Using addictive as a descriptor for a video game is lazy and almost entirely inaccurate to the point you're trying to get across.
Balatro is not destroying the life of you and your loved ones, you just like the game

I cut addictive out of so many reviews. Unless you are talking about predatory mechanics that are literally designed to manipulate people in habit-forming ways, do not use it as "game is too fun!"

everyone is always choosing between two equally reactionary ideas--"elite pedophile cabal" vs "CSA is an overblown hysteria that causes witch hunts any time it's even mentioned"--because they are equally anti-feminist answers to a question that only feminists can answer. and no one wants that answer

sometimes i think about that thing a disco elysium dev said in response to someone asking why choosing fascist options lowers your morale. that being a fascist is miserable, since it requires you to believe that you are being dominated by the weak and unworthy in everything you do.

historically, that did in fact happen when the concept of handwashing before delivering babies was developed, and a lot of very offended male doctors killed a lot of women and infants as a result.
self-important wealthy men become offended when someone tells them to follow procedure, constantly.

I don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"
Mike Johnson speaks out against the use of judicial warrants in immigration cases:

this is no less inappropriate than if a cis man went “well, imagine if they were abusing boys too! it could’ve been me!” and should be treated the same way. just imagining things and scaring yourself instead of focusing on the actual victims. get counseling

I’m sure America will also be taking action any second now. Probably an incident where so many prosecutors tried to get into a door at once they all got stuck in and someone had to go find a stick to dislodge them.

Whistles are highly effective for both community defense and alerting people to the fact that there's an existential risk in their communities. If you are not centering the people who are fearing for their lives. families, and communities, I am not interested in whatever you have to say.

Seeing yet another 'using whistles is disablist' piece circulating: for the 40 millionth time, using disabled people as cover like this is disgusting and calculated to prey on people who are anxious about doing the wrong thing. Doesn't escape notice that white people are the worst offenders.

A thing I love about cooking shows is when contestants are like "I'm from [insert place] so you KNOW we're all about food!" and like, yeah, everyone in every culture (city, state, country, etc) loves their own food and is proud of it.
Is there anyplace that's like "All our food sucks! All of it!"

One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.
