“gender is a construct”

Okay you and Nuke can have a small one, as a treat.

Go play out back, have fun.

Well… The species will probably survive, as will a plethora of other species on the planet.

The things that definitely won’t survive are modern society and it’s status quo.

Nobody wants a nuclear war. I think we can all agree that it would be bad for an uncountable number of reasons.

Well, I could have gone into detail about their scientific and industrial value, but those aren’t what massively inflates their perceived importance and price.

Cool, I can burn it to ash with the tools in my garage.

Diamonds are shiny/glittery and hard, that’s about it.

I always confront those people with “and what do you think would happen to YOU in such a place? History doesn’t think it will be good” but then they double down or make some mental gymnastic leap to why it’s okay.

Surely the leopards won’t eat THEIR face.

If all the joint chiefs and secretaries of [thing] said “we will be marching in Ottowa in 3 days” it really doesn’t matter if the president said it. Because even if he hasn’t said it in a press conference to the world, he most certainly agrees with the people who DO think it’s a slam dunk.

I’m sure anything you said or linked would have been met with “that’s western propaganda” like they’re not shaking hands with MAGAts screeching fake news at things they don’t like.

I can’t imagine wanting a wet sentence…

Perfectly put.

Everyone knows a popular book series.

Not everyone knows, or even cares about the author.

Exterminatus, brother Sister

The Emperor Protects

Never heard of it before, but now I know what I’m doing this evening.

Maybe, but I’m not holding my breath.

The one who originally had the HP books came out a few years ago and her mother disowned her.

Her dad doesn’t seem to care as long as she’s happy, but he is standing by his wife’s shitty decision. I can only hope he’s trying to talk sense into her behind the scenes instead of being totally hands-off.

They joke, but I legitimately know people whose parents were the super Christian “any book about controversial topics is the devil and so are video games and TV” to the point where when she found out her daughter had Harry potter book, she burned every book of hers that wasn’t directly religious.

Well guess who decided to “give them a try” since “the author clearly has the right ideas about life” since all her children are out of the house and the only ones who bother visiting are the two with kids (who would never admit it but they’re only there for free babysitting and future help) and one who just doubled down into the religion despite witnessing the same bullshit as her siblings…

So yeah, this may have been intended as a joke, but they’re closer to the truth than they might know.

If you throw it sooper dooper hard, you might split some atoms and repel a lot of things.

I’ve heard the argument of “dozens of wild hogs” in relation to firearms so many times, I thought it was going to end with some kind of quip about “high-capacity magazines”

But you might be on to something here.

Can we look into limited release programs for wild hogs onto billionaires properties? all of them?

All I’ve seen in response is “hurr wouldn’t happen without US military industrial complex”

I’ve been missing that one.

Which just tells me you’re right, no response to this so they default back to old rhetoric.

So my nephew was talking mad shit the other day about gymnastics and how it’s “not a sport” and it’s “for weak girls”.

I asked him “If it’s so easy, why don’t you go do a couple flips and prove how easy it is?”

His sister answered saying “Last time he tried that he broke his foot!” and started laughing.

My nephew immediately glared at us and started crying.

Russia acts like my 10 year old nephew.

Oof. I feel that.

My first foray into any gaming was Alpha Centauri. Had no idea what to do and my dad is shit at explaining anything. To this day I cannot stand the series or even turn-based strategy games.

I think my first online experience was Left for Dead, and a teammate startled a witch within 30 seconds of starting the very first level. Instant hatred of witches and actively tried to dissuade people from messing with them.

Nowadays I toss a pipe bomb ahead of myself while pumping away with my shotgun and half the time I down them before they can stand up fully. Mostly so I can traumatize my friends who are still on the hate train.

Slightly related, I found out that unless you check the “limit superweapons” box in Generals, your opponent will likely just spam a shitload of superweapons, so it won’t matter that they suck at strategy, because they can just wait 5 minutes, click 20 times and have your entire base leveled.
