Ooh, I love s'mores.

Maybe he's just not confident in his own knowledge, and the context of talking about an OnlyFans convinced him that he'd misremembered the name.

A few years ago when I had to get a gym mat for my daughter, it was cheaper to cobble it together myself from twenty $5 footlongs. Nowadays I'm better off buying an actual gym mat!

People who don't have a lot of money tend also not to have time to cook delicious meals for themselves.

Uh huh. I'm sure that's what that guy is doing.

You couldn't find a "rule" pun for the title of this post? Really?

He was impeached. But then he was acquitted by Republicans.

I have been looking for more reasons to say, "The die is cast!"

If you're not accelerating towards the destruction of the system, then how are you destroying it?

Yeah, and I'm asking him what his other way is to do anti-electoralism. If it's not accelerationism, what is it? Don't worry; I already know the answer.

So there are "childfree" communities on the internet that are for adults who want to celebrate their choice to live their lives for themselves, without kids.

Then there are "anti-natalist" communities for people who believe anyone having children is morally wrong. Their mastery of ethics is roughly on par with a cartoon super villain.

Unfortunately the second type of community inevitably bleeds into the first type of community, so it's not always clear which one you're getting.

Anthem was discontinued after like a month. They kept the servers open but gave up pretty much right away.

Which is a shame, because the gameplay was fucking tight as hell. I loved that game. It could have been the next Destiny if they'd just kept it around long enough. The only reason it was received so poorly in the first place was because the internet hate machine didn't have enough fodder that month.

If you really believe in accelerationism, then vote for the fascists. That'll get us to the end quicker. If you can't bring yourself to do it, then maybe there's a reason for that.

Sitting around and not voting is either laziness or cowardice. Don't play dumb and pretend it's anything more than that.

Is that not a normal feeling? Because I felt that way long before things got this bad.

What migrate? This is the internet. I use reddit and Lemmy. Sometimes even in the same day!

Thank you for being the one to say it.

When I got a lawn, I didn't do anything to it. It gets mowed every two weeks, but that's it. After a particularly nasty drought most of the grass died. A few months later, clover started popping up on its own. It's much better than grass, and now a bunny likes to visit us.

Clean it, don't clean it, oil it, salt it, water it, "season it", season it by not cleaning it so your french toast gets all that good hamburger flavor from the night before...

I've read so many different ways to treat cast iron that at this point I'm convinced that it's all just superstition.

The super hero genre is an individualist power fantasy. It's about giving power to individuals, whereas in real life power rests in groups and systems. That includes the power to effect social change.

It's an escapist response to living in an impossibly complicated world where we want to do good, but we feel powerless and unable to.

The story of a character organizing a series of protests wouldn't really benefit from that character having super powers. Using super powers (physical force) to push political beliefs is terrorism.

So the constraints of the genre mean that social messages have to exist alongside the A-plot power struggle. And they frequently do.

Black Panther is about abandoning isolationism and using a government's power and wealth to help people.

The Avengers have an unmissable theme of not supporting the military-industrial complex. Same with Iron Man.

Common Marvel villains include fascists, bigots, businessmen, and corrupt law enforcement, in addition to the madmen and evil gods.

I've seen this point made a few times, and it just reeks of someone backfilling a reason to hate something popular without actually spending a moment to, you know, watch that thing.

Did you even watch the movie? They explain it right away!

Someone "blew it up" and the resulting explosion launched it into space.
