What I wanna know is why Games Workshop hasn't sued the Catholic Church for so blatantly ripping off Warhammer 40k.

Technically that only applies to statements made ex cathedra, the pope can say whatever he wants on and Catholics can disagree with him, so long as he's not sitting on his special chair.

I thought about making a political compass meme with a different tweet in each corner but then I remembered that the political compass is shit.

Something I've realized with them is that liberals are just completely incurious about the world. They just want to repeat the stuff they know over and over forever, it's the same arguments every time. You can't discuss things like history or theory or really anything that isn't about signaling you're on their side in the presidential race. It sucks.

I do it but only because I'm a debate pervert

Laugh all you want but I genuinely think Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame planted some seeds in my young mind. Like, the bad guy is a religious conservative who is obsessed with hunting down immigrants and minorities, and burns shit down and violates civil rights to do satisfy his obsession (which is driven by sexual pathology). Generic Hero Guy defects from the military over it and leads a popular uprising, and the bad guy is dragged down to hell. I'm not saying it's good, but I am saying that you couldn't make that movie post-9/11 because it would have been a call to action to overthrow the US government.

"Do you want Ukraine to win this war?"

[Edited] "I want the war to stop. I want to save lives that are being uselessly - people being killed by the millions, it's so much worse than the numbers that you're getting. We're in for $250 billion or more, because they don't ask Europe [blah blah blah] that being said, I wanna get the war settled. Putin and Zelensky respect me, they don't respect Biden, he hasn't even made a phone call to Putin in two years, he hasn't spoken to anybody, they don't even try and get it. That is a war that is dying to be settled. That war would've never happened. When I saw Putin building up soldiers, I said, "Oh, he must be negotiating, it must be a good strong point of negotiation," well it wasn't, because Biden had no idea how to talk to him, he had no idea how to stop it, and now you have millions of people dead, and it's only getting worse, and it could lead to World War III. Don't kid yourself David, we're playing with World War III."

"Your time is up, but just to clarify, do you believe it's in the US best interest for Ukraine to win this war?"

"I think it's in the US best interest to get this war finished, negotiate a deal, and get it finished, because we have to stop all these human lives from getting destroyed.

She said it was an existential threat and that she was proud to have increased gas production to an all time high.

Came to talk about the draft.

They got a building down New York City, it's called Whitehall Street, where you walk in, you get injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected. I went down to get my physical examination one day, and I walked in, I sat down, got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning. 'Cause I wanted to look like the all-American kid from New York City, man I wanted, I wanted to feel like the all-, I wanted to be the all American kid from New York, and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, brung down, hung up, and all kinds o' mean nasty ugly things. And I waked in and sat down and they gave me a piece of paper, said, "Kid, see the phsychiatrist, room 604."

And I went up there, I said, "Shrink, I want to kill.

I mean, I wanna, I wanna kill. Kill. I wanna, I wanna see, I wanna see blood and gore and guts and veins in my teeth. Eat dead burnt bodies. I mean kill, Kill, KILL, KILL."

And I started jumpin up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL, " and he started jumpin up and down with me and we was both jumping up and down yelling, "KILL, KILL." And the sargent came over, pinned a medal on me, sent me down the hall, said, "You're our boy!"

Didn't feel too good about it.

They include the nobility and every Briton who ever achieved anything of note.

Wow, this meme is really harsh towards French/Normans.

A Hexbear once told me that Pol Pot did nothing wrong and everyone who wears glasses deserves to die, and a bunch of other Hexbears agreed.

That said, I voted for him in the last election, and I will again out of harm reduction. He has improved on policy, but l even if he didn’t, the American people do not get a vote on whether or not to elect a senile President this cycle.

You can have any President you like, as long as he’s senile. If you vote, we’ll get a senile President. If you don’t, we’ll get a senile President.

The question is whether you want senile and gleefully cruel®, or just senile(D). I’ll take just senile.

screm-aAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 
 

This pic goes so hard, it's hard to believe this is the source (CW: transphobia)

They are called transfem feet and transmasc feet. The conversions to Standard Burger Units (sbu) are as follows:

1 foot (transfem) = 1.1 foot (sbu)

1 foot (sbu) = 1.1 foot (transmasc)

If you're a transfem who would be 6' (sbu), you are now 5'5" (tf). If you're transmasc and would be 5'5" (sbu), you are now 6' (tm).

These new units could help marginally with height dysphoria, and the only tradeoff is being extremely confusing.

Thank you and you're welcome.

 

I know some of the basics but I'm still confused about certain rules. When does an S become a SS and when does it become a $ (and what about $$)? I also don't know how to handle words that don't have an S or a K in them.

I was hoping to translate the core BDS list, but some of them are proving challenging:

  • HP (Hewlett Packard)
  • Siemans
  • AXA
  • SodaStream
  • Ahava
  • Sabra
  • Puma
  • Israeli fruits and vegetables

I was thinking something like HeWaffen PacKKKard and SSodaSStream but I'm not sure about the rest.

Thanks.

Edit: Forgot to list Puma

I'm going to an event soon and the last time I was there there were some of those awful street preachers with megaphones shouting bigotry. They're a nuisance and nobody wants them there, but it's a public festival and evidentially they're allowed to be there.

I tried looking online (reddit-logo)and most of the advice was stupid lib shit, ranging from, "Call the cops and tell them they're violating statute blah blah blah" or, "Just ignore them, you can't change their minds and engaging just feeds their persecution complex." Obviously the cops do nothing, I don't care about changing their minds or what they think I just want to shut them up. But I also don't want to get arrested and if possible, it'd be nice to avoid disturbing the other people further.

Most likely, I'm just gonna have to endure it, but I thought I'd raise the question for brainstorming bc it feels like a common enough situation that other people will encounter it too. Best I can think is screaming something back at them emilie-shrug

UPDATE: I ended up just wearing a bunch of pride stuff and then they weren't even there lol
