hot take: it's actually good that people are blaming school shooting on girls not putting out, because that will improve sex ed in american schools. also, an end to slut-shaming

because we all know that america will choose to become less hosed up about sex when violence is involved

People who know nothing about Frankenstein think that Frankenstein is the monster.

People that know a little about Frankenstein say Frankenstein is the scientist.

I've had this key memorized for around 17 years now so your username always gives me a lil smile.

Ask me about going to bootleg computer shows with your "if there are no cops around, there are no laws" dad and having a place within walking distance of your house that would rent computer games/OSes and conveniently had cd burners for sale behind the counter. They would also give you photocopies of the manuals for games that had anticheat things. The only ones that were a pain in the rear end were the ones where you needed the red cellophane to decipher the poo poo.

I remember I had a bunch of those manuals possibly without the games attached when I was like 4 years old and couldn't reliably spell the games well enough to get them to run on XTreePro, so I'd just enjoy reading the manuals with all their secret codes and my own red cellophane.

Video game manuals used to be amazing. The Super Mario All-Stars one was a classic.

the consequence of telling death cultists that groups like ISIL represent the 'real' Islam is that some of them will turn into Barry from Four Lions

They're falling rear end-backwards into the realisation that groups like ISIL recruit from the middle eastern equivalent of incels and neonazis.

The really funny thing is that Hillary hung her entire campaign on people that conservative media had been training for decades to specifically despise her.

Like, the Republicans had been planning for her run and had 16 years minimum to prepare, and it paid off dividends.

Yeah, I just don't get it. I was a nerdy rock club bouncer who listened to Tom Waits in his off-hours during college and I still had women who were interested. This was back when my "closing the deal" date was going to a taco joint that was one step above Taco Bell and talking about how much I liked the philosophy of the Matrix. If my goony rear end could get laid, anyone could get laid.

It was common in a lot of places for the judge and lawyers to literally speak a different language from most people who'd be defendants, too.

Seems common that justice systems that in theory give an opportunity for the defendant to prove their innocence end up turned into torturous spectacles.

'misfortune builds character' is the delusion of people who've never encountered real misfortune in their entire life, and so it's all an abstract to them. it's all very nietzschean, and is only ever spoken from a position of privilege.

As much as people think fantasy kings and princesses are too distant from reality to be a negative influence on kids, I think growing up with fairytale good kings and queens has indoctrinated a lot of people into reflexively defending entrenched authority.

Because we all know, outlawing porn makes the industry less exploitative.

But basically, it's literally the same logic as fundamentalist Christians. (who have already started to pose as feminists and social justice groups to push censorship agendas) Fight the symptoms, ignore the cause.

Fascists are universally terrible at governance, warfare and culture, and only success because they terrify people into dropping everything into doing what the strongman wants done NOW. And usually quickly become terrified of reporting failure so they lie through their teeth and scapegoat to avoid punishment for bearing bad news, so you end up with rapid brain drain and only toadies in most positions of power.

There's a reason they lost the war very badly.
