hello birthday boy

I actually just started watching this today as well

are we just trying to one up each other with bad opinions rn

no please explain to me how to use this twitter dot com

he loves murdering Palestinians

though it isn't even that great for women. often, a woman saying she is bi is looked at as wanting attention or just trying to titillate men. it is probably worse for men though because women fear you are really just gay and men often don't want to associate with a man who likes men, or at least treat them different.

a lot of it just comes from the fact that being gay has been shunned for so long that you kind of had to just make a choice in the past. straight and gay cultures were very separate. not really so amongst younger more open minded folks, but the troubles are still there.

thats not funny, thats sad. sexual experience has nothing to do with sexual preference. the fact that women feel free to come out as bi and men do not is not "funny", its very bad.

brave to admit you do not know what the words erasure and disbelief mean

its still pretty questionable if you consider the amount of bi-erasure and bi-disbelief that happens

this show (and almost every show) would never kill someone in a subtle way

if you don't see him die like blatantly, he is alive

davos saying fewer was the highlight of the ep

The thiccwife thing is dumb because hes a dude making a post acting like he's a hero for thinking his wife is hot. Pretty simple.

This is not shocking basically all guys into wrestling are into dudes

So how did the student go

She's gone forever. Still, it's the most successful relationship I've ever had.

Is....Is she still alive?

virtually always has an impact

doesn't necessarily completely invalidate somethings value for me, but it hurts a lot especially depending on how important that viewpoint is to me.

gonna have to be more specific my dude

Love the greyscale plots entire consequence being keeping jorah away for two episodes

despite the massive amount of the books involving supernatural elements the show has removed a lot of it. the main dude showrunner is the guy who made troy without anything involving the gods. the fucking cover of winds of winter is a horn...in a book where a dragon horn might play a big role, and that plot has not even been introduced whatsoever. the only magic in this world is that people think this show is prestige tv and not an adolescent show because it has a lot of money spent on it.

I have in the past when I had more to give, I don't anymore because I don't have anything to give.

don't be more active this board is horrible

this show is so bad

love jaime "kingsslayer" lannister saying "nobody holds your actions against you later even if you made the world better/at peace"

jon snow and dany are such bad actors

FLCL made a joke of it, "Deep Mysteries of EVA." Deep mysteries? It's about a kid trying to man up and fight aliens (and get laid I guess). It's not deep at all.

Nothing is deep if you only look at the surface. It is a show with very complex characters and a significant amount of psychological and religious themes and subtext. If this isn't something that interests you, or you have issues with how it was all handled, it is fair to dislike the show, but don't pretend its not there at all.

a lot of the show characters have become very dour over the last few seasons. euron is basically the only character who seems to be enjoying himself. this is a pretty good explanation for why some fans have taken to him pretty quickly.

That's what I don't like tbqh he's super like cartoony. Combining Victarian and Euron seems like a mistake to begin with though. You can't effectively combine brutish dumbass soldier with intelligent charismatic sociopath pirate. It doesn't really work.

idk why you guys like Euron so much in the show

He kind of sucks. He is basically just a brute and doesn't have the sort of charisma you would expect.

netflix has created a significant amount of international content

whether or not its effective, idk, but they have

NGE is actually quite deep for an anime and the fact that the Christian symbolism employed is not specifically saying anything about Christianity is irrelevant to that.

If you are interested in psychology or even theology you will probably enjoy the series a lot. The manga is better, though, in my opinion.

lived in SK, been to mexico.

want to see japan, germany, ireland really bad.

not particularly interested in iraq and kuwait.

i hope this bill fails because pence can't work over murkowski unless her husband is also in the room

the GOP voter believes that people should be free to own as much as they want and would not hold having three houses against him (one was bought literally within the past couple years and one is a tiny fucking cabin - and he is one of the poorest members of congress) and the Dem voter sure isn't gonna think Bernie is more opulent than Donald fucking Trump (or Hillary for that matter). That line of attack is total horseshit.

Sure they'd hold it against him. I saw many Republicans attacking him over it when it looked like he didn't stand a shot at getting the nomination. You act like they are principled about their beliefs when they are not. Just look at how they attacked Obama for golfing, and how they ignore Trump golfing way more than Obama ever did. It wasn't about Golf, it was about Obama. They'd attack him over paying just a 13% tax rate when he wants to raise taxes. They'd say to people "See, he's not really one of you! He just pretends to be!" They'd point out how he's a career politician, while Trump is not. Trump is a businessman. He knows how to get things done.

those attacks are fox news filler bs, its throwing meat to the audience of drones... anyone who responds to that stuff isn't voting dem in the first place. you know that an overwhelming majority of voters do not even watch cable news at all, right? people fucking hate the media exactly for that kind of bullshit.

