I used to think along the lines of the Churchill quote of “Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.” Turns out that was giving us way too much credit.

So, let’s just do nothing about guns? Just give up and let public shootings happen as an unavoidable fact of life, but only for the U.S?

Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Uvalde, Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, Orlando, Virginia Tech (handguns, but guns are guns), I could go on, all purchased their weapons specifically for the purposes of what they did with them. The people you are talking about tend to be the most responsible and respectable owners of guns, statistically. City folk with a history of mental instability and their freshly purchased assault weapons are overwhelmingly the problem, not people that were raised around guns used for hunting animals and taught to respect and safety use them from the time they could hold one.

21 Grams. Benicio Del Toro.

Holy shit, people are more aware of things relevant to the time they live in and the things they actively take part in than things from literally hundreds of years ago that are difficult to establish as relevant in a modern society because it has no tangible relevance to the current era?! THE CHILDREN ARE DAMNED!

Seriously, is there anything more to these lines of thought than a fear of being outdated?

Definitely Cave Johnson. The tone is disregarding and corporate, GLaDOS would have been insulting and condescending.

America is fucked, then.

People want fascists dead, we just despise conservatives. Are you implying that all conservatives are fascists, do you feel conservatism requires fascist values? Do you really think you’re a conservative and not a fascist?

If you do a holocaust then you’re not one of the good guys. It’s pretty simple.

Titan A.E. Is a masterpiece.

And people are allowed to think you’re stupid for directing your anger like a stupid person.

Came to say this same thing, Call of Cthulhu 1981 is a blast, the most fun I’ve had with a TTRPG.

Slow elevators make me want to murder.

We know.

“Who would win, me or an Austrian with plot armor and a hyper myostatin disorder that makes them naturally huge?”

“I mean, the Austrian, obviously. Don’t they usually travel in packs?”

“I don’t know, man, I’m built different. Plus I just got that new load out from space cabellas’s that makes me invisible and shit. I’m not saying it would be easy, but I could do it, I just know I could.”

“Sir, this is a space Wendy’s.”

“Alright, what if it’s normal non-Austrians, like a tribe of some sort? Hear me out…”

So far I’ve just kind of been randomly acquiring things based on what looks cool to me in the moment

This is what I do, hasn’t done me wrong. If 82 dudes with jump packs is wrong then I don’t give a fuck what’s right.

Not too familiar with orks, but gretchin look to be a good add for some objective capturing and blocking fodder, maybe grab something to hold your home objective. All depends on if you’re looking to capture points and grab mission objectives, or if you’re looking to play accurate to the lore and just drown your opponents in the WAAAAAAAAGH! There are no wrong answers.

This is why I could not get through Xenocide. I absolutely loved Ender’s Game and Speaker For The Dead, two of the all time greatest, but xenocide was so flawed I just couldn’t keep going with the series. Also, fuck Orson Scott Card in general.

Don’t bring religion into this.

If parents don’t want their kids around drag shows that’s fine, don’t take their kids to drag shows. If they don’t want any kids at all to ever be exposed to drag performers then they need to mind their own damned business.

Drag performers are entertainers, not sex workers, the performances run the gambit from burlesque down to just karaoke and show tunes, just because they aren’t strictly child entertainers and that some drag shows aren’t appropriate for children it doesn’t mean there is no such thing as child appropriate drag shows. People make adult oriented entertainment with puppets and cartoons, that doesn’t mean every form of entertainment involving puppets or cartoons is inappropriate for children. I remember going to one of those drag restaurants a few times as a kid where they do song performances and stay in character while they serve you and take your orders, it was a blast.

It’s always the people you most expect.
