Good. That shit is a swimming pool for rats. If you can get drunk and drown in your pizza then it isn't a real pizza. It's a fucking casserole. The sauce is like a whore on the street corner: cold, alone, completely exposed and unwanted. Chicago-style pizza is an affront to all that is holy in this world--a fucking war crime without the war.

You mean, let me understand this cause, you know maybe it's me, it's a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fucking amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

If a rat can't drag a slice down the stairs without drowning, it's not real pizza!

i really dislike deep dish too but do we really gotta throw sex workers under the bus to take a shot at a plate of slop

They've moved on to hassling support when canceling their Disney plus subs now. These people are truly insane

If people genuinely want to do it, don’t see the problem. Seems that late night hosts are pissed.  

Trump and Barr also cannot stop making this thing bigger by going full retard.

What are you talking about my post has nothing to do with canceling their subscriptions

Didn’t know what hassle meant.  Sorry.

I'm not gonna lie but posting here makes me feel nervous sometimes. You know how every political thread has a troll poster that sacrifices their account to say something extremely stupid or offensive? I feel like those trolls are just combing through these forums now and looking for anti-Trump comments to share in some massive package to be delivered to the Trump admin. I know crazy, but if shit gets worse feels like they coming after everyone dissenting

I'm just going to say this: we're owned by an EU company. So if Trump tries something I get to tell him to go fuck himself. So don't bother worrying. We're set up pretty good to insulate everyone from Trump's bullshit.

FAFO

This is honestly madness as American. I don't know at what point we become a dictatorship or if that point is long passed. It's like trying to watch your kids or pets grow when you are with them every day. You don't notice them grow daily, but after a number of months or years, you wonder how they grew so much, and you barely noticed it. You're locked into daily life and can't step outside of your perspective.

It's the same with Trump. I can't believe how FAST everything is happening. Even if you realize it's over a decade since Trump got elected, I would have never thought when Obama was president and things were relatively calm, that America would soon become a dictatorship or very close to one. Moreover, I never would have thought that Trump would be the guy to pull if off. He was a joke and tabloid fodder for most of my life. I didn't take him seriously either even with his Apprentice comeback. And I thought he was done for good after 2020 and January 6th, but here we are. He's stronger and more evil than ever.

Tl:dr. I don't know the answer to the question other than to feel stunned, confused, and like I'm living in a dream, but maybe you do. Is America a dictatorship?

I mean....Obama intervened in Libya without congress for longer than the 60-day War Powers resolution limit.  He assassinated an American citizen without judicial process because he was related to a terrorist, and killed a few other Americans with drone strikes, and never faced accountability for it.  He oversaw the NSA bulk data collection program on citizens and tried to expand DACA and DAPA with executive actions to take control of deportation deferrals....all that sounds kinda dictatorial, but yeah, not as exciting as a talk show host getting fired.

also he visited Flint and blatantly drank water in front of the whole town as if to pretend that everything was ok and completely fixed

China does China things. 

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Wait, no I'm not.

Sinophobic post? 

China has more domestic brands making more cars than the world's biggest car market can absorb because the industry is striving to hit production targets influenced by government policy, instead of consumer demand, a Reuters examination has found

I'm anxiously waiting for the Booshka post

They're almost too car pilled already, but at least the air quality is a lot better with the increasing EV adoption. Personal motor vehicles aren't sustainable in the long term, but in the short term getting ICE vehicles off the road literally saves lives from air pollution, and it secures some more energy sovereignty.

I don't think it will destroy their economy or anything though, I have seen enough China collapse thumbnails on YouTube and "but at what cost?" NYT articles to see that the opposite is true. Especially now that worldwide institutions are finally admitting that a global green transition is only possible by utilizing China as the manufacturing hub of the world.

I am not going to buy the next team cherry game blind, like I did with Silksong. I thought the difficulty of the game would be in line with Hollow Knight. Like they said in the 2020 interview. That was not the case.

In China you can't leave your region without state permission. Booshka thinks this is already too much personal sovereignty and simply declares by fiat that it's not "sustainable in the long term" and probably nobody there objects even though this isn't based on anything. Neither "sustainable" or "long term" will be defined, but we know it's true from these two variables alone.

I also find it hilarious that supposed Marxists are now arguing for autarkic states rather than an "international" of socialist societies. Ironic that they're all brave anti-fascists while adopting fascism's central economic premise.

But that's not the most offensive part, the most offensive part is they continue down that path rather than recognizing that this proves the truth of the invincible theory of Juche.

