    I know the cereal eating guy so I knew he would have to spit it out, but the 6 panels of heavy dialogue built up the tension and made it really sink the landing.

  • Is liking golf just a result of getting older or something? I have friends who love golf but I am forced to hide my power level around them

    I enjoy golf, play maybe once a year on public courses. I would never call it a sport and would gladly trade all golf courses for public land or housing. But it is a treat I will occasionally indulge in.

    I don't think Republican states will follow through on this, but Southern states taking Lincoln off the ballot was literally a prelude to the Civil War.

    Rage, rage for these people saying "People who don't support Kosovo intervention just don't know what it's about." And the clown who said that Grenada made a national holiday to support the US invading and overthrowing their communist government. Gee I wonder why the government installed by the US would celebrate that?

    Name recognition is all Biden had in 2020 and it's all he has now. Obama was an incredibly popular candidate and activated a lot of non voters (I don't have data on this). Biden got crowned because he had that Obama sheen still. Now he has the "beat Trump" clout.

    They tried to prop up several new Obamas in 2020 and it didn't work

    Direct action + electioneering is a viable means for a socialist party to take power. The only trouble is in the US the electioneering always takes precedence and there are structural mean to encourage that.

    Sidenote, I really enjoyed the Report starting Adam Driver. One downside was it painted Feinstein as a heroine when she was absolutely complicit in torture.

    Or how the RR impacted WW1? Short videos would be great too.

    Spoilers for the movie, obviously. How dare the US pretend like they would be the peaceful nation and that China would be belligerent the entire time. Don't get me wrong, it didn't stop me from enjoying the movie. The atmosphere, setting, plot, editing. Everything was so fantastic. The aliens, the themes about language and culture. And I know that it was a US made movie with US main characters, but everytime they mentioned China being hostile felt so cringe. I doubt Villanueve was being intentionally anti-China, he just needed a non US ally to be belligerent so the protagonists would have a clock to race against. But even having Russia in that role would make more sense. And even weirder that China was ruled by a general from the People's Liberation Army. Now this isn't me coming from a "China would never do anything bad" perspective. It's just silly pretending that the US wouldn't immediately send sidewinder missiles into that thing before it landed. The US would shoot first, second, and third before thinking to ask questions. The Chinese weather balloon tells us all we need to know about that. Now for the sake of the movie I was willing to accept the premise, but when it became all of the non West countries acting hostile it stung with me. I think I'm only ranting because it was such a good movie and the whole theme of language being the key to understanding culture was undermined by making China the Bad Guys. If this was a shlockier, worse movie I wouldn't care to complain about that detail. I haven't read the original short story, but I'm sure that it didn't have this element.

    New account but I've been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I've been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since ![reddit-logo](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/4aac8007-876f-4c7f-936d-b7eabf506ef4.png "reddit-logo") and everytime it's an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of ![pigpoop](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/4c081b2f-52d9-4e9c-b0de-a92d2e4030bb.png "pigpoop") people who wandered into the sub. I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let's enjoy it for now.
