Dude you beat me by 3 minutes. I guess this is truly a name chosen by the people!

Well, if it's OK to call her by names given by "the people" does that mean she'd be cool with me calling her Occasional Cortex?

She must think Bloods vs. Crips involves a bunch of handicapped people beating on some sort of blood elemental monsters with their canes.

Ha! This person clearly does not understand the mechanics of turning an animal into a short-term organic mech suit! Why, when I was five I was making rats into mech suits for MICE! And the mice were mechsuits for WASPS!

Biden knew, but apparently some of his dumbass supporters did not.

When you're being outwitted by a senile geriatric who sometimes forgets where he is, it's time to pack it in.

This is a reminder that your politics are so important to you that you're willing to shill for a specific bag of sugar for sake of a JPEG.

Newborns in ICU-level medical care couldn't be transferred? Where would the poor souls even have got the plague FROM? Their exposure to humanity for their entire lifetime should have been with people who were wearing more protective equipment than a welder.

And if he had taken that opportunity, we'd be sitting here watching people like Mad Manuel complaining about how the cheerleaders were his fault.

Wow. If anyone wants a template for how to write something so vague it covers anything, here ya go.

Well, if we're going to quote the dictionary....

Obstinate: Firmly or stubbornly adhering to one's purpose, opinion, etc.; not yielding to argument, persuasion, or entreaty.

By the new definition every person you fail to convert/"deconvert" to your religion/cause/group is a bigot.

How big of a creep do you have to be to beat off during a conference call?

How big a freak do you have to be to be so damned aroused by a conference call?

Anyone want to play Among Us with me on Twitch to get out the vote? (I’ve never played but it looks like a lot of fun)

She can't even "Hello fellow gamers!" right.

Nobody gets canceled quite so enthusiastically as a middle-aged white woman accused of racism

White women destroy lives, white women most affected.

Truth and reconciliation is an odd way of saying subjugation and reeducation.

Well, if you think about it "concentration camp" Is a pretty odd way to describe the place you starve and work to death people when you weren't killing them outright. It's just about concentrating people in one place, right?

(Or "gulag", which is just an abbreviation for the name of the department who ran them.)

My child is in 10th grade, and they're supposed to start learning about the birds and the bees officially in 11th grade.

When I was growing up, sex ed started in 9th grade but got so mired in "self esteem" BS that it was possible to get out of the first year without knowing boys and girls were different down below. (I know this, because someone did.)

Up until about 2014 I used to buy an anthology of the best sci-fi/fantasy stories from the previous year.

Heh, I used to buy "Year's Best SF" but gave up on it a few years before it stopped running. I went to Wikipedia and looked over the articles on the series just now. I recognized a few of the covers but I had to go through three covers I recognized before I got to one story I recognized. (And I have to wonder if the only reason I recognized it was because my friend borrowed the book and loved that one story so much he wrote an essay on it that I proofread for him.)

race war

As the situation gets worse, you get more people who are accelerationists (or at least tolerant of same) because you make more and more people decide it's inevitable and it would be better to just get it over with.

So, yes, keep threatening a race war (because it sure as fuck wouldn't be Trump's side starting it, so I presume it's yours), it will just make it more inevitable. Just remember this - everyone thinks they'll be ruling the wasteland fort after the zombie apocalypse. No one thinks they'll be the nameless dead outside.

Yeah, I dropped them sometime after the revival, around the time Russ "Eagle Semen" Pitts came back. I guess I realized I was watching ZP more out of habit than anything, and being offered a second serving of Pitts was what it took to jar me out of it.

As for my unfounded speculation, their comment "We're bringing in a new movie series in essay format." makes me think they're in a downward spiral; I seem to recall the Escapist did something similar last time as they were starting to fail. Perhaps it's just my memory but I recall someone on a forum - hell, maybe theirs - saying something like "Isn't a site that sold itself on having video series dropping its video series a bad sign?"

(Pops over to Kiwi Farms for whatever context they dug up.)

Oh wow, the Escapist's parent company even handed him the rights to all his shit. Even the one called "Escape to the Movies". It's named after the site and has nothing Bob-specific in the name - either they're getting out of the movie commentary gig altogether or they think the brand is so indelibly Bobbed that it'd be better to start over.

They say they're not renewing his contract. I wonder if it was just a "It turns out hiring the people who were running the show when the Escapist was failing the first time was a bad idea." or if his recent squabble with Memeology 101 over Cuties caused some damage.