Well apparently a lot of voters though Hillary Clinton was more corrupt than Donald fucking Trump, which was also total horseshit.

I don't know what you are basing this off of. They both had tons of stories about possible corruption. Hillary got more votes than him. She primarily lost because she failed to turn out votes that Obama did turn out, not because she lost voters who thought she was corrupt.

If you voted for Hillary Clinton over Bernie you don't get to pull the "care about uninsured" card.

I voted for Bernie in the primaries, but when he lost and Hillary won, I voted for Hillary.

And I'm pulling the "care about uninsured" card on you.

find me which state me voting for hillary would have impacted the election plz

or which state you voting for a candidate who supported uni health care would have given us universal healthcare

if you wanna blame voters for our problems you are a dumbass

the problem is the wealthy powerful folks who control the puppet idiots in congress don't want us all to have healthcare.

No, people will blame Obamacare for the premium increase. Because it's been steadily rising under Obamacare for the last 7 years. And just a few months ago, our president promised that premiums would rise 50-100% this year if we keep Obamacare.

A big thing many libs don't understand is that no matter how shitty the gop is, regular folks will trust their lies because the democratic establishment seems to them like a bunch of wealthy, haughty, out of touch elitists from the big city. And since they are both lying crooks, might as well support the guys who speak your language, so to speak. Dems just kowtow to many GOP ideas and rhetoric, and they just come across as being fake. Democrats actively despise regular people, and while the GOP does in their policies, they are very good at manipulating them. Big reason why Bernie did better than Hillary among independents wasn't that he had yet to be attacked, like so many centrist pundits said, (he is currently the most popular politician in the us, after all), it was that he was far far better at coming across like a guy who understands and cares about regular folks.

I did and always have voted. If you voted for Hillary Clinton over Bernie you don't get to pull the "care about uninsured" card. And if people keep preferring to try to shame non or third party voters into supporting people they absolutely cannot stand and don't agree with rather than appealing to them on policy then the dems will continue to lose and the gop sociopaths will continue to win. Hell, you might even get a ton of support for a centrist if they were even willing to reform our elections so that it wasn't first past the post or entirely funded by interests making us an oligarchy. Because then at least people would have the hope of one day actually being represented.

Neither Bernie nor Hillary was getting single payer through Congress (and Bernie was assuming like 5% growth to make his math work) so you can cool it with the false equivalence

politics is not a game

peoples lives are not a game

being pragmatic is supporting what is right, fighting for what is right, and compromising when you HAVE to to get something better.

being a coward is supporting something horrible because you think it makes you seem more reasonable to racist sociopaths and wealthy oligarchs

You: "I want to have steak for dinner."

U.S. Electorate: "Well, we don't have any steak but I can make pasta if you want, or I guess there's some rotten bananas sitting in the cupboard."

You: "UGH, it doesn't matter, if it's not steak it's garbage!"

U.S. Electorate: "Okay, enjoy your rotting bananas."


me, dumbass: "all people should have healthcare"

you, wise: "I think only 15 million should not have healthcare"

you wanna talk pragmatic? Bernie supported universal healthcare. and he voted for obamacare because it was better and all he could get.

you wanna talk cowardice? all the dems who supported obamacare but did not support universal healthcare. but who is blamed as being the the problem? bernie.


And less than a decade ago the Dems did with a bigger majority and a far larger electoral win.


yeah, when they ran on the hope of change. and then they did incremental change that has almost entirely been repealed at this point. problem with barely making a dent is that its just as easy to get rid of it. when you make big changes that people actually want and love - Social Security, Medicare, the fucking idea of an 8 hour day, a weekend, etc....these are not easy things to take away. When you do a half measure that almost everyone hates, its very easy to get the support to get rid of it.

Didn't more people vote for not Donald Trump than for Donald Trump.

The gop owns every single level of government

your point is that the gop repealing obamacare won't hurt them at all because the people who want good things to happen don't vote, because our government is so hopelessly shitty and never represents the views of the people that there is no point?

it is over a year before midterms and several before the presidential election, there is no reason to believe this will matter.

