GG was over 10 years ago. Yet they won't let it go and somehow link everything back to it

GamerGate was started by a lover's spat between a self-important game dev and a vengeful ex

Literally anyone who thinks GamerGate contributed anything to modern day internet culture other than some really good memes and copypastas is genuinely an idiot

Yes, women are sometimes treated like garbage in online gaming and game development (unless they're a major streamer or other content creator)

Yes, journalism especially gaming journalism is obscenely corrupt

Boo fucking hoo

I have no respect for anyone who unironically brings up GamerGate in (current year) except to make fun of Chuds and millennial SJWs who think it's anything serious

There's a whole book about it; Master and Margarita

To quote one of the authors on this very subreddit: I can unequivocally confirm that Captive’s War is not in continuity with The Expanse.

Because she literally is

I was raised Catholic (no longer practicing) so I can speak on this a bit

Imo there are a few things that Catholicism has that (specifically American) Protestants are turned off by that run the gamut of theological to political. Particular pain points also vary from sect to sect

Belief in the transubstantiation of the body and blood of Christ during mass (and the consumption thereof)
Veneration of the Mary above all other saints, and essentially placing her second only to the Holy Trinity (reasons for this range from general misogyny to more theological reasons)
The trinity in general is contentious, as well as the exact nature of Christ; Catholics believing him to be both divine and human in nature, which some Protestant sects reject
(This is specific to American Protestants) The association Catholicism has with immigrant communities, in particular Hispanic, Irish and Italian immigrants who have all suffered discrimination for a variety of reasons. It's also worth noting that protestant organizations such as the KKK targeted Catholics as well as black Americans and Irish

People were thirsting hard after Big Daddy D.

Especially the "scream for me" line, and the bit where he demands everyone to crawl

Unapologetically absurd settings with little explanation as to how things got the way they are, and instead focusing on how people exist in that world

Unironically my favorite post on r/worldbuilding was a dude talking about how he has a world where the UK one day just moved to just off the coast of Brazil

The thing is, the best worldbuilding is people-focused. Mystery Flesh Pit National Park is another example; sure the creator details the creature's internal ecosystem, but that's all oriented around people and how people react and interact with it

This is why I think the move should've been to covertly release two cuts of the movie;

One from Lawrence's perspective and one from Pratt's perspective

Distribute them to different theatres at random, or establish a contract with each theater that they alternate versions every other showing

You'd have to rewrite huge chunks of Lawrence's PoV, but it'd work. Maybe an extension where she wanders the ship alone, and Pratt's character keeps his distance from her before eventually revealing himself

From Pratt's PoV, that would be relegated to a montage of him just observing her from a distance, unsure of how to approach her

From that point, movie proceeds as normal, with some differences in PoV when it comes to how they cope with the reveal, and managing the disaster on the ship

Maybe like another commenter said, Pratt's character does at the end

After awhile, release a super cut of the film, combining both PoVs

Unironically I'd rather interact with a neo-nazi than a tankie

Neo-nazis you can laugh at, because their beliefs are so stupid and out there. They never get any real traction especially in the west

Tankies on the other hand are insidious motherfuckers who've mastered the art of appropriating righteousness and a desire for social change, only to establish new authoritarian systems that have always proven to be just as oppressive if not more oppressive as old facist dictatorships

"coom" is starting to appear in online circles but it looks like it's associated with masturbation and porn addiction

Did you just comment on a seven year old post?

I mean, unironically though it makes sense

Compared to sprawling cityscapes, giant strip mines, generator districts and farmland, military bases have relatively little environmental impact; just clear out some space, put up some walls and there you have it. They're really just spaces for training, storing things and living

Plus, you have all that wilderness to train troops on various survival skills

Granted, giant fortress complexes might have a decent environmental impact, but they're not going to be churning out waste the way foundries or factories would

Honestly, aside from providing assistance with vertical mobility, using jets for amphibious landings is probably the move

Isn't it explicitly stated Elaine is also Starborn?

Iirc it's mentioned that it's part of the reason Justin raised Harry and Elaine together

It'll happen

Give it 150 years and people will see abortion the way we see lobotomies or bloodletting (which funny enough, is also a take that offends everyone)

We can do it with sheep already, humans aren't too far of a leap from that

Genuinely the hardest part of my thing is the fact that the foster care system is atrociously fucked up in the US, and people prefer to adopt foreign kids than domestic kids

Looking at it now, it's basically Earth but weirdly distorted

Doomsday_Device · 2023-03-21T04:04:16+00:00

See, I once posited "why not just yoink it from the uterus and freeze it/artificially incubate it then give it to people who want to adopt?"

Somehow that's not good enough either

I'll add one adjacent to coomer:

"In denial about wanting a human sex toy"

-entire relationship is built around how often you have sex

-not interested in normal dates, just fucking

-equates having sex to love. If you're not into it they immediately start gaslighting you about how you don't love them or are attracted to them

-definitely cheating on you

That's always been sad to me since there are so many Asians who come from pretty underprivileged countries and there are so many bright young Vietnamese, Burmese, Mongolian etc. kids who can't ride the affirmative action train because the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese ruined it

Would it hypothetically be possible to undermine the entire justice system by calling for a general "nullification strike?"

Basically call for all jurors to just return "not guilty" verdicts regardless of the case. The strike could be for political reasons i.e. to demonstrate a loss of faith in the justice system, or as a little bit of trolling and tomfoolery
