may the incompetent fail to oppose this peacemaker

is this a children’s card game?

no. yugioh is like that because of decades of strange and bad design decisions from Bandai-Namco. they don’t want to do keywords, so you have a wall of text. they don’t want to have a rotating standard, so they have a banlist that’s a mile long. there’s also several instances of them making cards that don’t actually work by the rules of the game. i like card games, i appreciate the different design decisions of the basic game of yu-gi-oh, but my god do the actual design decisions of cards themselves have flaws. it’s not a good game to pick up casually. just on the basis of card availability and price for meta decks, pokemon is by far the most accessible card game in paper right now.

being mad that your family members were murdered by capitalist profiteers is for the poors sweetie, at princeton, we don’t worry about those.

i mean i think he’s kind of fucked from the failed infanticide. i think at some level he definitely learns to appreciate some people and creatures. it’s like, what’s luffy if literally no one loved him from rip.

Ida is the best. I’m a fan of her refusal to back down on looking out for Loki, on advocating for his right to be alive, even his right as a child to be kept safe by adults, even strangers.

I think that Shaky probably becomes empress due to Rocks winning Gloriosa in a Davy Back Fight not long after this point.

I really enjoyed this one. I really liked the way Roger and Garp looked like Ace and Luffy.

i’m normally eh on extreme body mods, but i can at least understand a man’s desire to not be “british”

for amerikkkans, there’s actually an important step between a bug’s life and the communist manifesto, which is of course the communist manifesto but tony hawk gets to keep his stuff

worry not, there is no lesson too simple to not bounce off their heads.

her team is stupid and stupid democrats right now are convinced zohran won the primary for nyc mayor because “social media”

that’s fucking WILD

it’s been trying to set a new pb for like a month now y’know

nazis never miss an opportunity to beat the shit out of a black guy. wonder where they learned that one from

as it has been noted elsewhere, this is almost identical to the policies being pioneered in california under gavin newsome and los angeles under karen bass. they’re using similar justifications to undergird a similarly violent escalation against unhoused people with nowhere else to go. it’s becoming plainer and plainer daily that newscum is trying to position himself as the liberal Hitler alternative and the trump people are cribbing his notes accordingly.

“though” was only referring to your disagreement about the phrase “sharpening debate pervertry” not negative to the broader point. we’re entirely in agreement about everything but that small semantic point about particular language.

i mean sharpening of debate pervertry in the sense that the “empathy” being sought fundamentally consists of debating whether or not certain groups of people have human rights, not in the sense of actually becoming better at formal debate tactics. that’s nerd shit for nerds, like destiny, and not of interest to the general population. i agree though that to whatever extent there is a call for empathy it’s a call for empathizing with fascism, not just individual fascists. part of this inroad though is by performing the act of putting increasingly depraved ideas up for debate. they also want money though, as a for-profit company, so to some extent they’re motivated simply by that. ultimately, i would say that they are very much an incarnation of a zen, enlightened centrist strain of fascist normalizing and propagandizing.

the socialism that’s possible in the current American context is going to be socialism with burgerland characteristics

it’s actually wild this guy isn’t smart enough to suggest this in other words than “national socialism”

what they actually do

they post on social media

Best I can do is $100 off your taxes over $100k

it was extremely surreal to simultaneously watch the kidnapping and also an interview with a 16-yo Palestinian who lives under probably the best conditions of anyone in Gaza (got to eat rice and a salad today, has roof). it’s all just out there. in every literal sense, a live-streamed child holocaust.

i’m also one such. how time flies.
