I read where he was receiving an MBE from the queen and yelled "frick the queen! I have a bomb!" It's got to be a terrible illness to live with, but that's some objectively funny shite

frick kids these days have their venmo qr code under their pillow.

I was running yesterday and some neighborhood kids were selling lemonade for a dollar. I just waved because I didn't have any cash to give them. On my next pass, they were announcing that they have Venmo! Take your little asses inside :lol:

My opinion is that if you have Tourette’s and are known to blurt out curse and offensive words, you should prolly stay home.

Apparently he was there to be honored for his film...about being accepted in public despite his tourette's diagnosis. I don't think they should have to lock themselves away so no one ever gets offended by tics that aren't directed at anyone. If you're not mature enough to handle bad words that are part of someone's medical issue, maybe you're the one who should stay home.

BAFTA Film Awards host Alan Cumming thanked the audience for their understanding on Sunday night after a number of outbursts from Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson during the show.

Davidson, who is the inspiration for BAFTA-nominated movie “I Swear,” was diagnosed with the syndrome at the age of 25. His symptoms, which first began when he was 12, include tics and uncontrollable outbursts, often involving cursing.

A number of outbursts could be heard throughout the BAFTA ceremony, including “shut the frick up” being shouted during an introductory speech from BAFTA chair Sara Putt and “frick you” when the directors of “Boong,” which won the BAFTA for best children’s and family film, accepted their award. During another outburst, the audience inside the BAFTAs heard Davidson shout the N-word when Michael B, Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented the award for best visual effects to “Avatar: Fire and Ash.”

I don't understand why you guys always throw in the "I voted for Trump X amount of times but" like it lends weight to your point.

---

It's thrown out because the true MAGA believers will label anyone who isn't 100% lockstep with Trump policy as a leftist, troll, etc. It doesn't change anything though, as you can see by the responses in this thread

You voted for him three times. Tariffs weren’t hidden. They weren’t subtle. They weren’t buried in policy white papers. They were a central plank of his economic message from 2016 forward. Trade wars, China, “they’re ripping us off,” all of it was front and center.

By the third vote, he was absolutely a known quantity. He had already imposed tariffs in his first term. The effects were debated publicly for years. But you're upset about tariffs now like you discovered something new?

---

Coincidentally, I voted for him 3 times (:lol:) but I still reserve the right to call out policy I don't like. He was the best option based on my beliefs. People who think for themselves shouldn't have an issue calling out things that go against their beliefs instead of just changing when the wind blows.

quote:

---

To borrow a phrase from MAGA, "This is what you voted for." YOU are responsible for this.

---

This much is true. I still wouldn't change my vote. I do think his own voterbase will be disproportionately affected by his decisions here

I love the lent loophole of just stuffing your gullet with endless fried fish as if that’s in gods wishes.

I’m not apart of this community so no judgment I just find it hilarious that people are supposed to be facing a penance and find a very easy modern way around it

We're technically not called to fast on Fridays, only abstain from meat. I do it anyway because I'm aware we'll be indulging in a fish dinner tonight. But a priest or anyone who's being honest about the purpose will tell you that going to be a glutton at a seafood buffet is kind of missing the point, even if you're abstaining from meat.

no where did you explain how leving a 10% tariff on foreign countries equates to the US govt "taxing" "us" more.

---

Well it's pretty simple: that's not what a tariff is. Hope this helps!

My wife and I fast on Lenten Fridays to prepare for a fish plate from the church. Nothing hits better than that fried fish when your panza is growling!
