The older I get the more I come to accept the idea of oblivion after death and I'm okay with it. Sure I might like to live longer and experience more life... but the thought of immortality and never reaching true oblivion has started to become just as scary a thought.

Imagine a hundred extra years of life... a thousand... now imagine living with yourself after a hundred thousand or a million years... no thanks!

Right wing persecution complex and martyrdom fetish reaches it's final level of absurdity.

I don't think Illumination's other movies are made with any less passion than Mario is. They're all good looking films with a lot of attention to detail.

But you care about Mario already so you like it more. That's okay. Good source material made up for Illumination's weaknesses.

But dunno how long they can just rely on that though. Eventually the newness of it is gonna wear off. Then again I guess these movies are primarily for kids so it doesn't really matter.

I don't think I have ever actually seen an entire illumination studios movie, mostly because I hate how those fucking minions are on every product and TV commercial to the point where I don't even care if the movies they are in are good. The pure over-saturation makes me hate them.

While I do understand that this is far from the first time that Christianity has been used for violence, political gain, genocide, and repression of the people I do not believe that it is something necessarily inherent to the religion.

Other Christians will disagree with you.
Not atheists or Muslims, other Christians.

They will say you lack the courage of your convictions, they will say you lack faith and disobey god by allowing the heretics and unbelievers to spit in the face of God, and there are plenty of Bible passages to back that up too.

If you claim that you get to gate-keep for them, then they can gate-keep for you and claim you aren't a true Christian and are unfit to call yourself that. As someone raised in a Christian household that was certainly exposed to the faith growing up - I can't tell either of you that you aren't "true Christians" - because as long as you believe in the divinity and Resurrection of Jesus, you are Christians.

Friends,

THEN, they should be able to EASILY give you all therir money and valuables, because their lifes are in the afterlife, and they will not need them.

Tell me how that goes, Please and thank you.

Hell... Jesus tells them to give up their worldly possesions.

The bible says it's easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter heaven!

I don't want to cut grass with a sythe

The problem is we all use this similar grass for lawns. Plant a grass or ground cover that doesn't need constant maintenance.

Also, isn't sonic supposed to be like superhero powered, while Mario is supposed to be an every-man that rises to the occasion?

I say this as a lifelong Nintendo fan that mostly just enjoys a sparse few of the Sonic titles.

Not cool, be kind to wildlife and small animals!

Many properties of socialism are proper and good, sharing and charity are excellent qualities. A shame that such qualities that work on the individual level do not translate to an enforced governmental level.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of socialism.

In socialism, the means of production are owned by the worker and everyone has a stake in it's success. In Capitalism, a capitalist owns the means of production and dictates with the well-being of the workers being important only as far as it effects profitability.

The key to a solid socialist foundation is representative democracy which has been lacking from the more extreme communist experiments which have failed - while socialist democracy has elevated the livelihood and prosperity of the average citizen in social democracies where it continues to work quite well to this day.

Meanwhile, capitalism without the restraints of democracy becomes anarcho-despotism, while capitalism under the best case scenario under a democracy works tirelessly against the corrupting influence of capital and consolidated wealth.

Absolute 100% disagree with TC.

When people tell me what gender they wish to express I believe them, and when people tell me what god they believe in and what religion they follow, I also believe them.

Also: The bar for being a Christian is that you believe in the divinity of Jesus and the Resurrection. Who am I or who are you to tell them they are believing wrong?

Who makes the rules? Who gets to decide which passages to ignore and which to interpret to suit their political agenda because literally ALL Christians pick and choose which parts of the bible to adhere to and which to ignore. Hundreds of denominations interpret the Bible slightly differently than others.

So no... I will not accept the "No TRUE Scotsman/Christian" fallacy.

You don't get to gate keep - spend some time and effort trying to make them better Christians if you don't like how they reflect on you!

