- Comment on Trump Ordered ‘American Flag Blue’ for the Reflecting Pool. It’s Green Again. 4 days ago:
It’s completely normal for this to happen after any shutdown, because all the little places with water grows it, then when you fill it back up it quickly spreads till they dial in the chemicals.
The problem here is they fucked up the color so it’ll always look shitty.
And whoever is maintaining it now won’t be able to get the algae under control.
It highlights how relatively normal speed bumps keep causing massive issues.

Yep, all that shit is part of home court advantage.
Everything is pretty much the same. trump basically took away home court advantage. For the Spurs it was already going to be weird
- Comment on Wembanyama, Spurs stun Knicks at MSG to revive Finals hopes 1 week ago:
I think
NYC is undefeated
Is nowhere as near a compelling story for a champion team than:
NYC is undefeated (unless trump is there, because he always fucks it up)
Just put 100% of the blame on him, and everytime a Knicks fan brings it up, everyone can shit talk trump.
Like that university that made everyone swear not to forgive a guy for centuries until everyone forgot the reason and kept doing it anyways. Or when a manager trades a major talent and fans curse their name for decades.
It would be funny, but it would piss him off so fucking much for something he wants wrapped up in is associated with the single loss. He didn’t go because he liked the Knicks, he went to be associated with winners.
But even winners lose when trump supports them
- Comment on Xbox pulls Gears video featuring a PS5 logo, 24 hours after announcing it as an exclusive 1 week ago:
Well, yeah…
But you cheated, you used critical thinking. These days that’s like Shaq bragging to toddlers that he can dunk and they can’t.
- Comment on Xbox pulls Gears video featuring a PS5 logo, 24 hours after announcing it as an exclusive 1 week ago:
Then Sony jacked up the price of PlayStation Plus and announced that they’re no longer supporting PC with single player games. I have zero faith in Sony to make the right decisions anymore.
Which is why what they’re doing is so dumb
They think people will rush out and buy ps5s for exclusives, after people just sold theirs. Hell, I gave mine away to my niece. I’m not going to buy another or a ps6 knowing that at any moment exclusives won’t be exclusive again.
The flip flop just showed people it can change. And if they don’t sell enough consoles, they will switch again. And people still won’t buy them at full price.
- Comment on C.I.A. Officer Found With Gold Bars Said to Have Created Fake Spy Program 1 week ago:
Called it when news broke:
The U.S. officials who said that Mr. Rush had created a fake “special access program” did not provide details of the program, or explain how Mr. Rush used it to take government money. The Washington Post reported earlier on Mr. Rush’s use of the fake program.
It was some Snowfall shit. The CIA gave him the gold to funnel to someone off the book, and he just kept some of it. We won’t ever know if this was a skin or if a program costing 100x as much doing some real evil shit was running.

The swastika is ackshullay an old Indian symbol…
The Young Turks committed multiple genocides, claiming you named it after a different organization named after the originals isn’t the slam dunk you think it is, especially considering how recent the fucking Armenian genocide is
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 2 weeks ago:
Anyway, the UK is picking and choosing which
foreignersgenocide deniers get to advocate which issues on UK soil in order to foment complicity with a current and ongoing genocide, and apparently you’re in favor of that so you can fuck right off.I think the difference, is you believe in “good genocide deniers”…
And I think anyone that would deny any genocide is a piece of shit.
Like, if Hasan is “at odds” with his uncles denial of genocide, why is he doing events and travelling with him?
It just doesn’t make logical sense, plenty of people write off closer family for denying genocide without making genocide such a central part of their identy as Hasan.
Some genocides are huge deals to him, some aren’t.
Anyone like that can’t be trusted, they’re not really against genocide as a concept.
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 2 weeks ago:
You’re effectively muting discussion
No, I’m saying we shouldnt listen to a family of millionaires who made their money denying genocide on how bad genocide is…
Finding someone who agrees no genocide is valid, isn’t a tall order.
And speaking out against genocide denial, is never a bad thing
I’m not just going to ignore it because your favorite streamer does it buddy
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 2 weeks ago:
And Cenk still won’t change the name of his media organization from the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide he spent most of his life denying…
Even know, he just admits the Aremenian genocide could be considered a genocide. But refusing to change the name of his company.
I don’t know how or why genocide deniers are ever considered “the good guys”.
Loads of conflicts is two groups of assholes fighting.
But there are podcasters out there who don’t support any genocide too…
- Comment on Hasan Piker, Cenk Uygur Denied Entry to UK Over Palestine Support 2 weeks ago:
It’s still weird everyone ignores Cenk named his organization after the perpetrators of the Armenian genocide…
Armenian Genocide, campaign of deportation and mass killing conducted against the Armenian subjects of the Ottoman Empire by the Young Turk government during World War I (1914–18). Armenians charge that the campaign was a deliberate attempt to destroy the Armenian people and, thus, an act of genocide. The Turkish government has resisted calls to recognize it as such, contending that, although atrocities took place, there was no official policy of extermination implemented against the Armenian people as a group.

