Important PSA:

A tweet from John Fugelsang reads in all caps: "NO FOOD FOR YOU UNTIL THE DEMOCRATS LET US TAKE AWAY YOUR HEALTHCARE" – US House Speaker Mike Johnson.

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.

Seriously, I've said it before, but Gunn is truly a master of his craft.

A comic book show about one of the world's dumbest anti-heroes shouldn't be one of the best shows on TV, but it is. #peacemaker #jamesgunn

Life Pro-tip: if you need Taco Sauce, order one packet from Taco Bell and you'll have enough for a whole year.

Ok, thanks for the advice, but I'll keep doing things my way and you can do them your way.

Well, you're free to throw up your hands and do nothing then. No one's forcing you to boycott them. Have a good day

Sure, but they don't know that unless you contact them to let them know why you're not shopping there.

I checked who's advertising on The Daily Caller in this article, and it looks like Walmart is running an ad on their site right now. I reached out to them to tell them I can't shop there if this is the sort of rhetoric they are associating with their brand.

Fulfilling soft power fantasies is just as important as fulfilling hard power fantasies, if not more so, because it reminds us of our humanity and our civility towards others.

And given how many players I've seen say they do this, I have to believe that there's a good many people out there who would do the right thing if they could.

They're about things you can't normally do in real life - otherwise you would. So sometimes the power fantasy is as simple as being as rich or unworried about money that you can just give a total stranger $10,000 to make their life better.

I'm sure I got feedback during production that there wasn't much of a point to this, because the player doesn't get rewarded. But, games are about allowing you to explore power fantasies. And power fantasies aren't always about beating the bad guy with the most powerful weapons you can amass.

And do you know what rewards they get for doing that? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even an achievement. They just give up the money. Some lines of dialogue as a thank you and some followup dialogue, and that's it.

I'm proud to have written two of those characters, because it goes to show you that some people will go out of their way to give a few virtual humans large sums of fake money that they still had to put real effort into earning, instead of buying more virtual guns or spaceships or whatever.

I was reading a thread on Reddit about Starfield and a commenter mentioned that in all their playthroughs, they always give money to a few NPCs who are poor, downtrodden, or need it for some other reason.

Just to remind people that there is still good in the world.

Here here!

Meanwhile, I witnessed plenty of MAGA people getting real big mad and losing their minds over Cracker Barrel updating to a more more modern logo, claiming it was somehow "woke" when really it was just bland.

Just so it's clear:

Very few people were actually upset over the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad, yet "anti-woke" MAGA made it seem like liberals everywhere were foaming at the mouth over it.

I finally watched that new episode of South Park, and it may be one of the most hilarious and subversive pieces of media I've ever seen.

The admin that leaked war plans on Signal and stored classified documents in a Mar a Lago bathroom wants to relitigate Hillary's emails?

For someone who claims to be so strong and manly, he sure looks weak bitching and moaning all the time.

I don't know if this is just a guy thing, but it's not uncommon to see boogers plastered on the wall where they do their business in public bathrooms.

To which I say, if you're gonna be a lil snot goblin, the least you could do is eat what you pick out of your nose like the rest of your people.

I hate that I agree with Nick Fuentes about anything, but here we are.

Has he ever claimed to actually be pro-worker?

I too had a turn from conservatism/libertarianism a long while back, so I get it. I'm so glad I did. I wish more people would follow a similar path.

This is not the sick burn you think it is. Your mom doesn't pay your Internet bill so you can tell people you've never put in the real work to stand up for something you believe in. At least have the guts to show up at a pro-life protest with all the other loonies.

I applaud you for allowing yourself to challenge your deeply held beliefs and coming up with a different point of view. That takes a lot of courage.
