I was thinking “why would Bill be going to the mat for this” and then it got to the part where he uses it to try to excuse the church’s sex abuse scandal and everything clicked
Holy shit. They're really doing it. They're doing "actually pedophilia is good now." The debasement of the American Right is complete.

the subtly funniest part of this review is "33.8 hours on record (3.4 hours at review time)".
this happened to them, they shut it off, left this review, walked away, came back, and put 30 more hours in.
that's Dungeon Encounters.

A tour de force of minimalist design! Absolute marvelous exercise in the power of ellipsis! Also? Just really fun!
Cannot recommend this game enough to anyone who wants to see some of the best JRPG designers narrow the genre down to the very core pieces. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

Everyone is dunking on this bc of the weirdness/cosplay aspect, which is fair, but the thing that jumps out to me as most worthy of pushback here is the pretense that she’s an apolitical person

More Americans are turning to peptides for muscle building, skin rejuvenation, and to live longer, even though the substances aren’t FDA approved. Doctors warn that none have undergone adequate clinical trials and the supposed benefits are unproven.

loads of problems would be resolved in our society if we embraced two truths:
1) sometimes you need to shut the fuck up and mind your own business
2) sometimes being mildly inconvenienced is essential for society to function and that starts at an interpersonal level

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
