Wasn't this how "28 minutes later" started? They had a monkey they were playing truth, dare, double dare, promise or repeat with and bam. Angry plague!
I absolutely do not need a professor to answer this question. Also what the actual fuck kind of response is "we should be skeptical". Is this the headline for an article in "'Duh' weekly" or something? Well, No shit Dr. Empiricism; of course we should. Boycott that shit into oblivion.
This is why when people discuss this subject, and use terms like "we need to", a big part of me knows it's just that they "want to". A huge chunk of what we feel is necessity is, at best, "comfort subsidies" for our cushy lifestyles (and lest I be accused of tone deafness, I mean cushy in comparison to those in the developing countries you mentioned. "Less polluted and oppressed for the comfort of others" cushy). While it's true that too much change too soon means lots of people starve, I don't really think we actually know what we need.
Sorry but isn't this the inevitable result of the words and ideals he and other conservative flatulence mouthpieces keep off-gassing? Don't words mean things, and don't those things imply concrete action or intent? Maybe we should have been hearing the intent.
Personally, I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
And then, for the coup de grace, immediately deny that there even is or was ever such a social network, and insist it was another one of their "wacky dreams". And then later, they come to you to prove you wrong.
As an owner of both, my 2020 Ioniq BEV easily feels better than my previous civic, and my Subaru (though I'd want the suby for anything challenging terrain-related). Best car I've owned.
Of course you would! As an Americant, we are well acquainted with the scales you things use to impart value on the universe. We all know it's dollars. We know you're a shallow, transactional thing who has no capacity for self-reflection or any internal state other than "ME WANT MORE STUFF".
It's trite, boring, predictable and consistent with my beliefs that you're a weird, big-forehead-having subspecies (heavy emphasis on sub here). Homo sapiens americantus: the fail ape.
Very true, and also a valid point. I think they'd have a hard time concealing their intent in advance, either through a hamfisted Freudian slippage (fucking QED amirite?) or just too much info too hard to hide. A truly effective surprise strike would come without warning, mid-whatever-reality-show the placated population is bringing on.
I have lots of problems with that. I don't want anything to do with any of you fuckhole Americants. We don't fucking need you, but you asswipes just can't go a day without trying to take what's not fucking yours, you fucking kleptos.
Fuck all the way off, and once there, eat every bag of dicks.
This is SUCH an important point. The biggest and most painful band aid that needs to be pulled off is the cultural one. Our collective cultural identity has been steadily, gradually eroded by the loud, brash braying that the asses to the south continually emit day in day out. If it's not clear to us by now, Americants don't view anyone outside of their bubble as real people, or anything beyond a thing to be exploited. A means to their end.
The crucial realization though is that they absolutely depend on the their cultural exports to validate and legitimize their global behavior. A product and service boycott is good. A global cultural boycott that utterly repudiates their entire way of life is what's required though.
You're not wrong, it's only just recently that I can see a car driving with Canadian flags in it and not think "They actually support Trump".
But real talk, I think most of us up here see right through that paper thin veneer of faux patriotism they had. They bleated on and on about how they were standing up for our freedoms but all of them would fellate the crop of Nazis currently running roughshod on personal liberty in the USA.
How do you not know they haven't updated to use hall effect joycons? You not read anything at all about this until just now?
