  • This is the fault of [current Democrat President], says most predictable bunch of baboons ever.

  • Kinda looks like she came from a McRib tbh.

  • Paladin massages would so next level it's honestly hard to imagine.

  • Sounds like a space management skill issue. Git gud.

  • Wars are won on logistics and, as Ukraine has demonstrated, the new way to fight wars is drone strikes.

    So ... learn to pilot, I suppose.

  • True, sadly. Though there's been a lot of local defiance of that and in 2024 they're expected to vote on it again.

    The local UM congregation in my city has a gay pastor and giant banners up detailing that they are open and affirming. There's a whoooole splinter going on right now.

    Some of the conservative nutjobs are breaking off too, but a lot of that is in the US South (and Africa, interestingly; still a lot of homophobia on that continent).

    Also should be mentioned that there are two similarly named Presbyterian church denominations and one is cool and the other is VERY not.

    Still, all the more reason to not get hung up on labels.

  • Ah, the rhetorical equivalent of "I'm not touching you!"

  • Probably they're more like Quakers, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, United Church of Christ, or United Methodists. You know, the denominations with openly gay clergy who see their role as advancing the cause of social justice and helping the poor and disenfranchised in their communities.

    Giving people shit for a label is bigoted as fuck. Also, thanks for making a dad joke thread about your unresolved religious trauma.

  • Edgerunners was a better story than the game, honestly. You're not missing all that much if you don't enjoy the gameplay.

  • The developing world isn't going to tolerate a reduced standard of living because Western Europeans got the industrial revolution party started first.

    Fossil Fuel Austerity is the thoughts and prayers of the climate change crisis. It's not gonna happen, people. There will not be a global come to Gaia moment before everything goes to hell. So we best start figuring out how to capture carbon and actively manage the climate or our species is doomed.

  • It's hard to get in certain places and people don't understand the different varieties. If anyone reading this wants to try it, check your local Asian grocer if you're lucky enough to have one.

    IMO Thai food does vegetarian better than anyone.

  • Or we could start tar and feathering boards of directors. We could even use chicken feathers!

  • Honestly the rot goes alllll the way back to Nixon and the Southern Strategy. They needed a bunch of racist idiots to win and to court a racist idiot you have to act like one. Eventually the "act" stops being an act and becomes the reality of the party.

  • Trump is their new god and he never abided by it; I'd say it's well and truly dead.

  • It's definitely not human nature and is, instead, an improbably well coordinated conspiracy by a gigantic corporation known for being full of internal conflict over a span of decades to engineer helplessness in users. Whereas we all know that users are normally such resilient, inquisitive souls, more than willing to engage with a piece of technology in order to understand it. Or they were, until Microsoft attacked. Alas, if only it were not for the great evil empire, all would be well. At least this very real conspiracy serves the additional purpose of flattering the community's vanities and affirming its values as both morally correct and intellectually superior. So we got that going for us, which is nice.

  • Another image I can hear thanks to Bill Wurtz.
