That does look neat! Thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah. I really want an animal-crossing style game that just doesn’t keep track of how long you were away.

But then they wouldn’t get to talk in 1337speak like a cool cyberpunk hacker.

Absolute braindead take

Can’t have a revolution without some bloodshed, and until we have a revolution ordinary people are going to continue dying by the thousands.

I mean, if you wanna look down your nose from up on your high horse, go ahead. But we’re dying down here. We’re being brutalized. I think we have a fucking right to cheer on the one person in recent memory to give us a tiny scrap of justice.

We get beaten and scapegoated anytime we have a peaceful protest. The ruling class has been asking for this for a long time.

Once you’re dead you’ve got no problems to cope with. Win win!

Honestly I don’t really even feel comfortable calling it murder. Brian Thompson killed more people than any serial killer in history. Like, I can sympathize with his family, or atleast his kids, I guess. But that doesn’t mean his death wasn’t 100% justified.

Others have addressed some of your other points, but

would you mind inventing a new word either for gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun, or one for what “they” mean to foreign English speakers

We actually have that. Xe / Xem / Xyrs. It isn’t very widely used though, and is generally considered a neo pronoun.

Honestly I don’t really expect it to get mainstream use anytime soon, in part because people are already accused to the singular They / Them / Theirs (except for when a nonbinary person asks to be refered to as such).

You recognizing it isn’t enough. We need more people to recognize it too, dipshit.

I don’t think I’ve ever noticed BC’s cute lil wiener till now.

Honestly I think the American right wing is counting on it. The generation of easily manipulated, brain-damaged dipshits who grew up in the leaded gasoline days have been instrumental in the GOP’a ability to gain and hold power. Anything that dumbs down the masses is good in their eyes. That’s why they attack our education system so hard.

This is honestly so terrifying. If I got COVID that bad, I definitely wouldn’t be able to pay rent.

Nah, it’s just from Skyrim.

Just two? They’ve been pushing a revolving multitude of lies since well before the 80’s.

Yeah.

Honestly I see Brian Thompson as way worse than this hypothetical drug dealer.

Obviously, the drug dealer is bad: he’s effectively killed people by selling fentanylaced drugs (presumably without telling his buyers what they were actually buying). But Brian has effectively killed thousands.

In both cases I have sympathy for the kids. In the drug dealers case, I might not be crying my eyes out about the death; but I still wish some form of non-lethal recourse had been taken. This person’s death doesn’t send a very effective message, as most other people in his position have already accepted the risk inherent to what they’re doing.

In Brian’s case, non-lethal recourse wouldn’t have been effective. If he was left alive he would’ve just kept killing people for his own profit, but his death sends a message to others in his position. People who usually wouldn’t see any sort of consequences for their actions.

I’m guessing they’re talking about the War on Drugs.

Honestly, what fastfood isn’t shit nowadays? Maybe some more local places, but national chains are all shit

Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get copycats. Enough of those and there might actually be some change.

I think a lot of school shooters don’t care if they get fame or infamy, they just don’t know how to get fame, but do know how to get infamy.

I’ve always said that about Texas, but Florida fits pretty well too.
