Fuck tankies and ruscists as well. Release the Epstein files.

Back to hiatus. I will be on Discord as always; Bluesky needs better people running it.

And, if you're thinking that I'm referring to "National Socialism" by "democratic socialism", you're full of shit. "National Socialism" is *literally Nazis*; it's fascist horseshit couched in faux-patriotic rhetoric. Twist my words at your own peril.

Anyway, fuck Nazis, fuck pedos, fuck MAGA.

Practical reality is that democratic socialism, with or without capitalist elements, seems generally the best overall way to go when you're actually concerned about your country's populace; I.E. health, happiness, wealth, production, etc.; the US's "die for the economy" shit ain't it either.

For the record, I think communism-- I.E. of the Marxist/Leninist variety-- can work in small scale, like in a factory or a small commune. Take it to anything beyond superlocal level, though, and it falls flat on its ass.

East Germany and the Soviet Bloc are not exactly my civic wet dreams, folks.

Meal Team Six up in this bitch.

That it does.

Funnily enough I just put that on my PSP.

I was more talking about the arcade sequels-- Detana!!, Yahho!, etc.

A challenging classic. Give the later entries a crack too, and avoid black bells if you do.

I just see two of the same picture here. Which one's which?

The original Japanese title is "Aa! Megami-sama!" which is translated both as "Ah! My Goddess!" and "Oh My Goddess!"; the Dark Horse Comics translation of the manga used the latter title, all other known localizations used the former.

In all known English localizations the character's always been called "Belldandy" because the Norse "Verþandi" doesn't gel with Japanese, the closest being "Berudandi". It's a Norse→Japanese→English dealio; it's like how the blonde demon girl's either "Mara" or "Marller" depending on who you ask.

Heh, nice.

JC: *lipsmack* Also, bofa deez nuts.

Lucah.
I didn't get the opportunity to do so on that post, but...quite honestly **you do not look a day over thirty**. It shocked the shit outta me to hear that you're almost 50, quite honestly.

I mean this with the greatest of respect:
You've aged like a fine Goddam' whiskey.

Awwww she done got the 'rona. Awwwwwww.

I don't wish her dead but if I see an obituary I will read it with great interest.

Side Pocket's a pretty solid title. There's obviously more realistic billiards games out there (the Virtual Pool series comes to mind).

Yep. This story'll be out of the news cycle in a hurry now that it's a confirmed right-winger who pulled the trigger. Can't have one of "Theirs™" looking bad.

I do think the world's better off without him, honestly; that said, I still do not celebrate anything about him, whether his life OR death.

Aside from my natural empathy towards his family, I would rather forget he ever existed and move on.
