Baseball, huh?

They cared about their public image.

Well that would be nice if everyone was on board. But even if the people that hate him don’t turn up, the people that love him will. That would be enough for him.

Devils advocate: If we can say ACAB because even the “good” ones are complicit via not stepping in to stop the bad ones and letting the bad situations happen, why is this equivalent situation different?

At least Luthor is actually intelligent.

Yes! The tree lights up green if you’re pregnant and red if you’re not. It can flash between them while you’re waiting, and sometimes it will randomly hold just a tiny bit longer to keep suspense high.

I’d argue random online leftists criticizing non perfection is exactly why Trump won.

This isn’t to say we should turn a blind eye to or ignore the valid criticisms, and I get that people think that’s exactly what you’re saying if argue in this direction. It’s just, wouldn’t it be better if people were currently protesting and petitioning for Harris to do something about the issues they didn’t like her stance on, rather than protesting essentially illegal deportations in their own country?

I feel like it’s kinda missing the forest for the trees.

Exactly. I’m so tired of watching the left destroy themselves from the inside. Progress is slow. The right are clearly masters of playing the long game, they’ve been building to current events for decades. They’re happy to take the 10% wins bit by bit. They’re happy to make sacrifices for their progress.

Meanwhile the left demands nothing but perfection, and constantly cannibalises itself for not being perfect and revolutionising the world day 1.

You don’t have to suddenly love the guy, rewrite history, or swear loyalty. You just have to know when someone’s actually helping and not get in the way.

The right wins because they fight together. Business conservatives, evangelicals, fascists, libertarians. They might hate each other behind the scenes, but they march in line, and they’ll eat burnt toast with a smile if it gets them closer to running the kitchen.

With their fingers. Why do you think we invented touch screens.

They did make themselves clear and I respect them sticking to their principles if nothing else. I just hope it was really worth it to them if the republicans actually pull off a dictatorship like they’ve been promising. Like good job sticking it to those dems in the one election they might not ever get to rectify it.

And I hope it was worth it to them the people getting caught up in all the bullshit, such as having their lives ruined, being sent to prison for life, and dying, in the next 4 years regardless of whether they stay in power.

Again, at least the genocide they were worried about was averted, right.

I’m in Australia so I don’t need to make sure of anything over there, but I wish you all the best.

Cool, people not voting out of principle because they didn’t like the democrat enough is how the USA got here, but go ahead, keep trying that method.

At least Trump fixed all the overseas problems those people cared so much about, right?

Ross doesn’t live in the same building. Later on he moves into the building across the road from them though. Phoebe lives elsewhere as well.

When he tries to leave early on because he hates it so much they call him and offer a huge raise to get him to come back, so I think he’s more than just a random data entry guy that could easily be replaced.

A lot of people don’t actually realise just how much time passes between most episodes if you actually listen to context clues. Obviously there are some exceptions, but generally these shows are not supposed to be assumed to be real time in any sense. Some will have a thanksgiving episode and the next is Christmas or new years. People will mention they’ve been dating for months after a few episodes.

Some vaguely line up with being the week they aired in real life being the week it’s supposed to be in the show. But think about what that would mean. You’re seeing an entire week of their lives condensed into a 20-30 minute segment of highlights. Many episodes span several days of their lives. That means you’re seeing maybe 5-10 minutes of each day the episode involves.

Also what exactly is this a picture of

It doesn’t affect them getting paid, that’s correct.

But It does negatively affect their stats which can affect their ability to grow and get that video/their channel seen more. Youtube tracks things like retention and watch %, it matters.

Every time I’ve tried to use an alternative it hasn’t had anything that grabbed my interest. If you say I’m not looking hard enough, you’ve missed the point of why I’m currently on a short video platform instead of watching a TV show or movie. If I have to look hard you’ve already lost me.

100%. If I make fun of something or say something ironically, I have a hard rule of once only. There’s no need to harp on and beat the dead horse anyway. Once is enough to make your stance known.

Tbh I get it from a certain point of view. We all made fun of bitcoin at first but now it’s pretty common for people to wish they could tell their younger self to get as much as they can afford.

I get the idea of not wanting to miss out on the next thing that did that.
