I mean, a guy can cope, okay?

We’re not going to get that far, though. We’ve got a poly ecological crisis happening right now between insect extinction, microplastics in brain tissue and inhibiting photosynthesis, and climate change, and the right has decided (thanks to some generous donations) that long term growth is woke, we need maximum profits right up until everyone is dead. We’re just gonna plug our ears and yell “la la la can’t hear you” while the lights flicker out one by one, and then all at once.

I got banned from Reddit just for reading this

Came here to mention how neurodivergence has this effect too, being powered by a combo of unlimited cluelessness with regards to social conventions and weird but very strong hangups about things. Then I read your post. Clearly, gay neurodivergence is on a whole other power level. Bravo, OP.

When this whole fucking thing backfires and we end up with a communist revolution, there’s going to be a lot of people in a real big hurry to delete their xitter accounts.

IIRC, white Jesus is specifically made to look like members of the Medici family, who were major sponsors of the same Renaissance artists who painted most of our iconic religious art.

I think it’s just oligopixelosis, tbh

Now this is a SLAMming I can get behind. Get SLAMMED, idiots.

When the law is unethical, breaking it is a moral duty. The democrats going to jail now have infinitely more spine than the republicans who hurried off to the underground tunnels during J6 only to turn around and claim it was a totally peaceful tour.

Battery. Assault is threatening, battery involves physical touch, no matter how light.

Good thing Merrick Garland dragged his feet, probably so the democrats could fundraise on Trump.

I need to read up on this. Spain in 1936 seems like one of those points in history that waaaaaay too much shit is quietly connected to. What little I know of it comes from For Whom The Bell Tolls

Sorry, middle fingers. Showing the middle finger is sometimes called flipping the bird.

Their reactions are fucking great, especially the girl on the left.

Straight up, one time we got called out to “check on” a homeless woman sleeping at a bus stop. It’s no surprise, people weaponize EMS/Fire to harass sleeping homeless people because the cops sometimes won’t do shit and we can’t say “no, they’re just sleeping and obviously not dead, dipshit”, because there’s always the one chance that they aren’t actually sleeping and really are dead or dying. So, we show up, and fire beat us there. They’re checking on her and basically telling us “hold on, she’s refusing care.” We hold tight and they cut us loose after a few minutes. Well, fire ended up clearing us from the scene. Later on, we run into that same crew, and they told us that on their way to this next call, that same woman ran right out into the middle of the big ass boulevard (it was night), almost in front of them, and started hopping up and down shooting them birds akimbo. Good times.

One of my favorites that I ever played was a character I where I rolled my stats first and ended up getting a -3 modifier even with mulligan rolls. Every other stat was anywhere from decent to fuckin ballin’. I sat and thought about it for a minute: what stat would be fun, interesting, and challenging to have as a -3? STR would suck, INT and CHA would be anything from really annoying to insufferable or ablist to play (every VERY low int character ever in D&D podcasts is extremely cringe to listen to), so that leaves WIS and DEX. I chose DEX and said that it was because my human fighter was a war veteran with an Above Knee Amputation from the war. From there, I arrived at him using pole arms because they help him to steady himself on his peg leg outside of combat, and that he’s deeply uncomfortable with magic, since magic cost him his leg and many comrades in war.

It led to one of my all time favorite moments in an RP where he and the paladin were dining in a Giant’s great hall, having a disagreement about how to proceed, when the Paladin cast a spell on him (I can’t remember which, I want to say it was silence or Zone of Truth, but it can’t be because it specifically targeted him). My character stared him down, slugged down the rest of the drink, then flipped the table and commenced to trying to murder the paladin. It was a pretty nuts PvP fight, since we both ended up successfully avoiding the party members who were trying to restrain us, landed a few solid blows on each other, and it only ended when the Giants had had enough of our shit.

I can tell you exactly what that looks like. Something something woke something something radical left something else restore America to what it was supposed to be. You might as well ask ChatGPT to explain the Klingon rite of Q’Ronor

Okay, sure, the Faro plague has consumed all of Eurasia, but have you considered seeing a therapist?

NGL, I will never ever ever take another conservative serious ever again for the rest of my life. I had so many arguments about how very important the constitution was and how we can’t help people because it would make the founding fathers cry, and here they are, eagerly dumpstering the constitution, clapping and cheering as it burns.

Musk deserves a lot more than just a PR dunk, but I’m still not entirely convinced that it’s just a cynical PR play. Hopefully Bill will prove me wrong.
