I was heartened by how highly it was ranked even though I disagree

the first conspiracy.

Oh my gawd bro so you know that Southern chick, the wicked hawt one? I heard she gave Sully a handie and now he's like a fuckin vegetable on accounta her powahs. Still would though.

Five!

There's a part of me, as a person who grew up in the 90s in at best suburban Indiana where there was still real anti-Catholic stuff in the air sometimes, that gets nostalgic at seeing true brain fried anti-Papism made explicit

Early 3D rendering was baaaaaaad

Its not the fault of the information environment that people were credulous that the most pro life President in US history was going to protect IVF

Every Intro to every 40k game ever: This is the worst. The literal pits. All is lost to ignorance and superstition, violence is the only currency. Everyone is miserable. The worst possible outcome.

Every wehraboo idiot in contact with this game: But like for their setting they're good guys!

welcome to 40k

I think part of it is that people and Congress buy its own hype about how it works as a body that's mostly pollyanna hogswallop about moderation and compromise that's just sort of hilariously not true? Like Congress does lots of things 'encourage moderation and compromise' ain't among em

The Asuryani of Biel-Tan were witness to such a display. A portended doom if an alliance with Drukhari raiders came to pass.
It was decoded thus

We can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
′Cause your friends don't dance and if they don′t dance
Well, they're no friends of mine

End

The Drukhari reside in Commorragh and extend their lives through harvesting the suffering of others. The Exodites love simple lives on the maiden worlds having given up most technology. The Ynnari pursue salvation through the god of death.
However the strangest of all are the harlequins.

Stupid Lore Sunday

While to the outside it may appear that the Aeldari are primarily split into two distinct factions the reality is much more complex.
The Asuryani travel the galaxy aboard their craftworlds, safeguarding their future by manipulating fate.

Woke did not lead to bad art. Poor attempts to satisfy the demands of woke from insincere executives who did not want to accommodate the demands actual woke artists would place on process and result lead to bad art.

Well they're just writing it off, Ed

I particularly have no patience for this shit from people who don’t appear to be DOING anything. You think I have time for dooming? No, I have clients with actual problems whose lives are still going on and who still need my help.

in a Chinese context, these masculinity crises, *before* the late 19th century, tended to be either fears of uncontrolled masculinity or fears that women didn't Know Their Place. The 'our young men are too weak and girlish' idea is ... surprisingly largely absent until late, AFAIK.

Looking at what our universe couldn’t predict, Zohran’s strength with Latino and Chinese voters was remarkable.

The campaign’s citywide focus, carefully crafted messaging, and refusal to cede a single neighborhood to Cuomo meant that we were able to run up the score everywhere.

My hottest take about getting laid-as-politicsis it's downstream from housing policy. Nobody wants to have sex where they live with their parents, or have 1k roommates. We must increase the supply of cheap little apartments where people can bang 🙏

this is a good thread but I might actually take it further -- I don't think manosphere shit is actually about getting laid, I think it's literally about male loneliness, by which I mean, men addressing their loneliness via homosocial bonding through misogyny

they don't want pussy. they want to endlessly critique pussy

more seriously this was kind of Lina Khan's deal and it didn't work very well

There is no real need for a “Dem Stephen Miller,” it’s extremely easy to think up illegal partisan policies.

"oh, no, ugly people don't find it harder to find a partner. they're just single because they're a moral abomination" is a way of flattering one's own sexual preferences as being fundamentally rational, when in fact they are typically pretty shallow, racist, et cetera.

Marx wrote about all of this in his magnum opus “Das Kapitussy”

why did they call it a crisis of masculinity when “globalize the infant mantra” was right there
