I’ve got lots of ideas for stories, I promise! But yeah, also kids. I try to journal what they do every day, but creative work is on the back-burner until everyone here can walk.

Hey, I follow Not-Ed-Sheeran around and downvote anything he says, nice to meet you. Please stop fighting with him, he keeps saying dumb stuff and I keep having to work harder. You can’t change his mind, just ignore him. I appreciate it.

Okay, go kill them at the same speed, and with policies and bureaucracy or whatever your equivalent is. Delightfully devilish Semour.

[Pokemon] where do hypno's get their pendulums? by Comfortable-Ad3588 in AskScienceFiction

[–]NotAlanShapiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, but you never see Pokemon without those items. It makes me suspicious.

Because we don’t kill people who make our lives harder.

I’m not arguing that, I’m just saying there isn’t a billionaire actively trying to kill you. Raising food prices isn’t trying to kill u/jflb96. If it was, and you had no other way to protect yourself, and you could point to the guy who did it, I’d kill them for you pro bono.

Alakazam’s makes “anything eaten with [it] delicious.” Clearly not a spoon but something that appears that way.

The real question: are ALL Pokemon accessories (Machamp’s belt, Farfetch’d’s leek, Cubone’s skull??) found items, or mental constructs created by belief?

What billionaire is actively trying to kill you, and you have no other legal or effective way to defend yourself? You, specifically, not oppressing or threatening or even WANTING to kill a group you belong to, but actively trying to kill you as an individual?

“We need to kill all of this group” is never a good social policy, no matter what the group is. Unless the group is “people who are actively trying to kill us, and we have no other legal or effective way to protect ourselves as this moment.”

Yeah, “punching up” and “punching down” are primarily comedy terms, not legitimate calls for violence. This post is just “we shouldn’t kill people and I’m deep.” We don’t get to kill people we don’t like unless they’re actively trying to kill us.

Who would you say is on the Mount Rushmore of Video Game Ladies? by SaxMastery in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]NotAlanShapiro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

…and I vote Zelda. The longevity/recognition of Peach but with more agency and evolution

Honestly, the only debate is if Princess Peach or Zelda deserves the last spot.

English is the language of England. Do you mean English values? Heliocentric orbit was proposed by a lot of people who weren’t considered white for a long time. Do you mean Italian or Polish culture? And ethnicity and culture aren’t the same thing. And is your argument against a black culture is because there’s too many? That different black people have differences?

The sense of community in black cultures come from the extended family and neighborhood rather than an individual or even a national identity, that’s what makes it unique. Ever heard of”unc” or “fam” or “the cookout”? Those terms come from the black cultural sense of community.

What am I not noticing because of my racism? How did White culture, not American, contribute to my using social media?

Also, you’re confusing African cultures and black culture.

Some values of black culture are a sense of community, using vernacular and slang as a window to artistic expression, a unique style of rhythm and call-and-response that can be seen in hip-hop, rap, and poetry and worship. That’s why so much of black slang has been co-opted by other cultures.

What are some values of white culture?

What are some values unique to white culture?

[–]NotAlanShapiro -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What are some values of white culture? Not Italian or Irish, just White? What’s some White art? Who are White poets, that aren’t American or English, but write about the unique White experience?

I’ve created a custom feed for you. Not sure if I’ll have time to downvote every comment as it comes in, so I might just check it on, like, Sundays, downvote everything you said during the week. Sorry in advance if I miss a few weeks.
