The Boys I would argue is the closest we've got to commentary on the MCU - what if captain america was a government security subcontracter. Pity it's so inconsistently made.

Yeah, a modern day Blazing Saddles would be about a plucky foreigner who gets super powers and has a well-adjusted family and wonders why it takes a dead parent to know being a war profiteer is bad.
And they'd occcasionally wink at the camera and mention the next movie/source material.

A couple of "gems" from an utter moron on another forum:

quote:

Human biology determines normal. It is normal for people to be heterosexual. Because it's biology. It's not normal for men to be with men and women with women. The human being is biologically built toward heterosexuality. That's why homosexuality is so rare.

quote:

That's because gay people can't have children with each other. Ever. Some heterosexuals couples can't have kids either, but it's because of a biological defect. Gay couples can't because they are not biologically capable. It's science.

Bonobos use sex as a social bonding and tension-reducing measure, including gay sex. With chimpanzees, bobobos are the closest living relatives to humans.

While XX and XY are the most common sex genotypes, there's also XXY and XYY and XXXY and some with fragmentary sex chromosomes that result in intersex and naturally transgender members. There's nothing stopping the possibility of them breeding or reproducing

It's just science

It's not exactly the same thing, but it's a bit like saying, "Well I don't need a stimulus check; I'm doing fine during this pandemic. So all those wage slaves working at McDonald's should get along without a check too". The only difference is that it's slapping "It's science!" onto their own bigotry, which never fails to make me furious (which is probably the point).

It's extra frustrating because they're only saying "It's science" as some :smuggo: burn on all the people who have tried to explain actual science to them.

12 historically documented tactics that the Communists used to capture the minds of Americans and Collapse the United States from within :

1. Remove or discredit leaders that are principled, courageous and people of convictions and morality.

2. Entice the brainwashing subjects into doubting their fundamental worldview, values and convictions.

3. Teach revisionist history that teaches American capitalist free market system as the source of all suffering and opression.

4. Teach moral relativism and situational ethics in order to destroy morality and character.

5. Teach the emphasis of group consensus and collectivism, and the danger of consequences and individuality.

6. Teach feelings and personal subjective experiences over facts, reason, logic, and context.

7. Put brainwashing subjects in state of fear, anxiety, confusion, etc to diminish critical thinking of subject the goal is to force the individual to surrender their individuality and worldview to those of change agents (?) and controlled and crafted group consensus.

8. Conceal the lies and evil agenda of the propigandist in order to shame and manipulate the subjects into willingly embracing their own demise.

9. Use individuals in trusted institutions to give credibility and value to the worldview inculcated in the brainwashed subjects.

10. Set up a system of rewards for those that advance in the brainwashing program. Punish those that embrace views in conflict with the propiganda.

11. Use informants, gossip, and tattle tales to report noncompliance of groups.

12. Create an atmosphere of chaos, suffering, hoteliers and danger then rescue the subject so the propigandist is perceived as a friend protector and savior.

This list seems familiar, but probably not in the way the author intended. Isn't this basically poo poo the US does when they kick off coups in foreign countries? Just flip a few economic terms here and there.

One time, my dad was going on with something like "two bulls don't make a calf, two ewes don't make a lamb", to which I responded with your last point. "Oh but I think we're a bit more advanced than animals". Idk how someone can make those two points side by side and not have any discomfort over it, but eh.

If a bull and a cow are twins then the reproductive development of the cow will often be altered by anti-Müllerian hormone from the male twin through the placenta, resulting in a cow that appears female but exhibits stereotypical bull behavior, has non-functioning ovaries, and will often attempt to mount other cows.

My ex's family raised cattle and they had to send a bull to the butcher because it would only mount steers, completely defeated the purpose of having a bull in the first place

I don't know but I love how it's supposed to make me really loving mad for some reason.

IDGAF if that dude does any of those things or if it makes him happy in the slightest. I like a lot of Bugs Bunny cartoons and some of Dr. Seuss' stuff. It's crazy how much of this is simple projection where these folks claim that liberals like me are going out of their way to constantly be offended by poo poo when that's almost 100% everything about the conservative movement.

They act like the very concept of something "used to be considered funny but isn't so much anymore" is an affront to humor in and of itself and that nothing ever evolves or changes. In fact, they don't really want things to evolve or change which is weird to me.
