An Independent Conservative

This is your only trigger warning.  This is a free speech blog dedicated to an open and peaceful dialog between political parties.  (Fair warning, my nerdiness has invaded as well as my love of tiny adorable animals, couldn't be helped.)

My barn, begone chicken

[macrolit]

Sonic? Do I want to starve in 10 days or die of grease in 3 days??

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

Chipotle. I’m gonna die of gastroenteritis

[official-ginger-kid]

Popeye’s. I’ve never been there.

[punished-ghost-of-tamale]

Olive garden. Ill take it.

[i-fear-neither-death-nor-pain]

Chick-fil-A. Not bad. I like the wrap with creamy salsa

[theindependentconservative]

Same - also like chicken and fasting wouldn’t be too bad

.....also waffle fries

I don’t know if you know who Brandon Sanderson is, but apparently some authors are made at him for raising $27 million + on Kickstarter for books he wrote before the deadline is over, even though his actual goal was $1 million for the entire time frame. They claim they are not jealous, but the fact that they keep insisting his race is indicative of his success and complain his characters aren’t diverse enough (they actually are; he doesn’t preach about it) makes me raise my eyebrows.

I don't know and I'm not sure I care....

For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.

We’re losing our collective shit laughing at this. Holy crap it’s so funny, please turn the sound on.

Army eases fitness test standards for women, older troops

WASHINGTON (AP) — After three years of complaints and debate, the Army has scrapped its move to have a physical fitness test that is gender- and age-neutral, and will now allow women and older soldiers to pass while meeting some reduced standards.

This is insane. If women aren’t passing this test about what you need to do to be physically fit, then so fucking be it. The battlefield won’t lower its standards, so neither should we.

[mornington-the-crescent]

While soldiers are bleeding out on the battlefield, unable to be dragged or carried to safety by people who couldn’t meet the physical standards required to do so, they can die content in the knowledge that at least our armed forces are the most Diverse™ and Inclusive™ in the world.

We’ve won a few battles in the midst of losing a lot of “wars” since 1945. As our political and military leadership goes woke, we can be sure the battles and wars we’ll win in the future will become fewer and further between.

[sgtpaine]

This is simply reverting to the standards in place 3 years ago. The PT test has always been scored on a sliding scale for age and women have always had a lower requirement. Three years ago they decided to make it age and gender neutral. No need for a 45 year old female clerk or cook to be required to meet the same standard as a 19 year old infantry soldier.

[generallemarc]

Women shouldn’t have a lower requirement. 

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Five bucks says mainstream feminism won’t say a word about this. And if they do, they’ll somehow make it about misogyny, not blatant systemic female privilege.

Box Office: ‘Joker’ Tops $1.02 Billion As ‘Joker 2’ Goes Into Development

Hollywood Reporter has revealed that a 'Joker' sequel is officially in development.

Errrr… I’d prefer a film based around someone else in the same universe?

[dangerouslyzanyperson]

Clayface movie about the Hollywood life and all that comes with it?

[annotated-dc]

Mr Freeze movie about how the American healthcare system sucks, with Nora being built more as a character in her own right instead of a body in a vat Victor stares forlornly at?

[generallemarc]

You already have a comic book movie about how the American healthcare system sucks. It’s called Joker and it just made over a billion dollars. But apparently that’s not good enough because…because.

[siryouarebeingmocked]

Nora’s also been a character in the comics, and if you don’t have Nora in a jar, there goes Freeze’s primary character drive. It would be like having Batman without dead parents. 

You can technically do it, but it would take a lot of extra work and be a very different character.

[skelecausal]

It could work if she’s an actual character in the beginning of the movie but gets jar’ed at around the midpoint

[saint-ambrosef]

idk who needs to hear this but sadblogging is only going to make your mental health worse

constantly flushing your dash with content about how you hate being alive, others' vent posts about how terrible they feel every day, sad poems, "nobody will every love me" aesthetic pics, etc. its okay to express your struggles sometimes but building a collection of misery and despair is making you worse.

Saw this on fb yesterday and I’m genuinely still laughing
