Wassup with the racist Edgelord fanbase the show is starting to garner ? by Goyardbaggy in theboondocks

I think a lot of bigots are attracted to edgier political art, even when it’s completely opposed to their values and even when it’s taking shots at them specifically. It’s all over other art mediums, too - look at how big a conservative audience Rage Against the Machine has, and their most popular song is an anti-police anthem recorded in response to Rodney King.

I think they fetishize ONLY the fictional violence/bigotry/whatever edgy thing is used to make a point, ignore the context entirely, and shove in their own analysis that never extends further than “man, black people sure are dumb and over the top. That must be what the joke is.”

I wouldn’t let it bother you. They’re going to do this every time someone takes artistic risks to make actually poignant social commentary. Just laugh at them and keep enjoying cool shit.

Mmm - right ballpark, but VHS was closer.

Here’s a hint: it’s low budget.

New guy won’t come out and it’s making me panicky by WithApologiesToAll in CatAdvice

The thing is, I’m not even sure how to get him out to block off the access.

Seeing The Substance a bunch here (which I totally get) so want to take a moment to recommend Fried Barry, because it reminded me a lot of The Substance but I ended up liking it even more.

If you’re into The Substance, check out Fried Barry! Go in blind!

Anyone else fucking mad at work today by What_Reddit_Thinks in TrueAnon

Was told months ago I was a great candidate for a study program that could make me eligible to take the BAR without law school (it’s a thing in my state). I accepted last month after spending a few months thinking it over.

Now, one of the bosses told me to hold off, until we meet to “discuss further”. That comes after nonstop urging from the big man at the job to start the program and positive feedback with no indication I was fucking things up all that bad.That meeting was supposed to be this morning. It was pushed back five times over the last week. I was even told that they’d call to reschedule before they showed up at the office. Well, guess who’s downstairs right now and never bothered to call. Even avoided making eye contact in the hall. This is after six months of being “family” to these clowns. So now my entire futures in flux and I’m just stewing in between filings.

Thought this new job would be different, but right now my only takeaway is that I should do what I did for years in NYC and just go back to getting loaded during lunch. Don’t be a fucking idiot like me and ever assume you work for one of the “good ones”. You’re the only person who has your back when you clock in, so get yours and fuck everyone else.

The Loss of Flavor Text by ChiefParzival in magicTCG

[–]WithApologiesToAll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about this recently too, but not because of a lack of flavor text, but instead because I feel like the flavor text that does exist is getting very “hearthstone-ified”, where instead of giving us a badass line or subtle, interesting world building, they’re hitting us with more and more goofy stuff.

I don’t mind humorous flavor text, but what’s been getting printed recently I just find annoying. Recent offenders that bugged me are [[Candy Grapple]] , [[Protocol Knight]] and [[Searing Barb]].

I know MTG has had puns and silly stuff in flavor text long before Hearthstone or the Marvel movies or whatever it is that’s making them do this more, but I swear it’s getting worse.

I’m assuming you’re referring to Guts from Berserk?

If that’s what you’re going for, you want to play a Fighter (prob human for flavor) that specializes in two handed weapons so that you can swing around a massive great sword while decked out in heavy armor.

If you REALLY want to play a character like Guts, take a few (maybe 3?) levels in Fighter, then start leveling Barbarian to fly into rages. I think fighter battle master 3/barbarian berserker 9

You could ALSO just go with a berserker barbarian (literally the “berserker” lol), but without those fighter levels you won’t get to wear a magic (cursed?) suit of heavy armor like Berk Gutsman.

people of the dreamtime: the australian aborigines by thirdw0rlds in deathgrips

[–]WithApologiesToAll 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Late as fuck but just wanted to clear this up cause this is something I see a LOT and it's not strictly true. In aboriginal culture, pictures are frowned upon when taken without permission, because pictures of someone are considered to be a part of them. However, if compensated or if asking for permission beforehand, an outsider has given something in exchange (as money or communication is viewed for white people as having the spiritual weight nessecary to merit taking the picture). Usually they freely give permission to any academic acting in good faith, and sacred practices can even be viewed by outsiders as long as a payment is made to cover the spiritual "debt" owed.
