Top Gun

@Ginguy Real talk: Why the fuck do you still post here? No one buys a single word of your bullshit because we're not like the brain-dead Fox-poisoned drooling zombies your kind recruit. No one wants to read what you have to say. No one wants you here. Take a fucking hint.

People have been bitching about "violent video games" causing crime since the early 90s. Who knows how many studies have shown absolutely no correlation between them. It's just a bullshit easy excuse for people to ignore dealing with the much more complicated underlying societal issues.

"Okay, get the bucket!"

It's hilarious just how fucking terrified they are that some of their viewers might get even the tiniest glimpse of reality. If that bubble ever gets popped, their ratings are fucked.

This has nothing to do with the show. And in One Piece terms, a "saga" can last for the better part of a decade.

In related news, hell has frozen over.

Season 5 hyyyyyype.

I can't. Nature is terrifying.

So tell me, what happens when Putin decides that Moldova is next on the buffet? Or Georgia? Or any of the other surrounding territories with would-be breakaway regions? Do we keep letting him nibble away at those because of the threat of him holding the rest of the planet hostage? Are you cool with that?

You are literally Neville Chamberlain.

How the fuck do I know? I'm not versed in high-level diplomatic negotiations. What I do know is that I want to keep giving Ukraine the ability to drive these motherfuckers back so that Putin doesn't have a leg to stand on in terms of demanding so much as a postage stamp of terrain.

"I'm not going to tell them what they should and shouldn't do." "What that entails, I don't know." If Ukraine decides it's in their best interests to cede territory, then that's their call, but they haven't said any such thing yet, and that's exactly what Biden is acknowledging. In fact, Zelensky has said the exact opposite, and good on him.

Biden's own quote in that article doesn't match what the headline does (shocking for the bastion of journalistic integrity that is the NYP), but I'm assuming you didn't even read that far. "At the expense of the country and people of Ukraine." You really think we're going to buy the bullshit you're shoveling for a single moment? No one gives a fuck, Nabs.

Yes, Nabs, please do tell the class what a sovereign European country being invaded by a despot and having land forcibly taken from them has to do with "America's imperial interests." You sure seem willing to bend the knee to Putin.

And then there's this motherfucker.

Russia: *blasting Ukraining cities to rubble* The buttmunch: "The US is reducing an entire county to a lawless war zone."

"Meh, just let him have Czechoslovakia. That will surely bring peace in our time!"

I love that goddamn nut.

Not all of us.

The type of assholes who wave around AR-15s in public wouldn't have a goddamn clue what to do with them in an actual emergency situation.

No one needs a motherfucking assault rifle for self-defense. And yeah, that tweet rpgamer posted is pretty much confirmed fake.

If you feel the need to own an item that is solely designed to kill large numbers of people quickly, then you are mentally disturbed. Full stop. And I love that line of thinking. "We can't possibly stop all of the wrong people getting guns, so we shouldn't do anything to stop any of them." It's defeatist bullshit.

Okay, so I guess myself and the kids I teach are completely fucked then. Because we sure as shit don't have either the funding or physical infrastructure to make these changes. Thanks a ton. (Oh, and for the record, at least in PA private schools still receive state grants for non-religious textbooks. I'd imagine the same is true in many other states.)

So who pays for all of these new armed guards and metal detectors and fortified doors, Poof? Does that all come out of the already-strapped district budgets? What about private or religious-based schools? Is the local district on the hook for them too, or do they just have to fend for themselves?

Love me some FreeSpace:
