sci-fi role-playing game set in a universe where corporations have taken over everything

Sigh, I know exactly how this sounds, but having read an oral history of an old David Roth tweet I actually sort of get it. He presents content a certain way, regardless of the actual content. The SAS algorithm is sound, but the datapoints were outdated

You also have to agree that calling it racist actually makes you the most racistest

Neville Chamberlian is on the editorial board of the Washington Post now?

Now now, what if Clarice Starling hadn’t hired Hannibal Lector as a consultant? I say we let him consult, but he has to do it from a cell. Actually, he should be in a cell either way

It would also raise the stock of any educator who has firearm experience, or is comfortable comfortable handling guns at all

How is arming teachers putting aside ideology? It’s completely unsupported by evidence, and has no buy-in from teachers

Irrational Dork Web?

Honestly, as far as I am concerned Bill Clinton is an economic conservative, and I’m assuming the question about Obama is sarcastic, otherwise I’d point you to the first two years of his term trying to undo the damage that the GOP had done followed by the remaining six of recovery that continue to this day

I see where you’re coming from, and I am definitely not here to defend anyone who dehumanizes anyone through rhetoric. But at the same time, I don’t see a moral equivalence between the two sides so it’s damn near impossible for me to see them as symmetrical. I think as a society we tend to call this split “politics”…

I think you might want to entertain the idea that most of the people here have had these conversations, and this is a collection of genuine takeaways. Look at all the responses in this thread that reference the commenters’ own families, those faces are very real. This isn’t just a bash party, there is genuine pain…

I’ve never gotten over the fact that 16 year olds are only allowed to get jobs. They could have had over a decade of experience at the glass factory under their belts by then!

With the election map as favorable as it was and with rural voters as committed to Republicans as they were, the fact that the Republicans were only able to gain two seats is maybe the strongest indictment voters handed down. It’s the same reason Republican presidents have been able to win the presidency despite…

You aren’t in charge though, non-rural voters have soundly rejected Republican leadership as of the last election and given the House to the Dems. Given the fact that 50%+ of the country disapproves of the president already, and we seem to be gearing up for another recession due in part to irresponsible fiscal policy…

We are definitely talking about the same phenomenon here, but I’m not even sure if it’s an inability to be honest as much as it’s an unwavering belief that anyone telling them they’re wrong is either naive or wants to humiliate them. Honestly, I’m not even sure if it’s a conscious thing, they just don’t question the…

Still, it’s fun to get a conservative talking and watch the look on their face slowly change as they realize who’s the one telling the other “how the world really works,” and who’s being irrational.

It’s a weird phenomenon, and it’s a shame to see a Chicago-based publication buy into the shit talk coming from the coast. I’d agree that quality, especially in places that aren’t known for their recipe or tourist traps that are more about delivering a pretty instagram prop to the table, is an issue. But Pequod’s deep-…

But, okay, let’s not lose sight of the fact that a man whose literal catchphrase is “you’re fired” had to outsource the actual act of axing a subordinate to his kids

I never suggested that you did, I was trying to say that level of specificity isn’t as relevant to the situation as the psychological dynamic that was displayed. I know your comments to be generally very thoughtful and I’m not implying malice, but in this particular case I think you missed the forest for the trees

This is domestic violence: it’s not about the game. It could have just as easily been about having dinner on the table, or being too loud, or being too quiet. Ultimately it doesn’t matter except as an excuse to justify keeping the wheel turning and setting up another cycle of trigger/abuse/apology.
