Come on, the bad guy is Mr. Krabs!

Internet tough guy over here. You go first.

If the choice is living on the street with your kids or living with your economically abusive boyfriend, most mothers will choose the safety of a roof over their children’s heads.

And to be clear, it’s not a gender thing or a heterosexual thing specifically, my example is just the most common one that I’ve seen personally in my life. At every shitty, cheap apartments I’ve ever lived in, there was always at least one couple matching this description, where a mother and her children were chained economically to some man not because she really loved him but because she needed his part of the income to take care of her children properly. Hell, it’s also the type of home I grew up in. However, I am sure there are plenty of men and LGBTQ+ people who end up being abused economically as well.

It looks like he’s shifting his knee forward uncomfortably because some weirdo in a Free Luigi shirt just slapped him on the ass.

This is how I end up suddenly getting the gumption to do chores at 3 in the morning.

Economic abuse is why affordable housing is a human rights issue.

Fuck it I honestly hope they do at this point. I’d love to see the USA corporate class knocked down a peg and brought down into the world they make everyone else live in and have to fight for scraps like we do. I’d like to see them lose all hope and chuck themselves out of windows like in the 1930s. The financialization of our economy has never left the citizenry more poor, and more than ever we have new and insidious technologies spying, listening, nudging, trying to create perfect complaint cow-like citizens. They all deserve to come down, the American business landscape is absolutely fucked and an absolute nightmare.

Sorry for the jaded cynicism about the whole thing. I’m probably just in a sour mood because I know the poor will get more untold suffering than the wealthy if it happens. There will be people starving in the streets while supermarkets put armed guards around food they throw away.

Let’s get embalmed baybee

when the internet starts getting videos of American soldiers getting killed by drones just like the ones with Russian soldiers we have right now.

The difference is the videos will only come from official Iranian government sources since there is otherwise an internet blackout in Iran, to which the Trump admin will obviously respond “it must be AI, cannot be trusted, Iranian government propaganda.” Meanwhile, like during Iraq, “embedded” US journalists will present a more rosy view of the conflict for US viewers at home while minimizing coverage of mounting evidence that the stories are true as US soldiers start leaking video themselves as conditions worsen.

He will stay in office until the midterms or Democrats are lucky enough to swing the midterms instead of handing Trump his stupid shit SAVE Act to fuck up the midterms. If that doesn’t happen, he will be in office until he is dead, and there is almost assuredly no coming back from this, despite how notoriously stupid the entire Trump administration is.

The TV show on HBO wasn’t, which may be what they’re referring to here.

“Humans are the real monsters ackshually” is a near-endlessly repeated theme in media, especially for example, a show like The Walking Dead where the real danger always seems to be other humans and the zombies are mostly an ancillary danger that humans learned to live/survive with in the world. It’s not that “humans are the real monsters” isn’t a valid and worthwhile position to take in your media, but there should be more interesting ideas that one can plumb out of horror, or at least that’s my opinion on it. Just seems like low hanging fruit type story to me.

“Step-Operating-System what are you doing!?”

Exactly as bad a love story as Twilight.

And you! You’re too fucking… Blond!

Sure looks like it.
