The final test of if video games are really 'art' is if they can take on greater weight in hard times.

Police said they had been called to the residence 22 times
It’s time we talk about what kind of men are attracted to being ICE agents
Hint: It’s men who would strangle a woman

And the think is that Varoufakis can correctly register this stupidity when it's about Cyprus, as his party's position on the Cyprus conflict is actually fairly sensible, names "the Turkish Deep state" as the main obstacle to reunification and demands withdrawal of Turkish troops as a key condition.

It's genuinely kind of insane how many people seem to believe that the right to drive a car is a constitutionally protected right but the right to own a gun is not
I don’t like three strikes laws but a 41yr old woman who’s been arrested over 100 times - that’s an average of an arrest a quarter FOR HER ENTIRE ADULT LIFE - simply should not be on the streets. We have a right to be safe from such criminals
A man is dead after he was struck by an SUV while walking his dogs Saturday morning in Hopkinton, RI. Police say the driver was arrested. She had previously been arrested over 100 times. on.nbcboston.com/XEE5YAX

I'm re-watching Magnum P.I. and I can't believe how vastly superior the 1980s ideal of masculinity is, vs today's whining, lying misogynist edgelord ideal that we see in culture all the way up to the Presidency.
The 50's stereotypical man had at least some other things to offer. Typically noble or stoic. Perhaps serving the greater good. Instead it's now a bunch of energy drink selfish neurotics who spend too much time at the gym and have no developed personality at all but being online.
