To be quite honest “moderate” these days does tend to mean republican-lite when you actually ask about policies. That has to do with a lot of things (like Dems also moving right to find “common ground” (despite repub fearmongering about Biden being a socialist LMFAO) but the GOP is currently SOOOOOO far right that to…

I’d bet childless cat ladies are some of the least miserable people in this country but that’s me speaking anecdotally as a happy childless cat lady

I am beginning to think that Madison Cawthorne is right about ONE thing: Republicans do a lot of cocaine..... because all the crazy nonsense they talk about sounds like the shit my friend used to say when he was all coked up. I’m not wrong: a global cabal of child molesters who control what you eat, distribute porn,…

The culture warification of everything led us to this deeply stupid end. The right wing weirdos have been waiting for anything to lead a backlash against women who speak out about abuse. The Depp stans are useful idiots for the right wing MRA anger that women are being listened to in any way. 

That’s OK. We had a good run. I have to admit that I’m a little sad to see us go, but we weren’t terribly efficient. At 50% of our (straight people) marriages ending in divorce, you really can’t say it’s been an unmitigated success when the outcome is an even toss-up. Maybe non-straight marriages have a better success…

To quote my uncle..... “She’s got just enough sass mixed with just enough sweetness to get things done in Congress”.

I heard they grow ‘the gays’ in peach tree dishes. 

I feel like this is missing the big white nationalist elephant in the room. White parents have spent the past 2 years fearmongering about critical race theory and banning anything from public discourse that makes their white kids “feel bad,” even as their precious children target black people for their genocidal…

Why the fuck is anyone celebrating an era of unchecked wealth accumulation by a fraction of society, intense poverty for the rest of us, middle class moralizing, racism and massive voter inequity and sexism? Fuck this shit.  WE’RE ALREADY RELIVING IT FFS

I have a copy of the Baycon ‘86 anime convention program, which was written by future Studio Proteus founder Toren Smith; sadly, I wasn’t able to go cross-country myself, but I bought the program from a woman whose son went back then.

Good. I hope this is the beginning of the end of this NFT nonsense.

it might appear worthless at first glance, until you think about the secondary market of providing fodder for blog posts for sites trying to fill out their quota

That, and he’s probably been told to diversify away from oil, as they know the oil industry won’t last forever.

I don’t even know that he is as insane as some of the other princes over there.  That whole extended clan has some issues.  I also agree with you that he’s not doing it to soften his image.  SNK is a shiny toy to him.

I know you’re joking but that legitimately seems to be the case. If he was actually looking to diversify the Saudi economy, it would probably make more sense to buy a larger company in some distress, like Ubisoft, and relocate their operations to Saudi Arabia and friendly nations.

As much as I think MBS is a grave geopolitical problem, and, to be entirely honest, at bare minimum unmoored from reality due to his privilege to a frightening degree and quite possibly insane, I don’t think there’s a nefarious purpose to buying SNK. I don’t think he even did it to soften his image. Dude’s a gamer. He…

Between this and the WWE deal, dude is clearly trying to relive the height of the 90s.

Kink shame much?  You should really do a little research into the BDSM lifestyle.  In consensual relationships rules and boundaries are clearly discussed and continuously maintained.  BDSM isn’t the badguy here.  Manson is. 

My first anime con was 1993 Anime America. Got off the elevator to register, didn’t know where to go and saw I cosplayer and thought they could point me in the right direction. Then I realized he was cosplaying as Ryoga from Ranma. Found it on my own.
