protestors have every right to reenact every scene from the highway chase in the matrix reloaded

The soundtrack is wild because it's my understanding that while Beck wrote/produced the music, the actors playing the members of Sex Bob-omb actually recorded it while playing their characters' respective instruments (or at least they were involved in some of the songs)

like that's actually Michael Cera playing bass on the soundtrack and that's cool as hell. I love when movies seem like everyone involved was having a super fun time.

Let me contact a few Palestinians to tell them they expect far too much and they'll never be happy

Seriously think about who you're going to bat for. You're comparing different flavors of Hitler and defending one.

Tasers can cause heart attacks, tear gas can cause asphyxiation, I don't even have to get into what those extendable metal batons can do.

Does everyone remember that one week where Biden was advocating that cops shoot people in the legs and libs were a little confused on how to message that? Half were ignoring it and the other half were trying to earnestly say shooting people in the legs would save lives (it wouldn't).

Fun fact there's no reliably non-lethal way to shoot someone with a firearm. If you're shooting someone, you're attempting to kill them. People have watched way too many movies where the Terminator or whatever will shoot someone in the thigh with expert accuracy, leaving their target in pain and immobilized, but alive. Yeah no. People are twitchy and don't have perfect accuracy. You're trained to fire at center mass not because that's the best location to shoot a person, but because that's where you're most likely to hit. If you're aiming for a leg you might as well be aiming at their groin, the ground, or even their head. And even if by some miracle you do manage to hit precisely in the leg as a non-lethal technique, good job you just lacerated the target's femoral artery and they'll bleed out in 3 minutes.

I fucking hate cops

AI has determined the culprit is a statue of Jesus with abs and 14 fingers riding a school bus made of American flags

This reminds me of the game Lunacid. It has mandatory pronoun selection at the beginning and there are like 20 of them. Every NPC refers to you only by name so the pronoun selection was put in specifically to annoy gamer chuds and I'm all for it

The common folk are simple billionaires. The elites are baristas with blue hair and gender.

shooter took several half-measures. Used a low caliber firearm. Didn't aim for Trump's torso.

Just poor showing overall. They should have called you, Mike

I couldn't be within 50 feet of Hillary Clinton without attempting to strangle her and screaming "This is for the Libyan people"

Maybe I'm just built different or maybe I'm not a liberal

the misconception I hear a lot is that riding transit means you're stuck "on someone else's schedule" whereas driving a car apparently gives you a greater ability to travel whenever you want. People who say this must believe traffic is like a random force of nature that can't be managed rather than something that happens on clear time tables. They also must believe transit is always unreliable and buses only arrive every 5 hours or something, which is a fair belief if they're american.

In a properly operating mass transit system you're never going to be waiting for more than maybe 15 minutes for the next bus/train/trolley to arrive. You show up at the station whenever you like if it's reliable. I've never had to wait more than several minutes to get moving when I've been to China and Japan. I've only experienced two delays on Japanese trains too. Once was an earthquake and the other was an injured monkey on the tracks (the monkey was evacuated to safety).

Oh this has got to be why he's so prissy about the words gusano and cracker. I swear he's convinced half of reddit that cracker is an unspeakable slur

I remember reading that when Utah did their ban on trans athletes in school sports, there was exactly one trans girl playing in a girls' sport in the whole state. Exactly one. Statewide legislature passing laws focused on one person, a child.

All this scrutiny and transphobia is directed at literal children, many of whom might be the only trans athlete out of millions. Transphobia is such a disgusting thing to me, not only because of the chauvinism and bigotry, but because it's just so senseless. Trans people are already rare enough as it is and also one of the most vulnerable populations in regards to poverty, assault, unemployment, etc. I've seen some statistics saying that only around 1,000 people in America initiate HRT per year. That should give an idea of just how rare and vulnerable trans people are. And now there's a senseless cultural panic just to whip up a few more eyeballs on the spectacle?

Death to America