Or that the only reason Hasan has a platform is he’s a nepo nephew…
- Comment on Colorado Governor Jared Polis once again vetoes bill that would make it easier for unions to organize 3 weeks ago:
Human variation.
Some people are wired to hoard as much resources as possible, like a squirrel compulsively burying nuts.
We didn’t evolve for the abstract concept of wealth we have now. It’s just a number on a screen, it can go up indefinitely and at a certain point it’s can’t help but accumulate.
At a certain point there should be “to much wealth to manage” that limits these people, if they don’t have a limit they’re never stop hoarding.
If they could have ever been satisfied, they would have been long before a billion.
What I don’t get is why not everyone see this…
- Comment on Colorado Governor Jared Polis once again vetoes bill that would make it easier for unions to organize 3 weeks ago:
The real lesson is absolutely anyone can put a D by their name…
Even if not a politician, trump gave so much money to the Clinton’s they came to one of his weddings. He was a Dem “power donor” for decades.
Anytime people just care about the letter by a name we’re fucked.
But people are really opposed to critical thinking and really love easy binary labels.
- Comment on There Has Never Been an Example of Presidential Corruption Like This 3 weeks ago:
You did actually ask a question this time so:
Yes, Jackson’s campaign platform was basically Trump’s, and the result was even worse.
Jackson also said he would “drain the swamp” and reduce federal corruption and just instilled more. Naming expanded federal lands.
And that was wildly divisive, it was not what all Americans wanted, just a loud minority.
It’s fucking exactly like today in a lot more ways than I’m bothering to type out, because it almost assuredly going to be a waste of my time.
Because like I said, if I keep trying to explain things to you, I’m going to get frustrated with you. And I just don’t have the motivation to help you when even this short exchange is annoying.
Ask someone else, I won’t see anymore of your replies.
- Comment on There Has Never Been an Example of Presidential Corruption Like This 3 weeks ago:
I’m not gonna put all the time in to explain why morals are not the same as laws and corruption can be legal…
But wanted to at least say that’s something you need to understand before jumping into any conversation about corruption or morality.
Like, by your own logic trump ain’t corrupt, because unregulated capitalism has controlled our country for decades and no one is currently stopping him.
I’m just going to get way too frustrated that you don’t understand that yet if I try to explain it. I sincerely hope you figure it out tho.
- Comment on There Has Never Been an Example of Presidential Corruption Like This 3 weeks ago:
You guys realize we had presidents when we were genociding the natives…
Right?
Like, “manifest destiny” was a real thing that really happened…
trumps the most corrupt president in “modern” history, but when our country is less than 300 years old, it’s really all “modern history”.
He’s just the most corrupt president anyone alive has lived thru, still a big deal but a big reason we’re where we are today because people don’t know shit and just vote on vibes.
trump is the cough from a disease, we can’t afford to just take cough medicine because the cough is annoying, we need to fix what’s causing the cough. We don’t have time to keep treating symptoms while ignoring the disease: rampant unregulated capitalism.
Fix that and we just don’t fix trump, we fix all the symptoms that are fucking our lives up.
- Comment on Twenty Years After His Film, Al Gore Tweaks the Climate Script 3 weeks ago:
Did he move away from the moral message?
“It remains the central argument,” Mr. Gore said, pointing out that he was still making this case in speeches and at meetings. But he also noted that “experience says there are a lot of people who will be more easily be persuaded by the impact on their pocketbooks.”
Always give people the moral reason to do the right thing, but also a selfish reason.
Because when people are stressed, we get selfish, it’s Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
So you tell people the moral reason for good times, and the selfish reason for bad times.
Morals can prolong peace but it’s absolute dogshit at advancing society. Nothing solves wealth inequality faster than everyone understanding how bad it actually is.

Get the name to stick. And point out all the white racist “refugees” from SA trump keeps letting in as the cause. Force the cognitive dissonance of “dirty refugees” and “but they’re white?!?”
The goal isn’t for them to vote D, it’s for them to not vote R.
All that needs done making them so confused and angry they don’t want to think about politics, let alone vote. It’s not hard

- Comment on Israeli security minister stirs diplomatic outrage with flotilla activist abuse video 4 weeks ago:
That guy’s a giant piece of shit…
Even for Israel’s current government
Ben-Gvir is a settler in the Israeli-occupied West Bank whose “political background lies in Kahanism—a violently racist movement that supports the expulsion of Palestinians from their lands”.[2] He has a long history of anti-Arab activism, leading to dozens of indictments and at least eight convictions of crimes including incitement to racism and support for, as well as possession of propaganda of, a terrorist organization (the now-illegal Kach political party).[3] As a lawyer, he is known for defending Jews accused of Jewish extremist terrorism in Israeli courts.[4]
Ben-Gvir is known for being a provocateur and has attracted headlines for a variety of reasons: threatening Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on live television in 1995 shortly before his assassination; having had a portrait in his living room of Baruch Goldstein, a Jewish terrorist and mass murderer; calling in 2019 for the expulsion of Arab citizens of Israel who are not loyal to the state;[5] inciting violent clashes between Jewish settlers and Palestinians in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah in 2021; and making highly controversial visits to the Temple Mount, where the al-Aqsa Mosque is located, in 2023 and 2024.[6]
- Comment on A woman has been ordered to remove a gorilla statue from the front of her house in Wakefield or face a fine. 4 weeks ago:
Hold up…
Are you saying that instead of letting anyone build anything, and then the government has to find everything and investigate to make sure it’s safe…
That instead we should set regulations for safe building and require people to get permits notifying the city of the build so it could be approved before it was built?!?!
You might be on to something here…
/s
Really disappointing so many people didn’t understand that incredibly basic system and downvoted you.

See, last time trump wanted to get his hands in it and didn’t let Anthony Fauci take common sense steps…
This time trump has so much shit going on he likely doesn’t even know this is a thing.
So he’s going to let the people with decades of experience follow established procedure and take logical steps to minimize infection.
Yep, everything will be fine because the director of HHS will be able to handle this with essentially zero oversight…
/S
This is the director of HHS btw:
