somewhere, a criminal: Oh man, you mean all I have to do is take my license plate off, dress like a tacticool office worker, put on a mask and I’m just allowed to kidnap people??? SCORE!!!

Unless you have knowledge and possibly evidence that politicians, world leaders, movie stars, and pretty much every ceo is into children and human trafficking as long as it’s on a private island.

Then you might just experience the craziest set of coincidences!

OK, boomer

Well yeah, if you’re trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.

Evolution (2001) is an objectively bad movie.

It is also one of my all time favorites because it’s fun and doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Schindler’s List is an objectively good movie. It is decidedly not fun.

I wouldn’t know.

I’ve never used them.

I’ve never even seen them.

As an American, seconded.

I’m trapped here, don’t YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.

I’m cool with people snitching on someone pouring greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

They’re being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.

Getting defensive isn’t necessary.

That banner SLAMMED Jeff bezoz!

I’m sure he didn’t just chuckle to himself and sleep even more soundly at night.

Moth needs to stop runningaway when I try to let it outside, I just want to help but I can’t help if I can’t catch it.

the “optimal” economic path during climate change

The optimal solution is to spend as much as you can into preventing climate change, because a dead planet has no economy. No customers = no income, no profit, no business.

But that requires looking past the next quarter.

Also I’m convinced economics “professionals” have all figured out that the whole system is bullshit that gets made up on a day to day basis by people who inherited their wealth, and just want to gift along with it. “I know it’s bullshit but they’re giving me money, so…”

The only things that assume infinite growth are viruses and parasites.

And the best part is, you don’t have to try choosing the right one!

Just slap it all on, and each republican will happily pick the one they like best and cling to it, while dismissing everything else as immaterial to whatever discussion they are in.

Quark, you’ve been warned a hundred times about discussing human hunting techniques with menagerie owners.

Don’t make me get Odo.

… “FeEmAlEs”… you ferengi sure know how to raise 'em…

crazy journalistic cowardice

That’s all we’ve been seeing since the first time Ajent Ornj was in office.

And now that they know he has no problem arresting journalists who he doesn’t like, it’s even worse.

All the people in charge who could do something about it are showing they are excellent at two things: placating the masses, and kissing a dictators ass.

Too many normal people are just barely making it by and don’t want to lose what little they have by taking a stand, especially when they might be standing alone.

should be impeached

Impeached and then executed for treason.

So far I have yet to see ANY form of ICE in uniform with proper identification visible, so as far as I am concerned these kidnap victims would have been within their constitutional right to defend themselves by any means necessary, using whatever force they can. If that means ICE start getting executed when they “forget” these things, well so be it. It’s what they deserve for dressing like that/behaving like that/insert right wing excuse for assaulting women a minorities here.

I just repeated this to a table of 6 and got nothing but blank stares.

5 of them genuinely thought we found WMDs Iraq/Afghanistan

One had no idea what I was talking about and thought the war was entirely about the world trade centers.

I am surrounded by morons.
