That one-off episode about Isaac & Ishmael is just awful, though, and I haven't watched it since it aired I don't think. I skip it on re-watches.

Pre-9/11 went to Mandyville.

I never watched it because iirc there was some unresolved cliffhanger and I wasn't about to watch some right after the fact 9.11 moral tale and also the AV Club said it was real bad.

Really? Last night I watched an episode where she went on the warpath over the inclusion of "marriage incentives" in a welfare bill (in exchange for 3-4 times as much in concessions from Republicans), screwing over both Josh and a good bill in the process. It was like one of D&D's scorched-earth liberals suddenly hijacked my television.

I remember thinking re-watching that episode that a bit of the bully pulpit use and a threat of a veto could have resulted in the incentives being thrown out but yeah the method there was dumb but Amy was still right to want them removed.

I was thinking clearly the morning of. After I got the office closed, I made a cell phone call, pulled out money at an ATM and paid for a What-a-burger at the drive-thru with a credit card. It all worked. Terrorists lose!

I thought that was said by one of the students, and it was rebutted by one of the characters.

"You have it coming to you because of the way you look!"
I appreciate that they had Leo apologize for it later, but it was still really bad and soured me on his character for quite a while after that (even though it wasn't "canon" or whatever).

Taxes can be quite punishing on the poor though, especially things like sales and sin taxes.

if dwarf fortress was an actual game with comprehensible mechanics and a useful interface. rimworld is deeply inspired by dwarf fortress, dungeon keeper, and jagged alliance 2. i dunno if i would even call dwarf fortress a game as much as a fantasy simulator slash emergent digital art

Some taxes are punitive though, in that they are designed to discourage people from consuming the products that are taxed.

ToadyOne is making the game he wants to make and he doesn't give a gently caress if it takes him decades or drives him bankrupt. it's totally unique and worth respect on that regard even if it's impossible to play if you aren't on the spectrum

terrifyingly abusive wifebeating prick. the most ironic thing about the whole "yoko broke up the beatles": the main complaint was that yoko was constantly underfoot. yoko repeatedly wanted to stop turning up to these things where everyone visibly despised her long before but lennon would force her to come by threatening her with violence :smith:

yeah he was incredibly insecure at this and demanded access to her at all times for encouragement. whenever she would behave in a way she didn't like he would get physically abusive, or when he'd had to much to drink.

Lennon posted:

It is a diary form of writing. All that "I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved" was me. I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically -- any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am not violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster.

he was also pretty atrocious to his son. cycle of violence is an ugly thing :smith:

Rather, the mods didn't know. They also didn't ask.

So, I'm at a conundrum. I found a link to a primary source's facebook. However, the interview with the primary source is from brietbart. Do I post the info as reputable or discard it entirely as in comes from brietbart?

Someone in FYAD insisted he had proof the mods knew that Aatrek was a pedophile for over a year. He got banned, and then black baby goku spent hours in GBS railing against how unfair that was and how it's a conspiracy and how he should be unbanned and the truth can come out. So we unbanned him and he said "nah I made it up, good luck BBG" and bbg got banned.

Edit: I was p. Sure it was about Aatrek and that the mods "knowing" was something similar to how people whine in QCS about Zorak and other mods (louisgod I think?) that played visual novels or participated in threads about them or w/e. It being made up and the righteous fury being for nothing is much funnier
