THIS. Where is the Transmetropolitan streaming series? The time has never been more right.

done, now what?

What side of this debate am I on if I have a dedicated gaming PC that stays plugged into the TV, that I interact with exclusively through a gamepad? Or my buddy who plays Xbox on a monitor at his desk? This isn’t about PC or console, this is about couch vs desk.

there is only the working class and the owning class. those other classes were made up by the owning class, to divide the working class.

Came here to mention this one. I’ll be 36 soon and that story still haunts me 20 some odd years after reading it in class. Link for the curious.

thaw and pan fry them, it’s fucken amazing.

It’s all too common when anti-phrenology people don’t understand phreno101.

For context, this book came out the previous year: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/140

oh look yet another warmed over “DAE the kids r bad” talking point that i’ve been hearing literally since i learned language.

I’m still trying to figure out “Kamabla”. Is it supposed to be “Kama-blah” or “Ka-mob-la”?

Either way it’s such a weak-ass schoolyard insult that the first time I read it I was suddenly 10 years old again listening to my bestie talk smack.

it’s been a long time for me too lol, took some googling to find the name “mortron”. i remember the alien you’re talking about but i don’t remember what it’s called or which book.

these are Mortons, from the Andalite Chronicles

i don’t disagree with that person but it’s a weird hill to die on, and their behavior is an atrocious embarassment to all feminists and queer people. nobody is going to change their mind after reading that stuck-up, insulting, pendantic rant.

you’re not wrong BUT

cramming nuanced and counterintuitive sociological topics down peoples’ throats and then calling them bigots and idiots when it doesn’t click right away makes you look like a crazy person. if i didn’t already agree with you i’d be far less inclined adopt your viewpoint after having an interaction like this, because every time it came up again i would remember your smug ass on a high horse wielding it like a cudgel and mentally disengage.

you need to ease up and give people time to explore and integrate new ideas and perspectives, especially things like this that involve subtleties of linguistics and human psychology - not insult them and storm off when it doesn’t take right away. acting this way just makes people double down on their position.

i read it as “obligated to go to church” too but he wrote “obligated to go to a church”. damn english.

this. milk is fucking disgusting.

itt people trying to logic out a definition from an english word as if it’s meant to be anally descriptive jargon and not a colloquial term with tons of historical context
