Look, saying Biden deserves to be hung upside down by a flag in Times Square wouldn't even be hate speech. It would just be celebrating the fight for freedom! Screw you, Biden.

I can't stand when facts and rules get ignored. Character contradictions really bug me, and I just can't relate them to real life.
Not even close. Real life isn't Cicely, and a place like that doesn't exist anywhere. It would be lovely if it did, though; I'd move there in a heartbeat.

Well, obviously there's nothing new in a show you've already seen! 😁 There aren't many movies or series you can binge three times over. I'm actually watching it for the third time right now after a long break, and I'm loving it. I love Friends and Seinfeld too, but it'll take me a while before I feel like revisiting them. If a show was good the first time, then it's a good show. Just because it doesn't hit the same way again doesn't mean anything at all. A joke rarely lands twice! 🙂

When it comes to movies and shows, the last thing I expect is total realism. Actually, I want them to veer away from reality as much as possible to give the creators the freedom to actually tell a story. So, I don't have any complaints about that. It's an imaginary world—fiction! Sometimes I'm in the mood for fiction, and other times I want to watch documentaries to see how the world actually works since I can't see it from my armchair.

I love the world they built and the characters they created, and I'm not going to nitpick every little imperfection.

Man, what a fantastic show!

Instead of people feeling relieved or happy that they actually have the choice to vaccinate their children, over 80% of you seem to be pushing back against it.
It feels like we’re dealing with a collective wave of madness here, almost like we've regressed to some medieval mindset—as if we were living under the thumb of the Inquisition, the old USSR, the former UN, or even modern-day South Korea. 🤦
I’d really like to ask the site admins to just lock this thread and wipe these poll results clean. 😁

Don't sweat it, 🙂 polls are a joke because the anti-vax crowd has a massive army of clones here just spamming votes and repeating the same three lines in every single post. Actually, it's really just one line: "New phenomena will kill you in ten years." 🤣 They're convinced they know the truth.

It’s just that the way some of these moderators act totally justifies people thinking that way.
I mean, if there isn't any cash changing hands, why act like this? Is someone pulling your strings behind the scenes?

Honestly, looking at the absolute chaos on the Media and coronavirus subforum, those folks at the CDC are pretty clueless if they're actually paying for this level of mess.

I’d bet my bottom dollar that Reddit is getting a massive kickback from the anti-vaxxers, considering how many of them there are and just how loud they get!

bluemason3 said:Seriously, what other sport or league has ever seen anything even remotely like this? It’s wild to think about. Honestly, it blows my mind how rare this actually is in the grand scheme of things. It basically means we’re doing way better than we care to admit!

I'm right there with you on that. But hey, a little excitement doesn't hurt!

Crimes of passion or revenge? Those don't really rattle me. That stuff is just part of being human, right? It's baked in. What actually turns my stomach are crimes driven by pure hatred, greed, or—even worse—just senseless, random violence.

But if a wife takes out her cheating husband in his sleep? I get it. Totally. 😁

First off, I really want to know what drove him.

It’s pretty obvious this was about trying to right a wrong, especially since the guy ended his own life in the end. Look, the method was desperate and totally insane, but there’s always a reason. There’s always a reaction to something that happened earlier. Something pushed him to do this.

If we actually want to cut down on crimes like this, we have to deal with whatever happened *before* the crime itself. We have to stop that part. He didn't just wake up one day and decide to kill people for no reason.
