  • He was the US secretary of state in the 1970s who finally died today after far too long living free. The 3 page rolling stone article is about as quickly as somebody could summarize his more notable war crimes. Admittedly the article is pretty biased, but also fuck hearing the other side of the story about a man responsible for so much death and pain.

    Tldr: he extended the Vietnam war for about 5 years because it benefited him personally, he convinced Nixon to bomb Cambodia and laos which were not involved in any combat with us, he was involved in the coups that overthrew the democraticly elected governments of Peru and Argentina, he encouraged the use of nuclear bombs in battle on numerous occasions, and that’s just for starts. The rolling stone article claims he is indirecty responsible for about 4 million deaths. They don’t list the directly responsible number, but its likely in the one million range.






  • I feel like your mixing up Julian Assange with Snowden.

    Personally I think both started off doing what they believed was right, and both fled to the non-extradition of russia; but Assange not Snowden kept doing shit and it stopped feeling genuine.

    I could be wrong - if Snowden has done things far worse than I’m aware shoot some links with credible sources.



  • I’ve seen a ton of people saying the new season is bad and I just want to put out there that I think it’s pretty good.

    I don’t think bender is hitting the mark like he did in the first couple seasons, but the other characters are doing great. And let’s be honest, bender has been overused for a long time. I think people have built up Futurama to some god-like show that never had a dud joke, but half of them have always missed the mark and the other half have always been amazing. I don’t think this season or this episode are any different.

    The first episode made fun of their new network which I saw a lot of complaining over, but it’s what they’ve done for the first episode of every reboot.

    The second episode was pretty good (though I think the weakest of the three).

    This episode was filled with clevar jokes. The premise alone was great, their excuse for why this was happening was hysterical, and the interactions felt right - like it hadn’t been 10 years since they were together.
