Yet here you are.

Normally I'd say Sling didn't have a prayer under this administration, but Disney has pissed everybody off - including the Grand Cheeto - so I'm just gonna go stock up on some popcorn...

Doubt it - I find trans people tend to care more about their appearance than this asshole obviously does.

From the Wikipedia page:

In September 2017, Toys "R" Us filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. and Canada. In June 2018, Toys "R" Us closed its remaining 200 stores after entering bankruptcy, however certain international divisions outside of the United States continued.

In January 2019, the global (excluding Canada) Toys "R" Us intellectual property was transferred to Tru Kids, Inc. In August 2021, Tru Kids announced that Toys "R" Us would be opening over 400 stores within Macy's starting in 2022. A few new standalone stores would open, starting late in 2021. The flagship store is located in New Jersey at the American Dream shopping and entertainment complex. A second flagship store was opened inside the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, in November 2023.

I get the hacker mindset of doing this sort of thing just to see if you can, and if so then how - all in an effort to more fully understand how something works (or can be made to)... but geez this is absurd.

Thank you for mentioning who they covered - that's info that should be on the YT page itself.

Elon's just getting in shape to birth his 666th baby - it's what he's been working towards his whole life.

Honor your missing parent with love, not negativity.

I was just half-joking, half making a half-assed point, anyway. Do as you like.

Didn't know about that as I've been thoroughly disgusted by the whole thing & not paying close attention. All that proves, however, is that some significant number of Democratic lawmakers are DINOs in the pockets of the rich - not exactly a secret. America desperately needs viable third party alternatives, the lack of which is why it's where it is now. Until that happens, I'm hoping the progressives can eventually take up enough positions within the Democrats to turn them around.

Yeah, generalizations and assumptions really suck when they're inappropriately and unfairly applied. I think they're an evolutionary holdover - quick decision making is essential to animals surviving in the wild, so we evolved to lump things together to facilitate that and ensure our own safety. It's often not such a good thing when it comes to anything more complex than the question of "is that other being likely to harm me," however.

Please use MAGA instead of "America." I'm an American who's not a MAGAt, and half the country didn't lose their marbles going off the self-righteous deep end, either. We're all embarrassed AF, and don't deserve to be lumped in with those assholes.

Yeah - apparently the boy is ashamed of his chest (look closely at how much of it is shown between the two versions).

OMG, this is so spot-on that it's guaranteed to go way over their heads!

I don't wanna start a game of one-upmanship, so I'll just say "same." The only family I have left are my spouse and adult child.

Shouldn't that be "oh, lard..."?

Community names that are unable to be monopolized by those who aren't good mods is yet another reason the Fediverse is better than Reddit. Keep both & let those who prefer one or the other have their choice. Nothing keeps anyone from subscribing to both.

Followed by the requisite "I'd give ZERO stars if I could!"

Of course. I was just advocating for a kind of equal treatment myself. Growing up without proper parenting/guidance sucks, regardless of the number, gender, or relationship to self of said parent(s). Even "complete" families can (and often do) suck at the job. I'll never understand the idea conservatives have that just because they're the child's parent, they automatically know what's best for their kids - they usually provably don't.

Had to go to the ModLog to read. Congrats on being the first one there!

As a child of boomers, I get and agree with the anger to a point. Remember, however, that their education was much inferior to that of today. Human knowledge & understanding has come a long way in the past century. That doesn't make what they do okay, but it's definitely something that needs to be allowed for when considering their "crimes."

Oral. Words cut deep.
