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

done, now what?

a hefty tariff on slave-produced goods doesn’t sound all that terrible to me. would that it stopped there.

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.

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

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.
