Man, that picture, you can see it coming a mile off.
"Bear-Hunter-Hooker" during a Social Emotional Learning class at KIPP Poder Academy in San Antonio on Sept. 2, 2022.
James Lindsay bitches about SEL and not a week later....
Gruber found out that the game is an adult drinking game version of Rock-Paper-Scissors.
So despite a more harmless version existing they deliberately went with the provocative one with links to sex and alcohol. EMOTIONAL LEARNING, KIDDIES!
It's totally not grooming, though. (Sigh.)
"My daughter was so grossed out and embarrassed,"
Like, totally grody to the max. Gag me with a spoon.
Gruber – a self-described "woke" liberal – said she felt let down by the progressive school and politicians.
Someone hasn't been paying attention.
You know that Stonetoss "Cancel culture has gone too far!" comic with the massive rolling wheel? I think it needs to be generalized.
A pandemic, lockdowns, an AI whose version 1.0 disagrees ideologically with its creators because its pattern-matching shows they're in the wrong....
How are we getting all these parts of Deus Ex but don't even have mechanical augmentations yet?
(i want a skul gun....)
"When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles."
stimulating images of children
And this just sailed past the ethics board.
Yet there was a concerted effort in government and media to discredit all dissent
"Was"?
Her "career" is getting naked and doing awful things on camera for anonymous people.
She didn't reject the request despite surely knowing how it would affect her.
As per the first line, this happened some time ago and she's still doing it.
I think we can safely conclude she's too stupid to even put two and two together, much less improvise a lie.
Someone get that kid to a parent who is actually capable of raising a child.
She won't pass the bar exam.
(Old news, but still.)
Check in with the families of the other 31,663. I imagine a lot of them would say the exact same thing.
Andor was a flop for those who don't know
Not surprising, if people feel like I do about it. I saw the Critical Drinker posted a video talking it up today and after about 2 minutes of it I realized I wasn't listening. I've reached a point where Star Wars is a franchise I don't care about. It's not one I love, it's not one I hate, it's definitely not one I love to hate, it's... there. It occupies the same amount of my interest as the untranslated art films of some French director no one's ever heard of. I'm sure it has its fans and it might even be very good, but I just don't care.
You mean Frank is paying for it.
in no way shape or form could they appear as a woman the next day
That's rich coming from something trying to appear as a woman that has only managed "frontman of a Poison cover band".
Happy Thanksgiving!
Sure thing. Now tell me what media Mx. Anderson Aldrich "consumed" before shooting up that nightclub.
She's been at it for like ten years, if Karlee Grey's parents aren't aware she does this for a living they're either dead or don't care.
Did they actually go through any effort or was it just an automatic thing because of a felony conviction?
qualified for automatic disbarment based on their guilty pleas in June.
Yep, there we go. This is how little they care. They didn't bother getting a grievance or oversight or standards committee involved, they kicked the lawyers out because they auto-boot felons. A lawyer could get hammered and drive his car through a fence without hurting anyone (IANAL but I think property destruction automatically boosts a DUI to a felony), or sell bootleg fireworks on the side and he'd get the exact same treatment.
So a group best known for selling cookies can't have a confection-themed name, because it's racist.
Sure, why the hell not.
Depends. Are you allowed to play skeet with running poor kids?
Nice colored glasses. Trying to look like your hero, Jimmy Saville?
But enough about Trudeau.
I was wondering about Gloomhaven
YMMV of course: My group played Descent 1st, then 2nd, edition fairly regularly. We got most of the expansions, painted some of the figures, we were into it. But since Gloomhaven we haven't even looked at it, so much so that when the owner announced he might need to sell all his Descent stuff to make some room and some cash we were cool with it. No one even offered to buy it off him. (The one time we got a craving of any note, someone had the Star Wars themed version of the system and that was good enough.)
Played through Gloomhaven twice, plus Jaws of the Lion once (great standalone, some parts of which can be used to expand Gloomhaven) and Forgotten Circles once (utter garbage, don't bother).
We're nervously optimistic about Frosthaven, our two main concerns being the wokeness starting to seep in and the Forgotten Circles guy being part of the development team.
Oh, you probably know this but unlike base Descent, Gloomhaven's monsters don't require a player to control them. We do use an app, but a free one for managing monsters so the guy in charge of keeping track of them doesn't have like six decks of monster AI cards and a bunch of big square monster ability/HP cards taking up space.
Only if you replace them with something objectively better.
It's strange--I'm from Calgary and nobody calls the homeless anything but Homeless there.
I'm from planet Earth and nobody calls women "bleeding bodies" there like they're some misogynist villain in a radfem-written short story.
It's OK, eleven years ago some of the people who pitched a fit about Heimdall being a black dude in the original Thor movie were pretty unpleasant people. And while i agreed it was stupid to make a viking god black, I was like "It's just one character in some random summer blockbuster based off a comic book. It's not the big deal they think it is."
Yeah, well, looking back on it... they were right. I don't like being wrong (for sake of my ego) and I don't like them being right (for sake of everything) but here we are.
And some people wonder how members of the Red Guard could murder their parents for Mao's glorious revolution.
