He loved Epic and Fortnite. I forget exactly why, but he was convinced they resisted feminism more than, say, Apple or Steam. Until they had Brie Larson voice a character, then he moved them to his enemies list.
I don't really care about Hamas except inasmuch as there are rabid leftists and some of the rapefugees we let in that I'm sure would attack people in Hamas' name in the right circumstances. Of course, I don't really doubt that Israel would be willing to false flag a Hamas attack on the US in the right circumstances, either.
Basically, both Israel and Hamas are potential problems that I would love to ignore but can't entirely. One is probably worse than the other, though.
You’d be surprised. It was the advent of things like Dueling Network that really allowed people to test outside of their local playgroup and started consolidating knowledge and theory. But even into early 5Ds era, I’m pretty sure it’s possible to find occasional tournament deck lists that did put up actual results doing silly things like running Upstart Goblin in a 41 card deck.
Yeah, you could put it (or even ME as a franchise, arguably) on either side of the cutoff.
Yeah, because that’s a public pledge of allegiance to the ideology behind the game.
BioWare has repeatedly demonstrated that their form post ME3 is “being faggy,” so I suppose it’s correct in that sense.
I wish. But American diplomatic presence in Japan is headed by people like Rahm Emanuel, so there’s a good chance they’d take the kind of racism claims some of these nuisance streamers would make very seriously.
First off, I don’t think being racist is necessarily bad. It depends on a lot of contextual stuff like who’s being racist, as well as where, how, and what the consequences are.
With that out of the way, I definitely wouldn’t consider either one racist. If someone said “both are racist,” I would think that stupid but it’s still a universal standard. The issue is that a large group of people with cultural and institutional power would consider only one of those things racist, and think that that’s an offense that merits punishment.
It’s like she was letting him go from a job for HR reasons. “Sorry, but your conduct isn’t aligned with our corporate values.”
Yeah, in MtG, effects on permanents that don't specifically say things like "when X happens, do Y" or "activate X times per turn" are assumed to be repeatable as many times as you can pay their cost.
The next article: “J. D. Vance’s Tyrannical, Controlling Force of Will.”

Those are, in fact, largely the in-lore associations of the color black. Obviously, playing black in the game doesn’t mean someone is actually evil (lol), it just means they enjoy certain types of effects and playstyles. That said, I would like to see all the SJWs stop playing Magic out of protest for the game making “black” “evil.” That would be a nice ironic fate after WOTC has spent so long charging leftwards.
(Also, you can do this for any of the colors. He plays white? I guess he wants to impose tyrannically strict order! He plays red? Guess he wants to super aggressively burn everything down. Green? Anti-progress. Blue? Anti-nature).
Knowing nothing other than the title, "Sargoy: Welcome to Cukkad" sounds less like a vindictive lefty made it and more like it was made by someone on the dissident/alt/whatever you want to call it right who thinks Sargon is too moderate.
But you can make this same argument for a lot of groups. Not along exactly the same lines, sure, but it's totally reasonable to say that, for example, a person that is born and raised in the US but ethnically Japanese, or Indian, or Afghanistan may not fit well into the nation of their ethnic ancestors... but it also doesn't stop me from noticing that they do have this part of their identity that is different from mine. It doesn't mean they have to be my enemy or my ally, but it is healthy and appropriate to acknowledge it, especially if I am explicitly considering how different identity groups interact and what their incentives might be.
I also reject the idea that "white" should contain "Jewish." "White" is loosely "European," or at the very least it is in most of the contexts in which you will see it on this board, something you should very well be aware of. As such, it would not contain a Middle Eastern group like the Jews. If you argue "actually, 'white' is X category for Y reasons and therefore I can fit Jews into it," sure maybe you can make a coherent category that does that, but you're still not addressing the actual point being made when most of the posters here use "white."
How do you evaluate the risk of growing old alone with no family around you?
My perspective is generally that a marriage may be a huge risk for potential unhappiness, but growing old alone with no family is an even bigger one.
Look, I know it’s probably not worth trying to engage with you in good faith on this at all, but setting aside any question of whether Jews are particularly good or bad or anything for a society, they do see themselves as a separate ethnic group. Israel is predicated on this. Famous Jewish neighborhoods and enclaves like in Brooklyn are predicated on this. Be it Jews themselves, people who dislike Jews, or people who don’t really care but at least acknowledge obvious reality, the idea that an ethnic identity that is “a Jew” exists has never really been in dispute (except among those who are deliberately prevaricating). And without necessarily saying “whites shouldn’t get along with Jews,” I see absolutely no issue with saying “whites should be aware that ‘Jew’ is a distinct ethnic identity that has members that see themselves as distinct from the identity of ‘white’ and, in questions of group interests and group identity, whites should take that into account.” Because that’s simply true.
In defense of the books, as much as there are badass women, there are also plenty of examples of controlling, arrogant women fucking up really, really badly. As an example, for all that Cadsuane gets presented as a hyper-competent living legend, her involvement does largely culminate in Rand giving her a much deserved chewing out for all the things she should have done better.
“Simply competent” would still be a step or two above what we have.
Which is still far closer than those ridiculous polls that said things like “97% chance Hillary wins” on Election Day.
I plan to vote regardless, but yes, I put more stock in betting site odds than public polling. Public polling is vulnerable to people concealing their views, it’s vulnerable to only certain cohorts responding, and, of course, it’s vulnerable to top down bias in fudging the methodology to get the results you want to publish. In theory, a prediction market doesn’t have those weaknesses because it’s reflective of people with actual stakes, in the form of their bet, predicting what they think is most likely to happen in order to try to win money.
I’m not saying that the only explanation is that someone is specifically investing millions of dollars to make Trump voters overconfident, but I am saying that yes, there’s an argument to be made that betting markets are a form of polling and thus a potential tool to shape public opinion.
Truly devastating psychological warfare.
he will revive Operation Barbarossa, which Nazi Germany launched against the Soviet Union, as a cyberwar against Korean women.
What does that actually mean?
Actually, we can’t look it up ourselves. The account went private. That’s the whole use case for an archive.
That’s literally just a rephrasing of a super old tumblr/Twitter leftist joke about Britain. I’m not trying to accuse him of plagiarizing—it seems like a pretty easy joke to come up with by coincidence—just saying that obviously they laugh and laugh when it’s aimed at the evil whites (who built a globe-spanning empire) instead of the poor oppressed browns (who built a trashy island).
