General Politics Discussion (V) [ARCHIVED] • Page 1296

I recently tried going through this show again and most of it does not hold up. This scene is one of my faves tho.

 

Yeah I did the same a couple months ago and didn't make it very far haha. Still some good bits but there's Youtube for that haha

 

The first 3-4 seasons or so are great then it completely falls apart for whatever reason.

 

Reminds me of the Craig T. Nelson quote he gave in an interview once: "I've been on food stamps and welfare. Anybody help me out? No. No. They gave me hope, and they gave me encouragement, and they gave me a vision. That came from my education."

 

Cool cool cool

 

The League?

Yeah, that show is not good

 

Yeah, I think the first few seasons are hilarious.

 

The funniest thing about the league is that that guy lied about being in 9/11

 

The real answer is to make better propaganda but the funding for reality just is not there

 

Hey nong man!

 

I enjoyed them a few years ago, and like others said the show definitely dips in quality over time. But I'm not even sure I would like the early seasons now. I dunno. Probably never gonna revisit it, haha.

 

Let Malibu Burn

Fire in Malibu has a relentless, staccato rhythm. The rugged coastline is scourged by a large fire, on average, every two and a half years, and at least once a decade a blaze in the chaparral grows into a terrifying firestorm consuming hundreds of homes in an inexorable march across the mountains to the sea. In one week last month, 10 homes and 14,000 acres of brush went up in smoke.

And it will only get worse. Such periodic disasters are inevitable as long as private residential development is tolerated in the fire ecology of the Santa Monicas.

Make your home in Malibu, in other words, and you eventually will face the flames.

...

All of which means that "total fire suppression" - the official policy in the Southern California mountains since 1919 - is a futile, indeed disastrous, strategy that makes doomsday like firestorms and subsequent floods virtually inevitable by preventing the recycling of dead chaparral by more frequent small fires.

They should make him eat the tear gas then

 

Whenever I'm at Chili's I ask the waiter to pepper spray my fajitas.

 

Do they just go to the Cop sitting at the bar alone and tap him/her on the shoulder? I swear that there's been one at every Chili's I've ever gone to...

 

Lol found this new presumably satire account in the replies to that Trump tweet:

 

big for my county

 

guess I need to start updating my resume.

Not looking forward to interviewing.
