    Yes i get that

    But we also live on an oblong sphere, which is 3 dimensional

    The axes of north and south, east and west, are two dimensional

    If you have a ship that can sail through anything, with infinite provisions, and you sail past the south pole, you will end up going north. That doesnt suddenly discount the fact that up until a certain point, you were going south. If the sea is immediately around the island, which it is, and is on the opposite side of the exact point of the axis, i wouldnt call that a misnomer.

    When you are in that area you’re essentially sailing south until you’re sailing north. If we came at it from the other side it would likely be called something different.

    The map he linked literally shows the Ross sea south of Antarctica.

    Also since its earth is spherical and its near the south pole you can really go any direction and find a sea… that just becomes a matter of perspective.

    In this case, specifically, the wedell sea is to the north of the continent




  • Oppenheimer Barbie Place Beyond the Pines

    Didn’t get the hype for any of them at all. Oppenheimer was just fucking stupid and entirely too long for no reason, plus the Florence pugh scene where shes just sitting with her tits out for no reason was just wildly out of place

    Barbie was just generic trash, and everyone knew or should have known it was a money grab. I dont think it was feminist at all, it was basically Marvel but for girls, and I generally think most marvel movies are bad

    Place beyond the pines was just boring. And the plot was horrid.







  • You do if you want to steal said car and then turn around and tell everyone that it was actually yours to begin with

    We know its a lie. He knows it’s a lie. Probably even the idiots who vote for him know its a lie. But if you say a lie enough times and people don’t tell you to fuck off, it becomes the truth.

    The same way that people are taught that the american civil war was fought for states rights, not slavery, when we know that most of the states seceded because of slavery

    So that would be their car payment then if it’s pre insurance. That also tracks.

    I pay 165 a month for one car and I haven’t had any tickets or accidents in over 7 years so might depend where you live as well

    But now imagine if that 12 min car ride was easily bikeable or had public transport. You’d get to places far easier and you would have shops etc around you so you didn’t have to drive 20 min to get to a grocery store.


  • The fact that it is not mandatory should not even register with anyone with half a brain cell.

    The US is just so stupidly backwards and going even further in that direction that it’s even an option to not vaccinate your kids.

    All that’s going to happen is that this country will push out all the intelligent people who will want to leave for somewhere with some intelligence and the oligarchs will be left to rule over a blatantly stupid populace who force themselves into slavery
