Don't know what's worse the puns or the fact the father apparently doesn't know how biology works.

There's a part of me that almost sort of is glad the US is only finally developing a real left-wing so late, because countries that have had it for decades have a bunch of really old lichen covered left-conservative fossils floating around who are into dumbass tankie shit.

Defending authoritarian regimes because of retarded "it's cool when my side does it" is the very exact definition of Tankie.
Which is further extra retarded because Putin is not the reincarnation of the USSR, but actually a very right-wing mafia boss ruling a nightmarish capitalist kleptocracy. Wherein the "left-conservative" part comes in.
Also please keep handwaving Venezuela apologetics on the forum where we have essentially a refugee from there. That's very cool.
It's super progressive to be really into a dumbass international scorekeeping FUCK U DAD game and not actually gives a shit about people's lives.
Oh and one last "Fuck you" for handwaving Putin apologetics because oh yeah, that shitheel fucked my country too.

Although I think Russia's behind it too, I don't see anything unreasonable about Corbyn's quotes here. He's basically saying "let's not make any rash desicions and wait for the evidence before we make a huge mistake". Though it depends how overwhelming the evidence is right now.

Do you know if TheLabour and LaFranceInsoumise are halfly supporting their leaders on the matter of Venezuela and Putin ?
Hence why there is a difference between western-european old men and latin america where political parties are insanely extremists. Like completely and entirely crazy. Not just an old men leading a party.

I know that the DNC is blaming ONLY Putin for this election. But no, the american people fucked up their country on their own. They don't need the help of memes and pepe the frog to elect a far-right winger, they did it in the past and they'll do it again.
Also, puting quotation marks is making it okay to say fuck you somehow

Not far from me either. Hopefully they've found all the bombs.
I hope so too and I hope this doesn't inspire any copycats
The terrorist (who won’t be called a terrorist) is a reactionary white dude.
For anyone who wants to root through it, here's his Student Blog which is how we know he's a self-professed conservative with awful views.
Why do all of these putrid rancid garbage people end themselves before they can be caught to answer for their crimes?
What are they afraid of? If these monsters really think themselves so superior and killing people of other races so necessary, why not be proud of your evil?
I know some people might have the reaction of "Good Riddance" to him being dead but I always hate this. I hate that he got to go on a monstrous rampage and then go out on his own terms. I prefer these monsters be forced to actually answer for their crimes in a court of law.
Still glad to know he's out of the picture. Hoping they don't end up finding any bombs he put in place before ending his worthless life.

It's funny how his blogs were posted in 2012 but when I checked the comment box in one of his article, they were mostly recent. I guess this guy really wanted attention. It's also really sad.
In fact, this kind of pattern is something always common with crimes like this. Back in 2011, senator Gabrielle Dee Giffords was shot by a guy who wrote insane crap on his website. Serial arson, killer, bombers, etc, usually write awful views or sent message on videos. It's like these people were trying to get something done but it ends up backfiring.
Honestly posting for the headline alone as much as anything:

Just a few posts below seeing that article on a friend's FB feed, I saw this one:
Some guy was shot 20 times when the cops thought he had a gun when he was actually holding a phone. One guess as to what his race was.

PornHub greets bloggers after YouTube gun ban introduced
http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-43500714?SThisFB
YouTube has banned videos that show people how to manufacture or modify guns and their accessories.
It had already banned videos linked to the sale of guns and accessories.
Many firearms enthusiasts noticed that some of their videos had been removed from the video-sharing website and some had their channels suspended.
Prominent gun video-bloggers said the move was an erosion of US citizens' rights, and some said they would move their content to PornHub instead.
Those poor poor snowflakes having their gun customization videos removed.
But… how would gun videos look on a pornsite?
@S.C.:
Very sexy. :ninja:
Well, if you're into that stuff, as long as no one's getting hurt, I guess it's okay :ninja:

You know there's not a lot of handsome gun nuts out there. Usually, they've always got a beard and a big paunch. That's why Pornhub took it over to give it a makeover.

I'm more into moustaches personally, and the only gun I need is between my legs between my non-existant boyfriend's legs a glue gun for cosplay.
well,
is actually a thing. So I guess it was only a matter of time before they do the same with gunsAmmosexuals is a term that'll probably blow up over the next few weeks lol.

Apparently thanks to this, TIL Pornhub is actually a Canadian company.
What does it really have to do with the Chinese government ?
Speaking of space. I don't get people worshiping Elon Musk, the guy is just a crazy person. "muh let's establish colonies on Mars" but– why????? For whatever reason it will "push humanity forward". At least it'll be cheaper to launch satellites I guess....
At the rate we're going, Mars may be our only escape.
From bigotry, climate change or both (which is kind of the same thing) ?
And how so ? Because in the end, even in the following centuries earth will be more livable than Mars is for humans.
Anyway, only the part about going to Mars is insane. The rest is great/useful
What does it really have to do with the Chinese government ?
I have to agree with you there, unless there's something I'm missing, I don't see why its the fault of the Chinese govt.
Space travel and tech in space are tricky things. They can be built to perfection but it takes only one solar storm to overload it and cause it to shut down. There is so much space junk spinning around the Earth and all it would take is a 1 in piece of space trash to hit a satellite to harm it. A lot could have happened to cause that Chinese satellite to malfunction.
Once the satellite malfunctions, the earth's gravity will pull it down. Also, China isn't eh only country that's had trouble, the US has had satellites fall from space as well. Anyone else remembers Skylab?

Many will say to get humanity off the Earth. While some idealists say due to 'unite mankind', others will say its to ease the problem of overpopulation. But beyond that, when we went to the moon, there was a lot of technology and other advances that came from it. Computers for one got a big boost in tech development. There's a lot of everyday stuff we got now that's said to have come about due to the space program:
Moon landing taught us much about science — and ourselves
"It’s impossible to avoid," Chaikin says during a phone interview from his Vermont home. "People want to know … was it worth it?" If you’re of a practical mindset, technology is as good a place to begin as any. According to NASA, the dizzying array of products that use technologies or materials originally developed for the space program includes: TV satellite dishes, medical imaging devices, the in-the-ear thermometer, fire-resistant materials used in firefighting, smoke detectors, sunglasses, cordless power tools, the Space Pen, shock-absorbing materials used in helmets, the joystick video game controllers and, even, golf balls.
And that list doesn’t even count such now-taken for granted advances as global positioning devices, food freeze-drying and preservation processes, and communication and weather satellites.
One has to wonder, if we got all that from just going to the moon (which is basically in Earth's backyard), how much would come from leaving Earth's pull of gravity eniterely and traveling to another planet.
China is infamous for shoddy…. well... shoddy everything.
From bigotry, climate change or both (which is kind of the same thing) ?
And how so ? Because in the end, even in the following centuries earth will be more livable than Mars is for humans.
Anyway, only the part about going to Mars is insane. The rest is great/useful
Well, only Mercury, Venus and Earth will be swallowed by the Sun when it will become a black hole.
Anime related article here. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2018/03/29/films/anime-industry-readies-another-gold-rush/
I really interested to see what the Anime fan community (i just threw up in my mouth typing that) are going to think of anime becoming more wildly accepted by the mainstream (read western) audiences. While I can see the good that is going to do, I am curious if old school fans are going to close ranks and start pushing back against it. Much like the video game community, there have been years of backlash from old-school fans with new people coming in and, depending on your point of view, shining a light on some of the unsavory aspects of their fandom.
I am curious about what people here are going to think about it.
