doing the explain-whats-happening thing while watching home alone 2 with a 5 year old is an absolutely wild generational reality check
that’s an airport, they’re trying to get on the plane, you uh, you can’t do that anymore
that’s new york, yes exactly right that’s the statue of liberty. why? um well about a hundred years ago or a little more people used to come here on boats and they’d see that statue and know they were in a better country. that’s how we got here. now? uh well.
that’s the world trade center. that’s not there anymore.
that’s uhhhh. ok. so. that guy became president. no he wasn’t president here. no he just wanted to be in a movie. he’s not important. no he’s not going to be the president much longer.
that’s a credit card reader. they used to have to make a copy of the credit card.
yeah that’s a great question but no his mommy couldn’t just call because they didn’t have phones then. well they had phones but not like our phones. they used to use wires.
don’t worry it’s still a hilarious movie if you’re a kid but you are absolutely blind to this stuff until you realize it makes no sense to someone else without explaining it
yes the toys in this toy store aren’t very good I’m not sure how this ever made sense to be honest. oh yeah that’s a firework and swiss army knife it has a bunch of uh screwdrivers and stuff on it no you don’t want that no I don’t think a kid could ever buy all this stuff

it’s so obvious I can’t believe it needs to be explained. if one person votes with a golf pencil in connecticut and another votes with a bic pen in nebraska, that’s it, throw out the results
clearly the endgame here is not an actual expectation that the court even hears this case but that owing to the nature of the discrepancies all voting must be administered by one central federal authority that will conveniently ensure the rules favor those who make them
under the argument texas is advancing there is no possible set of circumstances under which states could administer their own elections without creating instantly invalid circumstances by virtue of being administered differently
if I invited you to a dog-lover’s club and told you half of the people in the club enjoy smashing puppies with a hammer as a hobby and the other half doesn’t enjoy it, do you think you’d join up and not expect to be considered a puppy smasher
OH YEAH I LOVE DOGS BUT NOT LIKE THAT I AM ONE OF THE GOOD ONES THATS WHY I STAY IN THE CLUB WITH THE BLOODY HAMMER FOLKS
NO I MEAN I GET ALONG WITH THEM FINE I DONT LIKE WHAT THEY DO TO PUPPIES BUT YOU KNOW AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ALL LOVE DOGS WE JUST EXPRESS IT DIFFERENTLY

I read the whole article because I have a sickness and can’t get enough of dumpster diving for treasure into sad loser land and welp I can tell you it is an article
I dunno maybe don’t use your kid as a prop to make his santa experience a centerpiece in your internet culture war would be my takeaway, tell him no big deal that wasn’t the real santa and put on an avengers movie and buy him a fuckin nerf gun like a well adjusted human
I AM SO TRIGGERED BY A DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE AND CONCERNED FOR THE FUTURE OF MY CHILD I WILL POST HIM ONLINE FOR OUTRAGE CLICKS, THAT WILL BE GOOD FOR HIM
these people are like the amish in that they’ve decided that nothing about society is allowed to be different than the experience they had and every new packet of info is an existential threat to their way of life, except militantly online
it is a mystery why any lawyer would try to win a case since apparently the secret to success in the legal system is losing as many times as possible in the most embarrassing fashions
trump has crossed the threshold of losing so much that there’s now a fully stocked pantry of case law from his prior losses for judges to throw at him in supporting their rulings, which happened twice today
