"And He said to it, 'May no one ever eat at this McDonald's again.' And His disciples heard it. As they passed by in the morning, they saw the McDonald's franchise permanently closed."

I feel like the modern day version of this would be Jesus getting into town late after a long drive with his bros, seeing a fast food place that still has its lights on, pulls up hoping to get a bite, only to find that it's closed and the crew just forgot to turn the lights off

Jesus's fig tree incident may be a little deeper than I previously thought, and admittedly there's rich symbolism to cursing a tree that is putting out all the signals that it is bearing fruit, only to be completely lacking

But it is also still very funny to me

Fussing. Ranting. I do not like being ranted at, especially runaway rants

I'm coming around to the belief that there's been too much focus on changing minds and not enough on making them

Brains are messy, and the way to introduce contradictions isn't to center them around fighting an existing belief; if anything that solidifies what may be a halfhearted belief

Joints are really hurting; I think a lifetime's worth of strange physical tics experienced constantly is going to catch up to me very, very hard in the coming decade

I wonder if I'll still be able to play video games

the democratic base deserves politicians who actually like them, share their priorities, and appreciate their way of live. enough of these aristocratic assholes who act like we should be so grateful for them to even pretend to give half a fuck about us

It’s not framed this way, but what they’re demanding is that people in cities like NYC refuse to address their issues to privilege the politics of “flipping red and purple seats blue,” which they haven’t even demonstrated an ability to do.

You don’t get to name your kid X Æ A-12 and then say “or whatever his name is” about anyone else.

Elon Musk endorses Cuomo for mayor of New York and makes sure to add some racism in there: “…Mumdumi or whatever his name is.”

Elon Musk: Remember to vote tomorrow in New York!
Bear in mind that a vote for Curtis is really a vote for Mumdumi or whatever his name is.
VOTE CUOMO!

Basically, the Mega Man Classic timeline is the story of a panicked world choking on its own contradictions, and people like Dr. Light are the wide-eyed utopians attempting to build a brighter future despite it all

Funnily enough the MMBN timeline comes closer to a peaceful, prosperous utopia

Dugtrio17 @dugtrio17.bsky.social · 3d

Hell, in what sort of world would Dr. Cain, an ARCHAEOLOGIST, be the one who discovered X a century later?

It's easy to look at the constant warring and chaos of the X series' world and think "Wow, Dr. Light sure made things a lot worse", but it seems like it was already like that for other reasons

There's some implication that Sigma found Wily's last lab, and that's where he got more complete info about Zero and the virus

What's interesting to me is that this actually comes together to create some fascinating worldbuilding: in what sort of world would such a lab NOT be immediately searched?

Dugtrio17 @dugtrio17.bsky.social · 3d

It's probably already a popular fan theory, but I think the in-story reasons for X5's Zero Virus stages resembling Classic series levels (well, parts of the first and last ones, at least) is due to literally taking place in remnants of conflicts from the century prior

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our country—pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialists—are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world. The Uniparty would never have achieved what it has in this country without a great degree of rottenness, of decadence, of torpor, of complacency already
