Tour de Pharmacy
It’s a mockumentary about the Tour de France, but everyone’s been kicked out for doping.
There are only 5 competitors left, Andy Sandberg, John Cena, Daveed Diggs, Orlando Bloom, and Freddie Highmore.
They’ve got the actual Lance Armstrong doing a “hidden informant” bit.
Each of the racers has a wacky backstory. Hijinks ensue. It’s a great time.
Not the best movie ever, but I had an absolute blast with it.
Skyward Sword?
This may be shocking to you, but there are actually Republicans who aren’t members of Congress.
Just because MAGA has captured a majority of the party and therefore wins most of the primaries doesn’t mean there are no non-MAGA republicans.
Also, there’s Susan Collins in the Senate, so that’s at least two.
I mean, in addition to what everyone else said, disabilities can in fact disqualify you from being a good president.
If someone is non-verbally autistic with an ID diagnosis, it’s not ableist to say they aren’t a good candidate to be president.
Obviously this is a spectrum, and ADHD shouldn’t be, on its face, disqualifying. But if it’s so bad you’re literally illiterate, then it’s no ableist to say that makes you a bad candidate to be president.
It is in fact possible to be both Republican and vehemently against the current regime. There are plenty of die-hard Republicans who have vocally hated Trump for the past decade.
That doesn’t mean he has good politics, but you can have bad politics and still hate the out-and-out Nazis.
To be fair, the “change one” part is wrong. Two particles that are quantum entangled maintain the same quantum state when separated. But if you change the quantum state of one it doesn’t propogate. They are just in sync.
Weird. Not sure why. It was definitely this account. Here’s a permalink:
It it? I feel like anyone paying attention knew this is how it was going to go.
Heck, look at my post history. I offered 3:1 odds on this over a week ago.
This supreme court has some loons on it, but if you thought they were gonna rule against California here you haven’t been paying attention.
Look, this is gross. I’m no TPUSA apologist, nor am I a fan of the Kirks. But I’ve had major tragedies happen in my life and had to continue work and put on a brace face.
People compartmentalize. People throw themselves into work/causes to separate themselves from the grief.
There is no wrong way to grieve, and it feels twelve types of misogynistic to be like “this woman isn’t an inconsolable sobbing wreck every minute since her husband died!? She must be a sociopath.”
Her politics are despicable, but that doesn’t mean she’s the physical embodiment of Satan himself, and nothing is gained by policing how other people grieve.
There’s a lot of unjustified doomerism here. The article even says that Alito has basically already called the California gerrymander acceptable.
I’d give 3:1 odds that they don’t overturn it.
Honestly, I’d be surprised if the results were any worse than 1-8, and that only because Clarence Thomas is a literal psychopath. Maybe 2-7. Alito is two-faced as all hell.
Thicker rope would presumably have a higher test value though, and it seems that most people interpret the hempen rope in 5e as being under 800-test.
Why did they use a picture of SCOTUS that’s two justices out of date? This article was posted today. And they captioned it with all the justices names and locations in the picture, so it had to be intentional.
The disparity is because 4yrs vs 1. It’s less under Biden year over year.
I mean, I don’t think there’s never a scenario where we can interdict shipments. Sanctions are important. If Venezuela had been shipping nuclear fissile material to North Korea and we stopped that boat, I’d probably be on board.
The argument for this one was that it was oil being sent to sanctioned nations. I’ve not seen any convincing evidence that that was the case though. And, even if it was, I’m unconvinced oil shipments rise to the level of interdiction.
But I say all that to say the world isn’t black and white. While I agree this interdiction was wrong and Jessie Waters is an idiot, that doesn’t mean that we can paint all US interdictions as obviously bad. Each must be weighed on its own merits.
As opposed to the US which has a famously inland capital. :P
Is it possible for Chic-fil-a to ever redeem itself in your eyes?
If they fired everyone involved with every controversy and started donating every cent of profit to LGBT charity groups, would you say they were a good company, or is it once tainted always tainted.
Chic-fil-a has made a lot of changes in the past decade and a half, and I’m of the opinion that, if no amount of self reflection and change can ever make us reconsider our condemnation, then there’s no reason for anything to try and change, as it won’t stop the hate.
Not that Chic-fil-a is perfect, but I would argue they are now as good or better than any other fast food chain we’re not actively hating on. They actually pay their employees more than minimum wage and give them one guaranteed weekend day off if nothing else.
So why continue to put them down now that it’s “mission accomplished?” If the goal was for them to change, and they have, it seems that we should bring them back into the fold, no?
I would argue that nothing is ever an intrinsic part of one’s identity.
I think there are things society puts a lot of emphasis on, like career or sexual orientation, that are elevated in a way that makes us assume they have to be part of someone’s “identity,” but that’s not some universal law. It’s a societal construct.
I like peanut butter sandwiches. I would never say “I identify as a peanut butter sandwich fan.” But here’s the thing, some people do. There’s somebody out there who’s got 50 different “PB Sandos 4 Life” Tshirts, and has a YouTube channel dedicated to trying all the different brands of PB, and wants to be buried on the JIF plantation. For that guy, peanut butter sandwiches are part of his identity.
And in the same way there are plenty of gay people (who are born that way, to be clear, I’m not arguing being gay is a choice) for whom their sexual orientation are not part of their “identity.” They are unquestionably gay, but don’t participate in the larger gay community, and if you asked them who they are, being gay wouldn’t be in the top 10 things they say about themselves, any more than most straight people would list “heterosexual” in their top 10 things about themselves.
Now, that’s hard in our current societal context, as it puts so much emphasis on who you’re sleeping with in a way that drives people who don’t “fit the mold” to (very reasonably) band together for solidarity and support, but that doesn’t make it intrinsically part of your identity.
All that to say, identity is a tricky thing, and I would argue that it’s far too fluid to say that literally anything is intrinsically part of it.
I mean, you’re not necessarily incorrect, but I think it’s a far cry from having whites only water fountains.
Like, yeah, systematic racism has huge implications that still affect millions of people, but to say that it’s the same as when restaurants and stores were legally banning minorities from shopping at them is a bit intellectually dishonest.
The post isn’t saying that there is no racism or division. It’s saying that it’s clearly not “the worst it’s ever been.”
I feel like their analysis is, “it would be costly and risky so they probably won’t do it,” which could be said for literally any war ever. I’m not sure I find it a particularly compelling argument.
That’s the prevailing opinion certainly, but there’s a pretty diehard contingent who love it. That it just gets a bad rep because it gets compared to the masterpiece that was Twilight Princess.
Can’t say myself, as I’ve never played it, but I’ve got a few friends who are huge proponents of it and would say it’s underrated.
And, to be fair, something doesn’t have to be good to be underrated. People hate Skyward Sword, and I assume it’s not actually terrible. Just on the low end of Zelda games.
