there's a charm to a movie having committed stans; sometimes I feel Spousebot and I are the only people to understand Snyder's only actually good film (Sucker Punch)
"got to use a prehistoric technology (torrenting) to get the best film in the history of humanity (atomic blonde) because we can't find out which of the 999 current streaming services have this artwork." regardless of your opinion on atomic blonde, this makes a real point
that print rocks, as does the nail color. nicely done.
do you think they're confusing the main mag with Teen Vogue, which has been surprisingly been doing actual journalism and generally being awesome?
dark abundance * Destroy broken government: 👍 * Replace it with strong central authority: 🤮
these are all terrible fits but i guess abundance dynamism is the least bad fit, none of them really seem to have a recognizable antiauthoritarian component. a lot of 'by any means possible' language really making me not like the options on offer
lord you're bad at this
it needs at least twice as many. three times as many would be better. Europe's hardly suffering. Germany's at 6.5 times the US population density. Are you really out here claiming on god's internet that we couldn't possibly manage being a third as population-dense as Germany?
I'm sure it must be. you could just...not be. That's what i do and it's worked out nicely. Advocating for fewer humans, though, is a bit of a hard sell. Very zero-sum, thanatophilic angle. can't endorse.
it absolutely does (on both counts)
slightly more than 9 times. the thing is that's far more of a marker of how severely underpopulated the us is than it is a marker of overpopulation in Japan.
that is not even a tiny bit true. Japan is 2.6 times less population dense than topeka, kansas. a tenth as dense as los Angeles. one-eightysixth as dense as manhattan. is Connecticut extremely crowded? bc they've got near identical population density
as with alpha wolves, the wire mother is a real powerful image that's narratively satisfying but turns out to not be a thing, yeah
i'm still mad they banned all the porno gif accounts
Intent and likelihood are clear, and you've got some wiggle room on imminence. Not a slam dunk, but quite colorable.
100% protected free speech, that. Loathsome, but protected.
ok yeah i'm on board
rageohol addiction's a hell of a condition
if you present them with evidence that women with college degrees have MORE kids and are more likely to get married (which is true) you'll be stunned to know that their views don't change
it's a good book gang, get it (and the two previous ones)
it's not the raw numbers so much as the demographic pyramid -- if they do go back to 1970s level population it will be a hugely different age distribution, which means societal costs for elder care and far fewer working folks, affecting tax revenue to pay for that elder care.
depressing how low that bar is but SK is routinely damn high on the 'worst developed nations to be a woman in' lists, so
to be technical, posting an unsupported and unsupportable claim that's obviously bananas is what would count as trolling here
best way to do that is to have more trained minds to engage with the problem, and the best way to do that longterm is to have more kids.
It's gonna be Interesting Times for sure once we get commercially available exowombs sometime in the next 20 years or so
straight up UBI, and a living-wage UBI at that, not just a few hundred bucks a month, would do it. Increased precarity is very real and prospective parents are keenly aware of it.
no need to make up an extra 800 million people that aren't around currently. you can just say 'too many brown people'; it's becoming more and more acceptable of a mainstream position and it's what all population control advocacy boils down to.

begging you to confirm this is an actual quote
YOU CAN JUST PICK IT UP AND THROW IT INTO THE SPACE
in theory yes but making them playable was a giant mistake, their entire Thing is being a disruptive-ass GM nightmare
as someone who has had his ass kicked on easy mode, this actually got me to feel sympathy for the driver
call a buddy or two and just turn the car off and move it into the parking spot like a couch
there's a reason i refuse to rewatch Weekend at Bernie's and "because I am no longer 14 and it cannot possibly hold up to my memory of it" is that reason
not so many NOs but many "HOW" and "WHY" from me
they did achieve a perfect *perpendicular* park towards the end, so in theory they're a simple transformation away
i try not to kinkshame on here but i just saw someone call Dragonlance a "beloved setting" and i am frowning real hard rn
The real lesson was *how little time* it took to collapse, 12 to 18 months. It seemed a juggernaut, the kind of thing that would be around for decades, essential. And it vanished like the mirage it was.
