Why does this smell like something that’s a problem only because corporations have the same rights as people?

Well you see, this person is MAGA — that means that at every point in a conversation they’ve got 16 different little strawmen to argue against on top of whatever you say.
In other words, this person is a total fucking dipshit whose opinions are about as valuable as day old cow shit. Sorry, no, I can use cow shit for fertilizer.

So what do you do for work? I’m just wondering how far detached from reality you actually are.

Yes. They need to fear for their lives the same way everyone else terrorized by MAGA does.

You understand this line of thinking is exactly why Elon Musk was allowed to fly under the radar for so many years?
No, the children are not at fault. They are his progeny, and they will be taught to think like him. Especially considering how rich they are.

- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 1 week ago:
I am living proof, actually, I’ve struggle with insomnia from a young age and can absolutely corroborate that days after nights where I rested with my eyes closed were considerably better than days where I did something to occupy the time (like reading, as an example).
But boy is it fucking boring.
- Comment on Truth is way more fucked up than fiction 1 week ago:
Clancy was a staunch conservative. Dedicated several of his books to notable conservative politicans such as Ronald Reagan. He supported the NRA (yes I understand the NRA has changed form over the years but I don’t really care) and he opposed abortion.
He praised Bush for being a ‘good guy’, granted he did challenge the justifications for the Iraq War (I also don’t really care about a broken clock managing to be right).
I haven’t read any of his novels for a very long time, but what I remember is that amongst the tech and spy stuff there is stuff that sounds like very clear RW propaganda (to me).
Granted, this is the first time I’ve thought about Clancy in years outside of conversations with my (you might have guessed it) conservative coworker. I don’t really know much about the man other than he was definitely conservative. I think you could probably make the argument that he was center right, and that that center right from the 60’s is very different than the center right of today. Draw your own conclusions.

Why would I ever do that? Ever?

Why would Clancy write anything that isn’t in full support of conservative idealogy?

Again, I don’t have much to add — but god damnit I try to go to bed early and end up staying awake staring at the ceiling all night.
I could probably get more sunlight but this is a post on how to be less sleepy, not more sleepy.

Capitalizing every word in a sentence is also stupid, yet here we have people discussing the pseudo-grammar of it.

You must have tree trunks for legs, but my very literal perception of this joke has always been ‘uphill, no downhill — just uphill’. As if they were on some kind of treadmill of hell.

But that’s not a hill? What were you, rich?

I don’t think anyone just uses one device anymore, pretty sure there are workarounds.

Makes me think God was a woman, and this is her pulling up the ladder.
I’m not being serious, of course, but it’s a fun concept — to me.
- Comment on To the rapidly aging person reading this: GameFAQs is 30 years old, and people are sharing their memories of the venerable guide hub 1 week ago:
The written language is developed by the spoken language. I.e. colloquialisms are king.
I raged against people using literally when they mean figuratively for years. I lost.

Hey so, this might seem pretty extreme but um…
People who even attempt to steal sunlight should die. I don’t care how, they should just be dead.

To me it looks like the U to the far left is also messed up — it could be some kind of misalignment that’s applying more pressure on specifically that part of the press.
Idk, maybe there was an earthquake or something – I actually kind of like imperfections like this.

You can make the argument that Helldivers is more of a mission based shooter, and many people will agree with you.
Hunt is absolutely an extraction shooter. You take gear into a raid, fight other players, collect money and even their guns, fight a boss and collect the bounty when you extract.

Ah yes, I wonder why the game that goes on sale for like 10 or 15 bucks that runs on a fucking potato is outselling it’s successor.

This makes me wonder, is the Big O notation connected to the square cube law in any way? Cuz Big O being named for one of the things that makes its existence impossible would amuse me.

- Comment on Relatable. 4 weeks ago:
So Cowboy Bebop is not a shonen. It’s a seinen. Trigun is a little odd because it shifted from shonen to seinen somewhere along its publication history.
I point that out because seinen/josei compared to shonen/shojo is more or less the equivalent of young adult fiction to children’s fiction.
Children’s fiction is supposed to be easy to understand. It should be filled with trope’s, kids can’t really empathize with things that are more complicated. Or maybe they’re at an age where they can but maybe shouldn’t, i.e. show with themes of suicide for an already teetering on depressed teenager.
All that to say that I think your family members perspective is… severely limited. Not watching Trigun because you’d rather rewatch Naruto is 100% their choice but… it’s a pretty stupid way to live your life.
“Pff, why would I watch these ninjas do magic? I can just watch space wizards do magic and fight with lightsabers. Naruto is trash, Star Wars is peak.” Or something.
