Four instructors have now successfully guessed where I’m from within a 10 mile radius and it’s like the first thing they said. It goes something like:
Instructor: “And which structure is this?”
Me:(My guess)
Instructor: “Are you from (Name of the town next to where I’m from)”

My accent must be too heavy. I’m self doxxing whenever I open my mouth. I should get speech therapy.

Basically

see there you go. Remember we are dealing with a ruling class who think getting industrial goods in return for an IOU is a rip off on behalf of the IOU writer. There is a layer of obfuscation between the money and the American government and that is why they’re mad currently. I am saying it is odd that they have not discovered that they can just ask for money directly by means of threats.

Sure that’s already indirectly a thing

The point is not that the US isn’t extracting value from their client state, the point is that current US leadership is venal enough that they would desire a direct extraction of species.

I don’t know why they haven’t stumbled into the idea of tributary nations. Sure that’s already indirectly a thing. But you can’t tell me it doesn’t appeal to Trump to demand protection money directly.

I couldn’t agree more. Even if I know on some level it makes me a bit entitled. I just don’t see why I should give more “grace” to my judgement of a product that takes as long as a documentary to make by people who sometimes have more stable incomes and better connections than a lot of entry level documentary film-makers.

There’s a bunch of 8 hour long recaps of various kid shows, and honestly I almost respect that. At least you’re putting in an honest 9-5 at that point, even if what you are making is slop.

I feel like given that video essays now have the turn around time of actual films, they should be judged by that standard. By which standards they’re all pretty bad.

Pope Calzonesquare

when we go high she farts low

That’s a valid. But myself im already teetering at the edge of dipshittery, I can’t take chances

I’m never gonna read Lacan because there has yet to be a non dipshit lacanian

It’s like saying not to be mad

in all possible situation involving me assume incompetence. Not just before malice, just assume incompetence

That’s not news, that’s olds

For some reason my brain read that last word as “Though” as if you were objecting. This is entirely my bad

In a post drag queen world you are telling me males can’t be divas i can’t read

That’s JD “Pope killer” Vance.

Did this deceased pope do the things I accuse him of, or did he not? Are the victims of systemic child abuse by the Catholic Church liars?
If you think the victims aren’t liars, then your objection here is irrelevant. Francis oversaw the systemic cover up of pedophilia, calling him a “pedopope” is just a statement of fact.
If you are calling the victims liars, then you can go fuck yourself.

It is valid to highlight the good done by Christians and the ways in which Christians can support and be a part of a socialist project, but I don’t think it’s necessary to pretend that the new testament is inherent socialist to do so.

It is not bigoted to call Francis out for his sanctioning of the pedophile cover ups, and his refusal to even allow the punishment of known child abusers (Nevermind punishing them himself, he sanctioned the intervention on their behalf to get them out of punishment). If a Christian is offended by someone pointing out that Francis didn’t do anything to end the church’s official doctrine of covering up sex crimes on behalf of its members, then quite frankly fuck that Christian, but fuck that Christian in particular. Most people, I suspect most catholics too, don’t think the pope should cover up pedophilia, and it is something over which the papacy and Francis himself has been criticised BY CATHOLICS, and pretending that isn’t the case is indicirectly accusing every Catholic of a crime of which they are not guilty.
