At this point I think anyone denying what he did is just unable to reconcile these three things, because reality unfortunately doesn’t conform to any comfortable narrative.

I thought Spencer Crittenden was the one who identified him

Back in 2000 Orson Scott Card wrote a book about a kid who is so good at posting he becomes the king of the world and I can almost guarantee you every millennial man in Trump’s admin read it.

Tim Heidecker running InfoWars feels like the Earth rebalancing itself after Bari Weiss got CBS.

I never claimed Christianity is morally good, that was actually the point of my post. All I did was take issue with one thing you said and explained why I don’t think it’s a good example. I’m not sure what argument you think you’re having but it doesn’t seem to involve me. Cheers.

Yeah and I’m saying when you reduce all that to “eating babies” in a pithy list of crazy stuff in the Bible you eschew that nuance and make it sound like something much more historically nefarious. I don’t particularly care if that’s your intent, I just wanted to clarify.

Look, there’s plenty of terrible stuff in the Bible without taking warnings of starvation out of context to sound like literal Blood Libel just to prove that point. Remember when you’re talking about the Old Testament you’re talking about Jews, not Christians.

The end cap on an era

I don’t think there will ever be another Jurassic Park culturally

All these cases are talking specifically about severe famine under siege - Donner party type shit. There’s a lot of terrible stuff in the Bible without sensationalizing it into baby eating.

Eating babies as punishment? Who? Where?

Atheists are often asked by Christians where they derive their morality from if not from God, and I think it’s interesting that the Christofascists in office decided to team up with the atheists with the most horrifying answers to those questions.

Cannot wait for the once in a lifetime work lore drop opportunity to casually mention my granddaughter.

Very excited to read a study on bias by the New York Post

The breakfast sausage flavored chicken stick is a textural gamble but when it hits it’s great.

Is this a real person or did someone give the most foppish dandy they could find a time machine?

Bringing back a gambit when you don’t need it is just losing on purpose.

What they’re describing is “swing voters” and securing their support is what a campaign is.

Wait so their opinions don’t count because they don’t vote but also she was counting on them to win and it’s their fault she didn’t? Makes perfect sense.

I wonder how much money American political streamers are losing now that Orban is out of power. Seems well timed with Tim Pool’s shift.

I remember getting a Google Glass demo at my office in Temecula in 2013 from the person who was pulled over later that day for wearing them while driving, and everyone I worked with thought the novelty was horrifically offset by the privacy implications.

Yeah a walking sim should be largely on rails. It's a guided tour through an environmental story.

"Fascist" is the only slur fascists actually care about. A hit dog will holler.

Makes me mad that people apply it to any game that involves walking now if it isn't deemed sufficiently action-oriented. Like I like walking simulators, I like Death Stranding, but they aren't the same kind of game. Death Stranding is a Harvest Moon game.

I wonder why Karp put the white supremacist stuff at the very end of his Palantir cult manifesto if he’s so proud of his ideas

If two men parenting a kid scares Matt then Full House must be a nightmare show. But of course a gay single father living with his sister would also disturb him, because it has nothing to do with role models or household composition or anything, he just wants gay people away from kids.

This is how I use Facebook, shouting into the void except there’s a small chance I get a response from someone I forgot I even knew.

No breadlines, just food insecurity

Only got one RSD release this year but it was the one I was most interested in

Says something about his philosophy, not even just his own personal incuriosity masked as rationality, that he managed to foster an entire community around his writing that considers themselves very smart indeed and none of them thought this was a considerable risk either.
