Not onion-y enough. Those two would definitely be besties irl.

Not sure if they're besties, but they definitely know each other through the Kennedy family.

Ha, the nypost and its incredibly complimentary article. The feats it lists for rfk are hilarious nothings, like "re-establishing the presidential fitness test" that we know does nothing for school children's health, and getting various dyes out of food.

Not a peep about killing $500 million in advanced vaccine research or about vaccine restrictions that will kill literal thousands, if not tens of thousands of Americans a year. This article slightly pre-dated the CDC clusterfuck but im sure they wouldnt have mentioned it either.

Cant be healthy if youre dead you right wing rag.

Don't look into all of the connections regarding your comment. It gets weird...

So... Arnold married JFK's niece and they had kids.

One of those kids grew up and married Chris Pratt.

"uh-oh he's incubating brain eating syphilis right behind me, isn't he? did that just happen? "

Chris Pratt and Zachary Levi could play his angel and evil versions sitting on his shoulders

They'd be both evil though of course

OK, I'm going to ask it here because I am completely out of the loop. Why do so many people hate Chris Pratt so bad? I even went to his wiki page and didn't find anything really egregious about him (at least nothing worse than some of the other folks in the industry).

Went from chill goofball stoner to right wing religious douchebag.

[–] Maroon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Shit, really? I read that snippet about the controversy regarding the church he attended, but did he personally say or do something crappy?

[–] Soulg@ani.social 3 points 1 week ago

He has some problematic ideas that I don't remember, but more recently he was defending rfk jr

There was a dust-up about something he said about his kids. I'm not going to quote it because I don't remember it well enough to do that.

Chris Pratt used to be a Chris Farley type character (fat & affable)

After the mainstream success of 'Guardians of The Galaxy' he became a Chris Pine type character (flat & stiff)

I think you meant the voice of the worm.

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The timing of this is impeccable. I just remarked about his voice yesterday

Tip: If you add a flanger filter to any Chris Pratt dialog , he sounds exactly like RFK Jr.
