I've a love/hate relationship with Rogue Trader 40k. I fucking love it, literally everything about it, but I also hate it because it will end at some point.
Yeah, I'm already extremely suspicious at the convenience of his arrest, given that there has to be a repercussion shown to the 'plebs' - can't have them getting ideas now about the ease with which they could depose their ruling oligarchs and actually get away with it.
I didn't know about those details regarding the evidence being planted, so his statement makes much more sense with that context, thank you.
I'm unsure if he means his arrest is unjust due to the order of magnitude worse injustice of the healthcare system or Luigi stating he's not the culprit (vigilante, hero, The Adjuster - whatever noun floats your boat).
It seems like the former? Annoyingly unclear.
This is the thing, exactly! It's called The Banality of Evil. When Adolf Eichmann was being tried in Nuremberg for war crimes he committed in Auschwitz, it was widely remarked on about his lack of 'evilness'. The dude seemed like a mild mannered accountant, and by all means was, but he helped enact one of the most heinous and calculated acts of genocide in all of history.
Monsters are easy to point at and shudder, monstrous humanity is far harder to accept let alone vilify. This piece of shit CEO is firmly in the Eichmann camp of evil and we should fucking celebrate he's dead.
That's brilliantly told.
I think the problem here is the concurrent effects of climate change. The US couldn't have picked a worse time to move from flirting with facism to full-on marrying it.
You can deal with one crisis if you're coordinated enough but the chaos that's already occurring with the climate - and is set to become exponentially worse - doesn't give me much hope for a harmonious conclusion to this. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong and you're right.
If nothing else, I'm enjoying the cathartic rage sarcasm cropping up everywhere on this site.
There's also the problem that it's just not particularly funny. Jokes that punch down on minorities are always shit. Even 'ironically' they're usually shit. It's uncreative, it's the lowest common denominator and it also tells me the people thigh-slapping their way through the comedian's set are idiots at best, straight-up racist at worst. Given the context this set took place in, I think we can safely assume the latter here.
Bollocks, well played.
Unless you're a Mormon, then this is lies
That makes grim sense, actually. I hadn't bothered to check the bots sources in the slightest, so thank you both for taking the time to reply.
Why is this bot always blasted with down votes, lol
Very true. There's also the issue of giving birth. Women would have to be spun around like salad in a spinner in order to simulate Earth gravity but I imagine that's a perk for Elon.
The reason you're not ever living on Mars is that it has no magnetosphere. Good fucking luck surviving any length of time with constant ionising radiation slapping the shit out of your DNA. This fact alone should have shut down any discussion of feasibility about colonising Mars.
Although it does make the three-titted chick from Total Recall way more realistic.
Yeah, I dunno about that considering he promised to end world hunger if the UN could show him how the money was used. They did and he essentially told them to fuck off and donated it to himself instead: https://truthout.org/articles/musk-pledged-6b-to-solve-world-hunger-but-gave-it-to-his-own-foundation-instead/
The craziest thing about that is there's a video documenting the whole thing. It's on YouTube and well worth watching; probably one of the first, if not the first televised coup.
Saddam nonchalantly smoking a cigar while the auditorium's mood goes from confused to hysterical is something to behold. Properly chilling.
Found a clip narrated by the much missed Christopher Hitchens: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CR1X3zV6X5Y
