepit fascist is step one. It's either that, or doing it the Italian way.

BECAUSE HOLY SHIT NEW SPINOSAURUS HELL YEAH

Mamdani saying "truly, you need to stop."

Are leftists so insignificant as to be unworthy of considering their policies, or are they the reason Trump won? Because it can't be both. Stop punching left and punch Nazis already.

If we're talking spicy movie takes, mine is that the 98 Godzilla isn't even the most poorly written American Godzilla movie anymore. It at least tries to have characters. What Adam Wingard did with his two Monsterverse movies frustrated the hell out of me.

I loved the 98 Godzilla as a kid, went through a phase where I performatively clowned on it as a teenager, and then as an adult I settled into a place where I think it's just a fun movie, even if it's kinda dumb. There are certain things about it that are great, like the music.

See, I think your spicy opinion is totally understandable. The Star Wars industrial complex of endless content and the online fandom make it easy to get put off by the whole thing.

As a kid I LOVED Star Wars, but now I find it hard to engage with. Last Jedi was peak though.

I think any story that tries to emphasize the horrifying nature of nuclear power but insists on completely ignoring the perspective of the only people it was ever used on to instead focus on the regret of a guy who sucks is a waste.

Godzilla makes Oppenheimer's point better than Oppenheimer.

Waking up every day in America like:

In 2004 there wasn't an entire grifter industrial complex telling people which games to be mad at 24/7.

"Everyone left of me is a bot. Only people who sit in my milquetoast 'moderate' position are real people."

"Not only do I believe the guy who says aliens picked him as the messiah and blames all the world's problems on Jewish people, I also would like to let people die of COVID and Measles, so take that."

Good job. Top notch. No notes. 👍

You really just threw out "oh, and I'm also an antivaxxer" unprompted as if it was some kind of mic drop moment, huh homie?

Lol
