I just read half of this thread yesterday and the most recent half today and I don't want bad stuff to happen to that one poster I want them to be happy and live life to the fullest and continue their passion but I also want them to stop posting their awful pictures and also their awful words in this thread and just generally go away. Reading their posts was truly the most annoying part of reading this thread. I'm neither personally attacking them or insulting them, I just believe they're very, very, very annoying in the most boring possible way.

Guantanamo is still open and I still haven't let my breath out. While this takes time it would be nice for them to hurry up as my chest is starting to feel a bit tight. Knowing that many of the victims held by the USA there would also have been subjected to oxygen deprivation in many cruel tortures is keeping me going.


In other news I am glad to announce that Texas is now a socialist state. Welcome comrades.

I'm in Philadelphia where we have 100 degree swings in temperature in a normal 12 month period we have the infrastructure for snow and ice and severe wind but also most places have air conditioning. We've got our roads and things set up for floods and hurricanes. There won't be wildfires here because lots of water. If tornadoes start to happen more we are prepared because all our houses have basements. We're sort of ready for earthquakes because we had a ban on skyscrapers until 1984 and everything looks like poo poo already so a bunch of shakey shakeys wouldn't ruin the landscape too much. I can't see what disaster Philadelphia is not ready for.

hurricanes and rising sea levels

Fun fact: every time a hurricane has menaced the city of Philadelphia, since 1984, Bruce Springsteen has stood in a meadow south of Vineland and raised up his mighty arms and redirected the hurricane. Sometimes out to sea, sometimes east onto the resort towns of the Jersey Shore. He says he does it for the fans.

I just read the last few pages and I want to comment on the Soviet space program sending the first woman into space.

They sent one lady into space one time and then no other women for 20 years. It wasn't some woke statement about gender equality, it was box-checking and a propaganda exercise.

do you think people only care about Holocaust victims who had tattoos or something

I think that misconceptions and mythology create a greater distance between present-day people and the past. The more the Holocaust becomes a story, something with a beginning, middle, and end, the more we might start to think of it as a unique unpleasant thing from way back in the mists of history, rather than something that's a part of all of us right now.

Bill Burr absolutely has some racist transphobic poo poo inside his head but he recognizes his biases and tries to get past them. He's your lovely racist uncle, but he actually understands that he's wrong and is doing his loving best to not be such a piece of poo poo. Bill Burr is what you want broke-brained older people to be. You want them to admit they're wrong and try to change and you need to accept that they gently caress up sometimes. That doesn't mean you have to let them off the hook or endorse any of their pleistocene views.

that was Archie Bunker’s entire character. I’ve met a few guys who aspire to be like that but were really just dicks who didn’t want to get called out on it. I feel like it shouldn’t be that hard to get over those biases even if you grew up around those attitudes but for Bill Burr being stuck in that in between is a career choice.

He definitely errs on the Adam Carolla side sometimes and shouldn't ever be let off the hook for that but again at least he loving tries rather than just endlessly crutching on "I'm old and you're going to cancel me!!!"

This is from someone who thinks Philadelphia is the greatest city in the world. And Bill Burr is not a friend of Philadelphia.

Hey this is from two pages ago but I want to tell everyone about how the US government asked people to volunteer their family dogs for military service during WW2.

And how the government promised that after the war Fido would be returned to you safe and sound untouched by their experiences

From last page, but the Brits absolutely got on their high horse about how they were anti-slavery while still profiting off the labor of slaves in the American South and they did all they could to gently caress with us in the Civil War when the whole thing was a family dispute and none of their loving business
