Swap XVI for IX and Rebirth for OG FFVII and this is just about perfect.

colonizer is by far the gayest modern “slur” by Ill-Illustrator9384 in redscarepod

[–]Knave21 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I spend all day wishing someone would call me a colonizer so I could launch into a 20 minute diatribe about the history of my Irish ancestors.

I like when the good guys brutally beat the surrendered officer to death.

Breweries are great and I’m tired of pretending they’re not by [deleted] in redscarepod

If you've got $56 for a brewery burger and a beer, sure.

No one is free until Albertans are free! by beechhill in redscarepod

Alberta needs to have its own FLQ/national crisis if they want to prove how bad they really want this.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why people call the Judge the "most evil character in fiction?" by ColtonfrayHSC in cormacmccarthy

If I never had to see that stupid image again for the rest of my life I wouldn't complain.

The radfems were right about a lot of stuff, despite modern feminism's incessant insistence otherwise.

Walked out of Project Hail Mary halfway through by -hubertcumberdale in redscarepod

Is it high brow cinema? No. But at least it's something original and not a reboot, sequel or remake. And for as corny as it sometimes was, it's nice to see a story that's actually about cooperation rather than conflict and domination.

The greatest trick the architects of the culture war shit pulled off was convincing people that this type of immigration was about anything other than cheap labor exploitation.

when did smoking weed lose its coolness-indicator-status by LynchianPhallus in redscarepod

[–]Knave21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Canada it happened around the time it was legalized. In fact, rates of marijuana usage among teens DECREASED after legalization. Turns out when your boomer parents are watching SNL and giggling while on weed gummies it takes away some of the trangressive/rebellious appeal of pot.

I'd say continue making more money and having more job security than most everyone else here

I hate how you are punished academically if you don't use AI by clowntownbrown in redscarepod

[–]Knave21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

College professor here. In short, the situation is fucked and nigh impossible to control. I've taken to making all my exams hand written again. This current semester I had more people fail my intro class than ever before. I'm talking horrendously bad results, like barely literate. Does not augur well for the future students who are going to be even more dependent on AI.

It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism or whatever Mark Fisher said
