The Onion’s on fire these days

old reddit link

Or maybe the thumbnail showing yellow tape with the word police had something to do with it.

There was someone in reddit awhile back that started a community review site because there were so many bad games to sort through. I’ve found some good ones through there

In Japanese they don’t say yes, they say good. The word for good is ii (sounds like eee). There’s not a different consonant or vowel to break up saying “good” over and over, so you just hear iiiiiiiiiiiiii.

Sounds like squid propaganda!

There are a lot of long form researched videos that I like on yt. They could definitely be hosted on a different site but having stuff like those in a central location lets people find them more easily.

But isn’t that basically well, “the left” (with all its nuances)

Globally in English I think “liberal” mostly refers more to the economic policy of letting companies do what they want without regulation, which is a right wing policy. Some people take a harder line on this and say that anyone in support of capitalism at all, even with strong social programs in place (like what you might find in countries like Sweden (or Denmark?)) is a right wing position, and you need to be in favor of communism or socialism (or maybe certain flavors of anarchy) to be considered left.

I was wondering if the comment above was just making a classic right wing point

In terms of social issues, I don’t really know if it’s unique to the US, but there’s a tendency in the states in (socially) liberal circles to have sort of “purity tests” in order to fit in. Like if you support most liberal issues like LGBT+ rights, pro-abortion, etc, but maybe you have one issue that you’re not firmly on the left about. Say you don’t agree that situation X counts as cultural appropriation, you might find yourself ostracized from a particular liberal group because you’re not “pure” enough to count as liberal, even if almost all your positions line up otherwise.

Depending on the maturity and life experience of the group and also how non-liberal your position is the acceptance into the group can vary. But these types of policy “checks” are stereotypically more important in liberal circles than conservative ones. However, I admit to not having much experience with what passes for regular (as in, non-government) conservatives, so it might end up being somewhat similar in certain cases. Like if you’re generally ok with LGBT issues maybe hardcore Christian groups might not accept you, even if you’re anti-abortion.

When Americans say liberal they’re talking mainly about social issues like support of LGBT+ rights, abortion, etc. They’re also usually for social economic programs, although this can encompass a broad range of issues with varying amounts of support, like universal basic income, more safety nets for low income people, higher taxes on the rich, universal or easier access to health care, etc.

Aw jeez, don’t tell the hexbears-- don’t you know N Korea is a really cool and chill place to live and only USA is bad??

Zero sum is too high concept for the maga contingent in congress. The only goal for the likes of mtg, boobert, pedo gaetz, etc is to be loud and stupid so they can post clips on social media and continue to get engagement with their base.

Pretty sure this was (is?) standard practice for every major bank, bc Citizens did the same thing to me. With no regulation, why wouldn’t a bank fuck its most vulnerable customers as hard as possible?

XcQ, link stays blue

Even if you skip the plot, during the scenes a lot of the step- variety makes a point to have them call each other by family names during (“oh you like what mommy is doing now?”) Pretty big turn off if you’re not into that shit

You’re right, past tech has never had any legal restrictions on how it can be used. In fact, I’m using a photocopier and electric computer right now to put your face in an ad without paying you a cent. Plus the ad is for a perfume that smells like trumps asshole. Good thing we don’t have any laws that you can use to stop me!

It’s bc he thought it would affect the cities (where dems live) way more, which of course he had zero issues with because he has only child feelings. By the time his version of thinking was vaguely able to realize that unvaxxed people (his cultists) died way more even in rural areas, his stupid smelly broken brain wouldn’t allow him to think he was wrong about something. So he started throwing random words (like hydroxychloroquin) at the wall in hopes that something would work, and even though it didn’t he couldn’t go back on anything he’d ever vomited out of his piehole.

Basically maintaining his false image of himself as someone literally incapable of error is way more important for him than anything else, otherwise he’d have to confront a lifetime of failure. That’d be a monumental task for even the most resilient people, let alone one of the weakest and most pathetic cowards ever to have lived.
