Conservative Democrats are bad too. Historically, To Kill a Mockingbird has been banned by both political parties it seems.

Yeah, social conservatives are ass.

Dwarves is a term invented by Tolkien. Dwarfs is sometimes used as a term for those with dwarfism.

Not... no. He solidified the spelling and the typing in modern fantasy.

He invented Halflings/Hobbits.

They are so full of shit.

I exclusively use wired.

This is not the first time Minnie Mouse has worn pants or even technically a suit of some kind. Stay triggered, snowflakes. Imagine getting bent out of shape over a cartoon character wearing pants for... like, the tenth time. Truly the end of the world. How cushy are these people's lives that THIS is the stuff that generates outrage for them, lol...

Here, 30 seconds of googling to prove it:

At any rate, this is absurd. I read "The Cage: A Holocaust Memoir" and "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" in 3rd grade, non-fiction accounts of the Holocaust and American chattel slavery respectively. People give children too little credit.

Apparently cancel culture now means getting kicked out of a home.

*shrug* Republicans use cancel culture to describe the death of Ashli Babbitt. And considering they're tearing their hair out over the apparently world-ending horror that is cancel culture, I see no reason why I shouldn't meet Republicans where they are in terms of what THEY think cancel culture is.

What systems do you have?

Forcing people to marry against their will is pretty fucking crazy, didn't know he pushed for that.

His initial argument as I understand it is that we'd have fewer mass shooters if monogamy was enforced. He then went on to backpeddle a bit, instead shitting on polygamy and divorce, as if his initial position didn't make his opinion very clear.

I'm not a follower of Ethan Klein, but he's got a couple more points:

Generally speaking most of these figures have some extremely questionable and extreme beliefs buried under hundreds of hours of posturing about their opposition. These figures aren't controversial for no reason.

I don't carry much of value so I'd probably get the shit beaten out of me like my father did.

Yes, I think so. Pretty fair assumption since the text in OoT implies that he would respect that.

Edit: Majora's Mask did seem to start in the Lost Woods and he accidentally fell into Termina, so I think he didn't intend to just wander off with things he was supposed to return. He also goes back to the woods, so it's not a stretch to say he returned it. Oh, and the Hero's Shade doesn't have it in TP.

Edit2: Actually, I wonder if it has the same name in the original Japanese game. I'd have to ask around. The sword's appearance does change significantly between OoT and MM.

Sure you can cherry pick a few instances of Republicans banning things, but liberals are notorious for their cancel culture

Projection is the modus operandi of conservatives. Screaming about degeneracy while they have lovers or victims stuffed in their closets, screaming about cancellation as they disown their queer children and ban everything from books to sex positions to clothes, sniveling and moaning about being oppressed while they lynch jogging black people, crying about the Constitution while they fantasize about Civil War 2.0 and have been trying to dismantle voting rights for decades...

Conservatives are the kings of cancel culture. Ask any one of the literal hundreds of thousands of homeless queer children. Aw, but you get criticized on Twitter! So sad for you! Your life is so hard! You're so oppressed!

I simultaneously never understood why the right thought he is smart nor why the left think he's a far-right extremist.

"Compelled monogamy" is not a center-right position. Anyone who thinks he isn't far-right has not bothered to wade through his vapid blithering to learn his positions, which I suppose I can't really blame you for if you aren't into self-flagellation.

Yeah, HRT can be rough. Pretty much guaranteed to give you some things you want and some things you don't want.

Kind of like fairies? That could make things pretty interesting...

Yeah. There are all sorts of fae, so you wouldn't even have to take out their mining work. This would be an easy way to make the story more interesting AND remove potential offense, though I don't think it's necessary (and I'm a pretty hardcore SJW by most people's standards).

this one decided that this man should die, literally signing his death warrant just to grandstand for a vaccine.

You don't know much about candidacy for transplants if you think this. Many, many people could use that organ. You get sent to the back of the line for a transplant for a wide variety of reasons. In order to maximize the reduction in waste of organs (aka, maximize the help/life-saving capabilities of the system), the system prioritizes candidates based on their likelihood to, you know, not waste the organ by fucking dying from a disease they could have vaccinated themselves against. This factor in organ allocation is, I think, called "medical utility."

So that organ will go to someone else, someone less likely to die of COVID-19, thereby wasting the organ.

They're not humans with dwarfism; they're dwarves. I guess you could change it to "the seven gnomes/fae"? Might even make the story outright better, tbh. Making them more generalized by turning them into just "fae" would open up more options for character design and such, I suppose.

The anger itself is understandable. The actions are not.

Sure, weight issues often coincide with other health problems, be it physical injury or trauma or any number of things that are common for soldiers to develop.

I don't remember where I got that one. Is it good?

Yes, though not everyone is into that kind of game. It's a standout piece in its genre. Highly recommend.

I guess I don't know what is meant by "bipedal tank"? do you just mean battlemechs? battlemechs are bipedal, tanks are not.

Probably talking about Metal Gear.

Ill never understand what people think they gain out of doing shit like this. Especially a psych student, no way theyll let her graduate after this. She just threw her upcoming career away because of her hatred.

I dont know about prison, but she definitely needs psychological help herself.

