F1 drivers are villains, because they make people think it's cool to pollute

Dungeon World's Fronts system is awesome. Every time my players take too long, I advance a danger and cackle behind my screen. The players are scared of me.

!Oroborous!< is my favourite character yet.

Australia is ruled by an illegitimate king and it's still recognised.

Fuck the north hemisphere!

There's more rumbling, which makes it feel faster.

Look at a tram station map of the Melbourne metro area.

Wooden cart.

Netherlands and Australia use brick in places where we want cars to slow down. Drivers automatically slow their speeds on brick roads. They're fine to cycle on.

Cars should be banned.

What about brick?

Brick.

People falling in love in meatspace be like

"Ooh baby yeah, I love when you flap your meat like that"

Hoshi could struggle to translate an impossible language and succeed. Or her usefulness to the episode could be that Edgar Alien Perv has a crush on her. Telling everyone in the ship what's going on is always useful. There are plenty of scenes in LDS where there's a red alert and nobody knows what to do about it. That's why TOS had Uhura

It's not because of the colour of their skin. Black people don't literally have black skin, white people don't literally have white skin, Indians and Latines aren't black, and Asians aren't white. If you look at the average black person and see black skin, literally black skin, then your perceptions have been distorted by racism.

I like to fight against my opponent's strongest position. If I were to ignore my opponent's best arguments, then those I educate could change their minds later when they run into those arguments. If I acknowledge their best argument and refute it, then there's nothing more they can do in the debate. OP didn't know the first thing about Israel when I made that first comment. They ought to know why Israel thinks it's in the right. If I say Israel are bad and don't explain why they're being bad, then I'm not properly educating OP. Every hateful or evil group in the world has some kind of reason they think they're in the right. Understanding these reasons is essential.

I would follow a similar logic for blackness if blackness had been created by black slavers who were using it to define themselves as better than everyone else and to justify slavery of nonblack people. However, that isn't what happened. Black people didn't choose to be black. They were kidnapped onto boats and told they were black. They were isolated from their native cultures and shoved into plantations with strangers from halfway across Africa who had no language, culture, or religion in common. They sure as shit didn't want to be black, they wanted to go back to the way things were before. But blackness is the only thing their children grew up knowing.

Is blackness fake? Yes. Is identifying as black a declaration of supremacy? No.
