Colin Powell. Condoleeza Rice. Hillary Clinton. John Kerry. These are all people who SHOULD have visited North Korea but didn’t. Who are we sending instead? A boatload of celebrities.

@mrmattimation Discriminating against people with no training, experience, or qualifications is ABLEISM!! D:

@mrmattimation i’d have no problems with celebrities visiting countries in order to strengthen ties with them if they helped to dispel the stereotype of the fat, rich, greedy American. Too bad in most of these cases that’s the opposite effect.

-
@mattskala @mayuutann maybe verbs like plan, start, want are about intention or being at the beginning.
-
@mcscx i think over time the general (-ing conjugation for the most part) has become more acceptable in most cases than the full infinitive (to -).

@awl No, probably not. I was under the impression that only broke if you changed the site's name or URL schema. We've moved a bunch of times before without it breaking before.

I’m conflicted about Mike Pompeo. On one hand, I hate Mike Pompeo and I think leaving the President with no functioning Secretary of State in the middle of his second year would be really, really funny and exactly as humiliating as it should be. BUT, I think leaving the President with no foreign counsel, especially at a time like this where we’re on the verge of a diplomatic crisis in Syria, Russia, China, Japan, Iran, AND North Korea, would be rather irresponsible and dangerous. I think either A) Pompeo needs to be confirmed, or B) Trump needs to nominate somebody else ASAP. The second thing is not going to happen, so it’ll have to be the first.

@mrmattimation this constant shuffling of cards the administration seems bent on doing really isn’t helping those crises anyways but having such an important slot emptied is way worse, I can agree to that.
-
@awl It really comes down to whether you would rather have a potentially incompetent asshole in the position, or have NOBODY in the position and essentially guarantee that all of our current problems escalate.

@mrmattimation as horrible as it undoubtedly would go part of me wouldn’t mind seeing a Scaramucci comeback

@snail Robot9000
Basically socially inept, sheltered people bitter at the outside world that thus ignore it and focus on their own online community.
In any case, does having a main character that is morally reprehensible really make a work of fiction bad? Say for example, suicide squad is about worst of the worst criminals going on a mission. Does having that kind of cast as main characters make the entire franchise horrible and disgusting? not really. Sometimes the characters are awful and don't click with the viewer, it's my case with inglorious basterds which I can't watch as I see it as a celebration of the whole spectrum of crappy human behaviour. That doesn't mean it's objectively bad in every way.-
@nerthos to be fair with Inglorious Basterds’s case that’s most of Tarantino films; at least is how I’m starting to see them.
-
@awl I've always seen his movies as the cinematic version of tracing. If every shot is some kind of homage, what is he, himself, actually doing?
-
@scribus that’s a viewpoint I’ve heard often when it comes to his works as well. (He himself is debaucherising cinema lol)

Ah hell, Spring here IS snow flurries. It’s just that for the last few years we haven’t had old drifts last this far in to April.

I was starting to think Spring might be coming back to Minnesota but it started snowing. No accumulation, but it’s getting old now that I ride to work and to school.

@awl In fairness, they probably only got half of it. I'd already made sandwiches for today, had some toast for breakfast over the weekend. But I still woke up to far less bread than when I went to sleep.

Ah it’s fun having my calmness tested in a familiar, professional way.

Looking at the Internet I could believe I’m the only right-winger that believes the ethnostate is a really stupid idea.

Saw a post on Tumblr about how Hank Hill was transphobic. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think the idea that a 40 year old straight white man in suburban Texas circa 1997 was transphobic should diminish your enjoyment of the show.

@mrmattimation well he also verbally abused his son and friends but back in those days that’s why it was funny

Normally I scoff at the action of diplomats being expelled from their country of service but this last one applees me off. A personal acquaintance of mine was sent off from a country he loves, even if his government doesn’t.

@scribus Thankfully, she’s unharmed physically, but the district manager is not taking it very seriously and it’s taking a lot of self-restraint for me to not go in there and torch the whole Papa John’s.

@mrmattimation Papa John is a notorious asshole.

@mrmattimation Unfortunate.

@adiwan it was a gag I saw somewhere on the internet. Not like an actual piece of advice or an award or anything.

@awl I just looked up at a German car-dealing website, on which people can offer their car for sale, and found out that about 37% of all cars there are automatic. I thought this number would be lower.

it's extremely easy to make someone with extreme right views look stupid. all you had to do was leave Milo alone for 15 minutes and he just straight-up admitted to wanting to cherry children. it's THAT simple.

@tiff there was a plethora of examples before that one, but yes that’s a rather shiny one. The “no such thing as bad publicity” addage rings true even if the publiicity is in the extreme.

Mickey Mouse tried to get a divorce but his lawyer wasn't having it. He said, "Mickey, you can't divorce Minnie just because she's, as you put it, 'seriously silly'"
