Go on a pitbull-lovers subreddit and suggest that all their dogs should be put down. You’ll get a site wide ban for “promoting violence” right quick.

The replacement regime is almost always worse, or just as bad but in different ways. And then it too falls.

Armed rebellions rarely result in a stable regime that’s less bad than what they replaced. It’s just an unfortunate fact of history. What they create is an instability which often takes a generation to shake off.

Reagan being president. No, not even now.

If someone’s job is to cause death and suffering and they profit from it then yeah maybe they should face the same.

Calling what this guy did for a living “just a job” is absurd.

There’s no edge here, man. It’s mainstream now. This guy is turning into a bona fide folk hero.

I honestly hope he’s never caught, but that’s not very realistic. The only real bright side to his inevitable capture is that we’ll know what name and face to put on the statues.

Some will bring up the “slippery slope” as a reason for us to treat this guy within the legal system as we would any other killer. I would respond to this people that we’re already barrelling headlong down a greasy slope and have been for a long time now.

Far from endangering is further, maybe this guy has shown us an offramp.

I applaud your moral high ground stance, but it’s worth saying there’s no court that can punish a man like that. They are above the law.

What’s your idealist’s heart say about what to do about people like that when the system that’s supposed to protect us from them is completely and utterly broken?

Joe Biden has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

Donnie Darko would approve

Thisnis the assumption we should all go on, for two reaeons: (1) We don’t want to enable the potential persecution or reprisals for an innocent person, and (2) Who actually wants them to catch the guy anyway?

Seize the machines!

That would seem to be a pretty big leap out of character for Mariner. She only acts like she doesn’t have boundaries, but she actually sets pretty rigid limits on where she’s willing to go with people she considers close friends.

I have this headcanon now that Boimler met his purple universe self once, and that’s why he started dying his hair.

Wait a minute now, is he actively dying his beard as it grows in? That’s pretty weird, isn’t it? Did he lie in his own personal log about dying his hair, or does the hair dying occur at a follicular level?

Reading these posts of yours is my favorite thing to do immediately after every new episode. Entertaining and informative as ever.

I was surprised that there was no reference to Boimler’s hair color in this episode. It has been such a non-issue that I almost wonder if there’s something in the show bible about conspicuously never mentioning it, beyond a single throwaway admission in Boimler’s personal log about dying it (LD s3e01).

It could have been fun if there was some weird connection to the purple dimension, especially with how his facial hair has been a running subplot this season. Maybe his bearded alternate self wasn’t the first alt-Boimler he imprinted on and decided to model himself after?

Kassia Nox needs a spinoff. That character was great.

Hell, I’ve been waiting for 99942 Apophis to swing by us since Stargate was still on the air. Still got five years left on that one, but 2004 when that was first called out as a concern was the first time I really started contemplating the idea of the actual end of the world, in a bang not a whimper.

Sure, Y2K was supposed to cause some chaos, and 2012 was fun from a “what if magic is real” sort of angle, but everything else has been a gradual dawning realization that the world as we know it is probably going to be gone in my children’s lifetimes – not over yet, but profoundly changed, more difficult, the slow closing of the book on a golden age for humanity we didn’t fully appreciate while we were in it.

It is fenced off on the grounds of the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, but some good aim with a small catapult could still get the job done.

Nobody should own dogs. They were bred as slave animals in a time before we understood that they were just as sentient as any other being, with pain receptors and emotions just as real as our own. And we have bred them to be miserable when we are not there giving them attention. Their apparent affection is an illusion, a food-gathering instinct honed by countless generations of selective and cruel in-breeding directed by humans who want to pretend that these animals actually love them, when they’re really just pretending because they are rewarded for it.

Also, if you own a dog and let it bark for any length of time, ever, or let it wander unrestrained where it might bite or harass a stranger, or let it take shits and don’t immediately clean that up, you deserve to be put in a cage.
