Yeah. Fuck Jagged Peak. There was literally zero playtesting put into this area, or its bosses.

Junk on top of junk on top of junk. Embarrassingly bad.

What makes PlanetSmasher so annoying is the same stuff that makes a bad streamer: blaming the game for his own failures.

Is he complaining about DLC for a game he hates in a genre he is fundamentally terrible at playing? 

He knows he can just NOT play it, right? 

Is he so desperate to be part of the "in crowd" he will waste money on something he doesn't like just so he can be part of the discussion? 

What a fucking idiot.

Is not even that he sucks at video games, but that he sucks at games while not even enjoying it.  People can enjoy something while sucking, but Smasher sounds like he is paid to be miserable in the forum.

Y'all should rather be prepared to resort to violence as a means to protect your livelihood.

The age of resting your laurels on non-violent passivity is over, and I would further say that's only been true for someone who is white.

I don't think he will win, but the part I'm worried about is when he loses. How much is the GOP going to do to try and force him into the white house anyway? I fully expect conspiracies and more calls for violence, with just enough plausible deniability to say they were just joking or something after more people die.

The US is going to be forced to help, we all know that the US will absolutely step into this war. It'll look pretty crazy to the world if Israel home of Jewish people, a country that raised from the ashes of the Holocaust and ontop of the bodies of millions of Palestinians is obliterated by evil MUZLIMS. So like it or not, the US will probably be yet another fucking war.

There's only five million Palestinians. Where are these millions of bodies coming from?

What countries are they imagining the U.S. has to help Israel fend off? Like I said in us politik thread:

They're Americans so they literally do believe that our handful of billions funds Israel's entire war machine. Israel is a foreign country, especially one in the "shithole" regions, so they can't even comprehend that it's a modern first world economy with leading technology enterprises.

Which fucking infuriates me. Teachers should be able to do adult things with other adults and not be dragged through the mud just because their day job involves dealing with children.

Yup. She should lose her teaching job because she's a MAGA chud, not because she made a sex joke.

It's pretty funny that Yanks think it's inappropriate for a child care worker to make a joke about sex when sex is what leads to that person having a job in the first place.

Why are you all so prudish about everything?

This is what the gays understood with their push for equal rights. Small victories, consolidated over time, eventually lead to normalisation and a cultural shift.

thing is, now I'm not sure if "the gays" were collectively smarter, or if it just happened at the right time when humanity wasn't a mass of drooling reactionary idiots

if they didn't have gay rights yet today, I feel like the movement would now look identical to the trans one and everyone would be telling them to fuck off

No, because the whole reason why the Trans movement has any traction is leeching on the Gay movement to begin with. Would no be identical because the basis of one depends of the legitimacy of the other one. That’s why old trans people are often so exasperated on how modern trans youth acts, they take a lot of things for granted.

There was a concentrated effort in the gay rights movement to downplay the sex-obsessed freaks and make the case that they were harmless normies who just wanted to get married. There was also a resistance to this, that it was selling out to heterosexuality.

There is also the fundamental difference that gay rights was about actually focused on being left alone or treated equally, it wasn't based around a demand that everyone else had a duty to participate and obey.

It also helps that the gays aren't obsessed with grooming children and destroying beloved IPs.

Regarding the hawk tuah girl, "preschool teachers" aren't teachers; they're babysitters.

I don't disagree. Most 100&200 level classes at big universities are taught by the TAs and they are basically just there to babysit.

haha oh it's clever satire, I see now, they're coming to CONVERT THEM TO BEING TOLERANT PEOPLE, oh you scamps

like saying you're going to come inside them...come inside their hearts to instill better values!

gonna cover them with your seed...yeah, seeds of new ways of thinking and tolerance!

going to seduce them into the back of your white van with candy...your van filled with LGBT-friendly books they can take to enrich their understanding!

see when you understand the full context of what they're saying, that makes it totally okay!

The inherent irrationality of religion combined with the absolute brutality of climate change sure is a dangerous combo.

Rest in peace, pilgrims.

This is a horrible thing to say in a thread about 1000+ dead Muslims. Your rest in peace is so backhanded that it reads as sarcastic.

It's absolutely baffling to me, an outsider, that ~50% of the electorate in the United States of America are so fucking stupid as to vote for Donald Trump into office a second time. The country is in a serious state of disrepair, ethically and intellectually.
