ahem, I believe it’s mustache-twirling...

Alito: “Regulate us, I dare you!”

Congressional Dems: “Hold our beers..."

lol, wow. I guess summer break is over, and we’re back to this dipshit being in the news.

and, yeah, he should have to pay every last penny of what he has, despite his rather inept attempts at hiding his money by sifting it around to his family and friends.

counterpoint: please do.

one doesn’t have to go far to find posts of them comment-bombing in groups, trolling en-masse and generally being rude and abusive to other users. there’s a reason many other users are calling for defederation.

it’s not a matter of their politics or beliefs. there’s just a high percentage of very rude people from that instance who enjoy trolling posts and which seems to have little or no moderation.

people can simply make a donation already, if they like. all of the extra work and resources required to run a coin and rewards system, track earning/spending and accounts, plus a secure payment system, etc… that would all cost a lot of time and resources. and that would require even more donations to pay for and maintain.

you’re right: it’s not useless, it’s worse than useless.

if you want to donate, just do that. if you want unconditional love, adopt a puppy.

explain to me how, exactly, you believe the sackler family profited from afghani opium. I’m curious about your thought process.

I know it’s taboo to say in a lot of places, but I really do, too. can’t stand the Kelvin films.

edit: what does this have to do with courtesy?

Olyphant would have been 40-41 when they were casting Star Trek (2009) and Chris Pine was 28-29. That’s a pretty meaningful age difference that comes off in both appearance and performance. It wasn’t just some minor detail— the actor who got cast had to play Kirk from the age of ~18-25, so it made a lot more sense to cast an actor much closer to that age. I don’t see the problem here or how explaining that is “mean”.

edit: in fact, Olyphant didn’t think it was mean at all:

FTA:

“Auditioning sucks,” Olyphant concluded, “and the fact that I remember the audition process fondly says a lot about J.J. Abrams and what a wonderful man that guy is.”

wouldn’t that be dishonest?

I don’t think Abrahams was blaming Olyphant for his age, just that Kirk’s role needed to be cast with a young actor. Olyphant doesn’t meet that requirement. How should he have said that?
