Ser. Bigboote-Wiggums, turn in your badge. You’ve destroyed the timeline!

Honestly, it reminds me of a recent scene from HBO’s Lovecraft Country, where a white character performatively has themselves murdered like Emmett Till “to understand,” only to emerge unscathed from the water of the river moments later still totally invincible to the reality they just “tried on.”

There are a lot of…

Lol. It was a solid multiplayer experience, for sure. Very Horde mode from Gears of War with a Mass Effect flavoring (all good things).

I just never wanted that. And you had to play it to get the best endings of the game. It was forced human interaction, and I get enough of that at work. Just let me play my RPG…

Oh man, I must have blocked out DA:I running like warm shit on my OG console, but suddenly I’m remembering that being the last straw between me and Bioware.

CDPR has, effectively, struck out. They’ll stay in the game, and I hope they No Man’s Sky the shit out of their game, because the writers deserve the airtime.

I…

I’d say diminishing the discussion around the dissolution of chain of command norms while calling for the actual death of your foes is a “short con” for foreign troll accounts.
Flynn did call for the death of his political opponents, right?
Trump did replace ranking Pentagon officials with lapdogs, right?

Any attempt…

This. It gets players from both platforms looking at what they can’t have. Everybody wins when advertising the other guy’s biggest sellers.

But mostly Fortnite wins, because regardless of your console, you’re shelling out cash for skins. 

These threats need to be prosecuted. Now.
Stochastic Bio-Terrorist in Chief needs to be called out.

Actually that’s pretty much the same argument.

Smoking = big business, even if it is evil.
Same for alcohol. The common denominator is that someone can make a buck off it.

We are a Capitalist Republic. Not the other way around. If you can make money doing it, and are the right class and color, the US government will ma…

Image taken down for legal reasons. Going to save this article for myself before it goes too.

RIP Gawker. RIP Splinter. 

Yeah, actual English teacher here with all kinds of opinions about language.

The only good take on language is that it is function OVER form 100% of the time.

If there’s a linguistic twist that you don’t like, but that everyone does or uses, you are in the wrong. Languages grow.
It’s how we’re posting on kinja about…

This is a great counterpoint.

If Racism where solely a net negative, it would have been eradicated a long time ago. As it currently stands, it feeds in-group bias and creates a mandate for a whole host different groups, some formally racist (Pride Boys and White Supremes), some informally racist (The GOP and NIMBY Trum…

My Catholic in-laws now have made the impressive feat of backing Trump and #notmypope-ing the actual fucking pope.

Like. Got dayumn.

Hey guys.

I’m not sure that Tommy is actually a Commie.

Why would a government willingly poison it’s citizen and spend by now billions to rectify things? It’s counterproductive. If you wanted to kill a community or portion of the population, you certainly wouldn’t have drug enforcement.

Discredited is a weird way to spell assassinated. 

Somebody should go find Gary Webb and ask him to speak on this topic. He seems like he’d know a lot about it.

Oh.

Right.

“It’s a dick-swinging caricature without an ounce of irony that might make even the National Review blush.”

Somewhere, the ghost of William Buckley Jr. is laughing along with us.

He’d be disgusted by the current obvious racism, when we could have sneaky racism instead.  

I mean, I agree to a point.

But I feel like there’s room (at least for a Root article on the topic) to discuss how the irony isn’t irony. It’s weaponized linguistic stockholm syndrome.

They are getting their people used to the language of oppression and victimization, so when they go on the offensive and the left…

Well said

After all this time. I don’t see it as irony any longer.

It’s intentional use of the language that they will be called out with.

See, calling Antifa “the real Fascists” or claiming that Liberals want to “silence our voices.” While actively working to silence the voices of dissent through intimidation (silencing) and…
