This is a thread about the movie First Reformed (with the plot spoiled) and how it relates to the selfless act of self-immolation and protest done by Aaron Bushnell.
Aaron could have decided to take others with him, but sacrificed himself with a hope of ending an unjust “war”
But this also reminds me of Schrader’s movie
@FirstReformed
Ethan Hawke plays an alcoholic pastor, former US Army chaplain, in a church in upstate NY who lost his son in the Iraq War.
A woman tells him that her environmentalist activist husband wants her to get an abortion.

Damn, anyone in the NYC area that sees this can come see me free of charge with no judgments. Obviously dental work will cost some money, but I’m a reasonable man. I’ll do the exam and a cleaning for free at least

Yeah, and they still couldn’t find him until two other dudes recognized him and called the cops. He was just around the corner lol.

The Air Force Academy has been a home for radicalization among white nationalists and Christian theocrats for a long time. It’s infected the entire force.

Well the longer she is with him, the more she and her husband exhibit toxic behavior as a relationship. The earlier they divorce, the better for the son.
And who knows, maybe he’ll be a good, involved parent once they get divorced? That’s all the kid needs. Not a toxic house

It was revealed recently that a senator from Oklahoma claimed that he thought 13 y/os could legally consent to sex, but when asked if he thought his daughter could at that age, he deflected and said he hoped she wouldn’t make that decision. He definitely supports pedophilia.

My wife was raped when she was in dental school by another student when I was still active duty and across the country. We reported it to NYPD and NYU and nothing ever happened to the student. He’s now a practicing dentist. He was accused of the same thing in undergrad.

Yeah. Best case for the child is divorce. This is true in many cases. Divorce should be celebrated when it’s a decision made for the betterment of both parties.

I got a cease and desist when I was in 8th grade for having a website that posted Nintendo/Super Nintendo/Nintendo 64 games illegally for free download. I just threw it away and deleted my website. My parents didn’t find out until I was a grown ass man.
@christiolson
The economic system of the US forced some of us into hard decisions like this. My best friend died by suicide after he got back from Iraq as a medic. He never killed anyone but I dunno what he saw. I found his body and I haven’t felt that sad until tonight.
@MarisaKabas
Switched my primary care to the VA, which is still where I go. I get a med school resident as my primary care, but guess what …. it’s been the best care I’ve ever received.
So according to Judge Lee E. Haworth, if a “well credentialed” physician, who is presented as an expert in their field by the organization they work for, presents false evidence, we just have to assume it’s true and nothing will ever happen to the physician.

Lmao sorry but this is funny. You really think someone found this person and decided to make her racist Bambi? She is just like the country singer who went viral. She will disappear in a month and her only friend will be

She is known to be an insane person from back when she was on the Howard stern show. Benjy got mocked for dating her. This dude apparently is the son of a billionaire, but their combat talent is negative.
This dude is a Chinese-Canadian student who took down American affirmative action. He was mad he didn’t get into Harvard, but got into … checks notes … Berkeley as a foreign student? Are you fucking kidding me? He must have bombed his Harvard interview.
Calvin Yang, a member of Students for Fair Admissions, speaks out after winning the U.S. Supreme Court case against affirmative action:
“Today’s decision has started a new chapter in the saga of the history of Asian Americans.”

Obviously having a happy marriage with two loving parents is preferred, but this marriage is fundamentally broken. The longer they stay married, the more likely the kid will also end up in a toxic relationship / marriage

to reveal that he was an actor paid to be nice to her on the dates. He kept hinting at it: “so many coincidences huh. So random that we found him.” But nah, he was just a whacko that needs a handler (like my brother)

She may have discriminated against people that worked for her. And that might go to the top if a toxic leader like her was kept in a high position. You’ve clearly never been in the military

I do think the MTA should revisit allowing them to ride for free off-duty, unless every local/state/federal employee gets to ride for free off-duty.
@MarisaKabas
Yeah I had a civilian doctor when I was still in the Army that would constantly criticize my weight and then always make little comments about how HE lost weight since I last saw him. Not one question about why I was gaining weight … the addiction and suicidal ideations

Remember, when Obama’s citizenship was questioned, the Senate passed a non binding resolution to declare McCain eligible to be President, when he was not actually a naturally born citizen at the time of his birth (born in Panama before the rules changed about citizenship)

Yeah, especially as Israel states their goals are to completely take over Gaza and the West Bank. What else would you call it ? They want the Palestinian identity to be erased.
@amandacarpenter
All he’s ever done throughout his career was break the law and try to cover it up. Why would this be any different? It’s just that successful criminals know to distract and not to try to hide information. This is whatever the opposite of a “boss move” is.
As Israel exterminated hundreds of Palestinians in the Gaza ghetto, the odious propagandist

singled out Refaat Alareer (

What? If there were posters of hostages in Ukraine or Russia, and people tore then down (ie a Russian tearing down a Ukrainian poster or vice versa), you think their life should be ruined?
Posting a poster is free speech. Tearing down a poster is free speech. Not complicated.
