No-one in my immediate family is vocal about politics. My dad is a farmer and whenever I visit him and we watch the evening news, it's in complete silence and I can't recall him offering an opinion on anything. Not sure if it's stoicism or if he just doesn't care, but I like it. It sure beats political hobbyists (like me) who treat life-and-death issues like sport and gossip about them as though it's entertainment.

Such complete horseshit. At 8 years of age you are in second or third grade (in the U.S.). You don't even know what politics are, let alone actually follow them. What a dumb cunt.
My daughter is 8. She's a hell of a lot more intelligent than excelsheets will ever be and knows/cares three-fifths of fuck all about politics.

Excel is a dumb cunt and needs to get offline for a good few months.

I suppose Vice having an awful headline is okay when is to shame Trumptards, but is not a little form of misinformation given that vaccines don’t work that way?

Excel might get there eventually, if she swaps tweets for books and gains some life experience offline.

Do comic books count?  :uguu But please no artsy ones, just superheroes.
I’ll make an allowance for Michel Vaillant, or anything illustrated by Milo Manara. Everything else is a solid ‘No’.

what does shariah law say about women's role in the government structure?

Quote from: RustyNail
Lol like that matters. Case in point, Bangladesh and Pakistan both elected women as Prime Ministers of their country. AMERICUH, the freedom land of many freedoms, had an aneurysm when trying to elect a woman president in 2016.

Being a Hillary stan while bitching about American Imperialism in Afghanistan... uh?

That's not what the article title is referring to. When questioned the people are saying even when they get better they are going to refuse the vaccine despite almost dying to covid from their current infection.  It's not their current infection they're talking about it's anything in the future, and one woman was saying she refused to advocate for it despite nearly dying from it as she gasped for breath.

While Vice is generally very clickbaitey the title is accurate on this one, is my point.

No. Not unless they're consenting to listen, and are open to a change in thinking/behaviour.

Just like I'm sure you don't need me to convince you that processed anything is a downgrade for your health, and Co-vid wouldn't be a fraction of a concern if wasn't for how rampantly unhealthy and absent modern culture is. Right?

Or maybe convincing is what we need?


Are we living closely with and in relational allignment towards nature in every action taken?

Eating sustainably local, organic food?

What's the relationship to the food we eat, air we breath, water we drink, and people who's eyes we hesitate to look into day after day?

How are the other-than-humans faring in our lives? How about the humans?

Are we aware of the impact our choices make on those around, and vice versa?

Working 25+ hours a week doing shit you don't love?

Spending 1 hour+ looking at a screen each day?

Regularly dancing, singing, moving your body, or creatively expressing oourselves?

Are we moving our bodies in accordance with their needs?
Are we even listening?
Do we know how to?

If your body was telling your mind it was tired, sick, in need of slowing down and rest, would you listen?

If it whispered "this job your doing is hurting me, the way your living is hurting me, please stop hurting me", would you listen?

Could you act and create the necessary transformation change?

Could we admit failure? Could we feel the painstakingly shattered depths?

When's the last time we placed our bare feet on the grass or in the dirt that wasn't laden with harmful chemicals, or put our hands in clean rushing streams and creeks?

If modern society had achieved some sort of vibrantly thriving paradigm of an accomplishment worthy of protecting or maintaining a status quo, I would be in agreement whole heartedly. Vaccines for everyone. Let's keep doing it the same way we've been doing it. Hoping naively like children that somehow we don't have to change everything about the way we've been doing things.

But this? Fuck no. This needs to be torn down and re-built. Everything infected needs to be cleaned out for the wound to heal.

Just imagine that the crowning achievement and "winning" feature of modern culture is to hoarde enough resources so that a secret bunker can be built off grid to survive impending global catastrophe.

What kind of idiot would willingly choose to perpetuate that. The vaccinated?

Let me tell you you're listening to one right now.

All this is just a distraction from the fact that we are failing so miserably upon the generations of children to come. What sort of stories will be told of their ancestors?

We haven't even earned the right yet to be on this earth. Big fucking privilege.


Alright. So. Do you need further convincing?

Is the next processed piece of food or information entering your body or mind worthy of it ?

Feeling the helpless grief around and within us might just be the only honest thing some of us have done today.

Or maybe you'd like consent to hearing this sort of thing.

What a surprise. They are finally getting it.

Depiction of something in a piece of media doesn't mean the people behind said piece of media wholesale approve of whatever is being depicted. But it is deeply funny this revelation is coming from these guys that skinned CDPR alive for depicting megacorps profiting off supposed transphobia in CP 2077, as if CDPR are transphobes themselves. Just like those harassers in that story, Ree have been guilty of conflating depiction with approval within media for years.

It's hilarious how the whole thread only points fingers at the younger generations. People have been on this path for quite a while now, with all the "woke outlets" leading the charge. Recently the new Ace Attorney game was criticized by various reviewers for portraying racism against Japanese people. A game made by Japanese people.

