WorkIsSlow,

But what if the person on the other side was parked over the line and I had to leave space to get out and then they left and now I look like I parked like an asshole and then some asshole uses that as an excuse to ding my car.

WorkIsSlow,

The article above, that you didn’t read, talks about the speaker of the house and surveyed Americans.

WorkIsSlow,

You have to lick your fingers after handling them like it’s cheeto dust.

WorkIsSlow,

There’s a section on his Wikipedia page about his political activism and work with politicians.

WorkIsSlow,

What the fuck are you talking about? Watch more shows.

WorkIsSlow,

After rereading my comment I’m sorry that I started out so aggressively. That wasn’t fair to you.

I think the feeling of fewer good shows coming out stems from a few places.

  1. The shows that we remember tend to be the ones that left a lasting impact. I think that when looking back it’s important to recognize our nostalgia tinted lense.
  2. The feeling that there’s so many more shows may come from the accessibility that streaming services have created. Scrolling through massive catalogs let’s us see the massive amount of options and how few of them we actually want to engage with. I’d argue that the ratio of good to bad shows isn’t substantially different from before, but how we engage with these shows have changed. Admittedly, I haven’t counted all of the good and bad recent shows and then compared that with the amount of good and bad shows from a couple decades ago.
  3. “They don’t make shows like they uses to,” is the type of thing people have said forever when their tastes stop developing and the cultural zeitgeist moves on without them.

In addition to the shows you mentioned, I would add, The Bear, The Last of Us, Arcane, and Our Flag Means Death.

I don’t wash my butthole because it’s dirty. I don’t want to touch that thing.

It’s too late for me to start.

Edit: I do wash my butthole. Don’t worry about me too much.

WorkIsSlow,

I literally just threw up. I feel better now though.

WorkIsSlow,

I’m not falling for that officer.

WorkIsSlow,

It was a joke about entrapment. It wasn’t an endorsement of America’s police.

WorkIsSlow,

This guy is jealous because he has a lame Rolex.

WorkIsSlow,

No clue why you’re being down voted. Youre right.

Gates chose to patent life saving medicine during a global pandemic.

The consequences of that decision are essentially withholding lifesaving medicine because it makes him more money.

WorkIsSlow,

There’s a big difference between a bigger slice of the pie and taking all of the pies and making everybody share the crumbs. It’s an incomprehensible wealth disparity.

WorkIsSlow,

It’s a consumers’ coop. I believe it’s set up so that members vote on the board of directors.

WorkIsSlow,

The irony of Bill Maher accusing others of being overconfident.

WorkIsSlow,

To be fair, this one could be dangerous. Other comments seem to acknowledge it is unpopular and explain why they disagree.

Additionally, the points/up votes don’t do anything except express approval/disapproval and show engagement.

WorkIsSlow,

A lot of lighter fluid and a lighter works great too!

Goodbye stickers!.. and house…

WorkIsSlow,

For thousands of years there have been people who told us things can’t go on like this.

Another reply pointed out that even if it’s true you have nothing better to do than try. Those in power benefit from our defeatist attitudes. I don’t blame you though. Shit looks grim.

WorkIsSlow,

Capitalism is so good. Would you rather be insert nation exploited by capitalists?

WorkIsSlow,

Gazans not having access to clean water and electricity at the hands of an oppressor is going to radicalize people against that oppressor.

I would like to reduce the casualties of Palestinian and Isreali citizens as much as possible. To come down harder on Palestinian civilians for the actions of Hamas is to send more people into the arms of Hamas.

Learn from the actions of the US post 9/11. The increase in terror attacks against US civilians was a consequence of US foreign policy. Isreal is not trying to have a humanitarian presence. Isreali people are hurt by the consequences of these oppressive policies.

Again, I am not justifying the actions of Hamas. Discussing the reasons for their actions is not an endorsement. If you want to stop systemic issuess you have to look at the root causes.

WorkIsSlow,

The Geneva Convention’s definition of genocide. “… any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group, such as: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; © Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”

You seem to defend a and b as necessary costs of doing business. Isreal’s frequent attacks on civilians, journalists, medical personnel, and humanitarian groups seem to conflict this. Look into the killings of clearly marked journalists.

I’d argue that c is met by Isreal’s control of Gaza’s water and power along with the targeting of hospitals.

The Geneva Convention on collective penalties. “No protected person may be punished for any offense he or she gas not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.”
