  • I have no idea when the last time I thought about Rome period, let alone in any sort of in-depth way. I've learned a bit in school and a few years ago went through a YouTube deep dive history phase but Rome was a topic just as much as any other culture.

    So exceptions aside.... I never think about Rome?

  • Both unbelievable, and on the same note tragically believable. I don't doubt for a second this is the exact reason he railed against mask mandates. Which lead to all the anti Vax BS, which lead to countless needless deaths.

    Because he refused to not be orange.

  • veganism is your natural state.

    Oh it's not. But I feel like you are missing my point by assuming I think it is? As a concept, "natural" overrated, meaningless and not worth striving for. Both of us wear shoes, most people wear glasses and the majority of us travel by car. None of that is "natural", but if you are gonna cite that as a reason to eat meat then why not also go walk through the woods barefoot and nearsighted as well? Nothing about our modern medicine system is natural (but it makes us live longer), traveling to the moon isn't natural, heck the two of us talking over the internet isn't natural (but a net connection brings us both radically more knowledge than we would've had generations ago). Very little of our lives are so, why should this be a metric to care about?

    Say whatever you like about digesting grains, not only do you definitely still eat beans and bread. But if you want to look at the science, there is strong evidence that veganism correlated to longer life, less disease and increased overall health while meat is a known carcinogen. And this totally ignored the environmental and ethical reasons for veganism, those exist.

    But at the end of the day everyone should be way more concerned about scientific data, reason and logic than something as nebulous as living "naturally".

  • Your body can digest human flesh. Does that infromation make canablism acceptable?

    Just because you can doesn't mean you nessecarily mean you should.

    Look at my teeth! I am a carnivorous HUNTER! I stalk the dangerous plains of... Albertsons... with a sharp knife I forged? bought! at Wal-Mart so I can run drive home and enjoy memes. Eating meat is my natural state!

  • Well I don't know what to tell you aside from seeing a lot of posts on trans subs where OP would be like

    Why do gay men hate trans women? I got told by someone in a LGBTQIA+ sub that I was just a a confused gay guy?

    And the comments would be filled with people guessing

    "This was /GayBros wasn't it? They are like that, Gay men as a whole aren't."

    I won't argue with your experience, but at minimum that sub DEFINITELY had a reputation.

  • Wow. From r/GayBros? Srsly?

    They were notoriously one of the more openly mysgonstic and "drop the t" of the queer subs. That's kinda wild honestly.

  • Oh absolutely! I very nearly put KoToR in my little parentheses of good products. The best SW gets is when it gets away from the goddamn Skywalkers 😂

  • You mean the wookies spelled backwards? Because they are tiny?

    They might be a factor...

  • TLJ at least tried something new. Granted, it didn't work. But it was better than just rebooting and rehashing the same old thing over and over again.

    At this point I statistically just don't like SW anymore. Like, there are only three I am comfortable calling "good" movies (New Hope, Empire and Rogue One) and the others are somewhere between "just okay" to "so bad that it's annoying to watch".

    And at this rate, Disney is gonna put out a new THING every year, so like.... Who even cares anymore?

  • This is dangerously short sighted. Should only parents pay taxes for schools? What sort of society do you think that would produce?

  • The deepstate got to him! Real Trump is dead! The "Trump" we see now is a body double! They didn't want Real Trump going to jail and spilling all of oUr sEcReTs, the deepstate killed him to save him!!!!

    Don Jr and Jeffery Epstein 2024!

  • Fantasic example!

    OP just wants to yell, judge and shame people. It's not enlightened, clever or even remotely new, it's simply just being an asshole for the sake of it.

    Hey OP, you aren't the morality police. No one asked or needs your judgement, stopping yelling about your proclaimations of the truth and realize that people are saying over and over again they don't care to hear it.

  • Well that makes sense. The switch is a less powerful platform, an intentional trade off for the mobility. And at this point, it's on the older side. Either accept the trade off so you can play on an airplane or buy a more powerful modern device like a steam deck.

  • Treat that mid thirties lady to a nice relaxing spa day. Somewhere romantic, lots of targets and no hard deck.

  • Well that one made me snicker lol. Maybe I am being too harsh. Idk, I used to read PA daily when I was in high school but at this point a few decades later, it's just something that I've grown out of so it seems pretty juvenile in retrospect.

    This might be more of a "me" thing instead of "penny arcade" thing. 🤷

  • Oh yikes. I mean I agree that the first panel is solid but the other two reminded me why I stopped reading PA. So often the "punch line" is just edgelord violence or insults.

    Reminds me of the Hbomberguy video that really dissects "gamer comics".

  • Translation:

    The optics of my public sexual act is super bad for my campgain strategy of yelling about the existence of trans people as inherently a public sexual act.
