We’ve already seen quite a few examples of ICE agents trying to kidnap someone and eventually giving up and running away because a crowd had gathered and shouted them down. That’s EFFECTIVE.

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

Capitalism is the real addictive monster, not boobs. :p

The Obscure @theobscure.bsky.social · 18h

I can see how pornographic content could be made addictive through the use of predatory tactics, but that's like saying video games are always addictive/wrong/gross because predatory gacha games exist. It's the specific mechanics that are a problem, not the content itself.

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

If he rejects the basic premises of the franchise, why not just promote a less "obsolete" series & let what he sees as a failure die?

"This Land is Your Land" is a much better anthem, and easier to sing (my preschool sang the first verse because nobody's getting 4 year olds to sing the Star-Spangled Banner). Look up Woody Guthrie to see why that would require a revolution though.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Not a medical expert of any kind, but isn't olive oil usually the go to for a "healthy" fat? Or fish oil for an animal product? Not beef tallow, that's for certain.

...I can tell he either never browsed used bookstores for Star Trek novels or never thought through the implications of seeing the names "Diane Duane" , "A.C. Crispin", " Diane Carey", "Judith Reeves-Stevens", etc. Not even looking into fan fiction!

The Obscure @theobscure.bsky.social · 1d

....does he have any idea who writes fan fiction? Or for that matter, a lot of the best published Star Trek novels? (check out Diane Duane and A.C. Crispin).

It's time for people to migrate to an OS that doesn't regard them as a product. That leaves Linux and...a bunch of nifty OSes that are worse in desktop usability (e.g. OpenBSD) and/or have approximately zero software/hardware support (e.g. Haiku). Almost every device have runs some Linux variant.

In the Kirby universe, Marxism is where you're a silly little clown guy who triggers the apocalypse so an ancient space computer can give you Eldritch God powers. As a political system it has its flaws but I'd still take it over what we have now

Yes. I buy being young, drunk, stupid, testosterone-poisoned, and with buddies, getting a symbol you don't recognize at a sketchy tattoo parlor in a foreign country. Keeping it after 20 years & studying a bit of military history in the meantime? Not a good look at all.
