Why does C3P0 always stand like he's ready to block an errant goal kick from a 5 year old soccer player?

It sounded much better in the original Cyrillic language.

The Left, including Good Morning America, educates people about what they call, "systematic racism" which is a creation of left that allows them to shakedown more companies and go back further in history to build their victim culture.**sharpens virtual editorial red pencil**SYSTEMIC not SYSTEMATICThere should not be a comma after call. Why would you sprinkle good punctuation marks around so carelessly? The comma deserves better. It is innocent, why do you abuse it so?"creation of left" Ooopsy! You dropped your definite article and now sound distinctly...Russian?Shakedown is a noun, you were looking for "shake down" as the verb, or maybe you were looking for your spacebar but couldn't find it? This time machine/architecture analogy hurts my brain. It would hurt yours too, Kari, if you had one. Or if you were an actual journalist. **drops virtual red pencil, meanders off in search of restorative caffeine**

Wait, we Leftists get to go back in time? Where do we sign up for our time travel tickets? 🎫 I love how the idea of getting corporations to change their packaging somehow brings us some money. She’s telling on her self. All she wants out of political activism is money. And the illiteracy of just throwing in ‘product placement‘ like that’s part of the terminology for political theory is *chef’s kiss*. But who is the CIA Parrot guy? Another CIA employee who went batshit crazy like Michael Scheuer? 😳

Also can trump not just cardiac embolism of votes now?

Thank you! So tired of the systemic/systematic muddle. Systematic just means being really fucking diligent. The hating on ‘systemic’ and ‘cultural Marxism’ 🙄🙄🙄🙄 is a blast from the past when these Bircher type, mimeographed newsletter weirdos were all very concerned about ‘eggheads’. Who, in the highest reaches of government! were going to something something plus weaken the country. It’s like the 1964 era Birchers are running everything. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Thank you! If that's a sample of her writing, I pity the kids she's homeschooling.

Good point. I’m not usually a fan of transient jargon and phrases that everyone repeats too much but if we have to have the term “baked in” why can’t we use it about racism, especially in the police? “The racism is baked in”. Now no one should ever use ‘baked in’ again. 😊

It didn't take me long, but I feel you. I learned to like lumps by thinking of them as dumplings. Visualization doesn't work so well with...well, you know.
