you were actually taught that?? for the love of Snoopy

hmmmm the Steam Deck is eating away at that cake… I know my son was an avid Nintendo fan and didn’t even look at the Switch 2 because his 3 year old Steam Deck is doing everything he wants

- Comment on What do you think of Paramount merging with Warner Bros. Discovery to create a new media company? 2 weeks ago:
hmmmm I don’t see there is much room here beyond black and white…
As is, the industry would compare to 2 fairly ill individuals that still manage… after the merger it would be like having one terminal patient, one with terminal brain cancer or the other with advance Alzheimer; a difference with no distinction at that point
- Comment on What do you think of Paramount merging with Warner Bros. Discovery to create a new media company? 2 weeks ago:
However I love movies
if you love movies, you should hate every merger… ALL mergers are about buying market share and eliminating competition, with no competition you will get whatever slop they think will be commercially successful and call it a day (just look at all the great IP domain Disney has ruined via acquisitions)
- Comment on Why does most American's give shit to the French when if not for them we would have lost the revolution? 4 weeks ago:
Ignorance… that is usually the root cause
Muricans are poorly educated, half can’t read past 6th grade level and most do not read unless forced to.
In this particular case they make fun of the French for not beating the Nazis in WWII because they probably saw it in a meme somewhere but their history knowledge does not go far back enough to realize how stupid they look when they do this “seriously”

- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
I don’t understand your replies. In the video Jon addresses the impulse people have to want folk like him, Colbert, and Kimmel to run for office. He insinuates his disagreement but understands the sentiment. In other words, exactly your point.
jet ITT everybody is already voting for this imaginary ticket
On the other hand, you keep arguing the point of Jon as POTUS in this comment thread when the only point being made was that, unlike most celebrities, Jon has knowledge and experience in the legislative process. You stated that he had no other qualification other than fame. I corrected that misconception. Nothing more.
read the comments… the celebrity worship is out of control here
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
and with his track record, he could have peen an awesome potus
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
because that not my point, that’s your strawman
I’m not arguing Stewart is not perfect, I’m not arguing he is worse than the pedo… I’m arguing the reason you are fantasizing about him as potus is because of the mad celebrity worship Americans love to engage in… exactly the same reason the maga idiots won’t listen to reason
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
lol, tell me it’s not celebrity worship while performing celebrity worship
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
not JUST popularity contests, that is just America bud
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
All I said was a potato would be better than Trump, not an ideal choice. Stewart is far from a potato, too, so I don’t know what kind of weird point you’re trying to make.
As clear as possible: the USA could have a MUCH better POTUS than Stewart (actually he said so himself in this very vid)… perhaps, step 1 is to stop looking at celebrities
Sure, I’d much rather have a seasoned politician like Bernie or someone even further left, but I wouldn’t scoff at John Stewart.
Then go a support Bernie and stop wasting time with Stewart who is not running
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
Sure a millionaire who could retire tomorrow and live in luxury for 3 lifetimes is not afraid of stop working… wow, what courage
Sadly, you seem to be too deep in the problem to understand you are just adding fuel to the dumpster fire
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
My original point is that the very American celebrity worship phenomenon, which has turned your entire government in a popularity contest, is BAD for you… so maybe don’t keep going down this route?
I swear some people find themselves in a hole and they just want to keep digging
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
who says I am?
Why are you dealing in absolutes? if I am not with you, even partially, I seem to be interpreted as being against you
All I am saying is that, if you take Jon Stewart celebrity status away, all you have is a man with no interesting education to speak of who does seem interested in the welfare of vets… that’s it. You can go to ANY VA facility and find people with more education and a life long career of helping Vets
Yet you want me to think you wanting Jon Stewart for POTUS has nothing to do with celebrity worship
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
I mean, I get your point, but… are you really going to pretend Stewart wouldn’t be better than every fucking Republican?
no, of course not. But the piece of dog shit I just scraped off my shoe would be a million times better than all republicans blended together so that is not really a measure of goodness
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
yes but why choose a celebrity that knows politics when you could have someone with a full education and career (or at least you could wish for one)
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
and he is getting handsomely paid to continue his show… if you’d tell me he retired from TV to just become and activist you’d have a solid point
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
what am I accusing anyone of doing?
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
but if a fucking potato can do it… imagine what an educated person with a good track record and a career of helping could do… why do you still want a potato?
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
Reagan and Trump have proven that actors and media personalities are extraordinarily good at pushing their agendas. The problem isn’t that they were/are celebrities. The problem is that their agendas suck.
so maybe, just maybe, go with someone that has an actual education and career to show they have a good agenda? not just someone that seems nice… I do not think he has done bad things but he has barely been successful at ONE thing he has pushed the gov for (and not that successful because Vets keep getting defunded)
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
those abilities represent an incredibly low bar to clear man… it shows you have had shit leadership for such a long time
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
so that makes him a good activist… the leap from there to POTUS is like you seeing me volunteering at a soup kitchen and wanting to give me a Micheline star restaurant to run
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 month ago:
Again, not to take away from that… but it’s easy to “speak truth to power” when you are not in power
