  • the only person on the planet that believes influencers as far as I can throw them.

    This phrase doesn’t work though. Unless you’re some body builder type, and can throw them really really far.

    But even that doesn’t make sense either. Because if you said

    “I only trust this guy 18 feet…”

    the other person would say

    “…18 feet? What? What does THAT mean???”

    And you would say “What??? You think you can throw a man 19 feet??? Ok. Go grab him. Go. Go grab that man, and throw him 19 feet. Show me.”

    At about this time I think they would just call the cops, assuming you have mental problems, and violent tendancies.

    Which to be fair…yeah. You’re over here talking about how far you can pick another man up against their will, and how far you can throw them.

    Although, how have we never made that an olympic event? You get a bunch of fat guys in a bar, and some body builder muscleheads, and see who wins. If the fat guy can escape, his time to escape is measured. Fastest fat guy gets the medal. Or, if he gets thrown, farthest throw distance wins the medal.

    I’d watch that.


  • I’d accept the job, and then write the WORST assballs articles about how Mario isn’t trying to save the princess. He’s hunting her down to get more mushrooms. She’s not being kidnapped. She’s spending quality time with her husband. She’s not a princess. She works at a white castle. Which back in the 80s, still had some of the old royal castle buildings in use.

    And Luigi isn’t his frightened little brother who won’t go on adventures because he’s scared. He’s just some guy who cleans and flips houses.

    And Princess isn’t surrounded by her toads loyal servicemen. Those are dildos. Yes, ALL of them.

    And then when they reject my work, I’d be like “Oh…then you are NOT going to like my article of pacman taking drugs and being racist…”












  • When you watch a hockey game, and your team is down by 3 in the 3rd, with 10 minutes left on the clock…is a comeback possible? Absolutely. But you have to pay attention to the quality of play. If your team is consistantly getting quality chances that miss by inches, sure. It’s entirely plausible that one goes in, starts a rally, and you score 2 more in 9 minutes.

    But if the score is 3-0, and your team is lazily drifting on the ice, barely getting puck time, and then abandoning the puck through sloppy passes, and weak shot rebounds, then that 3-0 is everybit as intimidating as it sounds.

    And right now I don’t see an environment where society is hungrily fighting for the puck. I don’t see people demanding an alternative. I don’t see people making any progress towards even trying to dismantle big vorporate interests and control.

    I see a public that’s complacent. I see a public lazily saying they wish they could get rid of twitter, without finishing the thought process of how to do that.

    It would be like saying “Linux has more features and more privacy than windows, therefore it existing and having an audience will mean it will kill windows!”

    But forgetting to take into account that just because you’re passionate, doesn’t mean anybody else gives a shit. If they did, they’d already have switched. And the amount of people who have switched aren’t even enough to be worth mentioning the platform exists.




  • But that’s not what you said.

    Not associating with them is fine. I even said “Teach them to distance themselves from conservatives” in my reply. But there is a HUGE difference between not talking to someone, and randomly punching them in the face.

    I’m not conservative. But if someone, male or female, or trans, or whomever, if they punched me in the face for no reason I’m punching them in the face right back. And I’m the type of person who doesn’t start fights, but once I’m in one I do end fights.

    Now imagine if it were a conservative who ENJOYED hitting women. Imagine they didn’t need a reason, but you just started a fight with them for no reason.

    You can end your interaction based on politics, sure. That’s not insane. What is insane is teaching your daughters to go around inciting violence by themselves against a group of people who’s core belief is that women should suffer. It would be like a 1940s Jew in Germany going out and punching a nazi. It’s not going to end well.



  • Well that just sounds every bit as batshit insane as the far right. Basically giving them justification in their minds for being so cruel to women.

    “This one bitch just punched me, for like…no reason. I just said I voted for trump, and then BAM! Shit! She punched me!”

    “What did you do then?”

    “Oh, a bunch of my boys saw. We held her down and beat her mercilessly. That’ll teach her!”

    “Nice.”

    And they’ll feel justified. All you’re doing is teaching your daughters how to encourage physical violence, which I promise you, will not wofk out well for them.

    Teach them to distance themselves from conservatives, teach them their beliefs, and how they view women. Teach them how a conservative will treat them in the long run.

    But don’t teach them to physically attack someone stronger than them, unprovoked, against someone who would take pleasure in returning the violence tenfold.