I mean it's the same argument that you can't show anything less than a 100% perfect and accepting society in video games where nobody ever denigrates anyone else for being gay or trans

there have been lots of articles after media like this that bemoan these sugarcoated worlds and say they don't represent their experience IRL at all

https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3z4vg/tell-me-why-smothers-its-representation-in-bubble-wrap

but then you also have people saying they experience hate often enough IRL that they don't want to see it in games too

but then that applies to everything else, "large corporations are destroying the world enough as it is, I don't want to have to also see it in Final Fantasy 7 remake ugh I literally can't even"

I'm pretty sure it's TOTALLY DIFFERENT when they do it. Meaning that no, they aren't getting it at all. I'll suck propagandhims cut off dick if this leads to any sort of self reflection from the always angry crowd.

I hope this is just poor wording and you're not implying that the creative side needs to be okay with being treated like that. I don't care what issues you are going through, there's no excuse for lashing out at unrelated people.
It’s poor wording. I’m not excusing toxic harassment, just trying to say that the creative side shouldn’t use its existence to justify a decision to wage a war on what they perceive to be “cancel culture”. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Of course it was. As was anyone in any position of power in the government. We would have had even less success at nation-building if we had tried to go against their decades of cultural programming. As infantry on the ground our standing orders were to not even look in the direction of any women so as to not upset the local elders. If women spoke to us we were to look away and stay silent. They never did though... they knew the consequences of that. This was 07/08 timeframe in northern rural regions. Might've been different elsewhere at different times. That was my experience though.

INT: SAGE ANAHATAS LAIR - DAY

No. Not unless they're consenting to listen, and are open to a change in thinking/behaviour.

Just like I'm sure you don't need me to convince you that processed anything is a downgrade for your health, and Co-vid wouldn't be a fraction of a concern if wasn't for how rampantly unhealthy and absent modern culture is. Right?

Or maybe convincing is what we need?


Are we living closely with and in relational allignment towards nature in every action taken?

Eating sustainably local, organic food?

What's the relationship to the food we eat, air we breath, water we drink, and people who's eyes we hesitate to look into day after day?

How are the other-than-humans faring in our lives? How about the humans?

Are we aware of the impact our choices make on those around, and vice versa?

Working 25+ hours a week doing shit you don't love?

Spending 1 hour+ looking at a screen each day?

Regularly dancing, singing, moving your body, or creatively expressing oourselves?

Are we moving our bodies in accordance with their needs?
Are we even listening?
Do we know how to?

If your body was telling your mind it was tired, sick, in need of slowing down and rest, would you listen?

If it whispered "this job your doing is hurting me, the way your living is hurting me, please stop hurting me", would you listen?

Could you act and create the necessary transformation change?

Could we admit failure? Could we feel the painstakingly shattered depths?

When's the last time we placed our bare feet on the grass or in the dirt that wasn't laden with harmful chemicals, or put our hands in clean rushing streams and creeks?

If modern society had achieved some sort of vibrantly thriving paradigm of an accomplishment worthy of protecting or maintaining a status quo, I would be in agreement whole heartedly. Vaccines for everyone. Let's keep doing it the same way we've been doing it. Hoping naively like children that somehow we don't have to change everything about the way we've been doing things.

But this? Fuck no. This needs to be torn down and re-built. Everything infected needs to be cleaned out for the wound to heal.

Just imagine that the crowning achievement and "winning" feature of modern culture is to hoarde enough resources so that a secret bunker can be built off grid to survive impending global catastrophe.

What kind of idiot would willingly choose to perpetuate that. The vaccinated?

Let me tell you you're listening to one right now.

All this is just a distraction from the fact that we are failing so miserably upon the generations of children to come. What sort of stories will be told of their ancestors?

We haven't even earned the right yet to be on this earth. Big fucking privilege.


Alright. So. Do you need further convincing?

Is the next processed piece of food or information entering your body or mind worthy of it ?

Feeling the helpless grief around and within us might just be the only honest thing some of us have done today.

Or maybe you'd like consent to hearing this sort of thing.

None of what they were saying is "anti-vaccine" rhetoric.

pansexual should mean you are willing to have sex with anything that moves

because otherwise you still get to look at someone and say "ooh sweaty I'm sorry but I'm just not attracted to you physically" and they just happen to be trans every time etc. etc.

sorry, if you're pansexual you must consent, no exceptions

 :wut I can't wrap my head around shipping, and I feel old.
Seems to be something about pro-shippers and anti-shippers.
Shipping is rooting for relationship that does not exist, for example when the Marvel fans started shipping the Falcon and Winter Soldier and the black dude was like: "NOPE stfu, we're just friends".
There are people who are against that because they don't want their 'fandom' drenched in crazy fan fiction. Same with the famous 'Reylo' ship from Star Wars.

But honestly I don't know anything about it I mostly know about big beautiful shippers from the logistics :trumps

Imagine that Marvel is your entire life and the only thing that gets you hard is thinking about Ant-Man and Hawkeye banging. Then other people get mad at you because they want want Hawkeye to bang Loki. That's shipping.

Eh, depending on your situation (partner preferences and/or your specific health needs), mattress buying can be a pain in the ass chore.  “Overwhelming” is a bit much, though…

Also interesting to see how fights about it instantly result in accusations of homophobia and worse. Everyone is assumed to be in bad faith.

All of that feels like an evolution what you see on RE

Do you guys think they will be repercussions for posting links and  making jokes about Ric Flair’s leaked sex picture?

Tbis went on for two pages.

Do you think the woman agreed to this picture being posted online?

Why is this allowed on resetera?
