Why is my country being run by people who never outgrew being self centered 14 year olds like how did we get here

I mean I know how we got here because I was there for it but still how did we get here

Growing up during the Obama administration set my standards too high for how a leader ought to act.

Yeah he had a lot of issues just like any other president. I just assume that anyone willing to be president of the United States is at least slightly evil.

But at least he spoke in coherent sentences and at least pretended to have a shred of empathy. He surrounded himself with people that were so boring and competent that you didn’t need to hear about them most of the time.

And now the FBI director is a fucking podcaster

Imagine sitting in a country with billionaires and thinking that your poor immigrant neighbor is the one stealing your resources. 😐 The ones that struggling just as much if not more than you, and you think he's the reason you not eating, that there's some sort of lack... And not because of the person hoarding resources that clearly exist. 😐

924 Billionaires in the United States.

They could get rid of every undocumented person in this country and you STILL wouldn't get a bite of that money. Because a country that can produce 924 billionaires has vested interest in NOT sharing that money with you. Be so fucking for real.

All this just because I said that no, there are no "proper" protocols for splitting families apart and deporting people, and no partisan support of ICE would make ICE any less a police force akin to the SS (as people compare them to). That ICE itself is the problem, not who's in charge of it. 😐

"we do have an illegal immigration problem causing unfair distribution of resources" and this is out of the mouth of a liberal. And you're telling me this is the party that's gonna save us. 😐 Meeting fascists across the aisle is fascism peers.

"Why do you buy books when the library is right there?"

Because publishing houses will not continue printing paper books if libraries are their only customers.

Also, I like being able to read at my leisure and generally have books at hand.

#public libraries are good because they let people access books they might never otherwise read#private book ownership is good because it's Yours#physical books are good because they last a long time and again it's Yours#ebooks are good because you can fit a whole library into the physical space of a single book and they're cheaper to produce#audiobooks are good because they're accessible to people with eyesight or visual reading issues and leave your hands free#in conclusion: all books are good and people should enjoy them however and whenever they can#(lest it be misunderstood I agree with you completely OP I just also really like books in general and it got away from me)

YES. all books. every kind

I will occasionally see people bashing The Evils of Consumerism re:books - I have seen people saying things like "Well, I know is a bad habit of buying new books-".

Profit margins in publishing are really thin. Even if I'm not reading it RIGHT NOW, I do want the publisher to keep publishing the series!

Libraries are great, but if you have the money to buy books it is also great to support the authors you like!

Sales determine what they publish in the future. If nobody buys it, they're not going to make more of them.

no dude it's so cool how attached you are to that character who is singled out and ostracized due to the external monstrousness that clashes with their internal spark of humanity. and i love how drawn you are to themes of horror and love, nature versus nurture, otherness, isolation, and the abject. i bet you have normal feelings about your own personhood

Victor saying “the sun is life” means so much more when he proceeds to trap his creation away from it.

“The sun is life.”

And you shall not see it.

Victor thinks so lowly of the Creature, that he deprives him of something as minuscule as the warmth of the sun.

And in trapping the Creature where the sun can’t reach him, Victor Frankenstein practically tells him right from the start that he does not deserve life, nor the simple pleasures of it.

The sun is life.

He thinks the creature has no life.

The final scene of the movie, the Creature is bathed in sunlight.

It’s like he finally understands his value, and knows that he is in fact worthy of the simple pleasures of the world.

"Yes, Frankenstein is pretty but it lacks subtlety"

Guillermo del Toro laid his entire soul bare for us to gawk at and in the process made a true Romantic masterpiece, the least you could do is be grateful

I hate having an internal monologue. Girl shut the fuck up.
