something I just thought of
if we lived in a society that was largely socialist or communist, people like, say, Ben Shapiro or Joe Rogan would be the exact same level of thoughtless dipshit that they are now
it's just their unexamined biases would be communist instead of capitalist.

genuinely, my favorite thing about The Good Place, one of my favorite shows, is that the final hurdle they had to defeat was that, like, Heaven is not designed for human beings in any way, shape or form

Our hero has had a CUNNING PLAN to use the reality warps to his advantage. His comrades are less amused. #amwriting

When you force feminize a boy, you can't just give him a feminine version of his name every time. Sometimes Steven shouldn't become Stephanie, I can't stress that enough.

gonna be honest, being an anti-vaxxer needs to become a "I am going to challenge you to a duel" offense
If you went and told a medieval peasant "we've basically cured disease as a concept (as far as you'd be concerned) but I have chosen to not take the cure and also prevent my child from taking the cure" they would rightfully stab you in the chest

working on what I think is the final chapter of reincarnated in a lonely universe. Our poor hero, trapped in a reality distortion wave, did that thing where you think of something you think will help (summon character from fiction to save me) and then it turned out to be a bad idea #amwriting

My contention is that the past, like, 10 years have been pretty much the Democrat's to lose. The republican death spiral was pretty much locked in and unavoidable the instant Trumpism started, and there was only one choice: Defeat it on the field of electoral battles.
it really was a supreme act of cowardice and political stupidity that democrats didnt turn trans rights into a policy pillar like gay marriage after the massive nationwide backlash against north carolinas bathroom ban in 2016

i'm sorry, sometimes I am reminded of what an astoundingly good, multifaceted work of art Watchmen is and have to think about how great it is for a bit, I work it out of my system after five, six hours

you know on reflection the fact that Dr. Manhattan's earliest memory is his father going, "No, you will not be a watchmaker, you will be a nuclear physicist" and he apparently never deviated from that at all really does just underline what a useless wet sponge of a human being he is

One of my favorite superhero settings, Progenitor, is funny cause it has all the halmarks of super-grim superhero fiction, where superpowers don't exactly make the world better - at best, they make it bad in new, different ways due to the nature of human chaos and the fact power is not wisdom

Yup!
Like, it wasn't an "you get cut, you die", they did know to wash wounds and change bandages and such. BUt if you weren't lucky, you'd get got.

one of the weird dualities of our world is how some of the most strident voices for AND against slavery in the 18th and 19th centuries?

weird thing: Sometimes, the frames will dip to, like, 50 and you would not think that's noticable, but it is. It's when there's a really long draw distance - which it doesn't feel like would drain my computer's spinny bits that much?
so, uh
i got cultic reinstalled on my linux machine since, being 1.8 gigs rather than 66, it would be faster than avowed and, uh...
I didn't...expect Cultic to run better since, like, it's a deliberately retro throwback shooter, it didn't have graphics to stress my old machine

I'm older than you so I can confirm that they came with a little book that had the tutorial in it and you read it on the way home
