Human Being but when people use the words humane or inhumane to describe our species behaviour sometimes it reminds me of a line from the movie ‘The Princess Bride’ “I do not think that word means what you think it means.”

In this case, it's writing a piece that can be summed up with, "The stupid libs keep fear mongering about their bodily rights being taken away. Here's why we should do that."

23.11.2025 11:15 — 👍 0 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0Agreed. Power and influence are both double-edged swords, and all world leaders engage in finger pointing and scapegoating when it suits them, including both for and against the U.S.
If only everyone was capable of communicating with civil dialogue as we have. I appreciate the respectful discussion
One of my favourite lines from the wonderful movie Office Space:
“I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I ever thought it could be”
You actually just proved my point. The U.S.A.’s oversized influence on the rest of the world does not make its president “THE Leader” of anyone outside the U.S., but thinking so is a common misconception. There are many other influential “leaders” in the geopolitical sphere not following U.S. at all
20.11.2025 19:25 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Genuinely curious who was the first to claim that the President of the U.S.A. is the “leader of the free world”. It has never been true, yet it gets repeated by Americans as if it were globally accepted fact. The rest of the world knows this is false and don’t believe in “American exceptionalism” 🤡

Ok but to be fair potatoes are pretty great no matter how they’re done and those buttons could be useful maybe someday and meanwhile they can be kept in an old cookie tin… and no really I’m not being defensive at all 😳
Damn I’m out of chips 🙁😊
The correct form of “they’re” is used twice, which seems especially unlikely on social media where it seems fewer people know or care 🧐
