In those days, in those distant days, in those nights, in those remote nights, in those years, in those distant years; in days of yore...

They really wanted to drive home just how old the tale is...

This will be much less funny when it's the black bag squad roaming around in unmarked vans kidnapping people for not having Trump's mark on them.

My dad legitimately thinks that's a great action movie. And to be fair, it is.

But he doesn't understand the deeper meanings.

More meat for the grinder is totally just a bad ass thing to say! Not at all like an orphan crushing machine, for sure.

My mother in law is absolutely convinced that democrats are going to go marching around with guns to drag her and her family out into the street to be executed.

If she realized there was still space to the left of "Democrat" on the politician field she'd have an aneurism.

That and they have way more free time to play endless hours of that game...

For an extra $1,000 I'll make you one that goes to 12

Statements dreamt up by the utterly deramged: "Hi, we are a new federated server. COMPLY WITH OUR RULES OR WE WILL NOT FEDERATE WITH YOU"

Rational people: "Okay, that was always allowed. Bye."

It's children whining about how life is unfair but instead of actually trying to do something about it now, they'd rather feel smugly superior as they do fuckall and "wait for the revolution" or whatever.

Do I believe positive change is quick or easy? Fuck no. It's hard work and it takes a ton of us working together. I harbor no illusions that my own singular voice will ever matter on a large scale, and I will happily take up my arms to defend the rights of those whose only crime is existing while lgbtq+/poc/whatever, but I'm gonna vote and campaign and everything I can do in the meantime.

Whether we're headed for a cliff as a species or not is irrelevant, I don't feel the need to hit the gas or sit back while mocking the people who are trying to stop the bus.

"Yay, I get to legally murder someone today! This'll shut up my hippy liberal relatives" -Metz, shortly before pulling up to the teen's car

I just assume like 75% of the people who read posts like this a believe the poster's intended message simply live in areas with such poor public transport, the idea that there are not only multiple busses running to the same destination, but those busses are full Is simply so alien to them, they just assume something fucky is going on.

I lived in a small city in Ohio, and I gotta say.... It was wild being in Columbus for a convention and being able to catch a bus on my own street within minutes of walking up to the stop, and seeing a mostly full bus.

The few times I used my home city's transportation, I had to leave early enough to walk a good mile to the nearest stop (where I had to wait about 20 minutes since the bus was 10 minutes late), and make all the appropriate transfers so that I get to work on time, and I was one of three people on the bus usually. And I arrived at my destination a full 45 minutes before I needed to be there, but it was that or walk for several hours both ways.

Functional public transport is an alien concept when your nearest neighbor is half a mile down the road.

"she wears that outfit"

Cool libel, Bro.

Seems like a lawyer should have advised against posting that.

"problem with authority" is just What authorities say when what they mean is "constantly questions our reasons and doesn't just immediately do what we SAY exactly as we MEAN it like a ~~good little puppet~~ beloved citizen"
