Oh yeah, it was weird reading the comments on 
.
Like people saying 'fuck the ccp' as though it meant something. Or that a few people asking not to be filmed represented the whole Chinese government.
It's terrifying that the US has a division of the military dedicated to killing people remotely with drones and such an easily manipulated population who would do so on Reddit in a heartbeat.
Charles Cullen, a brilliant university professor and ruthless killer, makes a daring escape from a hospital for the criminally insane. Dr. Joseph Kallinger, the psychologist who examined Cullen, is called in to help find him with a burnt-out cop who thinks Kallinger’s diagnosis is to blame for the situation they’re in.
On the college campus, Evangelical Christian Danny Ranes arrives for his freshman year and falls for bold and beautiful Shavonda Jackson, who introduces him to social justice and identity politics.
Danny begins a life-changing journey of deconstructing his faith and is drawn into a network of radical activism. He is forced to make a dangerous choice that may change his life forever.
Ideas Have Consequences
And then the frightening video recordings start to show up. Charles Cullen captures college professors and debates with them on screen. The proposition: his moral right to kill them. Can the psychologist and cop catch the serial killer and stop his philosophical murders or will their own inner demons break them first?
When you read this novel, it will lead you on a frightening rollercoaster of deep thought and high suspense with pulse-pounding chills into the very meaning of the existence of God.
The Theological Thriller Novel Series
Cruel Logic is the first in the Theological Thriller Novel series of riveting suspenseful novels about human nature, the problem of evil, and the existence of God.
Hopefully with Mewtwo leading the charge.
That's true, but the games are designed with the intention for players to replace Pokemon in your roster. The anime did it too, with Ash changing out his team between regions and only occasionally revisiting them.
There's a level of disposability baked into the series.
Where are the free speech perverts?
I agree on all points and that just makes me all the more passionate about getting rid of IP laws and letting an ambitious fan write the Pokemon game we deserve. Liberate all Pokemon!
It's hard to say - a lot of them are aging poorly so fast these days, especially with how they come out all glitchy. It's like Starfield was born and then drank from the wrong holy grail.
I'm looking forward to that. Right now, I'm in the prophecy portion of the Cassandra myth.
Oh yeah, I know what they're doing, it's just so gross in several different dimensions.
Communism when no food but this is all good. Good ol Arby's paying the food debt 7000 starving children while making almost 4 billion dollars in 2019.
Biden isn't a tyrant if he changes the rules to redefine what legally makes someone a tyrant. Perfect system. No notes.
I'm joking with the meme, but it's an interesting how plot armor unintentionally places value on people's lives in fiction.
It's telling that censorship laws decide who it is and isn't acceptable to kill. Just thinking about violence against sentient robots and how that's normalized in things like Samurai Jack.
Like we know the robot has thoughts and feelings, like they'll try to run to save themselves or plead for mercy, but a character can still heroic after essentially killing a non-human who's acting like how we understand humans.
I feel like there's something dangerous in how easily we can depict appropriate targets of violence. Not just robots, but anybody deemed as less than human are allowed to be more put at risk.
Unnamed people are killed in superhero fights all the time. But unless they are of a class of characters like protagonists, they are collateral damage at best.
I think Plot Armor as a trope needs more class consciousness and awareness around how deciding who gets to be protected is often an unconscious political belief.
What about you though? Any tropes in media you'd like to see explored more or written with a leftist understanding?
Not a 
bit.
I hit the logout button on the menu and the screen just goes back to the homepage with my profile still logged in.
I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue, and if so, is there a work around?
Happens on Firefox and Chrome on mobile/PC.
Made some pumpkin muffins and realized how in a lot of my cooking, I don't care too much about uniformity or presentation.
I'm pretty functional about it - like the meal and my previous creations speak for themselves. If I'm making something for a party or whatever, I try to make things look a little better, but I 100% prioritize flavor and texture more than anything else.
Other people who cook/bake, what are your thoughts on visual presentation?
Anybody want to commiserate on something that sucks?
I had a lot of anxiety and obsession with getting upbears in posts and comments and felt a weird competitiveness that wasn't healthy. It's nice being able to turn off the number of votes and just engage without trying to literally score points.
Thanks for being less and less like every day!
With the way sites seem to be deleting and pulling things off the internet or locking it behind ridiculous paywalls (only to then delete it like Infinity Train)
How do you cope with the fear or anxiety that comes with losing those things?
It's just something I've been struggling with lately, especially in how to put it to words. Some of the stuff I like is garbage, but it's really distressing when I think of something to show someone and I find that it's been deleted or the search terms I'd used before only link to ads or 
, which at this point is
.
I think there's a degree of acceptance I should reach about the loss of information, but it just feels so wrong right now. In a time and at a technological level where that doesn't have to happen.
It's his redemption arc!
