1st and 2nd gear are inextricably linked. We are now in the downswing of the Silicon Valley bubble, a bubble that bozo venture capitalists and techbros swore would never pop. Meanwhile, anyone with a brain could see that these companies’ grand plans were all impossible in the short to medium term.

The 80s and the Reagan revolution really put a stop to all that, and it’s only in more recent years that we’ve gotten back to a point where we’re even acknowledging all of these societal dysfunctions. We’ll see if it lasts…

“...2020 was a year of broad societal change that brought past conduct to our attention...”

He sounds like all of my neighbors (I live in Arizona.) I lost my anti vaxx mother who I haven’t talked to in two decades because she turned into a white supremacist and a close friend last year to covid. I mentioned it to my anti vax neighbor who then told me that science is just propaganda as I'm telling him my…

In my over 30 years as a gamer(video and table top), I will say the one “group” of gamers that is almost always infested with MRA fascist asshole, in my experience, is anyone really into Ancient Rome and gladiators. Not everyone who likes that stuff but it just seems like more in that group then any other, even…

“Local Fisher Catches Apes on Open Sea”

Meanwhile, the rest of us in normal income society, with mental health issues, brain trauma, and or complicated grieving issues are expected to act like adults, and face consequences for our actions.

that’s a technicality man. did he get released cause he didn’t actually rape people? NO. Was he released based on procedural issues? YES. That’s a technicality. The man is guiltier than sin and should be tossed into the ocean far from land.

“But how could they have known before this exact date in 2014?!” concern-trolling sounds much better than “who cares, gimme my Blizzard game”.

What you described is...a technicality. He wasn’t released because he is innocent, he was released over procedural fuckery. AKA...technicalities.

It isn’t that “there is no middle ground.”

It is that we have tried occupying the middle ground for too long, and that option has been taken away, by the extremism of those who just want to flagrantly abuse people.

The time for “standing in the middle ground” is over. I am afraid that the elements of society which wish…

He's a convicted rapist who got out on technicality, so go fuck yourself you piece of shit.

...and all of that has nothing to do with whether he was guilty or innocent of the charges, which is why it’s called a ‘technicality.’ He was ‘technically’ not guilty, not ‘actually’ not guilty.

While this is accurate, he admitted, under oath, to the underlying conduct (drugging and raping women).

He was convicted, and it was overruled for a reason that had nothing to do with his guilt. It was a technicality.

WoW is putting it lightly.

Remember kids: when Immortan Joe turns on the water for a brief moment, crowd around and catch as much of it as you can, and raise not your fist, nor voice, nor eye to his magnanimous form, for your very existence in this sand-blasted hellscape teeters precariously upon his whim. Rejoice and dance in his favor, or…

This ones easy. Find out where relatives of Gamestop execs are buried and do the dance on their actual graves and send it in. Bonus points if you get a fake headstone with the still living execs names on it in the background.

Ernest Borgnine, of all people, has lunch once with some people, one of whom brought Seagal as a guest. Said he was the most arrogant, pig-ignorant oaf he had ever met, and this is Borgnine after fifty years in Hollywood. If I can find links to the interview I'll post .
