Joss Whedon is problematic, but dang he made some good TV. There's a reason Firefly got a movie after not getting picked up (Serenity, it's also great), and a reason it still has a devoted following to this day.

...But oh man that opening song... lol

The harry potter movies were not good. Daniel Radcliff, however good of an actor he is now, back then, wasn't. he literally ruined those movies.

Social media is the devil. I have Lemmy and that's enough

I've yet to watch Schindler List. I feel like it's signing up for feeling bad for 2 hours 😕

I'm also big into Sci-fi, and have yet to watch the OG Star Treks, Stargate, Babylon 5, or Dr. Who

I once matched with a woman on a dating site, and she was a TERF.... who was also a trans-woman.

I was dumbfounded. I was like, how in the world can you parse someone who's that incongruous in their own thinking? She was straight up bigoted against herself.

I saved the whole conversation because it was absolutely wild and thought I would post it somewhere, but it seemed wrong... like, making fun of the mentally handicapped. 😕

I hosted my younger brother fora few months and he almost exclusively ate frozen pizza, with the occasional taco bell run 😬

course, I'm not much better. I eat turkey sandwiches with veggie soup every dinner, with a big bowl of oatmeal every morning. It's been OK thus far, but sometimes I wonder what else my body craves, and if it is, indeed, brawndo

My first thought is "Methinks he doth protest too much."

My second thought, is maybe he's advertising his want to assist in this specific scenario, in which case, can I have his number?

finally got around to finishing that, it was pretty good, my only beef was

spoilerwhatever the hell Starbuck was after she came back? Also, they introduced the concept of cylons 'casting' visions, but evidently that wasn't what Gaius was experiencing? then what was it? Seemed like they were pushing the idea of christianity in a freaking science fiction show, and it completely turned me off the last season.

Honestly it's never been too bad for me.

except that time it randomly turned on my microphone during a meeting, when I was casually chatting to my brother about the beneficial value of replacing antidepressants with a microdose of shrooms 😬

or when it wants to open docs in Teams instead of opening it in the actual program. It always opens so slow, just so I can close it.

or when it tried to force its update on me, and took me from black background to white, and suddenly the background matched my rage; white hot and seething

Take the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me 🎵

Here's what's going to happen.

Climate change will continue to ravage our planet, devastating vulnerable communities, fueling a great migration to areas that we can still use for agriculture. This scenario means that even if your area isn't terribly affected, you will be affected by the rise in immigration to your land.

As we all know, necessity is the mother of invention so this will lead us to:

-Finally bring to fruition stable fusion nuclear power.

-Invest in space travel on a scale we can't even imagine today.

-Place colonies on the moon.

-Figure out and eventually deploy terra forming operations to bring our planet back from the brink.

Also a lot of us will be psyched to find out that in the future, we'll want to build dwellings under ground, so yes, you may yet get to live in a hobbit hole, and have a small farm on your roof.

Oh yeah, and Greenland will be MAD valuable as an agricultural hub, which is why (I suspect) drumpf is trying (like a child would) to take it.

could always root and rom it, or whatever that means. My tech-inclined friend said it would fix any bloatware, but I've always just ignored the features I don't want and it's cool

 

Let's recap what a spectacular failure your administration has been so far. So much has happened already, I think it's important to keep track for you, as you bury your head in the sand of propaganda.

Drumpf launched a meme coin prior to the inauguration, of which he retained a massive amount, allowing any foreign actors to directly funnel money to his personal coffers without a trace. So far he stands to pocket somewhere north of a billion dollars from the venture. drumpfs final bribe total remains to be seen

This is, of course, naked corruption. Lest we forget, who was it that never released their tax returns, despite promises to do so? Who was it that was charged and convicted of a felony for using campaign funds to hide secret hush money payments to porn stars? Who was it that had 4 criminal indictments resulting in a fine of almost 500 million dollars? drumpfs criminal investigation tracker

He has attempted a blatantly unconstitutional executive order to end birthright citizenship. Gee, I thought we were a family of proud immigrants, that celebrated our German and Irish roots? My grandfathers fought nazis, their children helped put them in the white house. He's now allowing ICE to invade schools and churches to round up undesirables. All while rolling back key civil rights federal protections established in the Equal Employment Opportunity Order of 1965 that protects minorities such as myself from being discriminated against. This is while he pushes for his agencies to enact McCarthyism style witch hunts to root out and intimidate anyone who might value the true nature of the United States as the great melting pot it is.

His EPA is rolling back rules limiting PFAS in Americans drinking water, allowing companies to dump as much of the toxic chemical as they please. But don't worry the US ranks 23rd among nations when it comes to clean drinking water.

He has refused Dr. Faucis security detail, while giving a perfect example of stochastic terrorism saying he'd "Feel no responsibility should harm befall him." But hey it's not like his rabid base of mouth breathing supporters would try to harm anyone on behalf of their dear leader, right?

Here's a throwback to when he falsely claimed that a group of legal immigrants were stealing and eating peoples pets, which put an entire community in danger. A bullshit, racist assertion that he never walked back, despite it being proven false.

Additionally, after an innocuous sermon calling for empathy and compassion, drumpf took offense, and now she's receiving death threats from your wildly unhinged base too.

He's also rolled back a program aimed at keeping the cost of generic prescription drugs lower for medicare and medicaid recipients. While the rest of the GOP floats the idea to cut funding to medicaid to fund his destructive agenda.

Oh yeah, and I definitely saw this one coming. Representatives introduce bill to allow drumpf a third term in the white house. Just another example of the traitorous, disgusting, and insane behaviour we've all come to expect from your party. The pundits and yourself may laugh it off now, but as the years go on, soon you'll be in lock-step saying that "he should have 8 uninterrupted years of rule so as to enact his agenda" with as much vigor as your dear leader demands.

Oh and his proposed new tax plan would increase taxes on the poor and middle class, while giving huge tax breaks to the wealthy! Who could have seen that coming! Besides fucking EVERYONE?

"... we estimate the bottom 40 percent of households would see tax increases, on average, with after tax income falling by 0.6 percent for the bottom quintile and by 0.4 percent for taxpayers in the 20th to 40th percentile. Middle income taxpayers would see very slight tax cuts on average, with after-tax income increasing by 0.3 percent in 2034. The top two quintiles would see the largest increases in after-tax income, ranging from 1.4 percent for taxpayers in the 60th to 80th percentile to 3.1 percent for the top quintile. Increases for the top 1 percent are even larger, reaching 4.1 percent in 2034. In the long run, accounting for economic growth, all income groups would see an increase in after-tax income, although higher income earners would see a larger increase."

Hey, and this is just the first week! Please feel free to explain how this will lower the price of groceries?