I haven't seen the footage but did she notice that she was caught on film? She probably didn't realize it was being caught on camera.

just don't be an asshole?

That bitch is in such deep shit when the internet finds her, lol.

No, but I'm an incredibly reclusive person, so I'm not surprised.

I've read Sabriel, Liriel, and Abhorsen, but none of his other books. I gave those to my nephew quite a few years ago, and he loves them. Dressed up as an Abhorsen for a Halloween even.

Fucking nonsense.

Vaccines didn't exist in 1789.

"Finding the smallpox to be spreading much and fearing that no precaution can prevent it from running through the whole of our army, I have determined that troops shall be inoculated. This expedient may be attended with some inconveniences and some disadvantages, but yet I trust in its consequences will have the most happy effects. Necessity not only authorizes but seems to require the measure, for should the disorder infect the army in the natural way and rage with its virulence we should have more to dread from it than from the sword of the enemy."

Yeah, but honestly I don't find it very comfortable. I'd rather have both my legs elevated than one over the other.

You mean the group that defunded the police, fired a ton of cops over the vax, let a flood of violent criminals out of prison, and weakened bail policies so much that crimes are nearly unenforced sparking the largest crime wave in 30 years? That group? Yeah, why would he want to blame them for such a thing?

By all means continue to just make shit up.

As for vaccine firings? Cops are responsible for their own firing if they did not get vaccinated. Cops are permitted to invade the personal space of citizens as part of their job. If they do not care enough about protecting the public to get a vaccine, then I sure as fuck would not expect them to protect the public responsibly in their work. They're working on the taxpayer dime, which means we pay for their fuck-ups.

I work in a job that requires less exposure to the public than the police, and I would have been fired if I had not gotten vaccinated. It wasn't an issue, however, because I'm not a stupid, selfish, fearmongering, conspiracy theory-peddling loser who throws tantrums when I'm expected to participate in practices that this country has repeatedly engaged in as far back as our first fucking president.

As if you even know wtf defund the police even means. Reducing police workloads will save both civ and cop lives.

Yeah he had a gun in Quick Draw Kirby in Kirby's Adventure

I should reward my brain with sugar for managing to pull that out. I've not played that game for a long, long time.

The # of people identifying as something other than democrat or republican in that poll is unusually low.

I do not oppose it, with some conditions based upon an understanding of HRT on the human body over certain time periods.

Jangles ScienceLad has some good educational videos on this topic, which most people don't know much about. I recommend people who are interested in the subject but don't know where to start looking start by watching these:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VtjgZF9RE8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdMU_YvS_8g

Edit: And as an aside (and I think Jangles points this out in at least one of these videos), this fearmongering about trans people in sports also impacts intersex people. There's little to no consideration for intersex people in sports, despite the fact that there are, you know, millions of intersex people.

It's great that Radcliffe does weird movies, but I wish he'd do at least one good movie

I was told he was in a piece playing the son of Rudyard Kipling that was good, but I can't personally vouch for that as I didn't see it.

Honestly it's just a Tuesday at Fox.

Judge really wants to put soldiers and civs at risk of rape from this guy, huh?

I like how everyone is just crossing their fingers hoping Kotick gets canned. Alas, the world is cruel.

I pop up sometimes in Vaush's chat. The guy does not care about optics at all, which makes him easy to clip out of context and make him trend on twitter every couple of days *sigh*, and he can be a monumental asshole, and I often disagree with him, but I find consuming his content to be useful to me because he talks about a variety of subjects to a variety of people, and he doesn't shy away from confronting anyone about anything he disagrees with them on like a lot of content creators do. He's also quite good (not perfect by any means) at breaking down people's arguments, and he has a decent grasp of theory.

If you want my advice, I'd try paying attention to some of the things posted in his chat. His chat actually argues with him fairly regularly, and they're sometimes better at it than most of the people he has on his stream. Chat is fairly good at getting him to elaborate on and refine his points, but sometimes their pushback goes unnoticed. They're also pretty good at picking up on his jokes and such, so if you don't spot them, chat usually will.

But in the 2nd video there he outright points out the hypocrisy of attacking child slavery while using products made via child slavery

Yes, and the other big clip circulating around was one where he was talking about rule utilitarianism in order to argue that even if there is an extremely unusual case where a such a relationship was not damaging to the victim, it should STILL BE CONDEMNED.

All of these clips are quote-mines. Please learn to recognize when someone is fucking with quotes; it's incredibly common in political circles to do this, so if you want to engage in political content, you have to be on the lookout for it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30ui1x-eKIw

Obviously he's full of shit.

As an aside, I don't want to give him any credit by entertaining the notion that he's smart enough to realize that he could try and weaponize his base's racism in order to try and get them vaccinated so they stop dropping like flies before he runs for the presidency again.

Nope, just more vapid fearmongering to feed the their victim complex.

Didn't Kirby have a gun in a mini-game on the NES?

Early on, I put lightning on him, but after you get Choco-Mog+Elemental, Wind is better for the person who is basically stuck in your party for the whole game.

Eh, it all depends on your prep, really.

I'm not familiar with some of these characters, but Sylvando was never overtly confirmed to be LGBT+ to my knowledge, just HEAVILY coded as such.

Projection is a fairly common defense mechanism.
