I think it has more to do with the fact that the government can’t do anything right in these people’s eyes, so whatever they do is wrong and must be opposed.

Certain political party before the government took corona measures: “WE NEED A LOCKDOWN! THIS VIRUS IS KILLING PEOPLE! THE GOVERNMENT IS COMPLICIT TO MURDER! TAKE THEM TO COURT!”

Same political party immediately after the government took corona measures: “WE NEED TO END THE LOCKDOWN! SOCIAL ISOLATION IS KILLING PEOPLE! THE GOVERNMENT IS COMPLICIT TO MURDER! TAKE THEM TO COURT!”

yeah I guess that's reactionary politics in a nutshell and the reason why [certain political party] would probably implode after getting in the government and not just in the opposition.

there's a precedent with the supposed proto version of this party in the early 2000s
and it'd likely be the same with [lavender scented political party]

my uh... least charitable interpretation of these is that they're just ways to make money off the backs of uninformed people now

[Skipper]

Luckily [certain political party] already seems to be eating itself from the inside. Unluckily, if history is anything to go by, another copy will probably rise up from its ashes if it ever were to collapse. That process has been going on for decades now, and they’re all running on the same message.

Or they’ll stick around without ever contributing anything meaningful while all the time loudly complaining about “career politicians”, completely missing the irony of having become one themselves. Like [other certain political party].

Regarding your last point: Glorious Lavender Boy himself at least seems to honestly believe in all the nutter stuff he’s spouting.

[Skipper]

Overall it’s maddening that the political climate has become so polarized. Honest debate on political issues has become all but impossible, everything’s been reduced to the false dichotomy of “left” versus “right”, to such a degree that those terms have lost all their meaning.

hot take scooby-doo was actually a funny show

Scooby-Doo taught us a very important lesson: All of life's problems are actually caused by old white men who create fake boogeymen to trick the masses into thinking are the real problem.

There is no graceful way to stand up from a bean bag.
The shifting Styrofoam balls in the bag combining with the very low seating height makes it almost impossible to simply stand up.

apparently "what's the deal with airline peanuts" was part of seinfeld's standup routine

i always thought it was a meme people came up with, like "hey lois, remember the time..."

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

holy crap lois, remember the time

[SlateSlabrock]

This is as bad as the time I ate AIRLINE PEANUTS with JERRY SEINFELD!

[Gloomy Rube]

i will not be taking questions

how does it feel to be correct all the time

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

amazing!

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

wait, i took a question

[RIP Syndrome]

oh no


how horrible


whatever shall you do

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

denial

[Perpetual Motion]

Travel back in time and stop yourself from taking the question.

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

can't

[Perpetual Motion]

Travel forward in time (the normal way) far enough for someone to invent backwards time travel, travel back in time, and stop yourself from taking the question.

I've never felt less patriotic in my life than on this, the day of our nation's birth

I've never felt less patriotic in my life than on this, the day of our nation's birth

I remember when the Internet would be covered with puffed-up American patriotism in the form of tacky GIFs and videos and such. Used to be that was funny, even in the Bush years, and under the Obama administration there might have even been a hint of sincerity to it. But it quickly dropped off starting in 2017 and nowadays patriotism seems like a hateful joke.

in an effort to understand what games i even like i wrote down all the genres i liked, don't like and am ambivalent on

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

i dislike more genres than i like

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

this explains some things

[Mr. Big]

When you're doing animation, I learned something: LABEL YOUR LAYERS

[Mr. Big]

I lost count how many times I had to click random layers to get the one I want

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

why do that when i can name everything

sssssssssddddddd

jfghghg

and of course

1111111111

[Mr. Big]

I mean, in my case it was more "Drawing 1", "Drawing 2", etc. That's the default name ToonBoom gives to each layer, unless you change it.

[Skipper]

I prefer the “Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of Copy of x” scheme

[DaikatunaRevengeance]

powerful

[Gloomy Rube]

give them human names

this layer is Pamela, and this one is Robert

[DaikatunaRevengeance]
