When the real fight comes, the Nazis will have morons running the show, while the Resistance will have the smartest, most experienced people in the world.

Happened before. Jews were round up and killed or fled Germany, and their “Jewish sciences” like the work of Einstein were taboo ot outright rejected. So when it became apparent that nuclear energy could be harnessed to make a bomb, the Germans were on the back foot and had no one with expertise in the theory necessary to build it. Germany fell before the bomb was ultimately built, but it would have turned the tides of the war immediately had they not, as we saw.

The problem now, though, is that most of the world powers already have enough doomsday weapons to destroy all of humanity 10 times over so… even as we get more precise and efficient and effective at taking out specific targets from afar, all it ever takes is for one mad man with a legion of nukes to end it all, and guess what we have…

And the brain drain continues.

Starbucks white mocha frappaccino is too sweet by half. But Starbucks white mocha frappaccino with an extra shot (or two extra shots!)… Delightful.

For her, it’s just who ever most recently said a thing she liked vs who who ever is in charge and can be blamed for all the things she doesn’t like. She’s probably never met a government official she couldn’t blame for a cloud blocking her sunlight, and never met a politician that lies if the things they’re saying sound nice.

PS. That’s not aimed at Mamdani, just Shirley Wong and those who behave like her.

Mormons 🙄

And you think they understand or care about that? This administration?

On the one hand, I do not want politicians’ opinions to constantly chase polling numbers. They shouldn’t cynically change their views like their underwear as it suits their electability, only learn and evolve gradually as we all do. And when they firmly believe in something, they should have principles and stand by those principles. For those that are doing that, I admire their resolve and integrity. On the other hand, their principles are shit, and they need to go.

Unlimited tax free contributions to a Satanic Temple sponsored Super PAC? And I can write off my donations as charitable since they go to a religious organization? It’s fucked up, but that is absolutely what the Evangelicals and Mormons are about to do. Let’s make them regret it.

AFAIK, current Supes is perpetually 28ish. So, he was born/arrived under Bill Clinton’s administration. But Trump is trying to denaturalize people who have birthright citizenship without citizen parentage, so i dont think it matters.

Pfft, you think the Trump administration would give him the benefit of the doubt.

Is thst still canon? I know it was officially changed at least by New 52 to be baby Kal-El in the ship from Krypton again. And then Post-Crisis canon was merged with New 52 Canon with Rebirth and Doomsday Clock, but I haven’t read a comic in years now. No idea what they settled on as his new origin. Either way though, non-lawful entry or born here with non-citizen birth parents, he would be considered an illegal or stateless immigrant under the current government. There is no getting around that Republicans.

So does my homemade mayo shower.

Thank you for the good faith response.

Update: only just got a chance to watch it and his “eat my entire ass comment” seems not to be related to the initiative itself but to the way Ross framed how the initiative was going to be easy to make into law becuase of a bunch of really weird reasons unrelated to the merit of the initiative that seemed very backhanded and sketchy. I completely agree that Ross’s comment were incredibly slimy and cynical even as I still mostly agree with the initiative. Just seems like people are taking the comment out of that context and getting pissed over something he didnt actually say or mean about the initiative itself. And, as i said before, I couldn’t give two fucks about personal beef between creators. I know nothing about Ross Scott and have only seen him in this context.

That’s a pretty twisted way to view the world. We are fundamentally different kinds of people. I think are done here. No way we will agree on anything if that’s how you think.

My point was that this rage mill has produced a lot of extreme negativity and this post, among others, and the comment thread within, is propogating it. And, as far as I can tell, it is over, at best, Thor taking the possibilities of this petition as written to the extreme to illustrate his concerns for its vagueness. And even if he is dead wrong, completely mistaken, and now knows it and won’t admit to it, that does not, in anyway, justify the position he is put in now. I’m not say that you personally support him being swatted, or getting death threats, but not letting this shit go after a year of bullshit, letting it fester and boosting the rage, that’s what leads to that shit. Just let it go.

Thank you for the link.

And you don’t have to try and strawman this. I have neither harassed, swated, or made any threats, at all, against him. Nor have I ever advocated for it. I have also not claimed anyone deserves that treatment.

Didn’t say that you are. But for some reason you are arguing with me while I’m just saying that he doesn’t deserve all that. If we agree on that don’t know why you’re concerned with my comments.

Again, I ask. Who cares? Like you said, he’s just about the only one in opposition. The Petition is successful. His career is in shambles. Why is everyone still shitting on the guy. Why are people still posting about him and harassing him and the studio he worked for. Why not just move on even though he continues to disagree with you. How does that affect anyone now?

Where do you get that I’m picking fights? I’m telling people they need to calm down over a complete non-issue. Feel free to browse my post history to confirm. Scroll past the mayo jokes and discourse around time travel and spacetime.

And yeah, rage mill. Googling this story shows dozens and dozens of angry response videos or celebrating the SKG milestone as a victory over PirateSoftware, hundreds of hate posts calling him a liar (about seemingly everything, not just this), and a ton of news stories about the situation, about death threats and swatting and the guy stepping away from his indie studio over an opinion he expressed on a topic relevant to his work a year ago. Yes, rage mill.
