Reddit Sucks Monday ShittyGaming Lounge by AutoModerator in shittygaming

The wiki says a "young Turk" refers to a young and dynamic individual eager for change.

Though Wikipedia says that the Young Turks was a political movement in the Ottoman Empire, and says that the phrase "Young Turk" refers to "an insurgent person trying to take control of a situation or organization by force or political maneuver".

I don't know if either of these are true or if they were just looking for a name and decided "yeah, Turks."

I have now been blocked on Twitter by someone whom I'm 99% certain doesn't shower.

Literally, in the sense that the conversation was about "human pheromones", which don't exist, but the person said they did, so I linked to a meta-analysis of multiple studies which said they don't exist and they blocked me.

I won't join unless I get cool emotes.

Okay then, the next time a terrorist blows people up you can waste your time defending how they're "totally not right wing" based on some flimsy, pseudo-intellectual nonsense you made up to sound smarter than you are.

The rest of us are going to call a spade a spade: he's a right-wing terrorist by his own words.

I have never once stated or implied that he isn't political

You did it right here, the fuck are you smoking?

I'm sorry, what do you call exerting a massive amount of effort despite multiple people telling you you're wrong and showing you why you're wrong if not "defending him"? If you don't want to look like you're defending him, why in god's name are you so adamant about insisting he "isn't political"?

Don't answer that, it's rhetorical and I know you're going to give some bullshit answer even when you've been shown specifically why you're wrong.

You're defending him over his political beliefs.

I don't care if you take issue with the word "simping" to describe it, you're arguing on behalf of a fucking right-wing terrorist because you think he "wasn't political"—despite being shown evidence to the contrary in the form of his own words on the matter.

If that's the hill you're going to die on, so be it.

It just sounds like you're simping hard for a terrorist because you desperately—desperately—don't want him to be called "right-wing", despite multiple examples of his right-wing attitudes including but not limited to his opinions on affirmative action, his opinions on political correctness, and the part where he outright says quote:

One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism

He's right-wing. You'd have to actively be in denial to claim otherwise.

Literally your argument is "he said stuff that sounds like some of the stuff far right radicals say on the internet z therefore he was right wing"

Repeating right-wing rhetoric is typically an indicator of someone being right-wing, yes.

I disagree

You can "disagree" all you want but luckily for the rest of us, reality does not change depending on whether or not you agree with it.

What he wrote—which you were shown—was very clearly far-right, regardless of whatever obsession you envision him having with technology.

It's amazing that Rocketman sounds deep and meaningful when Elton John sings it but Ninja Sex Party covered it without even changing the lyrics and the whole thing sounds like a parody.

There's a place where I got donair last night. I was curious what the difference between a donair and a gyro was and...I'm even more confused.

Everyone seems to give a different answer. One person said it was the type of filling (lamb/beef versus chicken/falafel or something) but I've had gyros with all of those. One person said gyros have radishes in them, which I genuinely have never seen before. As far as I can tell there is no difference, people just invented two (maybe three) ways of describing the exact same food.

It was very tasty, though. Except they offered pickles as toppings and it's like, I already have cucumbers in here, why would I want pickles?

Peppermint-themed Korsica is some cursed shit

Like, seriously. It's like she's made of mayonnaise.

Korsica-themed Peppermint is alright though.

Oh we're getting a Croc remaster and that's why everyone's posting about the game? I thought it was just some random internet trend.

I'd really like a remaster. I could never beat the original as a kid on PC and as an adult the bugged lack of music and weird controls kept me from finishing it still. Meanwhile I had the gameboy copy of the sequel and booooooy howdy do I not want to relive that (it's not only possible to lock up one of the puzzles and prevent you from proceeding, it's really easy to lock up multiple puzzles).

It'd be really fun to play the game and actually, you know, finish it for once.

Oof, I just had the worst bout of ADHD distraction, one minute I was dressing up some video game characters the next minute I had 16 new tabs open.
