Only verging? What was Tucker feeling more shy than normal?

Why on Earth wouldn’t it keep trying? That’s how signals work. If my router goes down my computer is going to keep trying to connect to it even though it’s off. That’s not fucking news.

almost half of all voters

If almost half support rejoining, as in under 50%, it doesn’t seem like all that many died or changed their mind.

Yeah this one Cuts deep

Your opinion isn’t really relevant though. That’s just history. That’s why the second was written. They are correct. Patrick Henry was trying to derail ratification of the constitution in the Virginia legislature. The second was James Madison’s way of getting around Patrick’s argument about slave rebellions. That’s just historical record. It’s cold hard fact. You should look it up.

I would also argue with your contention because actually the wording does suggest safety from a slave Uprising more than your supposed Rebellion against the federal government. I mean look at the wording militia and security. That’s not about rebellion. That’s about self-defense. About having a standing Force. Because that’s the other thing about the Second Amendment it’s not about individual gun ownership. That’s a modern interpretation

No it’s not. What’s off-putting is treating people like they’re morons. Treating people like the lowest common denominator. That’s what you’re doing.

Basically Chicago style?

Then it wasn’t history.

Of course it’s a nothing burger! It’s utterly vapid. It’s a Twitter post. Someone took a Twitter post, probably made by a 19-year-old who did think this was profound because they’re 19, then they slapped an engagement bait title on it and posted it to Lemmy. It’s the definition of vapid.

That’s what this whole thing was about. You thought they were saying nothing new of that scale had been made since Star Wars, since you still are with that 1976 thing. They weren’t. They were saying something that required no brain activity.

To put it very simply. The post said something new will be made tomorrow. You said that’s wrong because something new was made yesterday. I said that’s why someone downvoted you. This is what we’ve spent brain power on. Cuz we’re both apparently as stupid as the person who made the original post. I’m done.

liberal paradise

Isn’t that just piefed?

Well its a sh.itjust.works account so basically anyone to the left of Margret Thatcher most likely.

Not sure if it’ll be popular but it’s certainly the smart thing to do.

You seem to be thinking they said nothing came out since Star Wars. That was absolutely 1,000% not what they’re saying. They could have said Harry potter. They could have said game of thrones. Those are two other examples that would have made their point for them. They just chose star wars. I don’t know how to say this any clearer. I don’t understand what you’re not getting.

I mean I don’t think it implies that at all. But I do agree the internet has a habit of reading things that way because the internet is psychotic. What’s that old post about if you say you like pancakes someone’s going to say oh so you hate waffles? Like that.

Of course none of that had anything to do with the point of the post. Not even Star Wars had anything to do with the point of the post. Which seems like the thing you’re not getting past here.

Well I absolutely do not think Harry Potter has the same scale as Star Wars. It’s not nearly as well thought out or as extensive or is interconnected. It was written by a brain dead Turf who had had to retcon every single book because she couldn’t keep her thoughts straight after when she wrote the next one.

However that was absolutely not the point I was making.

Okay this is beside the point because you’re reading it wrong. But no Frozen does not count. In any way whatsoever. That is nowhere close to the scale and scope of what we’re talking about.

I’m not sure how you’re missing this. Get off of Star Wars. That was just an example. Nothing about that post says there’s been nothing new since Star Wars. Star Wars and Marvel were used as examples of huge culturally significant interconnected universes. Massive intellectual properties. That’s the point of the post. They’re saying there’s going to be a new one of that scale sometime in the future. In no way are they saying nothing new has been created since Star Wars. If you read it that way you read it incorrectly.

That’s not really the point though. The post isn’t about something new since Star Wars. The idea is something new with a similar scope and scale of Star Wars. They’re not using that as an example of the last thing that was made.

I think you mean a melt.
