  • I haven't seen Chuck Palahniuk mentioned, and he was very influential to a bunch of us millenials, I imagine. He is very good at writing about the nihilism of modern times.

    Fight Club is the most popular example of his novels, and its a great read. I am also really particular to, Rant:The Oral Biography of Buster. Its such a weird story, and was one of the first books to really spark my interest in reading fiction. He has a bunch of other good novels I would recommend, like Snuff, Choke, and Lullaby.

  • You are so smart. Why don't poor people just move to a democracy? Its only requires a bunch of money and sacrifice. Poor people should just abandon all of their friends, families, and connections by spending all of that money that poor people are known to have. That way they can live in a democracy and vote not to be poor, or whatever.

  • Look, I definitely don't hate you, and hate racists as much as anyone other upstanding citizen should. I honestly appreciate you looking out for them, and the username you called out could be seen as sus, for sure.

    Just don't let assholes steal the symbols for themselves, fuck them. Don't disparage someone for not knowing about the dogwhistle and/or using a symbol non problematically. That was really my only gripe.

  • Considering that Entropy Zero came out about 13 years after Half Life 2, I would hope it was better. It doesn't really seem fair to compare the two. They were developed in different times, with different tech, and different games to draw inspiration from. That's not to mention that Entropy Zero is a mod built on top of Half Life 2, and requires HL2s code to even run in the first place.

  • This is a silly but entertaining conversation, so I will continue the circlejerk.

    You must be thinking of a small knife, as well. Most knives, especially the ones typically best for stabbing, are large. A butcher knife is as wide as most peoples foot. A hunting knife, or a typical boot knife, is maybe have as wide. Someone's foot could be sliced off in like three or four stabs, at most.

    I agree that getting shot once is going to be worse than getting stabbed once, most of the time, but we were talking about 35 times. I think we could just agree that your foot would be completely fucked and stumpy either way.

  • On Doomsday, ever since the womb ‘Til I’m back where my brother went, that’s what my tomb will say

    Right above my government; Dumile. Either unmarked or engraved, hey, who’s to say?

    -MF Doom, Doomsday

    I really love the wordplay with his government name 'Dumile' having a double meaning of 'Doom'll lay'. There are a bunch of other MF Doom lyrics in contention for goat status, in my opinion.

  • At this point, I think some American politicians and policy makers are afraid of Cuba surpassing the US in living conditions if the embargo is dropped, and Cuba is given a fair shot. A thriving Cuba would serve as fodder for a leftward push in politics in the US, and I don't think any of the lobbyists or their puppets want that, at all.

    Not to mention that, given the average age of said politicians and policy makers, one can only assume many of their brains are heavily washed with the Red Scare era propaganda.
