Upvote for "pablum." Great word.
Hah, Imp as F2M would give a whole new dimension to his arguments.
"Women are evil cunts. I know. I have one."
I wish he could have just calmed down with the obessive posting a bit. He was fine to talk to, if repetitive, but it was just too much.
Yeah, absolutely. I should have been more explicit in my dancing on the corpse of the mouse.
I would guess The Little Mermaid truly made money for Disney (and probably more so with Disney+ action), but everything else is an outright loss or at best break even.
This according to Wikipedia.
Little Mermaid. Budget of 240.2 million, box office of 569.6 million.
Indiana Jones DoD. Budget of 295-387m. Box office 384 miilion.
Haunted Mansion. 150m. Box office 117.5 million.
Ant Man. Budget "326.6 million (gross) 276 million (net). Box office 476.1 million.
The Marvels. Budget 219.8m to 274.8m. Box office 206.1 million.
Wish. Budget 175-200m. Box office 254.9m
What a beautfiul sight to see. Little Mermaid was the most succesful of all of these films.
How did we go from the Scottish Enlightenment to this?
Vim is my most used editor by far. It's beautiful.
OTOH, perhaps this will be a redpill moment for many on the other side.
But no, probably not.
This is exactly why nobody takes stormfags seriously. Point out what percentage of Ivy League school presidents are Jewish. Point out what percentage of Biden's cabinet executives are Jewish. Point out what percentage of law school professors and law school deans are Jewish. Great, you've got a point.
But frothing at the mouth over some Irish Catholic northeastern basic bitch, because you can't imagine a good Aryan girl being a loathsome cunt? You just look like an idiot.
That would be a logical failure on your part.
GP said: "Maher? Like Bill Maher, the Jew? So she's a Jew."
It's the most basic logical construction. The connection between Katherine Maher and Bill Maher, as identified above, is the name Maher.
If P then Q.
If last name is "Maher" then person is Jewish.
Maher being an Irish name, that is false. Attempting to claim that Katherine Maher is Jewish, solely based on her sharing an Irish last name with Bill Maher, is a failure of logic. And wrong.
I didn't say Bill Maher wasn't Jewish, I said that "Maher" is an Irish name (also Arab, but she's clearly not Arab).
Ok, give some evidence of her alleged Jewish heritage.
You're claiming her mother is Jewish? Where's your proof on that?

Edit: I don't downvote people I disagree with, even when they are factually wrong.
Edit #2: As opposed to the stormfags who DO downvote repeatedly. See the comments in this article for proof.
It comes out of music. The "groove" of a song, particular jazz, is kind of the rhythm, the feel, the overall impact. You can say "Wow, that drummer is really grooving!" If he's really into the song, really driving, really fitting in. Colloquially, if you're "in the groove" you're doing great, really nailing whatever task you're on, etc.
"I'm in the groove! I just coded a new hit box algorithm I've been stuck on for days!"
"Groovy" really just means "Cool." Often used in a kind of arts or music of visual context. Today mostly used ironically. It's old slang. If I saw a kid wearing some really funky tyedyed shirt or something I might say "Hey, that's a pretty groovy shirt!"
Does Duke Nukem or Doom Guy say "Groovy" at some point??
She's not Jewish.
Maher is an Irish name. Bill Maher's father is Irish, his mother is Jewish.
Katherine Maher is your prototypical white northeastern catholic uberwoke liberal. (At least family origin is Catholic. I'm sure she's too woke for such pedestrian things as organized religion.)
Quake 1 is a lot of fun. I prefer it over the sequels because they all lack the Romero design.
Quake 1 remains such a standout for me. I still remember the Deathmatch levels..."Claustrophobopolis" ... "The Bad Place."
Loved zapping people by jumping in the water and using the lightning gun.
A few older games I've been thinking about re-playing recently.
Alpha Centauri
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
Ocarina of Time
If you're in to adventure games, there are about a billion games that can be played with Dosbox or scummvm. I've been playing through a bunch of 80s/90s games recently. The hardest part is to not google when you get stuck! I'm on Legend of Kyrandia 1 right now, and I plan to go through the series. I never played the others.
Someone had money to pay for her canteens apparently.
This is the comment I came here to read.
Stellar Balds?
One of the best things that Rush Limbaugh used to do was his media mashups. He would take about some issue of the day and then would play a series of about 5 second long clips of all the different cable, radio, broadcast, etc., talking heads who were literally saying the exact same thing. Same words, same phrases, same intonation, everything.
Journolist was a very public example of collusion, but it's there, it's been there, and it's been there for a long time.
Media in all of its stripes, is the enemy.
True story. In ~1998, in highschool, I was taking AP US History. We had a book report assignment where we had to go to a local university library to look up journals that had reviewed the book(s) we were assigned. Yes, this was a public highschool that had standards.
We also had to find other, non-academic reviews. I used Amazon, and I wrote something like "You have to be careful with Amazon reviews, because some of them are clearly bad faith reviews, either friends of the author or publisher or paid for reviews."
The teacher put a comment on my paper "Yes! You should always be careful to think about the source of what you are reading and WHY they are writing what they wrote."
This is what education should be like.
Amazon reviews being junk is nothing new, though I do agree the scope has gotten worse.
Nice site. You know what would be interesting? If it also tracked critic reviews (something like metacritic) AND steam play numbers. Then you could see -- are DEI games better reviewed? Do they get more or less playtime? And so forth.
I would say a couple of things about this.
First of all, this is a very female expression style. I'm certain you'll find soyboy malefeminists writing the same way, but they're copying women.
So, it's a relatively common female style. It's also been my experience, and this is from IRL as well, that women who talk this way and bring "queer" or "mommy/daddy" or "bdsm" into every topic, are as fucking basic as they come. It's like they get a high from feeling naughty and transgressive.
It's the fucking definition of arrested development.
I looked up Alyssa Mercante, senior editor at Kotaku as of November 2022. In her introductory article, she talkes about her "queer creds," her masters thesis in contemporary queer lit, etc. What does she list for her own personal interests? Three rescue cats. Favorite TV shows are "Real Housewives franchise, Love is Blind, Geordie Shore, and Bar Rescue." "Puck sluts for the [New York Rangers]"
She is just the embodiment of "basic bitch who wants to be special."
You can almost hear her biological clock ticking down...
And this is why you can't trust Republicans either.
