I hear you on the level of history should emphasize a "look at what we allowed" rhetoric to instill some semblance of public shame to curtail future behaviour. I just think it's at odds with the reality in which history is read; namely the "look at what these specific villains did, and were they justified" as a form of absolving ourselves and humanizing said villains.

If we're going to scapegoat, might as well not draw attention to it at all IMO

The ninja one was weird.

I had that parachute action man, and I remember chucking him down a flight of stairs. Shitty, shitty parachute. The doll itself was surprisingly well made (I guess it was drop tested a lot during production?) but weighed a ton and the parachute was hilariously too small for it

The c-section baby line is pretty smooth have to admit

You're still famous if people are chanting your name though. For them, infamy and fame are the same thing

To play devil's advocate (for absolutely no reason other than what other kind of answer were you looking for here), I think America's only problem is trust in its fellow man, and this is largely exacerbated by the media who over-report on violent acts.

Not that they shouldn't, of course, but you look at the crime statistics in the 70s on anywhere in the planet and the murder and kidnapping rate was way waay up, yet hope/community seemed to reign supreme in the streets because no one paid attention to the minor violent occurences happening out of sight around them.

Not saying that ignorance is necessarily better, but I think fear is the main enemy of the people and the media knows it and wields it to the absolute delight of the government and their corporate sponsors.

That fear culture is definitely creeping into the UK via what I'd call US interference (no doubt with plenty of helpful spoonfuls from Russia and/or China), and people are definitely turning on each other... but you don't see it too much in the cities

feels like the old reddit days here again, I'm smiling

I don't see how it's uh-

the dope fiend pulled out a spanking shotgun

hundred pull ups and then you get a call from the general

I will respect him in death like he respected us while alive.

This should be printed everywhere

dont ruin your road to recovery for the sake of a monster. Their names should be nothing more than a footnote in history

it's like gaslighting someone, but with written word

Ooh I have a fancy bike too, and it's fast but I just don't like riding it because it's got no mass! I need something with heft so that when I'm not on the up or down stroke the bike isn't seemingly pausing between strokes due to lack of inertia

(All in my head btw, the bike is faster than my old steel frame, but I just like the feel of the steeler more)

*Taps head*Can't take your medsIf you're still in bed

I like her darker, edgier stuff. That comic she made about the cannibal lepers on the moon of Annares really spoke to my inner child

I remember my 30th birthday well, I suddenly grew a six pack and backflipped onto a motorbike mounted onto a jetski and then moonwalked the 100m race faster than Jamiroquai on stilts

This morning I woke up early with the sun, and had a nice pour over single-origin coffee produced by the hamster army I keep under the floorboards

Oh and dust bowls caused by deforestation in favour of unsustainable farming practices were common place

and they were roommates
