You’re not a bad person just because you like dark humor or shitposting.

This is absolutely true.

Why do I need to be better? I don’t give 2 shits about virtue signalling. I don’t have to convince the world that I’m a good person, I know my own virtues and I know that I am; so I’m allowed to joke about horrific shit all the fuck I want.

This is the part that makes you a bad person no one wants to be around.

I had a pen like that when I was very young, had to be maybe in the 5th grade. It exploded on me because I chewed on the end of it while thinking. Parts of my homework desk remained blue until I graduated high school, I’m lucky my teeth didn’t also.

Lex Luthor is downright benevolent compared to what we have in the real world

My favorite variation on this I ever heard came from one of my coworkers a few jobs ago. I forget the exact context, but:

“Hey [Name], can you get this done?”

“Can the Pope’s dick fit through a donut?”

“…I don’t know?”

“Exactly 😎👉”

A cooperative, wide scale Erebus manhunt could bring peace to the 41st millennium

From the party who brought you “Keep your politics out of my [X]” it’s incredible how much time and effort they put into forcing politics into every fucking thing. Can’t play a video game, can’t watch YouTube, can’t watch the actual TV, can’t listen to a podcast, can’t even walk my dog down the goddamn street in my own neighborhood without being slapped upside the head six times with Reich-wing bullshit.

I stay defending the weird genius of Yoko Taro’s art to my brother and I stay being vindicated about this

They’re banking on that happening so they can cry terrorism and swing emergency powers into full effect in response. Then they won’t even have to detain you they can just shoot you on the spot. They’re soft rolling the ethnic cleansing right now but if people start fighting back against it they’ll probably stomp the accelerator on it.

You should try having nothing else better to distract you for 12-15 years. With no books, no TV, and no internet, if you need to figure out how to build a forge, you’d figure it out eventually. Through sheer boredom if nothing else.

For what it’s worth, Wrath of the Righteous is much better than Kingmaker in basically all regards.

If you just hate Pathfinder 1e then there’s not really any saving that, but if your main gripe with Kingmaker was the story and quest design, WOTR significantly raised the bar there in my opinion.

Similarly, when I tried to learn to play using a mute, it sounded like absolute dogshit because the mute changes a ton about how the instrument sounds and feels to play. You’re going to sound (and probably be) off key and the lung pressure feels different because you’re blocking part of the air flow out of the instrument. It requires a technique adjustment to sound right.

A fair and valid point.

Buy two and bury one of them.

Buy now and bury them

But no gay sex though, that’s strictly not allowed.

He’s been trying to deport the Native Americans, I’m sure he’ll try.

No I was absolutely being a angry dickhead and that’s totally fair. Those are my true feelings though, and to my best judgment logical ones. What do you do when you are faced with a person you can’t reason with? Historically speaking, the only real way to deal with it is to imprison them or kill them. I don’t want us to get to that state. I just feel like we’re being driven towards it. I find the world that we exist in now to be utterly absurd with these sorts of people at the wheel and I will no longer tolerate those who support them. We’re bringing punching Nazis back.

Time Magazine Person of the Year is for the most influential person of the year. Not the best, or most admirable. Merely the greatest agent of change.

Hi, fellow American here. You seem to need to understand some things, so I’m here to educate you.

We’ve been gently coddling the conservatives into being better for decades. Their response to this is to laugh at you and then double down on whatever horrible shit they’ve decided is their culture war target today. Gentle reminders that they’re actively working toward the destruction of society does nothing to them. In many cases it actively galvanizes them even more toward their opinions.

So I’m fucking done coddling. Some of my friends and my family are going to die because of things they’ve gleefully voted for and then tried to throw in my face after. My nation is in flames because of what they’ve done. The entire world is falling to authoritarian fascism because of what they’ve done.

So fuck 'em. If you’re a horrid piece of shit then I’m going to tell you that you’re a horrid piece of shit. You have the option to change your ways or go fuck off and die, doesn’t matter one bit to me. But I’m sick and tired of trying to meet someone halfway when their “halfway” is “well maybe we only exterminate half of the blacks and gays and we can just enslave the rest of them?”

In short: Every single conservative “republican” that still idenitifes as such in the modern day is a piece of shit scum human being, who is directly responsible for the hellhole we find ourselves in, and if they know what’s good for them they better be afraid to show their face around me and mine. I’m tired of trying to “play nice” with oppressors. I now flat refuse to put up with their existence. These people have threatened the life and livelihood of my family and others close to me that I love and care about, continue to do so, and show not only a lack of empathy but a sick, gleeful, sadistic joy in the idea that my mother can no longer get her medications or that school children will kill themselves or their peers. I’m tired of subsidizing their idiocy and trying to claw progress out of their hateful, regressive policies. I’m tired of having to explain to people why all persons should have equal rights. I’m tired of feeling threatened in public areas by skinheaded fucks with assault rifles. I’m tired of worrying for my partner’s safety when they leave for work.

Conservatives have, to date, done nothing whatsoever of benefit to anyone but themselves, ever, and I’m tired of having to act like they are rational actors. They are not. They are greedy, spiteful, selfish fucks, they do not have reasonable viewpoints, and I’m tired of having to act like they do. You should be too. The gentle coddling of such ridiculous viewpoints because “all opinions matter!” has directly led us to our two-party travesty and the casual ignoring of all norms or laws by Trump and Co. These people need to be told when their opinions are stupid and wrong and we’ve been very, very long overdue in doing that. Failure to do so leads to - drumroll - take a look around outside.

So yeah. Our Canadian friend here is right. The anger is very long overdue. Fact is, conservatives are untrustworthy and worthless and I don’t actually care if telling them that helps them or not. We’ve tried to help them, repeatedly, and been pushed away and ridiculed for it time and time again. So it’s time to speak a language that they understand.

They’ve freely admitted to it like four times now, just nobody wants to deal with the gigantic clusterfuck that will come from investigating that and finding the truth. So instead they do nothing and act like nothing is wrong.

Modern democrats are operating under the assumption of “if I shut my eyes hard enough then this will cease to exist”
