immediately what I thought of when I read this post. Even when I was 10 I was like “this is weird…”

I won’t go so far as to use the word “normie” like this is 4chan, but I will say: I think it’s fine. I’d rather have slow growth, thanks. I’m not the arbiter of what kind of users we should attract or anything, but if they have a problem with our silly name I don’t want to hang out with them.

He has US citizenship, at least according to wikipedia. Much as I hate him the government can’t just revoke that afaik

I think this is my favorite Far Side panel

What I love every time I see this comic is that Alex knew he would be persecuted for his art, and has accepted it.

They fought each other all the time.

Right, Europeans have never fought each other or others for frivolous reasons

give the supreme court more time to backslide

This is at least the third time. FFXIV was terrible at launch and was fixed a couple of years later with the release of 2.0

the whole “Deckard’s a replicant thing” is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is “more human than human”, and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard’s story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

“You childless losers probably spend all your time rescuing cats from trees!” Vance reportedly yelled as he ran off stage, mascara streaming down his face.

Reminds me of this genuine photo of bison skulls from the late 1800s

The US government encouraged mass hunting of bison to force Native Americans to give up their way of life that depended on them and move to reservations where they would be “allowed” to live. Unless something valuable was discovered on that land later.

When colonists first started arriving there were upwards of 60 million bison in North America, traveling in vast herds that provided much of what various nomadic tribes needed to live on. At the lowest point in the late 1800s there were around 541 known animals in existence. Now there are around 500,000 in NA, the vast majority of which live on ranches and are farmed for meat. There are around 20,000 living on conservation lands.

It’s great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can’t tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien’s words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.

A “woobie” is a name for any type of character who makes you feel extremely sorry for them.

Not sure it’s used properly here. They seem to be using it as a synonym for harmless. A woobie is harmless, but that’s secondary to their pitifulness.
