The current minimum wage is about $8 an hour. If the minimum wage had grown at the same rate as inflation, it would be over $20 an hour. But the same people who complain about taxes and paying for the poors, refuse to pay people for the work they do. Whenever I hear these types claiming to be Christians, I really get…

Being from inside the US, it’s objectively terrifying that we have a man like that in charge.

My biggest hope here is for the scuzbag from Argentina being deported!

The difference here is that Handmaid’s fictional reality doesn’t really have a concise basis that’s adhered to anything precedent in our reality. It’s a fictionalized society that’s taken bits and pieces of elements from history and mashed them together into a package which offers biting and brutal commentary on a…

We still live in a world were people still celebrate and romanticize the antebellum south. The confederacy and their actions aren’t something that is universally abhorred throughout the country like Nazi-ism is in Germany. You can still VERY EASILY purchase confederate flags in stores etc. People are still living with…

People are easily swayed by media. To ignore this is to ignore history. Hell the entire foundation of propaganda starts with film and literature designed from the outset to glamorize and package idea’s into neater and more desirable capsules for consumption.

You can jump to the “ur sensuring muh arte” argument all you…

The Twilight Zone, Star Trek, Star Wars, and even A Handmaid’s Tale and Man in the High Castle address those issues in abstract. Often, there is a fictional scenario, alien race, or otherworldly plot twist that allows them to analyze and comment on real-world issues while clearly staying in the realm of fiction.

The problem with this show in particular which separates it from the biting social commentary of classic science fiction stories in the past is that it would do more to glamorize the confederacy and the lifestyle it sought to perpetuate rather than rebuke it in any meaningful way. This would further embolden the alt…

Going to try and get ahead of some of the backlash to this by very strongly suggesting that everyone:

I always thought these new Ape movies were a reboot and not supposed to be prequels to the original. I’ve enjoyed the new series and hope they continue it with a new continuity. Basically remake the originals but with a more modern twist that fits the current timeline and narrative.

Ha, play on my 3DS while doing cardio on a stationary bike :P

Yeah this article seems to come from the angle that gaming is like some kind of dessert of life and too much is bad for you/needs to be offset with good habits. For a lot of people it’s the same as consuming television, movies, a play, a social event, a sporting event, a hobby, reading a good novel etc. It’s not a…

When those people we don’t like enact draconian policies designed to terrorize minority populations? Yeah, pretty much. Thanks for reading!

I intend to be ALL the dicks about this.

Agreed. I have very little to no sympathy for these people. Someone over on Fusion’s article on this said they’d much rather see it be GOP politicians gunned down than innocent elementary school students and that’s pretty much my thought as well. Let some people who have helped commit legislative atrocities get gunned…

Okay, you got me! I’m being a dick. I’m okay with it.

About 60% of the military will always vote Republican because they blindly consider them the more pro-military party. Democrats usually bring about draw downs and less defense spending so they see that as voting against their own interests. Many don’t give a rats ass about the candidate and as a independent guy who…

it’s just a picture of legs that cuts to an image of a man standing in a burning house and he has a goat head and his eyes are the black of the void and then it cuts back to an image of legs with paint on them and then it’s the goat headed man and he’s closer to the foreground and I can smell sulfur and then it cuts…

Also there will be no paper. Ever again!

But at least keep making weirdass mascots.
