Didn't they have another video where one of them talked about how her boyfriend or husband or whatever got injured and the neighbors were calling him a lazy bastard because he let her do stuff like taking groceries in and garbage out?
Fuck you if it breaks your back the rest of the way, you still gotta do the heavy lifting! We hate standing here watching a poor little woman lift bags!
Ive actually seen people claim that being reasonable and tolerant is just a part of an alt right strategy.
When you're so far down the rabbit hole that the Nazis are the reasonable and tolerant ones.
I'm sorry, an attempt to be edgy with Peppa Pig is just pathetic compared to "Peppa's Basement".
Best I can do is five bucks.
Will be anyone competent left in the US in the long run?
Our new colonial administrators.
Unfortunately there are very few Jason-Voorhees-victim-lookalike-sexuals out there.
Sure they have GOG
Which is funny because the thing that soured me on CDPR was their GOG closing hoax.
Ah, yes, I'd forgotten that the exaggeration in Lollybomb wasn't that the officers had a ton of medals, it was that they had so many that they ran down their pant legs.
Sounds about right for Edmonton.
I work for schools or school boards. They ain't going down until the government goes down.
Just found out my Vice Principal is a Commie Racist
Yeah, several of mine are.
Oh, wait, you're a student.
Shit, I'm sorry to hear that.
And that everyone who says these are the "best years of your life" just didn't have what it takes to make it in the real world.
They were given a new job, as custodians of our peace of mind, the focus of our understandable and rightful dread of being inferior; official censors, judges, and executors.
At this rate by the end of the year you'll be able to reassemble the entirely of Fahrenheit 451 from my use of quotations.
As much as I think TheImpossible1 beats the drum too damn hard, I have to be entirely fair. I only know it's coming because my current employer IS making a deal out of it. Some staff have posters up (I have to cut the data retention policy because we have no budget to increase capacity despite a half-dozen new VMs coming online but someone's paying to get commemorative posters graphic-designed and printed). I can't quite give details without doxxing myself, but they just announced they'll be having a seminar next week which includes an "empowering women climate action" box. No details on what's in the box other than a t-shirt for the woman in charge and "activities" for 5-10 girls.
Ah, reminds me of the same thing being done in a more serious context. It's been years, but let's see if I recall. "Head of the Class", a sitcom from the 1980's taking place mostly in the gifted class (speaking of things that wouldn't fly today...) at a school. One episode featured one of the semi-regular cast from the school's remedial class. The idea as I remember it was that she wasn't dumb or anything, she'd just kind of fallen through the cracks and, after the world decided she was dumb, she became complacent and accepting of the lower standards everyone expected of her. (The line I remember most was "You have to write your essays? If I copy the right page of the encyclopedia I get an A.")
The main characters take her under their wing and teach her some of the stuff they're learning. Then she goes back to her class and the teacher asks her what the Revolutionary War was about. She starts in with what she'd learned from the gifted students, about the lack of colonial representation in Parliament etc., when the teacher stops her and says the answer is "A tax on tea." He then has the entire class chant, almost cultlike, "A TAX ON TEA. A TAX ON TEA." with the clear expectation that it's all they'll be able to absorb. And that's where she starts to see the damage caused by lower standards. As I recall it ended with her managing to get out of the mire with continued tutoring.
That really stuck with me - hell, it's one of only two things from that entire show I remember - because I grew up in a very small town where everyone knew everyone and I saw kids fall through the cracks mostly because of their family name and having an older sibling or a parent who had a reputation for being dumb. They were given up on after their first failing because failing was all that was expected of them. They weren't corrected and picked back up like a normal kid, they were just... abandoned. And it started a corrosive pattern some of them never got out of.
And here I am almost 40 years later still fighting against what's now called the soft bigotry of low expectations.
the F/X are schlock compared to modern stuff
The upside being that they don't lean on the effects to hand you 45 minutes of computer generated explosions and skybeams.
For detective fiction my favorite is the Nero Wolfe series, the original novels done by Rex Stout in which Archie Goodwin tells you about the cases he works as the field operative and right-hand man for eccentric genius Nero Wolfe. As far as TV versions go, the A&E series (back when "A&E" meant something) with Timothy Hutton is pretty good as well. (I've been told the 1981 Lee Horsley series was decent but I've never seen it and can't even find a torrent. My buddy who did remember it warned I'd probably have whiplash because it was modernized to happen in the 80's, whereas the A&E series locks everything into somewhere just before, during, or after WW2.) It's not a progressive series at all, with modern writers regularly calling Wolfe a misogynist (rather reductive, I think). The most "progressive" the books get would probably be "Too Many Cooks" and "A Right to Die" which both deal with race relations at least partly. (That said, the murderer literally wears blackface in "Too Many Cooks" so I don't know how progressive that'd be considered.) Then again, before his most hardboiled edges got filed off a few books in, Archie was more than willing to use a slur if you got him annoyed.
For pure mindless fluff my favorite SF go-to has always been Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat series. They are formulaic (To summarize: Jim diGriz gets in trouble in such a way that the plot is the only way out. He then proceeds to get out of trouble repeatedly by getting into deeper trouble until the climax when he finally gets out of trouble with no strings attached.) but great fun. My grandfather was apparently a renowned teller of tall tales but died before I was born. I like to think I get a similar experience by having Slippery Jim tell me about his weird adventures. The most progressiveness it shows that I recall is that everyone speaks Esperanto and Jim has to remind himself not to be sexist (well, he uses the word "chauvinist") because his wife is as good a crook as he is. That said, there is one story where he meets a society split by sex and it's stereotypes all the way through: The guys are all testosterone muscle morons and the women talk a good enlightenment game but it turns out are corrupt and manipulative.
With DANCE!
Fall Guys, the game lacking the staying power of such iconic classics as Flappy Bird.
I'm surprised you could edit it, I just deleted my other comment and reposted because I couldn't edit it and make it stick.
Anyway, I think the turbonerd justification would be that the DC universe has more people on a larger Earth. Like their US has a Gotham City, a Metropolis, AND a New York City. It's just that nothing ever happens in the third one.
Besides, if they want to kill off a species they'll just murder the Tamaraneans. Again.
Didn't they do about a decade ago? I remember reading about this on the Escapist, which puts it before their collapse into The Yahtzee Show by a few years.
As I remember it, DC were pitching "Green Lantern is gay!" and in the Escapist comment thread we immediately saw through the implication that it was Hal Jordan because they used pictures with Hal prominent but didn't NAME him. We were torn between Alan Scott because he hadn't been in anything for ages and Guy Gardner because as far as we could tell he hadn't been in anything memorable for ages.
"The original wasn't even that good to begin with."
... then why remake it and try to trade on its reputation? They don't even think one sentence ahead, do they?
Still don’t quite understand why public health officials and others aren’t speaking out against Hillier, or fining him for the many times he’s openly flaunted his anti-mask/distancing parties.
Too busy setting up the camps would be my guess. I mean, why bother denouncing individuals today when you can just put them in ghettos by the dozens tomorrow?
2020s in a nutshell: Another day, another doxxing.
