…ok, now, you say literally. Do you literally mean literally? As in we’re shipping people there with the intention of killing them?
Because that’s both shocking, but also believable. There is no floor for this administration.
Soooooo…I don’t WANT to believe the government is using official government resources to kill people. But at the same time, we literally have had two government officials do nazi salutes on tv this year.
A maga death camp would be shocking, but not surprising. As sad as that would be to say.

My body is made of trees.
I can say that. I can offer no evidence. I can do no work to prove it. I can ignore how half the country knows I’m full of shit, and still have half the country believe my bullshit.
And if the situation changes, I can always move the goalposts.
Either way, I gain nothing by trying harder, and face no consequences either way.
What motivation do I have to even try to be more secret in my corruption?

Fireworks sales are legal in Ohio. Setting them off is illegal.

I mean…I feel like that’s enough, honestly. Jack Black voiced Bowser just because he can sing. Chris Pratt voiced Mario…for reasons I still don’t understand.
I was never a Charles Martinet fan, and Capt Lou Albano is dead. But at least Arin IS a voice actor. Shit, he could probably do what The Simpsons and Family Guy do, where one guy voices like half the characters.
He could do Mario, Toad, DK JR, and Sugar Bear. I know Sugar Bear isn’t a Nintendo property, but fuck it, ya know? Have you seen him voicing Sugar Bear and Granny? I could legit watch a weekly 30 minute cheaply animated show where they keep having Sugar Bear steal Grannys cereal.
Although I do think he, and JackSepticeye, and Markiplier and Danny Sexbang all spread themselves a tad thin at times. Taking on too many projects at once.
I can’t blame them though. Their lives look fun. Basically they wake up and get to ask themselves “Ok, what stupid shit do I want to do today?”
And then we get the 10 minute power hour, where they learn to do cirque del soil, or they order a bunch of kit kat flavors from amazon.
I’d be much fatter, but much happier if I was told "Your job today is to eat chocolate in the morning, and at 3pm you’re going to talk in silly voices working for Nintendo.
Imagine living THAT life.

Blame Nintendo.
Back in the early 1980s fresh off the video game crash of 1983, Nintendo was on the verge of releasing the Famicom in Japan, and needed a way to market the console in America.
There was just one rule. In America, video games were dead. A fad. Disco was dead, and so were video games. So it wasn’t a Famicom. It was a Nintendo Entertainment System.
In stores like Woolworths (think Walmart but not terrible) and Hills (think Target, but also a bit shady) they tried marketing the NES as an Entertainment system. It wasn’t a video game. It was an appliance. Like a VCR. It was the only way to get stores to agree to stock the damn thing. No store wanted the risk of a video game.
Well, after a year of selling, and research Nintendo found kids were the main target of their product.
So they shifted away from the electronics section and into the toy isle. There was just one problem. Toy stores in America were divided. Some isles carried toys for boys, and the other half of the isles carried the toys for girls.
A bit of market research showed that interest in Nintendo shifted slightly more towards boys. 55%‐45%.
What happens next is the key to the PS2 ads.
Nintendo chose to carry the NES in the boys section of the toy isles. Which had an IMMEDIATE influence over not only the marketing in America, but also the direction developers took their games.
There was a clear shift towards the games AND the marketing being geared towards boys 5-13.
Nintendo then DOMINATED the video game landscape. Seriously. If your mom today is roughly 80 years old, theres a pretty good chance she calls all video games “Nintendos” (regardless of brand), the same way she calls all tissues “kleenex”. Or if you’re from the south (especially Georgia) all soft drinks “coke”. Could be orange soda, it’s a coke. Just like it’s one of those Xbox 1080p Nintendos.
Well by the time of the PS2 days, that influence, even though Sony had nothing to do with it, had caked over. Video games were now very male centric, and the age range grew up with them.
In the late 80s, you were 5 years old playing super mario bros. In the mid 90s, you were 13 playing tomb raider and argueing with friends over the validity of a nude cheat code. And by 2001 you were 18 and horny, and…hey, look at these ads for the PS2. They’re edgy!
And that is my TedTalk on why raunchy dreamcast ads, and raunchy PS2 ads goes all the way back to the atari 2600 game crashing the whole industry worldwide 20 years earlier.
That, and puberty.

