still fun to pick on my christian frens by calling him a dirty hippy, though.
all in good fun, though.
The same Thomas Jefferson that they only last year condemned as evil for being a slave owner, white, and pro-second amendment.
...and that they tore down statues of for same...
minor nitpick; the new york times is a games website, not a gaming website.
“Playing video games alone, even violent ones, isn’t going to convince people to join manosphere communities. But misogyny and interconnected prejudices within games, which often tend to be quite prominent, can normalise such attitudes.”
muh video games are to blame
...like fucking clockwork...
lol, not exactly:
moppet
/mŏp′ĭt/
noun
(colloquial) A child.
(dated) A rag baby; a puppet made of cloth.
ah, you were simplifying for the sake of avoiding confusion.
I thought it was compared year over year by month, ie: inflation in march 2023 (2024?) compared to march 2025?
unfortunately the pima county courthouse doesn't put felony cases online, but I did find two civil cases surrounding eviction, one for a Daniel Michael filed just yesterday, and a similar case for a Danial Michael JR from 2021. could possibly be related somehow?
I'm not excusing shit, by the way, just sharing what little info I could find. Personally, i hope Ol' Sparky makes this fucker his bitch.
Who is this we? Who is included in your blood feud? Go ahead faggot, start killing people. Oh you want other people to do your dirty work, you prissy fuck.
bolded section: How I felt every time some blackpiller demanded we take to the streets the last four years or cried "vote harder next time" derisively.
knowing when, where, and how to act is have the battle, and these people, understandably upset, understand none of these things...
Disney+ directly into your brain
...i'd rather have 4chan circa 2005 injected into my brain.
they'd do less damage
At the risk of being crass, who here has youtube/google levels of cash to throw at the legal defense fund when somebody tries to take this place to court?
I get it, it's frustrating, but google can throw a couple hundred million in cash at the problem and make it go away. I'm honestly surprised this place has the budget to keep running from day-to-day, let alone deal with a lawsuit.
you're not wrong...
the upper lip should be no more than about two-thirds the size of the bottom one... I literally just learned this from thinking about it, lol.
...and don't get me started on the overly detailed upper lip... jesus christ i didn't realize how much I hate that art style until now. it doesn't look attractive, it just looks like you have permanent duckface...
you misspelled projection
I'm sure the response will be something like, "oh the u.s. economy is different (somehow) it can take the hit."
The "we can afford it" argument lefties have been bandying around for decades in other words.
remember the recon armour
sadly no, lol. i've only played the first one and even then years ago in single player and a tiny bit of couch-coop.
i've always been a mostly single player focused gamer, tbh, rarely had internet good enough to support multiplayer.
one major exception is a slightly older and (maybe?)more obscure game, S.H.O.G.O: Mobile Armor Division. the story mode was fun, but my god, the multiplayer was insane. as the mame suggests, they had both giant mecha and on foot levels, both in the campaign and the mulplayer, which was cool of course, but what really made it fun was that in multiplayer, they gave everybody a tractor beam ability that you could use to spiderman around the map. it made the multiplayer a delitefully fun shitshow, with players rubberbanding around each other like superballs while firing wildly.
thankfully, it's on gog, so i might pick it up at some point (lost my copy a long time ago). it's keyboard only, but man is it fun...
literally the second comment called it:

that's one thing that really annoys me. if she was so blasted terrified of going home, why the hell didn't she apply for asylum the minute she was on U.S. soil?
also, can't help but notice they're suddenly avoiding their favorite accusation, considering she's white.
it can be hard to articulate an argument when there's an emotional element to it, which is unavoidable with anything even remotely related to pedophilia. it's a taboo that crosses species, let alone cultures, to one degree or another.
as a general rule, i tend to avoid engaging in these discussions, as it's so easy to get accused of one thing or another, but I think the biggest concern isn't whether or not it becomes a "gateway drug" for actual abuse or 'satiates' pedos and keeps them from abusing children, it's that as ai gets better and better at creating realistic depictions, it may become a shield for actual abuse. "it's not real, it's just ai, I swear!" if you will.
as to your actual question, there seems to be two major arguments, social normalization (ie: it becomes socially acceptable and breaks down the cultural taboo against sexual abuse of children), and that pedophilia is less about sex than it is about power and/or sadism (ie: the thrill comes from having power over someone else and/or the damage it does to the child). I don't know if that answers your question, but it's the best i've got.
and Jess Phillips.
They literally don't know the difference between charity and welfare. I've actually had this argument before sadly.
