Miles O'Brien

WOAH there, slow down a bit.

He would never go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives.

He will send OTHER people, no point in getting his shoes dirty by actually going there.

It’s an American tradition.

Honestly I find Russian general’s belief in a 3 day offensive more credible than that.

Nearly 1000 days later, even.

I legitimately think he will die before ever seeing consequences.

The people in charge are too fucking scared to actually punish him because TERRORISM WORKS

They just straight up don’t want to punish people because they’re afraid some MAGAts might get mad and start continue to shoot things up.

They tried to murder members of congress and the vice president once, and nobody involved has recieved a punishment fitting of the crime. Certainly not the punishment we were taught happens when we were in school.

My old school didn’t understand why none of us wanted to use the shiny new dark green playground equipment on the large flat freshly sealed blacktop.

Never mind the fact that it’s too hot on the pavement, the tar sealant smells horrible, and the color choice of the equipment guarantees 2nd degree burns…

We wanted the grass and wooden equipment back. But the school though wood was too much maintenance, And grass grows too much.

I’m not gonna go check to see if kids are even using it anymore, but satellite imagery shows the playground is still just as gross.

“Yay, I get to legally murder someone today! This’ll shut up my hippy liberal relatives” -Metz, shortly before pulling up to the teen’s car

Oh is it time for another final warning again?

Damn, lost a bet. I thought for sure it would be at least two weeks.

You go right ahead and ignore the lever, I’m sure all the people on both sets of tracks understand you not wanting to get involved since it doesn’t benefit you to pull it.

They’re getting there, but so far it’s only a few users that I’ve noticed.

One guy seems to be following me around to attempt mockery.

They’re very much getting to “everyone who isn’t farther left than me is a right-wing nazi” mentality.

Well I mean… I sure hope not. I personally don’t see any reason to think it’s anything other than China trying to gain support from nations that are on the fence or don’t care about them, which to be clear is not a bad thing. They’re free to pursue any relations they desire, and the other nations are free to do the same. Hopefully the politicians involved are truly working for the betterment of both countries.

That said, the person making the shady deal would clearly say “it’s not a shady deal”, and the person duped by aforementioned shady deal would obviously not want to admit being duped by said shady deal. So everyone involved has every reason to say this anyway.

In other words: a lot of words to ultimately say nothing. Much like this comment.

It’s okay, you can swear here, I won’t tell mom.

glances around ^fuck

Same energy as Quinten Tarantino refusing to answer some questions about violence in media or using the N word in movies.

It’s been asked a thousand times, you have nothing new to add to this discussion, we’re moving on.

Guaranteed knockout, first time every time.

It works quite well against the cardies.

Hey look.

It’s my shocked face.

Can you tell I’m shocked?

I’m going for “shocked”.

😐

The whole point of that was to hilight how racist people like to call someone “educated” when what they really mean is “wow you sound white”

It was mocking the exact kind of person you seem to believe I am.

I always love when cough “educated” people (usually just what they like to say when they mean “not black”) go on about how “black people don’t speak proper English!” because certain vowels can be dropped here or there, grammar shifts, the works. Most of us have heard AAE (also maybe heard it called “Ebonics” if you’re a little older) at one point or another, and likely don’t have an issue understanding what anyone is saying. A few things that skew more metaphorical or slang words might slip by but you get the gist.

That’s the point of language. Convey information. If the information is conveyed, then language has done its job. Yay language.

If anyone wants to continue saying “it’s not PROPER English” well… I have bad news for you. Neither is any other modern form of English. So many words have been borrowed, or stolen, sentence structures have changed, entire words change meaning. And that’s just in the last 100 years.

English is an amalgamation of many different root languages, and has so many borrowed words and phrases, along with nearly every other modern language, can any of them still be said to be “proper”?

When I think of the difference between “proper English” and “improper English” I’m reminded of My Fair Lady. “The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain” Eliza vs Henry Higgins (or 'enry 'iggins if you’re feeling improper)

You could also just replace all that with "It’s a load of bullshit that data hoarding companies managed to convince EU lawmakers was a thing in order to legally hoard data they can’t otherwise legally hoard.

And I’m sure all the prisoners in the US are so thankful to have such an impressive rehabilitation system to ensure they don’t commit more crimes.

Just because the “official” purpose is one thing, don’t think for a second anyone who profits from it gives a shit. From the company manager who gets a bonus to the politician they paid off.

You know, the longer we live, the more people realize that in a CAPITAL based society, the people with the CAPITAL make the rules. And if they decided “no, we DON’T have to pay the fines that poors have to” then… That’s basically become all that happens.

“hey you did an illegal and/or a fine-able offence(the fines for which were determined at a time that doesn’t reflect modern profits for companies) but since we are being told you’re have lots of money, go ahead and keep doing it but pinky promise you’ll change eventually”

Just enough of a protest to make the unimportant people think you’ve done something, but not enough to do anything of substance.

And I honestly wonder just how long it will be before “the poors” and “the unimportant people” will have enough and decide to punish companies and their leaders themselves.

Because when you already make 10,000x more than the lowest paid workers, you really need that extra income.

I mean honestly, 175 MILLION is not enough, if I don’t have at least 15 BILLION am I even a real CEO

And any talk of raising wages is unconstitutional, and communist.