Narrative 1 and 2:

If a movie prominently featuring an actor of color in a role previously held by a white actor, or if the movie even suggests that LGBTQ people exist and are not predatory monsters:

• If the movie flops for any reason insert narrative one: "Go woke go broke! audiences are tired of this woke PC Hollywood globalist BS!"

• If the movie is a success insert Narrative two: "Audiences are brainwashed by globalist cultural Marxist woke agenda, and they will buy into any hyped up Hollywood garbage!"

I thought we were going to have to give up red meat and no more hamburders...

Even if we grant all that... aren't you a good Christian American conservative woman?

When you're done being a "reporterette" (in the words of Rush Limbaugh, not my sexist term!) you should be pumping out babies to carry on your husband's White Christian bloodline... aren't you concerned about the state of the planet for your children and grandchildren? Don't you need them to carry on the fight against diversity, justice, and tolerance?

We've been waiting for your rapture or second coming for centuries now, let's have an insurance policy in case the earth lasts a bit longer, shall we?

Raw is such a shit product. 3 hours of nauseating promos and minimal wrestling.

AEW is like Attitude era WWE... well it's a little more silly sometimes, but overall it feels like classic pro-wrestling with focus on great matches.

It's fine. Doesn't really leave an impact on me one way or the other... I'm not really a flag guy anyway. I don't lose my shit over them lol.

I had an impressive CD collection that I long ago transferred to digital while I still have the physical media stored away.

For new music, I really don't like anything on the "charts" and I find there's plenty of free streams of interesting new music in sub-genres of electronica, metal, and jazz.

"Tankies" represent a specific strain of authoritarianism that can only emerge on the fringes as a subculture of greater authoritarian movements.

It's a disjointed leftist reactionary, and it's mainly achieved by duping young white males who are not susceptible to standard conservative pro-American capitalism authoritarian ideology but still believe in authoritarianism. It's largely centered around being knee-jerk anti-American, to the point where you overlook the negatives of other global powers like Russia and China because the United States must definition-ally always be worse.

Thankfully it's a relatively small movement of mostly grifters and their duped audience, and they are widely rejected by pretty much everyone comprising the larger leftist movement.

We really need an "Enter the Batverse" movie.

No thanks. The Lego the Batman the Movie was enough cross promotional, self aware, meta-multiverse, internal deconstruction adventure family comedy...

Would be cool to invent new characters and stories.

Transformers branched out to dinosaurs. Go-Bots did rocks.

Not gonna lie... I went to see the Rocklords GoBots movie with my buddy at the dollar theater. I remember liking it and I had some of the toys. Because the rock form could be anything, the robot forms were pretty decent.

I mean Gobots were always the knock off Transformers, but even transformers started as a way to market Japanese toys to a western kids by buying up a bunch of licenses from different toy lines and hiring writers from Marvel comics to hash out a story around them.

You young'uns nowadays only know the popular 80s toys that had their own shows, there was so much more... and Gobots looks like high art in comparison to some of them!

Just gonna drop these here...

Man you guys HATE bigger people. Especially women. Especially black women. Like why, what did they do to you? Why is it something you need to comment on at all? Live your life, don't sit around on a dying gaming message board commenting on a successful woman's body.

The worst is when they pretend their bullying and hatred for overweight people is because they care about their health or because it's so rude to drive up costs of health care by being so unhealthy.

It's so obvious, and yes they really hate black women to begin with so adding the weight means more physical black woman to hate I imagine...

As someone who has never really played Zelda games

WTF? Link is trans now?

No, not in any official statement from Nintendo or in game canon.
They are mad at a subculture of the fans.

UnfairRepresent posted...

I thought the origin point of Link was that Link was the child playing the game. Hence the name "Link"

Nope. That's just the name of "The Hero" in the various continuities. There's been some talk from character creator Shigeru Miyamoto that in the original legend of zelda there was going to be time travel, and later that became a theme in some games with "Link" being the hero that bridges the gaps between the ages.

Otherwise he is just "Link" because that's the name they gave him. Like Mario, Spyro, or Solid Snake... it's ultimately just their name. The main difference being that there are different links for each "world" or "age" the various games take place in.

