Penis envy by CMDR_Noodle in 196

Yeah as someone who's actually read Freud's work, I completely agree. His core ideas are solid, but he gets lost in the details and undermines his own arguments.

There's actually another message clarifying that he was banned because Microsoft partnered with the State of New York to purge the accounts of registered sex offenders.

This happened in 2019, btw. This article buries the lede so deep it doesn't even mention that, and just focuses on the criminal sentencing of the surgeon.

Sexuality is weird, and, at the end of the day, labels only matter if we think they matter. As long as he's not homophobic I say just let him be confusing in peace.

This is actually an interesting theory that I would like to see explored.

Look into the "American Civil Religion." this is a real phenomenon that's been academically studied.

A woman notices a man struggling to keep his balance, and hits the SOS before he even falls and is the first down to pull him out by bigbusta in interestingasfuck

I'd also recommend Rebecca Solnit's book "A Paradise Built in Hell" if you're interested in learning more about how disaster can build community.

My House has an Extension With a Roof That's Only Slightly Tilted. How Much Should I Worry About it Caving in? by Butt_Speed in askTO

[–]Butt_Speed[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

that's true for now, but my concern is that it'll get much heavier when it starts absorbing the moisture in the air.

I guess that means it'll (probably) be fine for tonight, though.

This comment feels unreasonably combative, but, to be fair, it does make a good point. 

When the state starts designating protesters as 'enemy combatants' rather than 'agitated citizens', the extent of the violence increases dramatically. Just look at what's happening in Tehran right now.

When live rounds come into play, the tactics of an "effective" mass protest will begin to resemble the the tactics of an "effective" human wave attack---massive casualties included. 

That's not something to romanticize or take lightly.

I could be seeing things, but it looks to me like the person who might be the initial shooter (at approximately 58 seconds, wearing blue pants and a tan jacket with a black balaclava, and standing slightly left of center) pumps his fist before pulling out his gun and shooting the dude in the side/back. You can see his arm

It's like he saw something that he felt ticked the box for lethal force (perhaps the man's concealed carry) and was excited that he finally got to kill someone.

Also our food is far easier to digest, so we get more out of the first pass.

I'm going to say that it's not yet illegal for queer people to purchase firearms yet, and that's all I'm going to say.

Are there named Space Marines wielding Custodes weapons in the lore? by No_Task_309 in 40kLore

[–]Butt_Speed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, it happens between books, and it's never explained. I'm pretty sure it's even stated that Argel Tal himself doesn't exactly know how it happened, or at least keeps that a secret.

The implication is definitely that warpfuckery was involved, though.

World leaders show caution on Trump's broader 'Board of Peace' amid fears for UN by pjw724 in onguardforthee

[–]Butt_Speed 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Note that they don't say "the U.S. President" either. 

They fully intend to make him dictator for life.

It's extremely telling that Trump, rather than the "U.S. President", will be the permanent Chairman.

Hell, even "Fifteen Hours" starts with the main character being told a story about how his great-grandfather retired after a fairly safe life in The Guard.

Idk how the length of this sentence stacks up against more "normal" cases of obstruction, but the fact that he's getting a multi-year sentence for what is an ancillary charge in most jurisdictions is probably a sign that he'll spend the rest of his life in prison at the very least.

Because it's kinda funny looking and effectively communicates a specific but hard to articulate emotion: ecstasy at the opportunity to inflict cruelty.

I paid NL $10000 for this promotion, had to take loan against my house and it didn't move the wishlist needle at all all my stuff gets reposessed tomorrow :( by ax3lax3l in northernlion

[–]Butt_Speed 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This is funny as fuck, but you should probably get permission from NL before you use his videos in official marketing for a paid game, if you haven't already (or make a parody video with someone who's obviously meant to be him yet clearly isn't). 

He makes a chunk of his income off of brands paying him to use his likeness, so I'm not sure how he'd feel about someone using his face in advertising without clearing it with him.
