fucked up how the “bad guy” in toy story 2 was just an adult toy collector and toy store owner whose only crime was getting a good deal at a yard sale
not only that but his “evil plan” was to send woody and the other toys from woody’s line to a museum for preservation
dude winds up losing his entire livelihood and going bankrupt and sobbing on live television all because he wanted to preserve a piece of history in a museum
Andy’s mom clearly said Woody wasn’t for sale and kept him in a locked box so nobody could take him. Al distracted Andy’s mom with a skateboard crash and then proceeded to pick the lock on the box and stole him.
Al also turned off the fences at Jurassic Park and psychologically tormented Jerry Seinfeld for years on end.
Personally, I’m happy to pay an extra 4.3% for my fast food burger if it means the person making it for me can afford to feed their own family. If you aren’t willing to fork over an extra 17 cents for a Big Mac, you’re a fundamentally different person than I am.
I’m perfectly content to pay taxes that go toward public schools, even though I’m childless and intend to stay that way, because all children deserve a quality, free education. If this seems unfair or unreasonable to you, we are never going to see eye to eye.
If I have to pay a little more with each paycheck to ensure my fellow Americans can access health care? SIGN ME UP. Poverty should not be a death sentence in the richest country in the world. If you’re okay with thousands of people dying of treatable diseases just so the wealthiest among us can hoard still more wealth, there is a divide between our worldviews that can never be breached.
underrated john mulaney quotes:
- “he never forgets a bitch ever”
- “…and he was almost impressed!”
- “because we’re delta airlines / and life is a fucking nightmare”
- “SCATTER!!!!!!!!”
- “…which is some racist-ass bullshit, but also incredibly well coordinated for a group of thirteen year olds”
- “i’m a little fat girl”
- “the best thing about that was that after that, cars were pulling up and looking over to see who just did that piece of shit move, expecting to see like a 100-year-old blind dog who’s texting while driving and drinking a smoothie, instead they see a 28-year-old healthy man trying his best”
- “and i was the ONE pre-y2k asshole going ‘and also with you!’”
- “Don’t you have to do a shift at school tomorrow?” *drinking like it’s the end of the world* “Ehhhh, I’ll just show a video.” “That’s why teachers show videos?!”
Tag yourself I’m “SCATTER”
I think people often underestimate the potential educational value of senseless memes. For example, thanks to Spiders Georg, literally every teenager on Tumblr has a reasonable grasp of what a statistical outlier is and the sorts of problems that outliers can introduce into a naïve analysis. There are grown adults who don’t get that - I deal with them on a daily basis.
