I am going to keep it 100, this is one way to get domestic terrorists taken seriously, start threatening white folks.
His take away from this is "threaten white folks" not "threaten federal law enforcement agents"?

It's the prudish attitude to sex that confuses mostly, especially combined with the fact that almost every conflict in US media is resolved through the use of guns.

Thread is a goldmine
Now if only all online threats towards citizens were taken as seriously as these threats to the FBI.

But hey, baby steps, I s'pose. Good job for fuckin' round, findin' out dumbass.

What...like those involving guillotines and such?


Their enemy is both the most dangerous threat to everything they love but at the same time is also comically ineffectual and foolish.

Round all these idiots up.

Lets see how tough they really are when they actually have to look the FBI in the eye.
But I'm sure you would say ACAB eye-to-eye with a police officer...

I don’t think DC is in a much better place, but this is pretty heavy revisionism about marvel licensing strategy.

Also, Multiversus counts if you are counting Marvel VS Capcom (which last game bombed because tried to be MCU like  :teehee )

Gameplay is mid as hell, but the acting and writing is the best i seen since Mafia 3. I really like how they don't hold back at how evil Nazis are, how they had it down to a bureaucratic science. Yet were still so petty and small. I feel a lot of media kinda white washes the depth and width of the evil. Basically "They are evil, why? Cause they did bad thing, but we won't talk about the bad things".

I know the game was real one when they name checked the father of Eugenics in the first 5 minutes of story. And I really like the how they broke the game up to show how everyone got to where they are, and what inspired them to fight.

This another “The new Need for Speed is the pinnacle of video game storytelling” situation isn’t it?  :lol

yeah, really weird and selective evidencing by OP, including 'rumoured' (ie wishful thinking) marvel titles that if true won't be dropping until 2030 or something and limiting to 'single player, consoles, AAA only, Final Destination' presumably so things like the Telltale Batman games and the still going DCU Online don't count due to arbitrary criteria.

I even question his first fucking premise, that Arkham Asylum was the first superhero game that wasn't a shitty cash grab tie in; Capcoms X-men (and sequels) before that, Neversofts Spiderman before that, and I have fond memories of the Amstrad CPC isometric Head Over Heels clone Batman before that.

Yeah, that's why all those fucks frame everything as a neverending discussion, they just want to wear down their opponents and waste their time.

:dunno

can't help but feel if your activisms chosen axiom wasn't so prima facie untrue and in need of further clarification as "Trans women are women", you woulkd have a lot fewer people questioning what it means.

See also "defund the police" which also has every time its brought up people "just asking questions" and "neverending discussion"

Imagine the horror if the writers also took inspiration also from Fleabag, one of the funniest comedies in years. Like how would that be a bad thing?

Seems kinda dog whistly to me when people say that.
What… exactly am I dog whistling? I don’t think that’s the right term for this?

My annoyance is when people jump immediately to “She-Hulk is doing what Fleabag did” when there’s like, countless other movies, shows, books, comics, plays, etc that have also used the gimmick, not to mention She-Hulk has been doing it in the comics for 30+ years. Fleabag can be good but it didn’t invent the concept of breaking the fourth wall?

It’s a pet peeve. Dog whistle? What?
Sorry I wasn't accusing you, rather the people you're talking about.

Something about speaking of Fleabag with derision just stinks of "M-She-U" criticism to me.

:confused
misogynists fucking love Fleabag, of all shows  ???

I can think of two videogames that actually showed the concentration camps, meanwhile Vanguard felt a lot more like some pop culture version of Nazis. Like there's some Nazi elite celebrating the birth of the fourth Reich while Germany and its army already lie in ruins.

Crowds. Yes, there have always been crowds at Disney Parks, but post-pandemic this has seemingly gotten worse.
The border is wide open and caravans to Disney world are pouring in.

Now, you can no longer just show up at a Disney Park. Instead, you have to make an actual reservation.
Remember when you could just show up in places without QR codes and reservations? That was pretty great right?

I loved Wolfenstein The New Order's magical realism take on the concentration camps.

Which two games are you thinking of?

