ACLU, EFF, FFRF…
The problem is, these groups try to do things honestly.

No, people were getting suspicious of the possible Goblin = Jew metaphor was getting discussed at that time.

But maybe don’t include the floor in the center shot when you’re already being accused of antisemitism.

Yes, but Hermione was one of the good ones and the system found her and elevated her.

Doesn’t mean it wasn’t statutory rape.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 week ago:
You underestimate my level of cynicism at this point. You also underestimate my disrespect for the average gamer. If they’re not lapping up on form of propaganda, they’re lapping up another.
- Comment on Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading 1 week ago:
I’m not sure how much I should care. I haven’t bought a Ubisoft game in decades anyway. They don’t make anything I need, so it’s not like it’s an inconvenience to boycott.

Ubisoft better get comfortable with not owning their own company.

He probably has blackmail on some producer. They probably have the same blackmail on them. They’ve probably been to the same Epstein parties and if not Epstein, someone else’s parties.

- Comment on What's your favorite case of a game making fun of you? 2 weeks ago:
Marathon (1994) has several call outs to the player when the AI giving you mission briefing calls the PC out for not caring and just wanting to shoot things. There’s a lot of meta commentary in that series.
- Comment on A hypothesis 2 weeks ago:
There was a fairy large era of macs that were way more open to customization then windows. Probably still true because Microsoft has gotten a lot more aggressive about locking down their os and the average gamer has no clue how to install mods if it isn’t from the Steam workshop.
- Comment on Can Cows and Solar Power Coexist? We’re About to Find Out 2 weeks ago:
Rutgers has been exploring Agrivoltaics for a while. High mounted panels, crops that benefit from shade and pivoting panels with profiles for both following the sun and adjusting out of the way of equipment.
Cows are entirely possible, but the concern isn’t with them chewing wires, but rubbing on poles or panels. They simply need to be high.

The official story that the Red Ranger being a Native American, the Yellow Ranger being Asian, etc… being an accedent is plausible enough. Sure. Maybe someone who was involved with casting thought it would be funny and didn’t tell anyone?
Harassing the gay actor out of the production should be the thing more people talk about.

I didn’t make fun of China for being a surveillance state. I was terrified for the citizens for China being a surveillance state. Same with the UK.

If more Christians would read the bible, there’d be less Christians.

They aren’t a teacher anymore. The system crushed him and he left.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 3 weeks ago:
I had a friend who tried sticking up for his students when the school’s Zero Tolerance Drug Policy™ meant that they couldn’t carry epipens around them. The Principal’s defense when he was told he was he was going to get sued for a wrongful death was “I’ve been sued before”. My friend was let go the following year and didn’t have the energy to sue.
Considering the overall state of the US, I don’t think my anecdotes are exactly exceptions. Everything I’ve feared would happen is happening.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 3 weeks ago:
I got lied to about my placement tests for no one’s gain. I got stone walled and gaslighted every time I tried improving my situation.
The most passion I ever heard from a teacher the was a rightwing asshole in my civics class when he was complaining about immigrants or welfare queens. My science teacher had to be asked directly about climate change for him to utter his take on that.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 3 weeks ago:
I got screwed at every step of my education. The passion gets ground out of them without them realizing.
- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 3 weeks ago:
oh, they definitely don’t care about the kids. They care about getting arrested or sued.

You were just helping the economy by not hoarding it. If more billionaires actually spent their money, things wouldn’t be as bad as they are.
