Me: ... I mean, yeah, but how is THIS genetic???

Conservatives were asked to stay indoors for awhile in other to not die and they're going to do their damnedest to kill humanity in order to avenge the sense of emasculation they felt at being asked to do something they didn't want to do
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.

It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.

And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

Here’s an idea: we build a society where people aren’t rich and can’t buy private islands and have private planes

The running theme between the Epstein story, banning trans healthcare for minors, religious homeschooling and the complaints about adult children estranging themselves is a fundamental American belief that children are property with no rights of their own
America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities.

The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.
Government of pedophiles. They're all tainted with this for the rest of their lives.

if benoit blanc had to solve a killing on lego island he would likely latch onto pepper roni as his guide through the complexities of this twisted web he finds himself in

Caves of Qud update: poured warm static on my dog, it turned into a dromad trader that comes with guards and items. They are all my dog, the whole trade party and merchandise. I convinced my dog to sell me my dog for free while my dog, my dog, my dog and my dog were standing guard.

And that's why a just and loving God ordained the creation of Limbo: for unbaptized infants, virtuous pagans, and the Muppets.
the line is actually "no JESUS for us meeses," an oblique reference to the fact that, as muppets are unable to take communion, they are forbidden from entering the kingdom of god

Before the internet boom, games tended to be local phenomena, with their own play culture grown from whoever could be bothered to read the manual, or what they learned word of mouth from peers. The idea there ever was one monoculture of TTRPG cultures is just a lie. It's always just been tables.

When I interviewed Lee Gold for the backmatter of DIE, one of the things which struck me was her arguing that they played things they considered roleplaying games PRIOR to D&D. So one could argue Theatre Kids have been incredibly patient with everyone else who colonised their hobby.

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.
115 Democrats just voted to codify the first federal trans segregation law.

Pro Tip: a trans woman who gets accused of being "male socialized" would just be called some combination of "difficult", "angry", "shrill", or "a bitch" if she was cis.
