Mmmm. That’s some good Woke-a-Cola. Tastes just like strawman and hyperbole, uncut by nuance.

My dad dealt with a lot of racism growing up and while I’ve had an easier time of it, I’ve got my share of problems too. I just get tired of my people getting treated like fragile porcelain by white dudes who want to feel woke. The word savage isn’t gonna hurt us. Institutionalized racism hurts us. Police hurt us.…

What an incredibly disingenuous take on what I was saying and how incredibly naive to think a words meaning and context can’t change over time or isn’t inherently tied to how the person is using it in their language.

Man, I certainly appreciate that there are other perspectives out there than my own, but as someone who likes to think they’re incredibly sympathetic (empathetic when I can be), shit like this drives me absolutely nuts.

Harriot is a realist, people. And all people are flawed. All we need to know is how you’re flawed so that we know how to deal with you and your flaws that affect others. And that there must be no criticism of public figures is hogwash, especially in politics. Don’t like it? Tune it out.

I’m currently only halfway through the visual novel, but by the end of the first chapter I was already kicking myself for having ignored the series for long. It really is fantastic. And while I want to watch the existing anime (after I finish the VN, of course), I know it’s not exactly perfect. I’m really interested…

Who on his sane mind adds online capabilities to a game engine that every game made with it has to be fixed by modders? 

It’s almost like trying to build an MMO on top of a single-player engine is a terrible idea.

Agree to disagree. I dislike dexit, but it’s far from the worst problem this game has.

A million times this

This is a bad take. It’s cool that you’re pumped to see Jolteon and Hitmonlee and Rhydon roaming around the wild area. It is equally cool for someone to be upset that they don’t see Bulbasaur, Squirtle, or Beedrill roaming around. I see a lot of these pieces that are framed like “Well you would never catch all 900+…

Kind of extremely over this regular exchange between nerds and nerd media.

Counterpoint. No.

STOP NOT LIKING THINGS THAT I LIKE

I am in in total disbelief that the main criticism being levelled here is that it’s not written by Charlie Kaufman.

I’ll have you know I’m a full-grown adult who needs his full-grown adult diaper changed.

“ In other news , Rudd TV series not bad , but not as good as hypothetical one that doesnt exist.

Kudos on the cameo spoiler. Any others you want to get out there as long as we’re here?
