  • Oh shut the fuck up. Telling someone to touch grass after spouting your delusion? People like you need to be told to shut up more. We shouldn't entertain your nonsense. Trying to call it a joke after the fact is the only laughable part.

  • Lmao what you're suggesting is IVF fraud committed by the doctor. Are you seriously suggesting that "well maybe Elon brought someone else's sperm?" No. They signed contracts, did tests, were both very involved in the IVF process. There would be no question about paternity unless you were claiming doctor shenanigans or Elon slipping someone else's sperm in. That's NOT what's happening here.

    And "courts recognize paternity tests" is blatantly false. Once a guy's name is on the birth certificate, even a negative paternity test won't get him removed in most states. Reason being that the gov doesnt need more wards of the state and if there's already someone attached, well fuck facts, it saves us money.

  • Others have posted earlier tweets of hers that are basically "if a woman can get an abortion and it's only her choice, then a man can also opt out of a child and not support it". Literally leopard face eating.

    And it's also been speculated that Elon doesn't conceive naturally, only IVF. So why the need for a paternity test? I think if they did have traditional intercourse that actually is in itself an interesting fact considering the other children. What it means I have no clue, but it's an outlier.

  • No, it's delusional. Writing fictional stories is fine. Trying to warp reality and evidence to fit your fantasy is delusion. "This would be cool..." is not the same as being told why you're scientifically wrong and then going "but what if it were true anyways because I want to believe?"

    It's the same shit with Bigfoot. As more and more "evidence" is debunked and the case becomes more obviously just a mistaken identification at best you get these whack jobs talking about how Bigfoot is a dimension jumping shape shifter. Not because they have any actual evidence, but because "this is the only way to explain why we got zero pictures despite decades of trying".

    Imagination is fine. Delusion is not.

  • Yeah, but when it's clearly a hoax and you have someone going "yeah, but still, what if it's really X?" it makes it really clear how badly our education and mental health systems failed.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for posting this :D

  • And it knew to react to an unmoving camera how? It just perfectly puts out its camouflage cloud every time it passes a camera? You realize that makes zero sense, right?

  • Some people have noted that it's very likely she doesn't have "4 days to live". It's more likely she's heavily on pain meds and was told "if you don't start dialysis or get a kidney transplant, you will die in 4 days" and in her state misheard it. She's a young healthy person and renal failure doesn't work like that.

  • I fucking hate this day. Especially when it's "hey, here's something obviously cool that we should make, right? Nah, April Fools!" Get a better joke. Whole internet becomes a trash heap today with low effort gotchas. Not to mention this specifically is a 5 year old prank anyways.

  • I actually addressed this very point in a different comment. But basically I actually agree. I'm being dramatic with "this is my hill to die on". My hill is probably more "all of these episodes are very emotional and not just Jurassic Bark should be mentioned every time." I think your family and pet experiences play a lot in determining which episode hits you harder.

  • I'm sorry but "I'm naming you Philip J Fry, after my brother, who I miss every day" pans over to Fry's childhood drawing that Yancy has held onto for decades isn't that much nuance. If anything, the dog doesn't say a word so you have to pull a lot more from your own imagination.

  • So then you don't want me to remind you that Bender has no backup unit and only exists in the first place because young Hermes spared him? Cus that would probably crush you. Like a platform falling down a canyon.

  • Charging their doorbell with their couch

  • Absolutely, have at it. This was a fun chat 😁

    Also, with Lethal: I really enjoy that it adds the whole "Bender thought he was invincible but now he knows he doesn't actually have a backup and can die at any time" thing into the mix. Though in fairness, Bender has always said that his retirement plan was to flip his on switch to off, so I dunno if death really scares him.

  • be more charitable

    Says the guy who said I shit on his birthday cake lmao. I'm not offended btw, I thought it was hilarious. But like, I think we're more like brothers who pick on each other now. I'm sorry, but that's just the rules. I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

  • Honestly? I just don't really like that reddit behaviour of regurgitating the previous person's comment and passing it off as your own unique idea, that's all.

  • In regards to Jurassic Bark: I'll give you that, absolutely. It is pretty devastating and I don't want to deny that. Blind, trusting loyalty. It's really beautiful and crushing that he doesn't get closure. I'll even give you the retcon not counting since it probably only exists as a fan service.

    That said, I disagree that Fryish is 100% triumph. Yancy has missed his brother for years at this point. He still keeps around the drawing Fry did. He doesn't have to say the name and his wife already knows. He mentions that he still thinks of his brother every day. He clearly carrys a deep weight. Naming his son after Fry was symbolically giving Fry a life Yancy thought he didn't get. There's a lot of pain there in my opinion.

    I will absolutely give you that Game of Tones is a victory, but honestly, that one always makes me tear up. That one just feels.

  • I'll give you the wait. That scene does absolutely tug at my heart and I can appreciate that kind of loyalty and how beautiful it is from a pet.

    But that's why I see the brother, and his wait, as so much more powerful. He's still waiting and hoping that one day his brother will pop back up too. Especially with still having Fry's drawing.

    But to be honest, I'll also agree to disagree on that one - I think your experiences with family and pets growing up makes the episodes hit differently to different people.

    Most underrated emotional episode? I'm gonna go with Lethal Inspection. Where we find out Bender is defective and was supposed to be scrapped, but a young, sympathetic Hermes overrides the machine and spares baby Bender. I feel like that one rarely gets brought up and it's a pretty good one from the newer seasons. Definitely had a bit of a gut punch.

  • I'll die on the hill that Luck of the Fryish is sadder. One is a relationship between a human and a dog. The other is a relationship between two brothers. You really trying to say the dog is worse?

    I'll also put Game of Tones above Jurassic Bark. Fry getting to actually say goodbye to his mom and tell her how much he loved her? No contest.

    Besides the fact that they totally retconned Seymore anyways and he doesn't die alone anymore. It's the first movie. He lives out the rest of his life with Fry when he returns back in time.

    Luck of the Fryish ≥ Game of Tones > Jurassic Bark

  • "We know who they are. We don't really need due process. I'm not one of those people so nothing bad could ever happen to me so I don't care"

    Seriously, the amount of times I see violations of civil/human rights being acceptable because they're "the enemy" is really sad. Do you have no self awareness? That's EXACTLY what they're doing to you. Stop being a pot of crabs pulling us back in. Be better.
