yes, but that just means he's not a rapist. if a wealthy man only hires attractive young women and respectfully, politely sleeps with only the fully aware and consenting women this still makes him a predator. he's using his power to hunt for sexual partners and leveraging the power imbalance to solicit sex from them. that he doesn't just hire prostitutes or escorts in an explicit transaction of sex-for-money makes this predatory

Lewinsky was not attractive though buddy

So the last few pages have been someone seriously arguing that behavior indistinguishable from Dennis on Always Sunny in Philadelphia isn't predatory. See he never threatened to fire them or promise to give them a job. It's just the implication.

It's the best one. It has a dream like quality to its story that is much better than the masturbatory self referencing of the third game. Three took the lore and just threw everything into the trash and shouted 'hope you want to know more about Gwynn and his extended family!'. Unfortunately for me that'd be a no.

Dark Souls 2 is worse with imitation versions of everything from DS1. That video let me know that I don't have to agree with everything hbomberguy says.
Dark Souls lore is never what people say, its 10 things to 10 people. There is no one 1 correct way to interpret it.

Which is a bit backwards really. The worst thing Soros does in the US is fund progressive causes. The worst thing he did in the UK was short $1bn from under the Bank of England during Black Wednesday.

Which one of those things do you think the Soros conspiracists are actually mad about, though?

Honestly the only presidents I wouldn't assume cheated on their wives are Jimmy Carter (who felt guilty about once looking at another woman "with lust in his heart") and Andrew Jackson (whose second-favorite pastime was trying to kill people who spoke ill of his wife or their relationship).

Well yeah, but UK people have an actual reason to know his name and be a bit pissed off at him, whereas the conspiracists are just making poo poo up.

A failed actor was elected president before I was born. We have always always been drowning in poo poo. Read Daniel Boorstin’s The Image sometime and prepare to be made sad. I don’t know why the reactos go after Adorno and leave him alone.

Oh, I agree--it goes back farther. Kennedy was mostly image and very little actual liberal/leftist substance. But god knows getting shot will make a white man into a saint.

Reagan was wracked with guilt for having sexual feelings for his wife, so the chances of him being unfaithful seem rather low to me.

IIRC, Lincoln wrote some very modest and loving things about his wife, though that might fall under the category of "doth protest too much," I dunno.

I'm not interested in constructive criticism, believe me.
Paul Joseph Watsons obsession with "being counter-culture" is so weird. It's very telling listening to any criticism of culture he's made that he's concerned solely with being edgy and contrarian and that he thinks he deserves to be considered cool now but he's really angry that nobody thinks he is cool so he just yells at much cooler people about how uncool they are because a lot of people think they're cool.

I guess that's the basis of the whole alt-right white nerdosphere, though.

I bet there were some French 19th century artists who never left their studios for fear of a Roma or Zouave or whatever 19th century terrible people were afraid of who were still considered cool by a section of society.

The difference being that presumably they invited other people up there to be cool/terrible with and show off their art, and also actually made art to show off instead of standing in front of a world map and making GBS threads themselves violently for 10 minutes.
