Powered Descent posted:There's a semi-obscure sci-fi comedy series called Avenue 5 that came out almost a year ago. And there's one scene from it that has come to my mind over and over and over since the pandemic started. i bought a month of HBO max so I could rewatch Sopranos and turns out this thing is on there, adding to the list.

It's John Paul Tremblay, who played Julian in Trailer Park Boys (as H.P. Hovercraft noted). No clue what the point of the image is though. He's alive, his character is alive (although in jail).

Apparently, it is a reference to a MAGA Twitter account -@JuliansRum- shut down and moving to Parler. I did not go far enough in the replies to get the understand the reference. Doesn't really fit with this thread. https://twitter.com/elenochle/status/1336848923088932864?s=19

All suffering deserves some level of pity but God drat if some people don't make it awfully hard. It's amazing how whoever made that "me sowing me reaping" meme just completely summed up the last year by accident, Before it even really was relevant.

I just can't pity them. I try and I can't. And that's a terrible thing to feel as a human being. They just keep bringing all this hell on themselves. They keep thinking juice will save them, or youth, or conservative death cult politics, or Trump or whomever. And they keep pushing and pushing until they actually, finally suffer the consequences and die and even then the survivors equate taking even the most basic precautions to being imprisoned in a concentration camp. I don't pity them. They're my brothers and sisters and I honestly hope they all die choking. And that makes me a goddamn broke-brained monster.

More focus needs to be put on the U.S.'s failing mental health institutions, a lot of these individuals would be receiving the care they need if we hadn't shut down all our psychiatric hospitals (and then failed to replace them.)

I've been having this too, but I also imagine that they must have people in their lives who aren't monstrous and aren't indulging in this self-destructive behavior. Family, friends maybe. People who love them and care about them but couldn't figure out how to keep them from losing their minds in all this poo poo. They're going to suffer too and I don't feel very good about that.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-hampshire-house-speaker-richard-hinch-dies-of-covid-19-one-week-after-being-sworn-inquote:Richard Hinch, the newly elected speaker of New Hampshire’s Republican-led House, died of COVID-19 on Wednesday, just one week after being sworn in. wow what a shame quote:On Dec. 2, Hinch attended the swearing-in ceremony for state legislators, where several of his fellow Republicans were seen maskless. Many Democrats didn’t show up to the ceremony, after an unspecified number of Republican members of the legislature tested positive for the virus following an indoor, maskless Nov. 20 caucus meeting at a ski resort. “There are no persons present who either tested positive or who were close contacts,” Hinch said in a statement to the New Hampshire Union-Leader on Dec. 2. “This meeting day is required by the state Constitution, and we were able to get it off the ground while keeping people safe.” Hinch was 71. looks like it wasn't as safe as you thought

fondue posted:Please tell me that the woman whom keeps unlocking the door takes a trip outside, too. No. One of the people changes their mind at the last moment though, but it's too late. Her hand is shattered on the way out which finally makes everyone realize it's not some clever sfx.  The show really is great. Just a bunch of lovely people being lovely against each other, with everything getting increasingly stupid and lovely as a consequence of their own actions. Literally nobody qualified is in charge because everything is automated so the captain and crew are all dumb actors putting on a show. The actual captain dies in the first episode and the only other qualified people are a bunch of engineers below decks who don't really give a poo poo about all the rich people. Seriously, it's a great show with great characters that you just love to hate. It was great catharsis from the reality where awful people don't get what's coming to them.

I just started watching it last night. It is a clinic in how stupid people act in an aggregate, which we're unfortunately seeing firsthand now. I particularly enjoy how it's the future and you know stuff's changed from the present, but no one is specific on what's changed. Like why does everyone hate everything to do with the British?
