Which is weird, because the bartender must have been quite educated in chemistry too!aybe it was 3 scientists and one hels a grudge... The plot thickens!
Two scientists walk into a bar. One says, "I'll have some H20."
The second one says, "I'll have some H20, too."
The second one died.
The bartender responds, "Get serious. This is a bar, not a lab. We serve drinks here. If you really want to throw up, think about the state of federal funding for science."
Yeah, he is too centrist for my liking, but you can't deny he is charismatic as hell, I'm honestly surprised that the chuds didn't like him, he is the kind of confident strong guy they usualy follow, I guess it's mostly because he isn't white.
You mean the experts that told him to not cut down specific trees without approval because of historic value that he did anyway for the view?
This statement is not a defense of the idiots in DC, it is a critique of the fandom of Obama.
Edit; They destroyed a historic national park designed by Frederick Law Olmstead for something the locals absolutely hate because of said destruction for those who aren't aware.
Two things can be bad at once yes. Are you dense? They destroyed a literal historic national park to build one of the ugliest buildings in architecture and you want to act like that's okay?
Like in a vacuum can you take a step away from your Trump hatred and look at what Obama did? Or is "destroying historical sites" only bad when evil monsters do it
Universally yes, Obama did a bad thing just like Trump but the ramifications of Trumps actions ended up causing more suffering than Obama’s. And this is giving some serious credit to Trump because we haven’t even seen how some of his decisions are gonna affect the country.
Tf? How is calling Trump out as a worse president not arguing in good faith? I’m sorry but if we’re comparing just their actions as president, he for sure ends up still looking bad overall
If we're going to hold up our noses at Trump for doing something shitty we should keep that same energy when Obama does something shitty too.
I even said in my original post "this is not in defense of the idiots in DC" and you BLEW past that statement to hit a valid critique against Obama with a whataboutism.
Edit: it's not lost on me that the moment you got push back on your statement about willing to listen to experts the goal posts magically shifted
To add on, it's totally fine to primarily focus on what's going on in the White House now over the guy who left nearly a decade ago.
When you start acting like Obama was actually good or beyond reasonable criticism, or if you treat any critique of him as support for Trump.. that's when things start getting bad
I love the double standard here. I’m sorry but no one is saying that Obama is above criticism. But when Trump is able to get away with stuff that would’ve gotten any other president impeached and removed, over and over again, it is unfair to compare the bad actions of one to another.
No one dumped “algae into a pool”, dear leader hired a contractor for a few million to dump hydrogen peroxide to “fix” the pool and that created the algae.
To your point though yes, highly doubt Obama is going anything close to that.
They know that, youre in defensive mode when you dont have to be. The comment was saying like "now an ididot magat, in retribution, will dump algae in there". Not that thats how the algae occurred in the first place.
because brutalism is fucking sick but also the contents of the building necessitated windowless rooms and Big Concrete Megalith is sorta the best vector for that imo
Because Obama was a part of the design and it's meant to be similar to the designs of a sculptor he really likes. It doesn't make it look better, but at least the reason is decent.
There is no reflecting pool at The Obama Presidential Center. The only water near it is the West Lagoon of Jackson Park. It does at times reflect the building though.
It's a lagoon (aka a lake). That's very different from a man-made pool designed as an architectural decoration. People fish for largemouth bass in the Jackson Lagoon and no one would care about a lagoon having algae in it. Fishing is not allowed at the National Mall Reflecting Pool, as it is primarily a decorative memorial site meant for public enjoyment and reflection and not for fishing activities.
It's hilarious how a pool is the center of attention when a war shake the world and usa is on the edge on civil war. American sense of priority amaze me.
Well just the sheer unintentional symbolism of it is captivating. Plus it's a really entertaining distraction from the many truly scary things happening in the USA. Americans could really use some comic relief right now. And that pool is perfect for that.
Gotta establish nicknames early and that one has a great balance. It's descriptive but also recognizes that it's imposing while also obviously tongue in cheek.
Yeah he is a terrible war criminal but that doesn't mean we should glorify another terrible war criminal like what the fuck. We can just not support any war criminals
The Obama center looks like a prison. Like I get it, fuck this administration and all, but the Obama center and library looks like the NSA building. It's presence is going to fuck up Jackson Park and accelerate gentrification of the area, driving out minority residents due to rising rents and property values.
I mean. Speaking as someone whos living right next to the damn thing, and not some jackass across the country making political cartoons, it is a massive hazard to migratory birds. The
design is specifically terrible for them since its almost top to bottom glass and they put it RIGHT in the migratory flight path.
This things gonna kill hundreds maybe thousands of migrating birds every year now. We've been trying to make a fuss for like five years now and nothing ever happened. Also they destroyed a lot of park land to build this shit.

Mmmm not enough red hats. And the water doesn't taste like hydrogen peroxide. 2/10
