So this one isn't necessarily about the poverty and struggle, but it definitely feels like a character in the life of the main protagonist: Blue Ruin

(action/suspense film, but mc lives in a car)

I know, and I'm glad of it, but look: tech companies DO fuck around. A lot. There are lots of ways to pressure individuals into cutting corners, and to pressure auditors and controllers to look the other way. The regulators might catch them, but there's a very real possibility that a tech company fucks up REAL bad before they get shut down. They have a very long history of it.

You can swear on here. Stop censoring memes, it's fucking dumb.

I'm a bit paranoid about neighbors stealing it. I live in a place where most people vote the way I do, but I'm still anxious about people just being assholes, or thinking I look like a conservative (I get it, I kinda do) even though I'm not.

I still mail mine in though, I just try to put it in my mailbox an hour before the carrier is gonna arrive to pick it up. Plus, I am subscribed to an email system that tells me when they get it.

And who's going to make sure these tech companies actually run a nuclear power plant responsibly? Have they ever run anything responsibly?

Unfortunately, the bees weren't attacking Mark Zuckerberg, they were just hanging out at the build site.

Who's getting therapy, is that the kid from Home Movies?

The whole thing is dumb if you accept a premise of "infinite monkeys". An infinite number of monkeys will type the works of shakespeare immediately, because an infinite number of them will start with the very first key they hit and continue until the end. (So it'll be complete exactly as fast as a monkey can type it, typing as fast as simianly possible, with no mistakes.) You don't even need the infinite time.

It only becomes interesting if you look at the finite scenarios.

And BTW, the lifespan of the universe is finite due to the eventual decay of all matter, including the monkeys and the typewriters. There's no infinite time.

The actress praised Harris, 60, for her support of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Err, do we really give a shit about exactly how old the frontrunner for POTUS is? That's the most important thing to put after her name in an article about this nightmare election? Is this some sort of People Mag editorial standard so we know whether each and every person being described is young enough to be fuckable? smdh

Do you think he's as sick to his stomach as everyone else

Trump is the market favorite because some rich dipshit was ballot stuffing. Ignore the market betting.

STOP. FUCKING. REPUBLICANS.

Look, I know women in these situations often have no easy way to get out from the financial situation they're in, or will be alone and unsafe with a vengeful partner. I feel terribly for anyone in that situation, and if I knew anyone like that personally I would offer to help them.

But don't fuck them in the first place.

Another way that works is just to catch them on a downward tangent to their current fall trajectory, but rapidly slowing down and then turning back up. It means your scenario has to have enough vertical space to perform this maneuver, but not necessarily a lot--even a very small downward deceleration will turn death into bruises, because it's like falling into padding.

This is a pretty funny bit, but 99% of people just see this bumper sticker and think "Another MAGA fuckhead". There's committing to the bit, and then there's whatever this is.

The question is, did Cartumante go to the Bad Dragon website for references or just... look over at the shelf.

I definitely thought it was weird that a lot of people were specifically blaming the comedian for the PR jokes. Like, yes, the jokes came out of his mouth, but they were laser targeted at his audience.

Glad to see Trump once again clearing up the confusion about who's the main villain.

Err, you actually can't kill 1.3 billion average americans. There aren't 1.3 billion Americans.

That's what gets me about this one. It's not just that they don't care until it affects them--it's how incredibly specific this one is. My dude, did you think that he hates Mexicans, South Americans, Dominicans, Haitians, literally every single person on Earth living south of the Texas border, EXCEPT Puerto Ricans?