Well worth a watch if you're het up about that wildly misframed Chorus thing
huh, I thought it was mandated. idk, bg3 triggers can get weird. i'm mad i locked myself out of Karlach smooches inadvertently but next playthrough i'll know what to do
spock shoulda had one of these instead of a lyre
love me some niche instruments, neat
I mean Astarion's some off-brand Hot Topic edge and even that's slightly more flavor than Gale, though I'll never know for sure bc creeping up on me in my sleep to bite me is a direct ticket to Staketown
i mean i ain't beatin those allegations either
BG3's Gale and it's not by a little, huge 'love interest that came with the frame' energy
is that a fukken *escape club* lyric Mx. Bear hply sjot
eeesh yeah no
🧪 #birds #birding Red-tailed hawk mantling unknown prey, revealing rabbit, finishing rabbit, one-legged hopping into shade to eat rabbit. And H. I. McDunnough's doleful incantation echoes once again in my ears, "It's a hard world for little things".
what the hell is that maroon thing in the second pic that looks like a Covenant rifle from Halo
* different and arguably better norms
Quality pup, no doubt.
yeah my only other suggestion was Star Castle. But Zektor's playable online in the browser so you can take it for a spin and see if it's what you remember
i'm hoping we'll see a bold stance in favor of quartering soldiers in civilian homes next
the...fifth?
just rewatched it about a week ago. "why do we have that lever" is in uncommon but regular rotation around the house.
noice, good find
i mean saffron would at least have beaucoup resale value
idk broham do they ever do anything worth saying something positive about
it is not ideal
straight up the thing I learned in high school i use the most regularly, touch typing fuckin owns
yeah i fuckin played this, let me see if i can cudgel it out of my brain
for sure, no argument there
tbf there's 100% an ongoing social media moral panic and 'protecc the chidruns' is super effective at getting bullshit passed
this, too, is praxis
not a native speaker but my digging around feels like it's really on the bubble there, like you can go with the former meaning and have the latter used either by enemies or by friends as gentle ribbing
look i got 2 editions how am i not getting this one, OG burned over was real good
phasers set to *adorbs*, nice job
look i do not want to make obvious space pants comments but i am being tested rn
headcanoning the spider-man cartoon theme into this so hard rn
you really fuckin hate gay people huh
your homophobia is showing, blanqui. consider not using "he gay lol" as an insult. or just delete your account.
honestly thought this was @pokeythepenguin.bsky.social for a hot second
you can just say "I'm dumb and don't know shit about trans physiology or sports" you know, you don't have to be all "my minority friends" about it
i mean i have to agree that this person isn't helping, good of them to self diagnose
fit check for my ajeossi era
can't argue with results, baffling though they are. some sort of blood pressure thing? idk
you haven't lost the touch, M.
yeah I had to go look it up and was all "Really? This is the photo y'all are having a fit over?" as you say, we're in a Renaissance of new and exciting vectors for moral panics (highly derogatory)
yeah the usual numbers of things are zero, one, or lots. two is, to use scientific jargon, Hella Sus
oh no is Moore also throwing trans people under the bus
how else is he gonna keep his dominance over the ratio feed
rancid-ass k-hive bullshit
1. i ain't really need to do shit you tell me 2. fuck you 3. you know what it needs underlining: really, fuck you
seriously any random armed character on Supernatural, from the stars to the one-offs, shows better trigger/muzzle discipline and firearm handling than the ostensibly trained cops on The Glades
yep that checks out
ugh paradox i'm still mad at them for being the reason we're never getting Tyranny II
oh wait this isn't a sequel to the good turnbased one from harebrained nm
how many mechwarrior fives do you do before it just starts rounding up to 6 and is this an xpac or a wholeass standalone
certainly hoping WMF tells them to pound sand but I'm genuinely unsure whether or not they'll truckle
Denys no it's *so bad*
the video for (G)I-DLE's "Tomboy", amusingly, is excruciatingly High Femme with zero tomboy energy but they make it work
oh i imagine he's still around somewhere if you go lookin' i'm 51 and just now getting heck of into kpop, it ain't never too late
does this affect the de minimis bullshit at all
I'm not familiar with their films, was Lee one of the Hong Kong guys who did A Better Tomorrow
the first line in book one is "gentlemen, we're riding a neotiger here" and my original impulse to go "well that's really put the hyperfox among the ultrachickens" and hurl it across the room was well founded and should have been followed
to be fair your amusingly misplaced ignorant condescension is practically American in its entirely unwarranted confidence
i mean he *clearly* just wants to write in-universe fictional white papers just let him do that so we don't have to suffer through his plotting and characterization
