The people running for the lifeboats are all of the Muskies and Elon brain chipped billionaires thinking that Mars is going to be their refuge. (It's not, broken magnetosphere + toxic PCB soil = dead colony)

You should see how many American politicians are just as corrupt for less money, I was surprised when I saw Devin Nunes was only making $15K from one of the bribery schemes that was supporting him while he was in Congress. I guess it all comes down to knowing your worth to the scumbags you work for. 🤷‍♂️

These idiots should be excommunicated for worshipping a golden calf who has turned out to he the antichrist.

That's probably why the movie was titled Oppenheimer and not Hiroshima & Nagasaki, because the movie was focused on the man and his work and the regrets that came from that work, while nations celebrated the end of a second World War.

This movie was the type of movie that was always going to upset someone, and while it sucks that Japanese citizens were killed, their Emperor's military might was a brutally murderous raping scourge set loose on that section of the world, while also working with some of the other worst regimes of the world. Overall Japan fucked around and attacked first, did a lot of horrible shit to many different peoples, made some truly horrible friends, and then found out in one of the most devastating ways possible, I feel bad for the innocent civilians, but it was always ever going to end the way it did, if not a lot worse.

I'm just glad Japan grew to be what it is now and that it chose better ways to engage with the world than more attempts at domination, even though Anime, Manga, video games, and more have dominated the world's hearts.

Bullying goes unpunished everywhere, but especially after Trump's presidency, and now the problem is becoming systemic.

Ahem, we Marines call it "adapting and overcoming"

One of the smartest, nicest guys I thought I knew was a former NASA avionics systems engineer, his office walls held a bunch of patents from things this guy had designed over the years, I was okay with the conspiracy side of him, we could relate and bs about that stuff, but when he voted for Trump and began with the MAGA bs I couldn't deal with him anymore. So yeah, I agree completely, there are some really smart intelligent people getting sucked into this stuff and how do you tell someone that not only thinks they're smarter than you, but also you think they're smarter than you, that they're wrong, seems like an impossible task.

"I know I am in the right so I hold my head high knowing their day is coming"

This right here seems to be the biggest problem with conspiracy and conservative types, the unfailing certainty of their righteousness, this seems to be why you can't reason with them, and if you tie in their religion then they start with their surety that "God" is on their side.

Maybe if they had the strength of character to deal with their self-doubts rather than bolstering their infallibility by dismissing their doubts as weaknesses, maybe we could get somewhere with these people.

Did you know that there was also a White Panther Party? They were the anti-racist white allies of the BPP, imagine how many conservatives we could trigger by reviving that, since conservatives have tried their best to turn Antifa into Boogeymen.

Afaik the hurricane categories go up to 10, but the category stops mattering after a certain level because there's no construction standards that can withstand the winds once hurricanes are on that level or above.