UnfairRepresent posted...

And they only made him a male in later games.

No, although it is different Links in different eras or worlds, Link has always been a specific male character.

I'm not that big on fighting games.

No, it was definitely a conspiracy against them orchestrated by like 3 people on reddit. That's really the only logical explanation. It certainly can't be because of the behavior they're displaying here or anything lol.

Oh and I have you tagged now - and BTW are you my alt?

Any time a right winger is placed in a position to have authority to silence or shut down a forum that the far right can't control and dominate by one means or another, they will.

Because they know their ideas cannot compete without the use of overwhelming capital resources, bullying and threats, or complete administration and moderation favoritism.

I mean. Thats not really true even on the surface. Are we pretending dad bod isnt a whole thing? Are we pretending there isnt a ton of media about a fat guy dating conventionally attractive women? like, again, literally every sitcom ever? James Cordens entire career? Fucking Family Guy, even? And going back further to the foundations of comedy sitcoms, the Simpsons? A dynamic you see in a million other places, including real life.

For the most part, in my experience women care far less about weight. this isnt saying unfair standards for men dont exist: there is definitely still a focus on athletic, muscular dudes with abs. But its never been as stark or pervasive as it is for women, and fat men have always been treated better than fat women.

Its only very recently one section of society has decided to not treat fat women like shit, and as you can see the pushback was immediate and strong.

Your post immediately brought this to mind:

I don't know if you've ever lived somewhere that gets up past 90F but I would literally trade food for AC in the summer if I had to. It gets so hot and humid here I wouldn't even be able to sleep.

Yes, it was over 90F today here and I don't have my AC installed yet. The only saving grace is that it's not full blown mid summer humidity.

I 100% agree the pregnant girl should get the AC, I am pro AC. I am thinking of the irrational parent potentially using money as the excuse to forbid her pregnant daughter from running the AC, when the real reason is probably some kind of self-righteous spite.

VirtuousWrath posted...

Between these comments and the other ones in those citibike Karen topics, I think CE just hates pregnant women lmao

No dude, we don't know what kind of budget is being worked with.

Also, the cost of running it can easily be used as a means to refuse to allow the daughter to run it, and escalate the tension even further. Offer another $50 toward electricity for the month or two left in the pregnancy.

PoopPotato posted...

You gonna help pay for the electricity too?

This is key.

The real expense for running AC is the amount of electricity it costs.

Rage for the machine!

In reality we know the deal, right wingers launched a campaign to cancel a board where they constantly lost in fair discussion on the ideological front due to their ideas being terrible and having only minor advantages over the left.

ForsakenHermit posted...

8chan or r/atheism

Not sure if you are being serious or kidding, but that is the goal isn't it?

The reason these boards are being nuked is because it's a space leftists have a relatively equal footing to dispute toxic far right culture - and such spaces have been historically systematically purged from the internet.

Ultimately the most toxic and hateful far right extremism will vote for and ultimately strengthen the power of capital. We're at a point right now where capital uses the far right to hold us all hostage - essentially you'll vote for a safe centrist that serves only capital and might slow down erosion of human rights, or you'll get more fanatical fascist lunatics like Donald Trump.

I like very specific games and very specific genres.

I love action-RPGs like Diablo and Grim Dawn...
Long form turn based and tactical RPGs
Shumps
"Boomer shooters" - which are fucking GEN X shooters dammit! Boomers didn't make DOOM, Duke Nukem, Goldeneye, and Quake big hits, Gen X did!

Again, it would seem the role it was filling has been deemed unimportant in the grand scheme of things with respect to what the site is actually supposed to be.

I play games to turn the world off and forget about all this shit. If I want to be angry all the time, I'll go to a political site. Gaming is supposed to be fun.

Interesting I have you tagged, and it's along a very political line... specifically for something fairly right wing.

So it's not like you haven't dabbled in putting your political opinions out there.
