It was a joke, because everything after the first movie might as well not exist. Apparently it wasn’t received.

Wow, thank you for the definition of the word franchise, I had no idea /s

Franchise?

Not only Austin, but Houston, San Antonio, El Paso, and even Dallas are solidly blue

True story…Louis Armstrong was actually Disney’s first choice to voice King Louie, but they decided against it due to the racist implications of having a black man voice an ape character. I think Louis Prima was a better fit anyway, he had a manic energy and is a little bit sarcastic and mean, where Louis Armstrong was just a very nice man

Well.sure, but this is all so far beside the point…

What exactly makes me a “sucker” in this situation?

I’m on cheap Google Fiber. It’s been $70/mo since we first got it about 6-7 years ago. Before that, AT&T and Time Warner had a duopoly in my area, and getting to tell them to go fuck themselves was the sweetest day of my life. They are awful businesses who treat their staff and customers like shit while delivering inferior service. I’ve rarely had a problem with Google Fiber, and if there’s downtime, they give you a prorated discount. Customer service is really easy to access, also, vs waiting on hold or in person in line with the other ISPs.

WTF dude, check the dates

I totally get having beef with a specific article, but the Guardian is more than one article my dude.

The language being used to describe Palestinians is genocidal

The Guardian view on Gazan genocide charges: Israel finds itself with a plausible case to answer

Israel’s leaders committed genocide in Gaza and must pay for it. Their political and media allies must too

The Guardian’s always been pretty on point. As far as awful media sources go, I don’t know why you’d select one that’s relatively decent

One could argue thats a severe problem

Yes

You just repeated the same two reasons they gave like they were different.

I believe Obama didn’t have the confidence to disrupt the military industrial complex as it was operating post-GWB. I also think he feared the political repercussions of seeming “weak” on defense, which I think he misperceived. This was perhaps the most serious flaw in his presidency, which was otherwise great in regards to domestic policy

There were some things he did I disagreed with, and a lot he did I agreed with. I’d take another Obama presidency any day given where we currently find ourselves

And here I thought he was about to sign an executive order that it’s spelled “Dow Joans” from now on and Pam Bondi was going to prosecute anyone who disagreed

Stop listening to his words and report what’s actually happening, news media

Storm drains usually lead straight to creeks, rivers, or other bodies of water, whereas your sewage goes to a water treatment facility first. Totally separate systems (in most places)

Louisiana’s government is an abject disaster. Really only Mississippi can come close to challenging them for last place. Party alignment has little to do with it, Republican or Democrat, Louisiana’s government has been fucked for decades and it shows in their infrastructure and (lack of) public services.
