    I worked retail for decades and I’m genuinely offended you’d side with a customer. those shits don’t get enough guff for their garbage ass behavior. you wanna come in a scream at me because your mad about “duh gubbermen”? well I’m gonna detect your dumb ass talking points and fuck with you for the duration of our interaction. I’ll tell you the toy car has pink hair and rainbow flames on the side and the license plate says “Bi or Die” and the “Barbie” toy is a MtF school teacher named “Claxison” that lives on government assistance. Come in here again and tell me you think “happy holiday’s” is an attack on Christmas, I dare you!








  • never read the book

    ARRRGGGGG!!!

    dies inside

    OK, yes in the films the Orcs make little to no sense and are nothing outside of comic relief cannon fodder, but in the books they aren’t like that at all. In the books almost everything “evil” is an artificial or evil magic version of something else as a way to counter it, like the Nazgul were an attempt to fight against Eagles. Orc were actually the first elves to come into existence, and the evil bad guy who was Sauron’s boss corrupted and tortured them until they were orcs. They are meant to be a counter to elves, but making people out of evil motives and discordant thinking isn’t that great an idea, so they aren’t very good at this. but they do have their own language and family units, not weird birthing pits, and make their own choices, there’s a few longer parts in the books where you’re just following the orcs along. after the war the orc’s are pretty pissed they got roped into the whole evil army thing, and vow to never follow “big bosses” again. Also Aragorn gives them their own lands. The humans and other beings that fought for Sauron were all roped into it with his lies and cunning, and were pretty upset when they found out all the horrible shit Sauron was up to, in the books no one’s really THAT evil, and the orc’s and goblins can be pretty goofy, but also very normal humanoid type of things.



  • yeah, anti public transit has several motivations, the most American is racism. if we have robust public transit, they can’t be “whites only” and you can’t force the not-whites to sit in the back. so right there. Then you have white land owning hegemony. Why do the busses only go downtown and not to the shopping center half way to the suburbs? because they don’t want the filthy poors mucking up their white fort, if you let busses go up to the suburbs then THEY can get there and do all the things they get blamed for!! Lastly, profit motive. mass transit means people can choose to have a car or not. the powers that be are making a lot of money off cars and mass transit will upset the apple cart.





  • Biden likely would have never released it because his donors are on the list, also the general public on the US, if you haven’t caught on yet are like 30% complete idiots. A good example of this is that many people in comments on Instagram or other social media have said ‘‘why would anyone even willingly fly on a plane called ‘the Lolita express’?’’ Because they can’t figure out that the press started calling Epstine’s plane that long after the accusations and convictions were over with. They’re even more confused that the pilot of the plant never saw ANY sexual behavior or implied sexual relationship of any minors on the plane or even adults on the plane. How couldn’t he tell?! Because Epstine was a blackmail con man, not a ‘‘hay everybody here’s all my dirty secrets! Look at this! It’s incriminating!’’ Man. Blackmail necessitates obfuscation, and likewise gaining access to wealthy targets ment he ALSO needs to appear harmless and well connected to other wealthy people, who only saw normal behavior. So this list, the flight logs, even the island visitors, will all be at the very least 50% innocent people, if not way higher numbers. You only need a few successful targets to get by with blackmail and if the targets all have lots of money and know eachother the last thing you want is for them to be aware your blackmailing them all at once. And if he never did blackmail and just ran a pedophile ring, the level of secrecy would still be crazy high and he’d still want to look innocent to the majority of people he knew that’s how all child abusers and rapists in general tend to behave.
