They called Obama the Deporter in Chief. Trump wishes he could get a nickname like that. Carter himself was a nice guy but his below average presidency led to Reagan.

Only time I deadname.

Could certainly put forth that folks had a choice between Malcolm X (or others, he’s just the first to spring to mind.) or MLK and decided on discretion, but really, I’m just meme’ing so lets not think on it too hard.

Me looking at the number of times nonviolence worked: Okay so MLK, Gandhi, and… uhh

Me looking at times violence worked: Opens “History of the World” to page 1, 10,000 BCE Oh this is going to take a while isn’t it.

You can only get more conservative when you have things to protect like a house and a pension.

my issue with firefox atm is that both twitter extensions I use have been hobbled/removed by it for what looks to me to be spurious reasons.

inb4 “lol @ using twitter in 2024” I just steal memes from it, and mastodon/bluesky simply aren’t up to speed yet.

Weighing options though I’ll go with Firefox and shitty twitter experience rather then Chrome and the ads everywhere experience. Not really a contest there. Just idle complaints.

imagine someone being so self centered that they think everyone has seen every meme theyve seen.

There is the tale (which has a grain of truth in it.) of how vaccination from chickenpox came to be via milkmaids and cowpox, so maybe folks think bird flu will work the same?

Billboard ads? Shitty but ehh not that bad overall. In game ads over radio or video? Nah miss me on that.

One of the things I don’t think about here.

Getting a large amount of downvotes on a regular basis might matter on the other site depending on various things like how automod is set up, but over here? My account could be net -1,000 on votes but its still only going to show how many submissions and comments I have on my profile.

You need to remember that Hollywood is risk averse. They are not making things to make art but to make profit. Thats why there’s like ten Fast and the Furious movies. Because they print money because car go fast boom explosion family.

When that realization hits home it makes perfect sense why we see remakes and adaptations and sequels. They already have a fanbase who will go see it.

Reminds me of a blog I followed about a guy having a castle built. He’d get contractors out for various bits and before they arrived they’d be like “oh its X for job Y” but when they got there and saw that it was for a castle, well magically the cost doubled.

Man who still has both arms gives two thumbs up to lava guy.
