Lmao fair!

Americans are dumb because the system works as designed. The rich remove value, the populace feels like they have a say in things when really the decisions are made for them at a much higher level.

The party leadership isn’t stupid, the parties themselves act like corporations with diffusive responsibilities and agendas that lead to the same ends, the party leadership is agenda driven on maintaining power. Much like the party is.

The state of American voters and voting is a result that was arrived at on purpose. The populace doesn’t actually have any power in this representative democracy at the highest levels. It’s pure oligarchy.

The DNC isn’t stupid, it’s evil.

It was in 2008, DNC went hard on fucking over Obama, and rather than reform the DNC when he won, he washed his hands of them. Now we’re here, with a group that cares more about controlling the field of candidates rather than winning a general election.

They (the Biden admin) purposefully withheld polling data that showed he had 0 chance to win, him and Kamala. Rather than attempt to find a candidate who would be popular in the general, they canceled the primaries.

Biden admin all but promised they would run 1 term in 2020, it was strictly an anti trump ticket in a post-covid world that was sick of him.

Trump was very simply a more popular candidate in 2024 who ran a much better campaign that wasn’t hamstrung by NOT talking about Palestine, the biggest news story at the time. People entirely forgot how bad he ratfucked us on covid, they remembered the name on the checks.

Any facist who follows that playbook within the general election will do the same, especially if there’s a opposition that quite literally knew they would lose and ran anyway. American elections are a joke because the American populace is fully captured by advertising and thus remain uneducated and ignorant.

Kamala could have won if Biden left later. Her best performance was immediately after he stepped down because they kept her from talking the entire Biden campaign (she was very unpopular). The second she had time to talk it was over, Kamala is a bad public speaker and terrible on the spot.

I’ll even tell you the moment she lost it. When she said the wall was a good idea on national television to Anderson Cooper. That was it. American elections are a popularity contest, we (the American populace) don’t take them seriously.

I would love to do the super spicy small ones. I fell in love with pickled radish in Korea. It’s a side dish for every meal. For maekju (chicken and beer), it is THE side dish. They do the big ol daikons tho.

It’s a very good movie. I am a non markiplier fan who went to the movie because my markiplier fan friend wanted to see it. Holy shit was i glad I went with him, cause this movie is legitimately good.

After having had a week to reflect on it, I think the main problem was markiplier’s acting. I think he must be an excellent director and producer, there’s no reason he needs to act as well. The movie plays like a 2 hour cut scene in a good way. The bits of world building made me want more, made me want to play the game to seek it out. This was successful both as a stand-alone movie and as an advertisement for the game.

It punches above its budget as well imo. Aside from some janky visuals at the beginning, once you’re inside the vehicle with Markiplier, it feels big. It doesn’t feel like you are trapped in personal sized submarine the whole time at all.

It’s total bullshit. They don’t need to do anything to the factory. They haven’t made X and Y in Fremont for 2 years. There isn’t anything to retool or any space to reuse.

The factory already frequently takes manufacturing breaks for days at a time. If he had a robot to build, they have capacity, but let’s not fool ourselves. There is nothing to manufacture or deliver.

You’re dead on, this is just him hoping he can fool people into thinking they still even need his factories at full capacity. Pretty sure they don’t.

I think that’s what their saying, since coke/cocaine and coke/coca cola are both named coke because of the same chemical.

I dunno which came first tho, far as I can tell cocaine in both drug and drink form started getting called coke around 1900-1910. The coca-cola company didn’t like the nickname, they advertised you saying the name in full, they didn’t actually copyright “coke” for coca-cola it till the 1940’s.

The only true segregation is wealth based, the last civil war had astoundingly clearly delineated lines and you still had brother killing brother. Modern war isn’t like that. It’s city by city with things totally calm 30 miles over. Moving like a cloud of death from community to community. Old grudges, family issues, bad neighbors, bad bosses, anything will get you killed.

Not a world i want to be in, no guarantee what this place looks like after, there isn’t a good guys win scenario, we’re in an oligarchy. Maybe it’s that shit Marx talked about, but i bet it’s Gilead.

They don’t turn this around on Ashley Babbit.

Karl Pilkignton is an eccentric dude, but he’s not stupid. He was head of production at XFM when he met Ricky Gervais, the person he was on screen on Idiot was part of a character he developed while doing Ricky Gervais’ radio show.

Yeah he’s that person, the character is based on him cause Ricky and Steve Merchant found his behavior hilarious. But he was already successful when he started it, and all the shit about him not waiting to come back was for more seasons was BS. He had revenue share from the beginning, that show was stupid business for them and Sky One.

You can see his real acting right after Idiot ended on Derek. Then he came back to Sky One to do more “Karl” work on Moaning Life. Then he did a truly scripted version of his Karl character on Sick of It.

Trust me, he’s is and was in on it.

Your overall vibe, I’ve seen it too but only when someone realized they’ve been throwing their time in the bottomless pit of a disordered mind. Like a fedora on the side of a trashcan, it’s a sign someone took control of their life back.

Seems like you might be encountering it enough in response to your responses that it’s annoyed you. Otherwise I can’t imagine any other reaction than moving on with my life.

It’s legit offputting, but when you’re on YouTube it makes sense to play that game. Following a thumbnail meta will get your video more engagement, they even allow A/B testing of thumbnails to find the best performing one. YT is as much a thumbnail platform as it is a video one, and I’m only being slightly hyperbolic.

Huh, you might be a loser who keeps getting blocked then.