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Why would you want to leave your region when the local government provides you with what you need to live a healthy life? Local farmlands and small towns die because the young flock to the cities! This hurts everyone and only those who absolutely have the ability to become something in the the city and other provinces will, with government guidance, go on to help better the country. Those who do not have the means? They are better to be the farm hands and take pride in it instead of becoming vagrants or drug users in the cities like they do in the west. All those poor young folx rushing to Hollywood only to go no where. Maybe if they couldn't have left their region of birth and found proper jobs there they would be fine.

 You know this is true, Benji.

  benji, fact check yourself bitch

But almost immediately after FCC chair Brendan Carr’s appearance on Benny Johnson’s podcast, the storm of shit “became a bigger swirl.”

Within hours, multiple ABC station owners held calls with senior Disney leadership expressing their concern with the comments, a second source tells THR.

Inside of ABC, “multiple conversations” with Kimmel were had at the “executive level,” the first person says, though the talks had not yet reached Bob Iger or TV head Dana Walden. The execs wanted to know: How was Kimmel going to address the situation on Wednesday night’s show?

The answer was not satisfactory to management, sources say. Meanwhile, the advertiser calls began to roll in and then the big affiliate conglomerates, Nexstar and Sinclair, threatened to preempt the show. The second source says that the blowback was snowballing enough that had ABC not acted, Kimmel’s show would have been dark in a large swath of the country, even beyond the Sinclair and Nexstar territories (including in the Washington, D.C., metro area).

The situation became a safety issue as Disney employees saw their emails doxxed, per the first source — some even received death threats. Disney wanted Kimmel to address the situation in a way that “would take down the temperature,” but what he had planned was “going to fan the flames with the MAGA fan base,” the source says.

A source at Jimmy Kimmel Live! counters to THR that Kimmel’s planned on-air address was not “making it worse,” but that he simply “wasn’t kowtowing” to the outrage.

Kimmel was “defending what he said [as] being grossly mischaracterized by a certain group of people,” the show source says.

THR reported on Wednesday that Kimmel did not plan to apologize for his comments, but did plan to address the situation on-air.

Talks between Kimmel and Disney/ABC hit enough of a stalemate that executives there decided Wednesday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! had run out of time to be salvaged. The show’s live-to-tape time was not far off — the studio audience was lined up outside but had not yet been brought in. (Jimmy Kimmel Live! tapes live at 4 p.m. PT.)

By this point, 66 of the roughly 200 affiliate stations had said they would not carry the episode — that’s when ABC announced it was suspending the program — a Bob Iger and Dana Walden joint decision that was a “last resort,” the first person says. Walden delivered the news to Kimmel but did not ask him to apologize, says the source, who described Wednesday as “a very heavy, very hard day” inside the walls of Disney and ABC.

Disney is still trying to find a path back to Jimmy Kimmel Live!, according to the source. At the top, executives are hopeful, but note that the future is up to Kimmel’s willingness to participate in the cooling-off process.

See, cancelling Disney+ is siding with fascists.

And from the WSJ if you want to believe this.

Uncle might be this place’s Echo’s, or soon, Melody.

if you believe a post is inaccurate, the least you could do is articulate how you disagree with it, as a mr. lonewulfeus was kind enough to do

unless you just feel this vague seething desire to push back, while not having any fully-formed thoughts to communicate anything specific

If I tell you to go fuck yourself is that specific enough

Hey hey hey, we don't use that language around here. We tell each other to eat my whole arse thank you very much.

In case you're still doubting that fascism and the genocide is here:

A self-described “child-protection organization” which campaigned for normalizing pedophilia as a sexual identity has ceased operations citing a “shift” in the political “climate.” Established in 2018, the Prostasia Foundation was a charity registered in the state of California that has advocated for the rights of “minor-attracted persons,” or MAPs.

Despite claiming to be motivated by a desire to eradicate child sexual abuse, the organization’s efforts had dedicated themselves to crusades against child pornography bans, letter-writing campaigns to state representatives demanding child-like sex dolls be kept legal, and funding research into “fantasy sexual outlets” for pedophiles. Prostasia has also condemned anti-pedophile sentiment as harmful “Nazi-like” rhetoric and called for its mass censorship across social media.

A recent announcement published in Prostasia’s September Newsletter explains that the charity has terminated operations, with the charity’s blog and social media accounts being permanently archived.

“When Prostasia was founded in 2018, there was a spirit of greater openness to evidence-based discussions of CSA and its connection with pedophilia and to non-carceral approaches to preventing sexual violence,” reads the statement. “But in the years that followed, until 2021 when Prostasia was at its most active, the climate shifted. Movements across the political spectrum hardened the discourse, and our mission became increasingly contentious.”

Prostasia’s announcement further claims that the organization “faced a persistent wave of misinformation and smear campaigns,” leading to an “uphill battle” to continue their MAP advocacy.
