  • What I find funny is that right now, because of the war, Ukraine legally can’t join NATO simply because there is a provision that blocks attempts from an already at war nation to join NATO.

    HOWEVER…if putin never tried this shit at all to begin with, Sweden and Finland wouldn’t have joined. Ukraine had an agreement with russia to not join NATO as part of their deal from the early 90s when they gave up their nukes. Now, literally the second the war ends, you KNOW Ukraine will be welcomed into NATO with open arms.

    The end result means that this war will have directly resulted in THREE new nations joining NATO that otherwise probably wouldn’t have even attempted it.






  • My problem is that I never even HEARD of the Home Depot thing.

    Here’s one you may or may not know about. Nestle actually engages in and uses literal slave labor to grow coco beans in other countries.

    So you think “well, how hard is it really to just buy hersheys chocolate instead? And buy your cookies from local bakeries?”

    Except no. Nestle is more than just chocolate. It’s like hundreds of brands. I’m constantly checking packaging now to see if their logo is on products. It owns DiGorno pizza. It owns Hot Pockets. It owns water bottles. It’s like half the grocery store. And that’s just ONE COMPANY!!!

    My issue isn’t accepting that you’re right. My issue is keeping track of it all. I’ve hated Nestle since 2012. I didn’t realize the scope of their brands until 2020. I think they even own a pet food company that makes dog food and cat food. Now granted I don’t have pets, so I’d not have delt with that, but still.

    I only have so many brain cells left to rot before I’m a full on dementia ridden crazy person who thinks it’s still the Nixon years, despite the fact I was born in 1983.


  • I remember when my dad would snore loudly, I’d always punch him in the balls really really hard, and then drop to the floor.

    One time he went to the doctor trying to run tests to figure out why his balls hurt every night. Doctors had zero clue what to make of that.

    I have an AMAZING poker face. Inside I was dying laughing. Outside, stonefaced.













  • No it wasn’t. The show made ZERO sense.

    Wednesday running around trying to PREVENT murders? That makes no sense!

    Plus, she’s being admitted into a school for people with special powers, but at the time of admittence, she has shown NO powers whatsoever. They do come later, but…when she’s admitted, she’s just a 16 year old girl.

    Plus, that thing where she looks back on her ancestor with the last name “Adams”, but the ancestor is on her mothers side? Why would the ancestor have the last name Adams? That implies that if she’s both an Adams, AND the mothers ancestor, that the whole Adams family is built on incest.

    And before you say the husband could have taken the mothers last name, first off, we know Morticia didn’t, and second, it would imply EVERY woman in the family timeline dating back to the 1700s also did this.

    Simple solution to all this…first off, make it so Wednesday has some motivation or reason why she’s not the one committing the murders, but also make it a reluctant reason. She still enjoys the murders, but she’ll get kicked out of school if she’s involved. Then make it so without the degree she can’t get her liscense as an embalmer. Which without that, she’s forced to get a normal person job.

    Then, keep her quirky room mate exactly the same. The only difference is, she’s not a warewolf. She’s just a preppy girl. Exactly as she was. She can turn into a warewolf later at the hands of Wednesday creating a potion or whatever, but it’s not naturally in her DNA.

    Now onto the school. It’s not a school for monsters. It’s just a regular ol’ private school.

    The preppy girl is the one solving the murders. Wednesday is reluctantly helping her. The rest of the school shits all over Wednesday, but this preppy girl is the one person who accepts Wednesday for who she is. So even though Wednesday LOVES the murders, she also sees the good in the preppy girl. She becomes protective of her. The rest of the town can fuck off, but the preppy girl is different.

    So she goes around town with the preppy girl TRYING to stay out of actually solving the murders, while still supporting the preppy girl. The problem is the preppy girl is REALLY BAD at solving these murders. Remember, she’s just a regular 16 year old girl. Meanwhile Wednesday has her periodic visions that solve the murders.

    And the bad guy makes no sense either. He hates the school because they have magic powers. So to defeat them he creates a cult of people with magic powers?

    I say make him just hate the Adams Family, including Wednesday. And his plan isn’t to do magical spooky shit. He’s just going to straight up kill Wednesday, until the preppy girl drinks the warewolf potion.

    See? Now it all makes sense, and doesn’t go against the core concept of the character. You can even keep in the viral dance.
