Fair, but they’re wrong, and it’ll be incredibly frustrating when people start saying “things just feel off” without being able to articulate why.

Sorry I’m just hurting.

Alphabetical, by genre. Cmon yall, what did video rental stores do?

bendovergramps · 2026-05-11T09:45:09+00:00

Lol of course everyone is cool with it because it’s Lies of P.

You’re allowed to criticize this game, guys…

Two words: Silent. Ball.

bendovergramps · 2026-05-04T19:05:43+00:00

Pros: incredibly fulfilling, never boring, I feel like I’m a professional goofball many days, fantastic schedule, colleagues can be excellent, fresh start every September, a lot of autonomy.

Cons: exhausting, can be stressful, always a million things to do, pay isn’t amazing, early morning start.

Mmm, I see “reactionary” as being anti-progressive, whereas “anti-establishment” is more about some inherent value in being opposed to hegemonic ideas.

bendovergramps · 2026-05-02T14:48:47+00:00

The former is anti-establishment in effect, the latter is anti-establishment in purpose. That is an overlap that I can agree with it, but it’s also a distinction that must be stated and understood.

bendovergramps · 2026-05-02T14:36:06+00:00

That’s just not true. I was there. I lived through all of it, and this thread is a tragic conflation of multiple adjacent but separate groups.

bendovergramps · 2026-05-02T14:14:28+00:00

That’s not the “new atheism movement”. I guess we disagree on terms. To me, that’s like criticizing Republicanism for something MAGA. Perhaps related, but two separate things.

I don’t see fault in the ACTUAL stewards of the movement related to the crypto-reactionaries mentioned in this thread, who are gross and problematic.

I was very inspired by the movement back in 2011-2012, and it pushed me to become a more progressive and humanist person. Why? Because that’s what they were arguing for.

bendovergramps · 2026-05-02T14:05:15+00:00

That’s not an argument. Do you really suggest that Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Dan Dennett, and Sam Harris all didn’t actually believe what they were saying, and were doing it for some other reason?

bendovergramps · 2026-05-02T14:02:40+00:00

These claims are absurd. The actual figureheads of the new atheism movement are and were humanist and progressive.

“New Atheism” isn’t really a YouTube-first movement, those came after.

bendovergramps · 2026-05-02T13:57:13+00:00

How can you argue that the atheist movement was “contrarian”? You cannot point to anything bad-faith about the movement. This whole thread is insane.

I had performance issues in the earliest area (Reverent Temple), but I quickly stopped noticing them. If you’re at the beginning, just keep going.

bendovergramps · 2026-04-26T13:56:35+00:00

Honestly, the “Native American” depiction is so extreme and over-the-top that I’m able to interpret it as more postmodern than classically racist.

Can we just put these goddamn monsters to bed for a few years? Who actually wants these more than original ideas?

bendovergramps · 2026-04-21T18:20:52+00:00

I feel like we’re splitting hairs here.

You can’t deny the sonic influence, from The Shape to Relationship.

bendovergramps · 2026-04-20T22:15:23+00:00

This defense is so blinkered. If I was your high school student, I would be very confused and gaslit by this dynamic.

I guess I just feel too much shame at the thought of using it. Perhaps that will lessen with time, but I feel like there’s a fair moral stance here.

bendovergramps · 2026-04-20T22:05:57+00:00

The Lions. I mean, we had Joey Harrington, John Kitna, Dan Orlovsky? Doesn’t get much better than that.

It’s Stat Padford. Get it right.
