Ajnt Ornj: "~~non white~~ 'illegal immigrants' are literally coming to eat your pets and the democrats want to let them"
Media fact checker: "this may not be entirely true, as no evidence has been produced to support the claims, however we found a Twitter post that... "

Idiots online: BOTH SIDES LIE THEY'RE EXACTLY THE SAME

Oh my god I just felt my chest release slightly with a tension I didn't even know was there.
I never hear the full sentence, people always just cut it off 5 words in for some reason...
Not always involving Rome. Not always the past. Not always even human when you wake up.
But for a brief moment I can try to imagine how good that must feel to not have any of this be a concern of mine, because I'm so far removed from it, it cannot affect me.
Like waking up as a sentient mycelium colony on a distant planet. Who gives a shit about housing prices or what youtube channel is allegedly being treated unfairly when your sole purpose is to slowly expand across the surface of an alien world and you can instead contemplate the quality of nutrients.
I'm never sure what she's currently watching, since she flips around between various shows, and hinges them quickly.
Currently she's watching some procedural crime drama shows, but I'm sure she will be looking into more when she finishes the current series.
I'll have to suggest those to her when she starts up again!
I could read articles from every single paper in the world giving me detailed breakdowns by renowned scientists, statisticians, math experts, and even some geologists if you're feeling frisky, all telling me how Harris is 99.99999999% likely to win, and only 10,000 votes will go to anyone else, and that will still not change my opinion.
GO VOTE
Meanwhile, my terrier mix: come on, throw it. Throw the toy. I want you to throw it. Throw it. Come on just throw it. HERE it's in your hand now, so THROW IT
and he will start waving his paw around like he's making a petting motion, posed in a "I'm ready to run" stance.
Also he has managed to figure out if he holds a toy under one paw, and smacks it to the opposite side with his other paw, he can fling it up to 10ft, but usually just does it to toss it at our faces if we don't throw it quick enough.
While my wife watches them, I find myself asking "what was the point of adding that into the show?" too often.
It really does feel like the show is just going "And get a load of THIS sad sack, piece of shit, worthless, spineless, insecure little fuckwit who's just THE most unpopular at school, and work, and all the cool people HATE them ALL BECAUSE [generic reason that 95% of people can relate to]"
I'm sorry show, but we don't need to know if the murderer had dropped a scoop of ice cream at the park when they were 27.
Politicians can be bought for embarrassingly low amounts, I dont see "media personalities" as generally being any better.
You'll have a better understanding of the references and jokes if you're American, like watching TV from any nation would be, but IASIP is... Not for everyone.
I get the desire to watch it every few years, and get to around season 7 or 8 before burning out, and I have to admit the only reason I watched past episode 2 was because all my friends kept insisting it gets way better... But it's not usually my cuppa.
Don't get me started on Sisko and the "tEmpOrAl PrImE sUggEsTiOn"
That could come later.
For now it just means reassigned to a desk somewhere not too far from MPs.
