trenchant social commentary 2

Vietnam only happened because of capitalism. You knew that, right?

I'm so sorry you're paying 4000 for Humira but what if I told you drug companies seek PROFITS and not YOUR HEALTH?

tbf the admissions scandal is kinda _shrug_ to me if only because it really is a drop in the bucket of the overall fuckery of admissions/higher ed (and by extension the job market)

Think the overall point isn't that you have to care about it but it's cloying to act as if people can't hold two thoughts in their head at the same time.

Then again, this may be true for those posting hot takes like man alive's friend

P much every "bust" of any kind is a drop in the bucket. I enjoy that at least rich people are getting busted for once, and I would think even if you are socialist it's good to see the curtains being peeled back on this sort of thing

love to peel back the curtains and bust in the bucket

Omg

Think the overall point isn't that you have to care about it but it's cloying to act as if people can't hold two thoughts in their head at the same time.

yeah, exactly. ... but, y'know, maybe the people who create and share trenchmemes ... maybe they can't hold more than one thought in their head at the same time ... it's like ... Idiocracy is .... a .... documentary?

it's hard not to enter the trenchant labyrinth

tbc this particular admissions scandal is uniquely hilarious for the criminal ineptitude at work

Stamos to judge: have mercy

Yeah, my other take on this is lighten up because this is funny as fuck and people enjoy watching rich people trainwrecks

I mean

definitely had to confirm that was not the Onion. wow.

The toker, who sports a ponytail and raps under the name “Billa,” then shamelessly plugged his music. “Check out my CD, ‘Cheese and Crackers,’ ” he said of his 2018 five-track rec­ord that includes a song titled “If I Lost My Money.”

this thread is it's own annoying trenchant social commentary

"small minds discuss people

great minds roll their eyes at how dumb everyone else is"

it's like the hotel california

such a lovey place... if you're part of the white patriarchy

Everyone these days is trying to be a “content creator” because they’re not “content” with worshipping the “creator”

some bad driving there

in the sense that they failed to run over those cunts yes

time was a beatle would leap out of your way in the street

I don't know what Charlie Manson is doing there, in his prison gear too.

Why is the steering wheel on the left

why has the pedestrian crossing disappeared

wow that cartoon is ... true to its title! sorry mark parisi, no good

The pedestrian crossing has disappeared because the mobile generation are too busy looking at phones to find the correct place to cross.
The Beatles are all going in different directions because despite the interconnectedness of the mobile and social media generation we have lost that true human connection that pulls us together.
The steering wheel is on the left as it represents the real Paul McCartney (a left handed Beatle) who was dead by the time this picture was taken.

That last one would explain why John is left-handed in the pic.

the steering wheel on the left is why the driver has lost control. he's not used to it, it's a rental and there was a mix-up somewhere about the wheel, now he's already left the lot and he's checking the console for the receipt and BAM! paul is dead

too bad he didn't miss him miss him miss him.

I guess this can go here but it's more of a powerful liberal memes kind of thing

Like I don't know who this guy is, but he can't really be that stupid can he?

oh, lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Klain

not sure I get you, don't really understand what's wrong with that statement

Closing the border to legal goods is much easier than closing it to humans coming over which is obvious to any child.

firm but fair

Also if anything he's kind of making Trump's point for him

not sure I get you, don't really understand what's wrong with that statement

Because closing the border to LEGAL traffic and trying to stop illegal immigration are obviously two different things? The wall (as bad an idea as it is) is not designed to "close the border," it's designed to prevent people from making unauthorized crossings. Close the border means close the legal crossings.

I feel like this is a common tactic -- deliberately misconstruing what the other side is saying rather than arguing against it. It's great for the echo chamber but does nothing to convince anyone.
