My version of this would be to run a campaign on the basis of “You know Joe Manchin, and how he’s an absolute thorn in the side of the Democratic Party? Well, how about we elect a Republican version of him, who is technically a Republican but who is a goddamn pain in the ass for the Republican party! Vote for me, and I’ll live rent free in every Republican’s head and drive them absolutely fucking crazy!”

For those confused and thinking that the Wicked Witch of the West was somehow aging backwards after faking her death and escaping from Oz:

Step 1: Ban porn.

Step 2: ???

Step 3: Profit

Which will work fine until they are no longer needed. Once they’ve given all their power to the fascists, they’ll suddenly find themselves very much redundant.

Broke: Nothing matters.

Woke: Nothing matters!

Bespoke: 🎼🎶🎵 Nooothing! 🎶🎵 MAAAaaatters!! 🎶🎵

If 800,000 government workers go on strike just for starters, with who knows how many more in other fields striking in solidarity, there won’t be enough cops in the world to make them all to back to work.

You know what I miss? The Ultimate Alliance games from the PS2 era. Isometric view. Build a four-person team of Marvel characters. Some team combinations grant group buffs, like having all four members of the Fantastic Four will increase your XP gain. Equip your characters. Pick from an array of comic canon costumes, each with their own abilities. Some combinations of equipment or costumes will also grant bonuses like having everyone wear their Age of Apocalypse costume.

The whole thing is an action RPG where you play through some big comic book crisis. Lots of opportunity for villain and hero interaction. Cool cinematics.

It’s a rock-solid platform, but I don’t feel like I see it used nearly enough. I remember playing an Ultimate Alliance on 360 and it just wasn’t as good; smaller roster, fewer costumes, less interesting in general, despite the better graphics.

I vaguely recall hearing something about one on the Switch and that Midnight Sons was a bit similar… but then again I don’t recall hearing much else about those games except for their existence, so they can’t have done very well.

I only just learned about it today, myself. I work that day, but I might be able to shift things around.

I really wish that these protests were more widely shared in advance. I want to be involved, but only getting a couple of days advance warning makes it really hard. I know that sometimes you have to act fast, but if you want your movement to succeed then you’ve got to try to consider the real lives of all of the people who want to help, but are also really limited in their time. Plan protests on weekends, and if you’ve got to protest on a weekday, then plan it way ahead of time and give everyone a chance to plan to be there. I’m sure it looks better to have one big protest with 10X people there than ten protests with 1X people attending.

How does this hold up against a first amendment test?

This is the really real world!

83 people died. If a proportionate number had died in the United States, he’d have killed 129,348 people.

I honestly think it might be even stupider than that.

You ever find yourself acting out a fucked up allegorical image in real life as part of your day job?

What OS are you using? I was trying to use my Anbernic with wireless controllers, but the default OS keeps forgetting the mapping on the controllers every time I switch to a different game and it was impractical to have to keep remapping them over and over.

Proverbs 26:18-19

Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death,

Is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “I was only joking!”

I also would like the answer to this question.

Oh my God, what if they cashed them all at once and emptied out America’s checking account.

I hate how plausible this sounds.

Dipshits, ex-boyfriends, and imbeciles.
