So assault weapons are scary and, in addition to the very real damage they do, they damage the mental health of America.

I agree but it’s hard to argue with it since it is so common sense. I will take a baby step over no step.

While I understand that this needs to be done and it will make the GOP seem evil when they oppose it, but after whatever is passed they need to go on a Jon Stewart like all out media blitz to make McConnell actually take up the bill and vote on it. Otherwise, it will just be added to the toilet paper that McConnell…

Everyone thinks Monster Hunter is a game about swinging a comically large sword to a weird dinosaur’s face. And it certainly is a game about that, but first and foremost, it’s a game about puns. (50% of those being cat-puns.)

I’d go one step further. Every gun should be firing at all times. That’s the only way to be sure!

The evolution of the Boomers is a fascinating subject. A couple of thoughts (among many others): A) we overestimate how many were out in street chanting anti-war slogans. Most Boomers just went on about their normal, rascist-adjacent American lives during that time period. We’ve just never heard much about them…

People wanting concealed carry has always confused me - if the goal is to dissuade potential shooters by forcing them to assume anyone could be armed, wouldn’t open carry accomplish that better, since then they’d know?  But then they’d know who to shoot first, and oh now I get it - the concealed carry people don’t…

I’d generally agree, but there are some commenters around here who are just here to flame. I guess on balance Publius isn’t one of those, but man, if we need someone around here to come in and post something regressive using Ben Shapiro-grade ‘intellect’, Publius has got our backs.

I think that’s a valid question and it’s always a tricky balancing act. Whenever I’m covering a story like this I always ask myself what I’d want to know about the contents of the letter without publishing the entire thing.

Honestly, Squall’s character growth is the best part of this game (unless you’re more into batshit anime plotlines and twists, then that’s on another level). I really hope that this remaster helps to rehab this game’s image. Yes, it’s a game that’s entire battle system can be twisted and broken on a whim, not…

His attempt at rehabbing his image shows his slimy ass for what it is. The motivation for this suddenly aggressive campaign even more so.

If he’s better in the written word, he’d be better as an author than a president. Maybe he should give that one some thought.

All of the people saying that the competition needs to just “make better movies” just feeds into the false narrative that capitalism is somehow a meritocracy that rewards only the best, and ignores or excuses Disney’s blatant monopolistic practices that are specifically designed to eliminate competition, not through…

Especially when you consider that the function of institutional racism has always been to maintain the upwards distribution of wealth and power for the people who are already rich and powerful.

It helped that Disney and their competitors basically cleared the slate this summer so Avengers, Spider-Man, and Lion King could basically run unopposed for Box office supremacy.  I also just remembered Toy Story whatever came out this summer and I had already blocked it out, the only real movie that came out to…

Once again, I’d love a Mega Man movie if it was just an adaptation of the Protomen’s albums:

I normally try to resist the lowest roads, but I want to hurt that man.

Yep.

Terrorists always end up using human shields.

Yes. No jokes here, just agreement.
