Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Ladies, What’s stopping you from dressing like this

The only two I can think of that haven’t been mentioned yet, but I feel must:

Disco Elysium

Skywind

The latter is unreleased, but pretty much all the voice acting is done and the work I’ve heard is impeccable.

Eh. Food has killed people too, we’re not that impressive

I notice they didn’t say “live and let live”

I whip out my phone and throw the question to chat. Naturally

So that’s why the eel made that face at the aquarium when I sarcastically said “nice tail, shitneck!”

Exactly. You gesture at a truth that is out of reach, build and release tension in rising waves, foster an ambiguous apprehension of threat.

Horror is put to much rubbish by the fine arts, but crafting a real sense of horror is an exceedingly subtle art.

Yeah I’d just laugh like oh, this is clearly hilarious. Unambiguous. You would have to be way subtler to make me think my waiter had become dangerously unglued.

It takes two to tango. If you feed people like babies, they will shit in diapers.

Campbell’s work is valuable and interesting, but I like it better as a lens for modern media rather than as some grand unified theory of human culture.

Sounds like a match made in heaven. Eh. Not my thing

Yeah that’s part of it. That’s one specific mechanism by which our culture is in the hands of people with perverse incentives.

Sorry, I’m usually funnier

Here’s a medium take, most of human culture across its history has consisted of the same stories told anew. The only problem now is that the gatekeepers of our culture are moneyed interests, and the influence of shareholder interests and oligarchs means we end up watching the colour and life fade from our culture in realtime as capitalism declines.

An entire person would probably not exist today if I had that fifteen years ago 😶‍🌫️

A lot of facts here, but I should add that since cops are being actively trained for escalation and cruelty, and the fact that they are not to draw their weapon without an intent to kill, the fact is that no “less lethal” gadget or ammo is going to fix their behaviour. And neither is the Democrat answer of “more training” because the training they end up getting is more murder indoctrination.

You have to eliminate police unions, to start. End the 1033 program. Hell, defund the whole thing. Build a new society around what police ought to be doing, rather than merely projecting authority, violently crushing dissent, bashing minorities and poor people, and serving moneyed interests. The problems with police are deep rooted, systemic, and metastasised around a corrupt ideology.

Same, I never tried marrying anyone in a game. There’s literally no point. Invent a game where you can show characters the stupidest memes you’ve ever found, and they have a choice whether or not to ignore you. On that day, I will consider which one my character needs to marry.

Yeah no, they just didn’t care. Charitable of you though.

As a kid I had pretty loose video rental permissions. I frequently rented Jack Frost (1997). It was trash and I was too young to be watching it, but it ticks the boxes.

Up until recent comments, my emotions were mild irritation leavened with my own brand of slightly caustic humour. That clearly hasn’t worked out, and so I am reverting to a more neutral tone. No more jokes, just information.

My view on the matter has purely been a matter of taste, and different people have been trying to make it a matter of ableism. Other people have different preferences and tastes. I like jokes to be funny, and explaining them makes them suck in my opinion. I think that’s pretty self-explanatory, and I’ve done my best to be clear on this point.

You’ve been ascribing various untrue feelings, attitudes, and conditions to me in search of a way to litigate your own preferences. That is an unpleasant way to be treated. I’ve tried my best to be funny, and then civil, and my warning now is that we’re nearing the end of civility.
