I wish for Bryan Caplan to live in Haiti for a year with no resources.

(For those that don't know, Bryan Caplan is a big proponent of the entire idea of 'unlimited immigration while abolishing the welfare state'. I'm not sure if he's the first to come up with it, but...)

If I was being very uncharitable, I'd assume something like 'White Chad refuses to fuck me, so I'm going to ruin everything he loves.'

He wasn't. They were shopping around a fair bit for VP choices and several Democrats basically told them 'Nope' publicly, to their face.

Yup. I read that article a long time ago, and it's stuck in my head ever since.

The mad scientist in me salivates at the notion of forcing a large group of male democrats on t-supplements and watching the result. It would likely be hilarious.

You haven't heard about the latest Warhammer-affiliated reddit bullshit, I see.

Yes, they will literally defend that.

Huh. It's always weird(but interesting) to see women who realize that women shouldn't be involved in politics.

I never played Fantasy, but given what I've seen people say, Warhammer Fantasy was a Tabletop Wargamer's Wargame with all that implied.

Given that they decided to nuke all that in the most brutal and ignoble way possible, and replace it with a game that was damn-near unplayable until something like 3 editions in, while alienating all thier old players - well, what the fuck did they think was going to happen?

Daily reminder that despite their twitter and codex virtue-signaling for good-boy points, there's no plans to release updated Custodes models or special heads for the so-called 'female' Custodes.

These people ruin everything they touch.

There's a disturbingly large number of men who are still stuck on a combo of 'Women are wonderful', simping, and... Hmmm. Not sure how to phrase it. Paternalism? They adopt a sort of unconscious, subliminal assumption that all women are just poor, poor meek little things that need men's help, and so bend over backwards to accommodate them - through law, through hiring decisions, though constant deference and not acknowledging the privilege women have.

It's why you get that twisted united front of feminism and evangelical Christian types, as you say.

You end up loosing alot less squad members in the original X Com if you take the scorched earth approach.

Set things on fire. Blow up buildings. Thrown grenades and high explosives work great. Breech and clear? Pfft, fuck that - blow up the walls and watch as sectoids pass out from smoke inhalation. Massive fields of wheat in a night mission on a farm? It's not a night mission anymore if everything is on fire! Sectoids holed up in thier ship? Set up a crossfire of 8 guys and just wait patiently under cover. They'll come out. They always come out.

Man, now I want to go play the original X Com again.

I blame Bioshock Infinite.

It was the first game I ever stumbled across where the actual story got in the way of gameplay, and quickly revealed just how much of an on-the-rails shooter it was compared to it's previous incarnations.

You should do an AMA, so I can nag you with questions about it.

Unironically this.

Come to think, I wonder what the likely result of forcing male autists to go on T supplements would result in.

Democracy might be alot more appealing if the system we currently have in place actually listened when the will of the people spoke.

Instead we have a set of so-called 'elites' who think they know better.

I've hammered this before, but I'll do it again; The gay marriage vote failed in California. California. It only got on the books due to legislation from the bench. Unchecked immigration is universally unpopular, and yet...

Before we get back to disenfranchisement and a better constitutional republic, we'd best deal with said 'elites' so they don't get in the way.

Women as a whole hate pretty women.

You never get a better reality check than watching a group of already present (older)women react to another woman that's anywhere near attractive. It's disturbingly eye-opening.

US armed forces overall are having a recruitment issue, period.

Turns out that the majority of armed forces recruits were family generational, and they began actively discouraging those individuals from joining, expecting for women and diversity hires to take up the slack.

Whoops. Whoopsie!

The only annoyance I get from those fucking memes is how they're misusing them.

If you're going to try and insult me, at least get it right.

KOTOR 1 was a perfect example of taking Star Wars and simultaneously writing a story that took the winning combo and give it it's own unique twist with enough creativity to actually keep it fresh and unique.

KOTOR2 was a perfect example of taking Star Wars, turning the entire thing on it's head, and forcing you to think about the full implications thereof without actually hating any of it.

Disney could never manage either of those.

It's pretty easy to loose money when you fuck with a winning combo without having the intelligence and skill to replace it with something interesting and thought-provoking.

You're going to be very pleasantly surprised when you hit the series of episodes that go into how the media manipulate and control perception and reality. Sadly, they're interspaced out over several seasons...

The vote for gay marriage failed in California.

Fucking California.

It's not popular. It's never been popular. It's always been forced from the top down by people who have names and addresses.

William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy both are/were jewish.

So I guess Star Trek tourists are anti-semitic, now. Sounds about right.

I've seen some people bitch in video essays about the lack of black Vtubers.

It's always interesting to see the lack of instrospection, because they never ask why. Vtubers are probably the closest thing we can get to pure, unfiltered democracy of an educated set(for a given value of educated), and we see what they pick - interesting personalities focused around an entertaining persona and look that caters to their specific niche or interest.

Not once does it occur to these racial shills that - guess what, being black by itself just isn't that interesting.

Also, I get the impression that these people don't realize what being a minority implies. Or just how much of a minority they actually are. Funny what happens when you strip off the hollywood propaganda.

I hope not, and I don't want them too.

Keep it niche. Normies get the fuck out, and stay the fuck out.
