For the record, this is just about totally wrong and what Rubio said is a perfectly valid interpretation of the actual text

AHHHHHHH THE ONLY REASON HE EVEN STAYS TO DIE AT TROY IN THE ILIAD IS TO AVENGE PATROCLUS. IT'S A POEM ABOUT HIS RAGE. THE OPENING LINES ARE PRETTY CLEAR WHY CAN'T A SINGLE DEFENDER OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION READ A SINGLE THING FROM THE WESTERN CANON AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Three things are inarguably true when Achilles decides to stay at Troy: - No one is forcing him to - He knows about his two potential fates - Patroclus is alive and in no immediate danger

For the record, this is just about totally wrong and what Rubio said is a perfectly valid interpretation of the actual text

“Stop listening to Peter Gabriel’s whip ass score to Last Temptation of Christ, no one else cares about the origin of the 90s world music kick.” Have you considered: doot doo wahh ahhh wahhh

let me preface this by saying I've had sex, and most of the people I've had sex with had pussies. what is a fifteen pound pussy.

[centristly] I have discovered the perfect compromise! All law enforcement officers permanently lose their right to vote

This is an extremely bad idea because I can easily see Trump's DOJ going after every single Democrat with trumped up treason charges. (He has already been using this language for years; this CNN article is from 2018) You have to remove the perverse incentives entirely.

I really hope that you, like, think you’re a hero for posting an IMDB link in response to a snappy quip I made 14 months ago that you didn’t understand

Here is a documentary with the latest, break through information about secret military chemical spraying experiments conducted on the innocent people when they moved into Pruitt-Igoe in the early 1950s and repeated again in the 1960s. www.imdb.com/title/tt1078...

You’ll notice that none of these people ever act this way about incredibly popular pieces of media that are strongly coded as diverse, progressive, urban, or – god forbid – liberal

Every person on this website who says they've never heard an Ed Sheeran song or heard of the song Choosin' Texas is gonna have sooooo many opinions about what the mainstream US voter actually wants to hear from the Democrats this fall.

Obama and the Democrats could have codified Roe but preferred it as a wedge issue to bring up every election cycle. That was a losing strategy that got us where we are. Genocide is evil and should be a redline for any human being.

Ed Sheeran has released a statement on Macklemore being removed from his tour for speaking up for Palestine: “I am not complicit. […] Just because I choose not to speak publicly, it doesn't mean I don't have [my own opinions], and it doesn't mean I don't care.”

Seeing as one of the first science fiction stories infamously has a twist ending where the aliens are literally people, it’s staggering how few people will recognize that obvious fact in metaphorical treatments

probably not purposefully fascist on behalf of the author, heinlein comes across politically confused more than anything. but the society depicted is fascist for sure. 'but they're not racist, they're multicultural' says the telegraph. no they're racist against the aliens, c'mon

Due to this arrangement, economists could only become real scientists by subtracting the value of all rental properties from GDP

Strictly speaking I don’t pay property tax – my landlord does – but in a much more real sense I work for a wage that my landlord takes and uses to pay their taxes. This is the case for the majority of all properties, commercial and residential, in the city where I live.

Being an American in the “Truman was a monster” camp had always made it very odd watching others still cling to the idea that America should have any place of authority over who does and does not have nuclear weapons.

Not the point but I can’t stop noticing that the eye lines are wrong on the profile shots

Do people just not write dialogue anymore? This entire scene feels like did a first draft with a bunch of "[insert joke line here]".
