I hate to be that guy, but the article says abortion pills without a valid prescription

And what's a "valid prescription" when some states have birth control and morning after pills labeled OTC?

Do cops not have flash bang grenades? Gonna suck for the kids too but they woulda lived

They do. Cops're known for dropping flash-bangs on toddlers in their cribs.

They could have tried it.

I see everyone mentioning Rose, Martha, Donna. They're great, sure. But you're missing the Doctor's best companion. Handles.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a4d31310.jpg

Handles wasn't anything more than a hard drive. He was stripped of everything that would have made him a companion before the Doctor found him in a scrap yard.

(Maldovar. I had to google the name.)

You realise they are actually popular, right? And the fact that you dont like them doesnt automatically mean that nobody else does?

I say with the utmost sarcasm and piss-taking that, "Everyone else is just absolutely wrong."

In all seriousness, though, I was genuinely disappointed in them as a candy I was looking forward to, and I figured the ridiculous thing I spun up and the hyperbole would have given away that it was mostly poking fun at the idea.

Mostly.

Would you like a jelly baby?

Actually, no. I would not. They're awful.

Years ago, I got to go to UK with a school trip. I was a tourist. Going to have my first jelly babies in a paper bag and all that shit.

I was lied to. And I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those things that you hear about in a retrospective that he hated them, too, and it was just because, I don't know, licorice would have been weird to carry around and no one actually eats butterscotch candies that the script made him use jelly babies.

Frankly sounds a lot like Capaldi, I'd probably struggle to get through her episodes too. That's a shame.

I thought Capaldi was a great snap back from Smith. Clara was not my favorite, to be honest. Bill was such a better foil in my mind.

Smith's entire era was a bit of a slog for me, outside a very few key eps. I personally hate the Ponds. So much. And as much as I like Kingston as an actress, but I didn't like River Song the longer she was around as a character.

But I like the franchise and I kept going because new content. After all, if I quit quality sci-fi shows after a single rough season, I couldn't be the Trek fan I am today.

All to say, I think you can make it through. It's not that many eps. Not like it's Supernatural or something.

How was the Whittaker run?

Great actress, bad writers. Wasn't given the chance to shine as the Doctor outside a couple of really amazing eps (Demons of the Punjab always seems to be the one to get named first).

So... it's like every other Doctor?

We've had great actors with bad stories since ones like Underwater Menace and Happiness Patrol, to hit both ends of the Old Who spectrum.

Pretty much this for me too. I liked Capaldi as the Doctor a lot, actually. I just didn't like the stories they were giving him.

That sounds par for Whittaker, too, based on everyone's commentary that counts.

(Then there's all the other people whose opinions don't count because they're crying, "When did my sci-fi get woke!?" as they rend their Baker scarves to bits.)

I mean he got booted off the easiest job in the world (literally just had to show up on set and be himself) because he was too difficult and unreliable to work with. I can't imagine anyone wants to work with him after that.

Even if you don't concede that, if we're doing all-time, capital-w Worst, I'd still point to Reagan and the economic policies who put the working class on a 40 year slide into poverty and a new feudalism, or Newt whose Contract on America was really the death knell for civility and bipartisanship in our government when it became openly and nakedly about seizing power instead of just governing with some maliciousness

Isn't this literally illegal?

A ton of progressive programs used to broadcast on RT or be part of their YouTube network. People like Hartmann and Ventura.

That was years ago, before Ukraine. But it was still state-sponsored media.

I always wondered how and why that worked. It's not like the progressive voices ever really had nice things to say about Putin or Russia's leadership in general...

Tucker is 100% a propaganda mouthpiece for fascism, and that should be illegal, as he's platforming a hostile nation over his own country. But the part about him just being on Russian broadcast TV... doesn't seem illegal, given the example I mentioned above?

If you subscribe to the "one nazi at the table" rule that's perfectly fine. I'm just saying he does not personally have white supremacists, christian nationalist, or neo nazi ideologies himself. Those people like him though, so he likes or tolerates them. He will agree with anything that gets him the power and attention he craves.

He does. He's on record more than once talking about his "good genes" and using other Nazi-esque and white supremacist language in the past. (I ctrl+f for "genes" and didn't clock anyone else reminding you of that. You obviously need an education on this, and this is one more lesson.)

His language, of that variety, is what got him fired from his own show, and had NBC terminate their contracts with him.

His problems run very old and very deep.

Look, at the end of the day you have to choose if you think Trump is a bumbling dumbfuck or an insidious nazi who is hiding easter eggs for people to find. You can't have it both ways. I have made my choice.

This isn't like the right calling Obama a limp-wristed, iron-fisted dictator.

Trump, as dumb as he is, has surrounded himself with white supremacist policy makers, and had holiday dinners with openly avowed nazis (Fuentes) and people who think nazis are good (Ye).

He doesn't have to be a sinister genius to have willingly thrown his lot in with sinister people who he (a) agrees wholeheartedly with, and (b) has been promised all the power in the world by.

Didn't Donnie also have that video where someone yells "white power" in it and they had to release pretty much the same stock response of "we didn't make it, someone else did!"

That was him re-tweeting a video of some guy in a golf cart in a place called The Villages in central Florida. It got super deleted super fast.

"He didn't hear that word."
<what no one asked, I guess> "It's a three-second clip. How didn't he hear it?"

But the internet didn't forget.

This was not a campaign video, it was created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word, while the President was in court," Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign spokeswoman, said in a statement.

I wonder if it was the same staffer who made DeSantis release the same statement right before firing the guy as part of a campaign layoff (so-called, because he couldn't be seen to fire a nazi from his staff when nazis in his state support him as a voting bloc).

What're the odds that two different republican campaigns would end up with multiple nazis making crafted nazi messages, after all.

Had to be a slip up where they just rehired the wrong guy. There can't be that many (a number greater than zero) nazis in the republican party. No American would ever tolerate that.

Why is it the case a lot of the time anyone criticises Hamas the response is to talk about Netanyahu. They arent mutually exclusive. Its possible for both to be open to heavy criticism.

I think it's mostly because Bibi is responsible for the existence of hamas in Palestine.

Like, in a long, long causal chain of events that begins with his own party's statement that they can guarantee they will stay in power is by installing hamas, Netanyahu is responsible for October 7. First domino, et al.

That was his point. The first seasons (plus the movie) were making fun of isekai and how horny they are, this season is just them having horny hijinks. It's why the jokes are just almost exclusively horny in nature (the only one that isn't is just them spamming "but the MC is soooo worthless!~") while prior to this it was constantly acting as a parody of isekai.

Trump should be getting blasted for being a sexual predator, a lier, a felon, a con man, a racist, a danger to democracy, a million other things. Instead, they try to make a story about nothing and it shows how s***ty the media is.

Not how that works. Especially not how that works after he's criticized so many others for teleprompter reliance or freezing up or speech issues.

He needs to get blaster about this, too, because it's yet another instance of his blatant hypocrisy.
