I loved how they handled the concept of a feminine hero in the sequel.

Ripley is the hero, but there's also Vasquez - the badass marine. Vasquez is what so many people tried to do to make women heroic in action films.

She's just an action hero that happens to be a woman. And she's great. But her character isn't classically "feminine."

Meanwhile Ripley is all woman. Her iconic badass moment ("Get away from her you bitch!") is the action climax of the film, and its also when she's being her most feminine. Her heroism didn't carry an asterisk saying she's a badass despite her sex.

She's not sexy, not vulnerable, not emulating a stereotypical man's role in combat. She's all-woman and all-badass.

American weapons were used against some of those protestors, too. And in Palestine.

We're market leaders on violence.

Last time we fought fascism we allied with lots of adversaries to take down the larger threat. I'm down for doing that again.

How?

Federal taxes don't pass through California on the way to the feds.

Yeah, but running for President when you aren't eligible for the office for fomenting rebellion really is a crime.

I think it would still techically be more hole since a larger total area would be hole.

I would be fewer holes, though.

Sounds like the Sobokawa Pillow.

Those infomercials ran all the time back in the day.

I'm not going to get over it. Hundreds of thousands of people are already dying from this motherfucker's actions, he's announced plans to entirely remove all Palestinians forever to build fucking resorts. He's disappearing people and arresting judges. He deployed the military against protesters.

We knew all of this would happen. He said he'd be a dictator starting day 1 and would devote his administration to revenge against his political opponents.

Bet you still chose not to vote against this. You actively chose this outcome. There's blood on your hands, and you don't get to wash it off.

Most of them in my area have disabled that. There is no non-destructive way to mute them.

Not voting for the Dems WAS voting for fascism in 2024.

Harris's stance on Israel.was bad. You know who is much, much worse? The person assholes like you empowered by throwing away your vote. And yo7 do this all the fucking time.

If 1% of the Green Party voters in Florida in 2000 had voted for Gore, Bush would never have been President, and all the bullshit that's resulted from that nightmare wouldn't have happened, and the country wouldn't have shifted to the right.

That's no longer true. That's what the RealID is about.

Doesn't the California National Guard report to the Governor?

Exactly. And the sacrifice refers not to Jesus's suffering and persecution, but what humanity gave up in that sacrifice - God's active, personal presence on Earth.

If you're not religious, it all means nothing,of course.

Yeah, but all the lockers were stacked in rows with 2 short lockers instead of 1 tall one.

The bill ends the carbon offset income that's the largest portion of Tesla's income. Combined with their sales being in the toilet because everybody hates him, and the company very well may not survive.

Exactly what everyone expected would happen is happening.

The 2 egomaniacs are sick of each other and lashing out.

Not when the Heritage Foundation is writing the history books.

It's a Noble gas that we can't synthesize chemically and is light enough it just floats away forever when released. And it provides less lift than hydrogen.

Helium's sole advantage is also why it's about the least-renewable thing out there.

This is why your people were exiled to the other side of the planet.

Fucking Pandas.
