I’d recommend assassination, in Minecraft. If you’re leaving the server and everything is fucked then do one for the team and make some heads roll, in Minecraft. The right used violence and it led to the presidency. A coup was rewarded. Let’s take some notes.

Reminds me of the aesthetics on toys/candy from other countries, but much more polished.
- Comment on Many TV stations put a banner ad in the picture these days 2 weeks ago:
Look at the sports with systemic ad presence vs sports where it’s all “grass roots.” (The grass roots ones are mostly gone.)
Most top sports are incredibly expensive to keep running and the ones that become infested with ads are the ones that stick around for us to enjoy. If you follow less popular sports you’ll consider yourself lucky to bring in ads.
- Comment on Remedy Has Recouped 'Most' of the Development and Marketing Expenses for Alan Wake 2 2 weeks ago:
I can barely run steam and the games I bought on steam at the same time, which is required for most games. Steam disabled certain features and bloated the software – their launcher takes more resources than actual games. AAA games. (From a decade ago, but still.)
Other launchers might be garbage but the bar seems to be pretty low. Only thing anyone can say is “get a better computer” because in their mind that is a great rebuttal to “why is a game tied to a launcher which takes up 4x as many resources as my entire OS?”

I tried googling ‘jimmy fallon vulcan’ and couldn’t find that picture, just him joking about a statue. It’s spot on though

They’re unaliving censorship, or however younger generations say it.

I like the wasps around my house, they’re Apache wasps I think. I’ve shooed them away, worked next to them, they just watch me or fly around. Seems I need to really try to anger them.
Mud daubers are cool too but their life cycle is nightmare fuel, I feel for the spiders.

My favorite part of Transformers was when my government had the script changed to include Marines being heroic. We really needed good PR after that whole Afghanistan and Iraq thing.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
If you smoke weed you’re more likely to wear converse. It’s aesthetics. When someone says they’re anti abortion I usually see it as aesthetics. They want others to see them as being anti abortion. That’s what they get out of it.
It isn’t a literal belief. Democrats reduce abortions, much better than cons. Being anti abortion should mean voting for Democrats… IF you were still taking things literally. It’s not misinformation or lack of education, it’s misaligned priorities.
They’re just trying to be a tribe and signal allegiance. To have literal beliefs that you live by regardless of “your side” is a completely different game to what they’re playing.

It’s Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein, not sure how popular that series was… The monster was named Deucalion, he was a good persona if I remember right… and he could teleport around the world.
- Comment on "But I prefer The Creature if it's all the same to you." 5 weeks ago:
My favorite name he was ever given is Deucalion.

Some spiders do hang out to watch courtship. Male wolf spiders (called eavesdroppers) will watch and mimic other males performing taps and whatnot.

Give me a superhero movie like Hard to be a God . Something great, unforgettable, slow, weird… something that stands on it’s own, but has superheroes.

I assume an Olympic shooter would use a different stance when firing a more powerful gun and still “blow their head off.”

- Comment on Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show 4 months ago:
What I don’t understand about the handlers thing is that when I watch other famous people walking and talking: I see their handlers steer them, give them signals, whisper names in their ear. And you know what? Celebrities in their prime look awkward all the time. People who have nothing to worry about but their craft and being famous screw up all the time.
- Comment on To all you outside of the US... 4 months ago:
I don’t see how what conservatives say has anything to do with reality.
Biden has been “senile” and “too old” for years now, during which time we’ve had a functioning Biden administration.
The Trump admin was limp, chronically understaffed, weak, ineffectual. That’s what they’re pretending is better than Biden. Conservatives don’t even care about senility so if you hear them rag on Biden and think they’re right, you’re not understanding what they’re really saying.
- Comment on Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show 4 months ago:
Damn, I guess I’m going to ignore years of evidence that Biden’s admin can function just fine and go with my feelings on this one. I mean would you vote constructively if it meant getting over yourself? Of course not. We’re Americans. We want a leader with a good jaw, not with good character or good ideas.
Nah but seriously though. Biden and Trump make me feel bad so I’m going to vote in a way that harms the country. That’ll show us.

Why does the Superbowl only have two teams? It seems unfair since I don’t know how the two teams were selected and don’t really care enough to pay attention / find out.

- Comment on Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much 6 months ago:
But capitalism doesn’t explain itself in terms of “the owning class” screwing everything up out of self-interest. Capitalism will talk about positively channeling people’s self-interest. The intent is to construct a system that benefits people the most.
It’s objectively not working as intended unless you think there’s like… a hidden conspiracy behind capitalism where the elites carefully inculcated an economic theory over generations in order to normalize a system that would end up solidifying their status for hundreds of years to come.
It’s not working as intended, and it won’t work as intended, therefore we shouldn’t try to fix it.
- Comment on Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much 6 months ago:
Someone who doesn’t have conspiracy-brain. The people that say capitalism is working as intended seem to live by the inverse razor of “never attribute to collective stupidity of the implementors what can be attributed to deliberate malice by illuminati-like mechanisms.”

- Comment on Goku gives Cell a Senzu Bean 6 months ago:
On one hand, the point of Goku is that he isn’t a good person, he’s more like a force of nature. A lot of things he does isn’t good by normal measures.
On the other hand, he’s a messiah figure. He is the savior of earth, a god, and his actions have worked out so far. If it’s bad but Goku does it and nobody can change his mind, then it’s good.
