 Never change, jrrrrose. I like that the rain is falling at an angle, but the umbrella provides a perfectly vertical shelter. I guess it generates a droplet teleportation field, or otherwise generate some spacetime anomaly. Somfin posted:"Ethnically ambiguous conservativeish girl." "Ambiguous" because she isn't supposed to clearly be Hispanic?

Captain_Maclaine posted:Cruz recently took the bold, heroic stand of declaring that he'd remove all gluten-free foods from the military, presumably because such selections are pussy PC crap unsuited to our manly warriors, so maybe it's playing to that? Good, cripples and the chronically ill have no business serving in the military.

Oh my god, it's becoming self aware! It won't last though I'm sure. Also Nearly peek JRRose! right there. All it needs is some muppets or disney characters for no reason. I wish everything he made was like this and it's prove that politics can make otherwise pleasant people into annoying asshats.

DC is incentivising at risk youth with payments if they don't engage in illegal behaviour, because someone finally figured out threatening jail time doesn't work. Conservatives promptly freaked the gently caress out, because giving people incentives to not break the law is supposed to only go to rich white men. Edit: beaten.

It's a program that's already working very well in other cities, and will be launched soon in DC. At-risk youths are mentored towards becoming community leaders through activities, charitable volunteer work, travel, and similar character-building exercises. Those who qualify are also given a small living stipend. Eligibility for the program depends partly on, reasonably enough, not getting your rear end arrested. Republican brains can only comprehend the latter points, and interpret them as BLACK PPL GET MONEY TO NOT DO CRIME. And in answer to Tinsley's question, no, he's not eligible to participate, because the program involves learning things and being nice to people. He wouldn't be a good candidate.

I think the scariest thing for a conservative is a world in which there are no actual enemies. In which there is no justification for war. For soldiers. Planes. Tanks. Bombs. A world where there is no chance for a young man to strap into some cammies and go marching into certain doom, hopeful to return with accolades that can only be granted in the wake of him killing other people. You can't get a Purple Heart if there's nobody shooting at you. The scariest thing in the world for a conservative is no enemy. No "Other." No person you can point to, wave and scream loudly I AM DIFFERENT FROM HIM, IN A WAY THAT MAKES ME SUPERIOR. A world where queers and browns and poors all stand on the same ground as him. A world where moral superiority is no longer granted by the God you grudgingly visit on Sunday, but by the actual content of your character. A world where a white, male Christian is no longer better than everyone else just because he is a white, male Christian. The scariest thing in the world for a conservative is having all these loving guns and not having even the faintest possibility of shooting a single criminal, foreigner, or bad guy. A world where a big strong hand reaches into the $1200 gun cabinet they bought and takes all the assault rifles out, because you sure as poo poo don't need these to hunt deer with. The scariest thing in the world for a conservative is watching Red Dawn and finally realizing, deep, deep within themselves, that this is never, ever going to happen. The scariest thing in the world for a conservative is finally learning to just be happy with himself.

Modern American conservatives view competition the way fascists view violence. It's not a means to an end, it's an end in and of itself. Oh, and they'll whine like babies if they're ever on the receiving end of it.

The reason I love Adam4d is that he's just intelligent enough to reach a threshold of stupidity your ordinary run-of-the-mill idiot won't. This is a man who clearly puts a lot more thought into his work than Ramirez or some other hack that just jots down the first moronic thing that pops into their head. To Ford every cartoon is a dense piece of philosophy that will crush his hypocritical opponents to pieces. I imagine him spending days debating the strawmen in his head, fine-tuning every sentence, every word to get the argument 'just right not realizing that the deeper he sinks into his own home brewed theological system the more he defeats his own arguments. Adam4d is a man who takes being a dumb motherfucker very, very serious and for that I kinda respect him.

I don't know that Adam4D is necessarily intelligent but he does strike me as so, and if so he's a shining example of that thing I heard once: "smart people are really good at coming up with smart rationalizations for stupid and wrong things."

He's more like a dumb person's idea of what a smart person sounds like.* He keeps making these repetitive, needless walls of text that choke out every comic he does and has some of the most egregious strawmen this side of Branco. His style is completely derivative and his tone is couched in the assumption that his way of looking at things is clearly the only possible correct one, and any disagreement is rooted in stupidity and narcissism. Clearly if his ideological opponents just thought out their positions they'd agree with him. *Source: I am dumb. Dr Cheeto fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Feb 28, 2016 |

It's the traditional dumb-person-trying-to-sound-smart thing- he doesn't accept that there is any validity to his opponent's side. He doesn't think of his opponents' positions as valid positions that people who have reasoning minds can hold. His straw foes set up questions without explaining their reasoning (because Ford can't comprehend the idea that they have reasoning) and crumble at the slightest hint of being challenged (because Ford can't comprehend that they might respond to his point with anything other than DASGDC).

If those are just wish-fulfillment fantasies, then what would ever provoke anyone to wish for such a thing? “God is love” is an appealing idea. “Gruesome monsters are preying on innocent children at the edge of the dark” seems far less appealing. I can see how a myth-making attraction to wish-fulfillment fantasy might account for the denial of monstrosities, but not for the invention and the weird popularity of imaginary monsters.