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream has you playing as Mengele's assistant. AM's taunts are also great. "What did you think they were doing? Roasting chickens?"

I think Deus Ex Mankind Divided was the closest to show what the 'boiling the frog' experience is like.
With changing permits, evictions and eventually deportations, experiments and killings.

That's also why some people probably didn't like it very much, because it was very depressing.

Yeah was thinking of Wolfenstein and that other Call of duty game, it's just called WWII. Towards the end of the game they find an already abandoned camp with one of their comrades who was kept prisoner there

I've decided, upon considerable reflection, that I hate the term "free time".

The fact that we need a term to distinguish time that is not dedicated to work or other responsibilities suggests that your time is not free by default. Otherwise it would just be "time".

If you ask someone "what do you do with your free time?" there's an implication that they have time that is otherwise not free, for work or some such. I feel like we should live in a world where considerable amounts of "free time" is the default, and working is the non-standard thing.

Your time should always be free, my friends, and things like work, chores or other responsibilities should be specified as non-default.

Disclaimer - I understand the utility of a term to summarise time not otherwise used, I just despise the implication.

Your time should always be free, my friends, and things like work, chores or other responsibilities should be specified as non-default.

Disclaimer - I understand the utility of a term to summarise time not otherwise used, I just despise the implication.

His complaint appears to be "why doesn't a large portion of the english speaking world change their points of mutual reference in communication to reflect the fact I don't like my job?" rather then "why don't I get a more enjoyable job?"

even a retired person has free time, the rest of the time they're maintaining their house or buying groceries or getting a good night's sleep, it's not literally only in regard to standard work day

Any adult with an annual Disney theme park pass should be on a watchlist

these annual passes are $700? :dead

I don’t think I would spend almost 3 grand a year for my family to go to the same fucking theme park multiple times a year.

Going to the same park every year is like overkill to me, it’s the same shit every time.

I also heard that it’s frowned upon to masturbate to Pluto, so what’s even the fucking point?

I was on a walk around the neighborhood during my lunch break today and I passed a young woman who I assumed was homeless sitting on the sidewalk. This is a suburban area, so slightly unusual. As I pass by she said calmly "Hey excuse me, can I use your phone to make a call?" I said "No sorry, I need to get back to work." This was a partially true excuse, but I could have spared a few minutes if I really needed to. She just said "Oh okay, that's cool" and I kept walking.

I still feel bad about it. I felt uneasy about handing a random person my phone in case she ran with it or something, but what if she just legitimately needed to make a phone call and I could have helped her out? It was really hot out today and I felt bad that she was just sitting out there in the elements as I walked back to my air-conditioned apartment and somewhat cushy WFH job.

If she asked for a few bucks I would have obliged, the phone was a bridge too far for me in that moment. What would you do in that situation?

Only way I could think of why I would ever do such a thing is if I had a kid with like downs syndrome or proper autism or something like that where going once a week kept them on the level.

Ezra Miller gets into rehab and they're still made about Zaslov

So after a supposed shouting match, Ezra makes an apology.

How much you want to bet Zaslov called their publicist and was like “put out a fucking statement and attribute it to them and get your kid into self care now or I’ll fucking ruin all of your lives”.

Lol like he would have used the right pronouns but I’m just following TOS.

This whole affair starts to look more and more like a fanboy war where the only real concern was that WB loses money.

Until every single one of you is leading an absolutely perfect life you shouldn’t be criticising anyone else. You have ABSOLUTELY no right whatsoever.

That includes the products and services you use, the clothes and food you buy and r he impact the country you live in has on the world and it’s people etc.

This is not a DOOM post. America is definitely in decline, which is just how life is. Whether it is still around 50 years or 100 years more, it will collapse eventually.

For myself as a Canadian, I have worries on water wars and political refugees changing the make-up of Canadian politics. I also worry on a coalition of Red States and the military industrial complex and how that affects regional affairs.

However, I am also interested in whether states still alive after the union collapse would remain their own sovereigns (most likely) or develop into a larger regional union with Canada ala the African Union. I think a regional union with various coastal states would be really interesting.

So what say you, non-Americans, what are your thoughts on what follows the American collapse?
:huh
