Damn when did movies start coming out in movie theaters

those silicon valley hackers needed all that pirate flag rebel cringe stuff to push back against the inhumane treatment of being assigned private offices with closing doors and windows that look out at a national park, these days we know better

One of the most pathetic things I’ve seen in my life was a river north loft condo owner holding up her daughter at a public meeting for a tall apartment building, saying her daughter would grow up not knowing what the moon is because the tower would block her view of it. Tower project was cancelled.

Another Galwegian for president?

Ireland's Deposit Return Scheme! When you buy a drink in a plastic bottle, aluminium or steel can that features the Re-turn logo, you pay a small deposit in addition to the price of the drink. When you return your empty and undamaged drink container to participating shops and supermarket, you get your deposit back in full.

Ireland just got a bottle/can deposit system but they call it a scheme. What are they up to?

Sounds like it will be the most important election of our lifetimes, I’d better do everything I’m told to by people who always lose

got the band for you

People desperately wanting weather control to be real always seems cute to me. Wanting the moon landing to be fake is no fun, but wanting a weather control contraption to exist is fun. If you’re going to believe something crazy you should pick something that would be fun if it was real.

They’re called cured meats because they may cure your ailments

The study did not include anyone who ate less than one hot dog per day. 365 dogs/year was considered the “doesn’t eat very many hot dogs” group in that study’s design. Doesn’t seem like a good study. It’ll be back in a few days tho

Been like a month straight of different news outlets finding the “hot dogs are not healthy” study that just came out and then re-asking the most important question: are hot dogs healthy?

Is this a repeating cycle of businesses forgetting about and then remembering that email exists? When I got into startups the biggest thing going was collecting email signups because of Groupon. For a moment, having a million email addresses was worth more than having any paying customers.

It’s great that we’re way out here in the “picking dream candidates from all possible options” stage of how to defeat the populist despot and they are already starting with the “look we just have to accept this guy who sucks” moves

I remember hearing “actually if you look up the individual syllables in that word…” a lot in church sunday school and youth group type stuff

Humility is what one would expect after years of being wrong about something but their powerful aversion to being made to feel bad contorts it in their minds into even more powerful smugness

I just wish that “just because we are late to agreeing with you, after years of scolding and condescending to you entirely in bad faith, it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still be in charge of the status quo forever” was a thought that thinking it caused the human body to explode

Puff daddy was cool to sheltered white kids at my private christian elementary school. Those kids grown-up is who that guy writes for now

Saying “i guess everything is my fault!” when encountering a real criticism of ones self is such classic narcissistic abuser mindset I love seeing these liberals tout it out to defend their favorite geriatrics against the genocide they enabled

The thing you said here makes no sense whatsoever to the person you responded to. It’s like your mind skipped tracks entirely. What a profoundly damaged worldview required to hold these thoughts in your head. Hope you feel bad a lot!

This was the most important poll of our lifetimes 😢😢😢

An armed US government official telling a US citizen “You’ve got no rights” should result in a sedition charge with the potential for the death penalty

I love telling other people who they enjoy politically, they’re always very grateful for me to have told them

What do you think should happen to people who deny genocide because they think they can intellectualize their way out of them? I have one idea but I bet you wouldn’t like it

that was joey salads

we had to stop calling republicans weird during the campaign because it seemed uncouth

This is maybe why I like 3 more than most people do, I can’t separate it from this tryptic of director showcases it first arrived in. Also people just hate Ethan trying to be a family man but even the sequels agreed he isn’t cut out for it! Every spy gets 1 trial wife

When the first 3 movies were all that existed, it was like a study in having 3 directors make the same basic plot in their own distinct style. 1 extremely a depalma, 2 extremely a woo, 3 extremely the tv show alias. Then they settled on a house style and the experiment was over.

Guy walking around with a giant soccer ball sized goiter on his neck going “while I can admit the situation is bad, calling it a goiter does nothing to advance your aims”

What pathetic concessions are you expecting to receive in exchange for this little treat you’re throwing over the white house fence?

I might yell at my team for not challenging any of the illegal moves and just letting it happen over and over, while sending their fans out to yell at anybody who thinks they should be doing more
