Just realized my bio is out-of-date and I'm not sure what to put here. Sociology student, full-time father, polyamorous bisexual, living in Texas and hating it? Days consists of playing JRPGs, watching films (some for my Film Studies minor), and reading.

It is actually quite tragic that Fidel gave Allende a gun because he was like idk man they are gonna kill you you can’t do it this way and Allende only ended up using it on the day of the coup to defend himself for hours and then kill himself

The newest Mission Impossible is a pretty great film if only for the fact that, despite being a direct sequel to the previous one, it's completely coherent and impactful to those just wanting to see a MI film. I know because I did not see the previous one and still understood and enjoyed this film

People think we live in a democracy and not a dictatorship of capital cause they don’t want to contend with what you have to do to get out of a dictatorship of the ruling class
There is not a single congressional district in the U.S. where more than 15% of voters support cuts to SNAP, the federal program that provides food assistance to millions of low-income Americans.

Suikoden 1 does not make it clear when someone has joined your army at all. Krin tried to poison me, we knock him out, then I'm looking at my party roster for our next mission and he's there? Same thing with Juppo, who's just like, yeah, I made these robots, can't shut off that big wheel, bye.

Except that's not what this is? Mickey is in a room reminiscent of Hollow Bastion's library from Kingdom Hearts 1, or possibly Belle's library from the film Beauty and the Beast. It shows that Mickey will not only be a playable character, but playable outside of combat, a first for the series.

Should go without saying, but this is indefensible, full stop. All the arguments defending it amount to collective punishment. Nothing, nothing, nothing can justify this, ever, anywhere, at all.
This is a genocide. Two million people are being starved to death simply because of who they are and where they were born.

My hot take is that the even-numbered seasons of Buffy are the best ones and yes that does include season 4 and all The Initiative and Riley stuff
the woke Buffy Studies department at Harvard refuses to allow viewpoint diversity. they must commit to accepting students and hiring faculty who believe that The Initiative stuff was really good and she should have ended up with Riley
