@HelionRift @BODY_W0_WHORGAN Uh... You know what the Spanish did to the natives, right?
English
@BODY_W0_WHORGAN No you completely misread the ending. They are getting saved from their own primitivism and barbarianism.

Insane for Mel Gibson to make like this INCREDIBLY racist movie for like 99% of it only to sort of pull the rug and be like 'yeah what comes immediately after this is so much fucking worse' with one shot
Mac 🍃@ihymacc
I don’t think I will ever understand this particular scene…
English
@PeterDiamandis @elonmusk Why? How is this less expensive or easier to maintain in any way? What a damn liar.
English
Sundar Pichai just said data centers in space will be "the new normal" within a decade. @elonmusk has been saying this for years. When the CEO of Google starts agreeing with Elon, pay attention. The orbital compute era is closer than you think.

@NickelBagsArt @camhigby @libsoftiktok @Aetna This. They have to say why it’s not covered. Use the appeal process and file a complaint with your state’s dept of insurance to get assistance if need be. Ins companies hate that. Ask me how I know.
English
Last week I randomly got a $9,000 bill for a hospital visit from last year. I called them up and they said my insurance decided not to cover it. Why? Because.
.@Aetna can just decide they’re not interested in covering something and then you’re left with an inflated bill to pay out of pocket after the fact.
This is in addition to a $2,000 bill that I already paid. They just don’t want to cover it despite me paying a monthly premium.
Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare.
Honestly fuck you @Aetna. I’m gonna do everything I can to destroy you.
Riley Gaines@Riley_Gaines_
It's been 7 months since we had our baby and we're still receiving unexplained hospital bills in the mail. Hardly ever an adequate description of services. Just a QR code to pay online. It feels intentionally confusing and difficult to get answers. We want price transparency.

@Mr_Derivatives Why do they even need to be public? I'm serious. They're a niche sportswear brand
English
$LULU is now down 75% from ATH's and is threatening to take out the 2020 Covid lows with it being so close now.
Dire.
English
@micah_erfan Those justices were still liberals who believed in slop like "living constitution" like Sandra Day O'Connor.
O'Connor technically republican by your definition; but, she was for planned parenthood, abortion.
English
The Supreme Court has had a Republican Majority since 1969.
What the hell are you talking about?
Pro-America | Politics & Markets@Pro__Trading
The court was left leaning for 50 years. It's finally right leaning for a few years and the left is melting down.
English
@PattyMurray Women have killed more people through abortion than all wars combined in human history. I think it’s time to stop the genocide ladies.
English
The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't.
This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop.
I have no intention of letting this stand.
English
@ChestyMarine03 @ChristopherHale Yeah, that's not how the church works
English
@ChristopherHale Might as well destroy what little there is of the West Virginia Catholic Church. Most of the good folks in West Virginia don't want people like him in our country. People that break into your homeland. I'm sure that is why Christopher is overly ecstatic.
English
Saying you wouldn’t receive the Eucharist from a bishop because he immigrated from El Salvador is saying you aren’t functionally Catholic.
Cock of the Rock@pikedagger1868
@ChristopherHale Just a message from @Pontifex I would NEVER receive the Holy Eucharist from this choice. He will drive West Virginians out of the Catholic Church.
English
@FeralHeather Sure Heather. The former head of the FBI whose agency has had extensive dealings with the mob would be using it as a 'bouncer' term, when he could easily and without controversy have just said impeach or remove him from office. Esp. in the context of attempts on Trump's life.
English
I was a bartender. We 86’d people regularly. Meaning they were so drunk & belligerent we had to stop serving them & kicked them out to avoid losing our liquor license.
Outspoken™️@Out5p0ken
I worked mob cases across all five families. I transcribed wiretaps from payphones. Not once did anyone say “86” when they meant kill.
English
@The_Twenty_Two @shift_in2_turbo What about all the people that voted for him? Pretty sure they're most responsible.
English
@shift_in2_turbo Well, if most or all voted for anyone other than the dem candidate … that was a direct vote for Trump. But also, it seems this leftist shit is only here to sow division and chaos within the Democratic Party.
English
@unusual_whales Bet this number is up from 10 years ago. Religious rebound?
English
40% of young men are attending religious services regularly, per WaPo
English
@ferald_gord No, it’s because he was a race baiter, stoking racial tension and lies for political gain
English
i'm open to the idea that obama was more partisan than he seems now, but it's pretty key to understanding the GOP reaction to him was just horrifying racism. A black man became president and Republicans literally went insane.
John A. Daly@JohnDalyBooks
Folks, I'm well aware that Trump is on an entirely different level (I've argued that for over a decade). But the incapacity of so many Obama fans, to understand how even very Trump-critical people like me can find Obama needlessly partisan and polarizing, is stunning.
English
@BigP4P4Smurf @ferald_gord Yeah, the birthers were totally not racist.
English
@ferald_gord It wasn't his race it was his policies. The RW's favorite SCOTUS justice is Thomas. They constantly quote Thomas Sowell on economics. They nominated a black woman for Governor in VA and the RW voted for her.
English
@skumWgmi And few to none of the people that bitch about those working conditions will open a business, take on all the risk, and provide those benefits and wages.
English
Nobody wants to work anymore.
CORRECT. No one wants to work 50 hours a week for a salary that hasn't kept up with inflation since 1979, pay 40% of it in rent, get 10 days PTO, no sick days, no pension, no job security, and be told they're replaceable at any moment.
You solved it. That's the full sentence.
English
@Iloveourju9580 @solo_levelingx It's great for scammers and bots.
English
@solo_levelingx ive legit never seen a single useful application of that shit lmao and even if it popped into existence the costs are impossible without subsidies. fucking worthless tech
English
@TimFVB @DylanRatigan So it's fine that we killed those children?
English
@DylanRatigan Do you have any criticisms for how the IRGC conducts themselves?
Do you have any criticisms for our opponents in these wars? Are they doing everything the right way?
Is it their fault there is war in the ME or ours? Is it 50/50? 60/40? Or some other ratio?
English
How did Hamas force the American military to slaughter 168 Iranian school girls on the first day of the war?
ProForma@JoeRunsdagger66
@GBX_Press @DylanRatigan She should talk to Hamas, before she makes that statement. I amn’t in favor of this regime, Hamas brings this on themselves. Tunnels and munitions under schools and hospitals. They themselves say women and children will have to die for their cause! Focus on #WomenRights, maybe!
English
It's interesting how the people most worried about the SOH/energy crisis are also most skeptical of AI.
On the other hand, the most AI-pilled are dismissive of the SOH.
It's all a big Rorschach test...

@jeremykauffman @Cernovich I will die on the hill that "Trayvon Martin could have been my son" is the most destructive thing a president has ever said.
Racism died in the '90s & in that moment he completely revived it & simultaneously cut the achilles on American culture for decades.
English
Obama probably deserves more blame for ruining American racial relations than any living person.
This post, in which he calls it racist to not have black votes count for more than white votes, is a perfect example of why.
Barack Obama@BarackObama
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
