  • He's low key got the Charlie Kirk, 'face to small for head "thing going on

  • Also, as an aside, there's an old book on Wicca from the 70s called A Witch's Bible by Janet and Stewart Farrar, which at one point encourages readers to study Marxism and Dialectical Materialism, because the underlying spiritual philosophy of witchcraft is very dialectical. And I think that's pretty cool

  • The notion that human beings are separate and apart from the natural world is colonialist nonsense.

  • And the Supreme Court stepped in to hand the election to Bush. And Liberals just let it happen, because "Muh Institutions! Much Decorum!"

  • If you're not wedded to an e-ink display, I bought a cheap android tablet for about $50, and set it to auto run an e-reader app called Moon+ Reader. You'll have to fork over a couple bucks for the ad free version, but it's a solid piece of software.

  • Hell yeah! My local book store cat Is named Spooky, because he was found in a cemetery

  • I was listening to a podcast yesterday, and the two hosts, who have both written books, made a brief aside complaining about people pirating their books.

    And I think they were failing to understand that, if I pirate your book and I really like it... I'll probably go out and buy a physical copy for myself. Or vice vera. I bought your book, but I want it on my ereader. Pirate it.

    It's no different from the sales "lost" when people freely check out a book from the library. In fact, it will increase exposure to your book.

    Lots of people have become incredibly successful, because their art got known through piracy networks. Think Metallica playing stadiums off the back of tape trading.

    We talk all the time about how "piracy is media preservation" which is true, but it's also a form of media discovery, and I think we should talk about that more.

  • Given the fact that 80% of Subway employees I've encountered have been high as fuck, that doesn't surprise me

  • If I may, it's less a matter of anyone consciously "rigging elections against third parties" and more a matter of the fact that the electoral system itself naturally trends towards a two party system. It's called Duverger's law.

  • These are the same freaks who screech about "realism" when there's a woman in a game they don't think should gave women.

  • I think it depends. Something realistic? I'd want ps3/ps4 level graphics. But for fucking Mario? That cartoony little shit does not have any reason having graphics at all superior to the fucking GameCube.

  • Yeah, like I've got a batocera emulation setup, and I have a bunch of old flash games I played as a kid on there, as a curiosity. But I hardly touch them.

    The only one with substance that I occasionally go back to is this one puzzle game with little Viking guys trapped in ice, and you have to free them. It's a cute little time waster, but that's about it.

  • Nah, I like it. It's like the Wikipedia equivalent to putting someone in the stocks to be publicly humiliated

  • UlyssesT x Dirt_Owl fanfiction, when?

  • Liberals unironically believe this though. They're literally rewriting history! I love/hate reminding them that, no dipshit, Trump winning wasn't a matter of not enough people voting, it was a matter of how deeply ineffectual and anti-democratic the institutions you uphold actually are.

  • As a poli sci major, there are two broad camps of people in the field, when it comes to Marxism.

    First are the people who do shit you're complaining about, where they "refute" Marxism without understanding a Damn thing about it.

    And then there are the people actually doing Marxist analysis. The people actually doing Marxist analysis are mostly comparativists in the subfield of political-economy (Yes, it still exists, just as a sub-field of a sub-field of poli sci).

    And the way these groups interact is the first group nods their heads in agreement with the Marxists. But only so long as it's called "political economy" and not Marxism. The minute you call it Marxism, they start trying to tear it down, even when they were just agreeing with it, five minutes ago.

  • Just started playing a patched English version of Boku No Natsuyasumi 2. For what's basically a chill, summer vacation simulator, I ran into some surprising character depth.

    One of the characters you come across is an older girl named Yasuko. She lives with her little sister and grandpa, because her parents "aren't in the picture".

    Her bedroom can't be accessed from within the house, because the door is locked. Her mom "took the key when she left". So you have to go around to the back of the house to get to it.

    The room itself is full of books, records, and paintings that belonged to her dad. So there's a lot going on with this one character, and now I wanna know what her deal is!

    Also, her room is cool as fuck, look at this shit!