Seven years of railing against Obamacare worked. Because everyone in the US needs health care and putting the blame the other side is one of the most successful techniques in politics.

No it isn't. the most successful technique is giving yourself a reason to vote for you. people wanted obamacare gone because their premiums kept going up - and the GOP said "we will get rid of obamacare" while the democrats said "we like obamacare". if the dems ran on universal healthcare then they would have been making a case to improve things, rather than saying "everything is fine". I know many people who voted for Trump literally just because Hillary was promising to be basically Obama and while they don't know the problems with society, they know something needed to change. regular people do not care about policy details or nuance, they just want to know you wanna try to change things for the better. blaming the other side matters for like 3% of the wishy washy voters, but there is a good 50+% of voters who don't vote at all that could easily be convinced to if you give them some reason to do so. if Hillary inspired people to believe in hope and change like Obama, and got the same % of young folks and minorities out to vote, she would be pres. Instead she ran on staying the course. Democrats will never win as long as they try to win over right wing voters instead of gaining the support of non-voters and third party voters.


btw after obamacare is gutted essentially the only part of obamas legacy that remains is increased surveillance state, increasing military presence in the middle east and vastly increasing drone strikes. incremental change is bullshit, and neoliberal centrism is the death of america because it buys into right wing poltiics so hard it has doomed us all.

Republicans ran on "we're gonna get rid of it and give you something better."

They're gonna get rid of it and give them something worse. A majority don't like what they're doing and that's gonna hurt them.

a majority don't like almost every single policy of the gop

but guess who fucking votes? the sociopaths that do like those things.

the gop has done horrible, unpopular things all the time and they still win because the democratic leadership is full of horrific centrists that make incredible numbers of voters not bother or vote third party.

And if people like you had voted for those "horrific centrists" we wouldn't be in this mess

We also wouldn't be if "people like you" had voted for Bernie Sanders.

/|\ plus obamacare itself leaves tens of millions of people uninsured. the man refused to fight for a public option, let alone universal healthcare. he had a super majority. obamas cowardice, dem senators belief that millions should be left uninsured are to blame for millions of americans deaths due to lack of care. obamacare was a heritage foundation right wing plan for healthcare designed to pad the wallets of the insurance industry. the democrats do not care about regular people.

McConnell can't be a genius if it took him 5-6 tries and ended up with a severely watered down bill of what they wanted to do. if this passes, it's probably a 50-50 one.

https://twitter.com/FoxNews/status/890757738543931393

Mitch doesn't care about the bill. We just want Obamacare dead to force the Democrats to work with the GOP to actually craft decent bipartisan legislation.

And that isn't gonna work because this is gonna kill Republicans chance to keep the congress and even the presidency in 2018 and 2020.

This is massively unpopular. This is how political careers die.

don't be a dumbass. the gop has done horrible, unpopular things all the time and they still win because the democratic leadership is full of horrific centrists that make incredible numbers of voters not bother or vote third party. universal healthcare polls more popular than obama care or the gop repeal, but it will never happen because our elected leaders do not represent the views of the general public and never have. say horrible, racist, sociopathic shit on media watched by angry old people and you win, period...because the vast majority of people do not believe that good things can happen because the opposition to these people tells us things like "single payer healthcare will never, ever happen". and this makes regular people not bother with politics at all. this topic is a circlejerk of people who pay attention to the 24 hour media cycle and most people do not. it is over a year before midterms and several before the presidential election, there is no reason to believe this will matter.

any person that does not support universal health care is a monster. this country is an evil imperialist empire that cares only about those with wealth and forsakes or actively seeks to harm the powerless and poor across the entire globe including its own borders. however we completely lack class consciousness so morons will keep supporting the assholes in power because they hate their neighbors more than the powerful people who fuck us all.

all mccains maverick shit comes down to is towing the line with reservations

hes a hack oligarch servant of capital and the idea hes any different is all a marketing gimmick

its not silly

john mccain is no hero, he is human garbage

you are saying basically "i mean its wrong to kill people but hes really good at it"

stuff just isn't going to make perfect sense as far as character motivations at this point. too many characters are being combined into one and everything is happening really fast to get us to certain points. the dornish forces in the books likely ally with Aegon, who doesn't exist in the show, and who is fighting Mace Tyrells forces..whose lands are currently being raided and occupied by Euron, who wants to marry Dany...there is just no way things play out the same, but the result has to be the same so character motivations end up secondary.
