I think there's also something to them using genre trappings as a ledge to grab on to. To be frank I have a hard time with more like. Realistic emotional fiction, I always feel voyeuristic. But tell that same story and there's a wizard and that problem goes away. I might be projecting though.

I trashed my caffeine intake and my solution has been using chocolate covered espresso beans to approximate my old intake and very slowly dialing it back. Caffeine withdrawal was a nightmare for me last time best of luck however you manage it

When I become president it will be on a platform of adding an extra day to the week during which commerce is forbidden, specifically so adults can catch up on their gaming

I think it's fair to say they need a messaging apparatus, I think they're going about it wrong though because they're looking for one silver bullet guy when what they need is to recreate the infinite money pool in right wing media. The next problem is step two: having a message to deliver.

I swear to God. I'm sympathetic to the idea that maybe there were age related issues with late era Biden but all the reporting is like this or that whole salacious nothing about the Parkinsons doctor so instead I get mad.

I mean like also at some point reckoning with the magnitude of what you've done is impossible. Like he's directly responsible for the outbreak in Samoa but that's very easy to abstract away under "well that can't be my fault I wasn't trying to make people die of mesales. I'm trying to help."

My friends can verify it but one of the things I was furious about when Trump won was having to learn about a cavalcade of new, Terrible Guys and I gotta say it's worse than I thought!

Also like it's real easy to believe things when you get rewarded for it, and it's real easy to fall into some real horrifying shit if that's also telling you that you're a real special boy and should be in charge.

I disagree! Even if some of those visions lost in their day they are fundamentally entwined with the fabric of our history! I suspect a lot of your criticisms of American Empire I just disagree that it was a foregone conclusion and that those other visions are rhetorically useless.

Genuine question: what do you think I'm saying because I don't think it's what you think it is?

I'm just tired of people who cede the ground of what America is and could be to the right. America has literally always been a shitload of competing visions of what it could and should be! Some of them are pretty good and people actually care about those better visions already!

I feel like this moment is really sorting people who believe things from everyone else. And like I probably disagree strenuously with what Stephens believes but I guess he believes things!

If you do let me know where I can submit an application to be a mook, I can say "got it boss" with the best of them.

I think the thing that really annoys me about this perspective is that I think there's a lot of disagreement about what America is, what it can and should be... And these assholes just kind of agree with the right wing ghouls in the name of a hypothetical utopian post America world order.

I think the problem is the spectacle is very good with it and there's parts of the story that are really good (for instance you fight bahamut in space while a real banger of a boss fight track plays and it rocks) but also the slavery stuff it's built on is pretty bad and boring.

Well they're moneyed perverts so their interaction with medicine is calling their personal doctor to re up their prescriptions to their favorite drugs and who needs research for that just make a computer do it.

Sure but I think if you're worth your money as a political consultant (most of these dipshits aren't) you gotta know when you need a new playbook. I wish we had anyone near these folks who knew that >_>;

Ok but a lot of the people who whine about conservative Christians being persecuted do have overtly anti-social behaviors.