- Comment on A Donkey Kong film is seemingly in development at Universal Pictures and Nintendo — registered at the US Copyright Office 2 days ago:
Please tell me it’s a sequal/spinoff to the Super Mario Bros movie.
And please tell me Arin Hanson voices the role of Donkey Kong JR.
Now, in case you’re confused about which one DK JR is, there was a 1982 game called “Donkey Kong JR”. It was a sequal to the 1981 game game “Donkey Kong”. He also made an appearance in the SNES game “Mario Kart”.
And then we never heard from him again.
The Donkey Kong in Donkey Kong Country is actually Donkey Kongs grandson. Which would make Cranky Kong the original DK…AND THUS THE COOLEST!!!
I just want Arin Hanson to guest cameo as DK JR.
- Comment on Eating would be weird if we didn't enjoy it. 2 days ago:
I always think to myself…
"Cats are weird, because cats are weird. But they all have different personalities. Yet you kind of understand what a cat will or won’t do. A cat will never starve itself, because he just doesn’t like the concept of food. It may eat less than another cat. I’ve had a fat cat, and a skinny cat. The skinny cat liked eating some food when it wakes up. Then it would save half the meal until later. Well what the fat cat would do is eat all of her half, and then wait for the skinny cat to walk away. Then she’d eat the skinny cats remains. We had to start locking up the skinny cats leftover food, and put the fat cat in the bathroom before we gave the skinny cat the other half.
Then one night the skinny cat wouldn’t eat. At all. She was sick. She died that same night. It wasn’t because she varied from other cats in her willingness to eat food. It was because she knew she was going to die.
But then you look at humans. Humans are weird, because WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SPECIES??? Some of them are 80lbs as adults, and you can count their ribs, and they refuse to eat because they think they’re too fat.
Then there’s others who are 700lbs, and eating whole turkeys by themselves, and afterwards claiming they’re still hungry.
And thats just food. Humans are weird in every single way.
One time in 2006 I was waiting outside best buy for a Wii. It’s 2am, negative 5 degrees outside, store doesn’t open until 10am.
Guy in front of me had a tent, and an extension cord, and a tv, and a vcr, and a microwave. He had a tent apartment basically.
So this guy is watching Jurassic Park in his tent. I can’t see it, but I can hear it. Ilove that movie. Favorite movie, and I can “see” it, just by hearing it.
He gets to the T-Rex paddock breakout scene. THE iconic scene of the whole franchise. An iconic scene in cinema all around.
He stops the movie there. He STOPS the movie!!! And instead plays Seinfeld episodes.
Humans are weird.

- Comment on Germans must be pretty happy. 2 days ago:
The Americans DID punish fascism severely. My grandfather stormed the beaches on D-Day. He lost his best friend from grade school. They were barely out of high school.
As for the Americans of today? I don’t consider maga to be American. Just like I don’t consider confederates to be Americans.
- Comment on Germans must be pretty happy. 2 days ago:
Glad it was already said, and by an actual German no less!
I was going to say “If I know Germans, they’re not happy. They’d rather leave fascism in the past and not have it exist anywhere. Also, whatever new government exists in the future, they’d like it to be really efficient, but also have triplicate paperwork. Which is somehow filled out easier than most single sheet forms.”
But then you came in, and summed up everything I was going to say.

It’s why fighting fascism is like losing weight, you can’t reach a goal and stop giving a fuck, it’s a lifestyle.
Can confirm. 330lbs I said “I’ll reach 320.”
At 320 I said I’ll reach 310.
At 310 I said 300.
At 300 I said 290.
Then 280.
I went back up to 250. Oh no no no no no. Fuck that shit. I’m going to see 240. And when I do, it’ll set my sights on 230.
And when I see 230, I will hug someone. Because that will be 100lb.
Which means I’ll look to 220.
And then 210.
And 200.
I don’t know where my weight loss journey ends. I don’t know when I’ll feel at a healthy weight.
I just know I hope my journey brings me to a day when I get to punch a nazi.
Because nazi lives DON’T matter!
