!gaystapo !besties who else would do this

These don't have to be explicitly political. Just something that can be applied to our politics. Unfortunately while the writing in Madoka Magica is top tier and the story makes me feel in ways that few other forms of media can, it does not do politics very well which is why I took my favorite quote from a series that is actually based around geopolitics.

In a way this quote truly encapsulates the condition of our current political system, and in a way it mirrors the shinobi world quite well. For example we don't get to choose our sides. People act like we get a choice but there just are not many options. For example like the shinobi, we are given a village, a country. And that country can be segmented down into clans, families, and many other forms of allegiances. All of these are decided entirely by the nature of our own birth, rather than our own choices.

We are guided only by the necessity to make the most prudent choice. We are expected to be part of the group and sacrifice our entire being for its benefit. Like the shinobi each one of us is little more than a tool to be discarded when we are no longer useful. Is that not the way things should be?

Anyways, I'm excited to see your favorite anime quotes that can be applied to political systems! If anyone finds away to do this with the Madoka Magica series please let me know! I have been trying to find a way for years but it just doesn't seem to fit.

For me I think it was defending the 2nd amendment to my ex's friend who's sister got shot a week earlier

We've covered this in the past with:

• /r/starbucksbaristas: "we're so tired of homeless people overdosing in our stores". Also /r/starbucksbaristas "noo you can't ban homeless people from our stores, they're people too "

• /r/starbucksbaristas are still defending the homeless

They're still mad... OP has written an absolute wall of unhinged nonsense so let me pick out the key bits:

But this back to Starbucks stuff might have me at my breaking point. It all feels so illogical, it's not even smart capitalism the direction we are going. It's money-hungry greed packaged in between "we care" statements and vague community pledges.

"Back to Starbucks" = "you can't be in a Starbucks unless you're a paying customer", with the aim of returning Starbucks to the local coffee shop feel it once had, rather than a homeless daycare centre.

Anyway, since the reset, we have turned homeless people away from getting water, people who haven't purchased anything away from using the bathrooms, there was one woman holding her tooth asking for a cup of ice because she went to the dentist that we turned away because she didn't want to buy anything.

lmao you wouldn't give a woman holding her tooth some ice? YTA

One customer in the drive through wanted a cup of water and even offered to pay for it without any way for us to charge for just a single plain cup of water.

Who the frick goes to a drive thru for a cup of water?

What's stopping someone from buying a petite vanilla bean scone or avocado spread, using the restroom, then asking for a refund?

Nothing, but a homeless person won't do that.

I've seen SSV's be yelled at, baristas be heckled and given attitude

But I bet you haven't been assaulted by a homeless person or had to clean up the bathroom after an OD since the change.

If a human being is thirsty, I will give them water. If a human being is hungry and I can give them food, I will.

Work for UNICEF then.

Our CEO private jet commutes to work. He makes tens of thousands a second.

Calculator needed.

Dont believe it will evee be a coffee house. the way the company has gone downhill since howie left. we are far too gone to return back to pur roots. our roots are buried deep and new ceo is very focused on profits than experience

The new CEO is actually laser-focused on the coffee house experience, these baristas are deranged.

Someone tells OP they're wrong but they're buried at the bottom of the thread:

The bathroom policy has been good overall actually in my district. I'm in Manhattan. And while it is annoying sometimes to tell people they can't use the bathroom, and some people have an issue, it's MUCH better than dealing with: Guy who comes in weekly and takes all the napkins out of the dispensers and throws them all over the floor; the guy who would "take a shower" in the bathroom and leave the floor covered in water, and leave his loofah and soap behind; the guy who would come in and ask for a "sample coffee" 5x a day; the guy who would bring in multiple bags of cans and spread them out and organize them on the floor; the guy who would roll up his blunts and have loud explicit phone calls, and the NYPD said they couldn't do anything lol; the guy who would stay in our bathroom for 20 mins, and when we'd ask him to get out he'd sit at a table and put his needles on the table while he slept; the lady who would sit in the lobby all day and occasionally yell and insult customers

It's over Ukroids

Attending debates should be like attending class: you can get out of it with a note from your doctor, and nothing less. Failure to debate at least once should be grounds for disqualification. And in case there are concerns about the bias of the debate itself, create a department in Elections Ontario/Canada to handle the questions asked, to ensure it's even-handed.

Conservatives in particular play this game far too often, and it shouldn't be ignored. They're denying the electorate the ability to judge them on their merits.

/u/RideauRaccoon

Authoritarian nonsense born out of you never maturing past your school years. And I'm just positive that a new department would never be bias in favour of the party in power or do anything to sabotage the party most likely to cut their department.

What do you really think will happen at these debates? The same that always happens, nothing! Every word spoken by both sides will be lies and rhetoric with a handful of out of context sound bites taken by the party in opposition to try and rile up their base.

And what school did you go to where doctors note were required? Every single one I went to a parents word was enough and even then no one really cared. You could miss a week, never talk about it never have your parents call in to "excuse" you and nothing would come of it.

Grow up.

Hunter Biden reportedly 'commandeered' the White House after Biden's disastrous debate with Trump:

Lindy Li: "After the debate, Hunter basically commandeered the White House. He sat in on all of the White House top level meetings. We had a former cocaine addict sitting in on the most sensitive meetings of the most consequential and most important government in world history. Does that sit right with you?"

Shawn Ryan: "No."

Li: "Without security clearance mind you. That's basically who was running the show.

Hunter basically batten down the hatches after the debate to make sure his father would only receive intel he pre-approved."

The Biden administration makes a lot more sense if you view it through the prism of 'The brains of the operation was on crack'

/r/army is actually for the most part okay with it but there's still some seething

Good to see the important issues are being tackled.

I'm sure you took that attitude when it was changed the first time.

I wonder how much money this will cost the DoD and the rest of the American people….

What a waste of money? This administration is stupid and petty.

Good to know that they're laser-focused on government efficiency.
