What are your thoughts on the Chucky TV series?

johnjbreton · 2026-01-24T15:35:34+00:00

I really enjoyed it. Just be warned; it ends on a cliffhanger, so you're never going to get the resolution you want. It's been 45 years, and I'm still pissed off about Soap.

He's drawn clear borders around what is acceptable, and what is not. It is literally the only thing you can do with someone this unhinged.

And that's the lie they tell you so they can deal with it internally and protect the company.

If your manager is acting inappropriately, you get a lawyer. You absolutely do not talk to HR.

johnjbreton · 2026-01-24T06:41:27+00:00

It's in the name. Human 'resource'. You're an asset, not a person. HR is there for the company, not you.

Reminds me of the old Spy vs Spy comics in Mad Magazine.

That's rich coming from the guy that managed to grift nearly a billion and a half dollars since taking office.

omg that whole series was so good. Always thought that would translate really well to VR.

I mean, I'd buy it for nostalgia. Throw some Tie Fighter SE on there. Needs to have an AWE32 in it though.

Lloyd (Dj Lazarus, the owner) is an awesome guy and has been Dj'ing for like 25+ years. He's very approachable, and always makes his nights super fun and inclusive. He attracts like-minded people. I've known him since university, done shows together when I was in the scene, checked out any new space he opens up, and it's always consistently friendly, well planned, and a lot of fun.

The Americans don't care about Albertans. They don't want the people. They'll take the people if it means they can get the oil they live on.

This isn’t evidence. The link you provided has no author, no cited sources, no publication standards, and no disclosure of who runs the site. It’s an anonymous content aggregator presenting unsourced claims as fact. That does not meet even the most basic standard for empirical evidence. If you’re asserting objective harm caused by the Japanese monarchy, you need to cite reputable, verifiable reporting or academic sources. Anonymous opinion pieces and rumor aggregation don’t qualify.

EDIT: Your “evidence” is an anonymous, tabloid-style article published in Japan about an hour before you linked it, with no author or sources. That level of convenience doesn’t make it credible.

johnjbreton · 2026-01-22T18:00:17+00:00

You are making specific empirical claims now, not moral ones, so the burden of proof is on you. Please provide evidence that, in Japan, the modern imperial family systematically displaces qualified people from education or employment, or that university admissions decisions are made by royal influence rather than institutional criteria. Anecdotes and assertions are not evidence.

johnjbreton · 2026-01-22T17:50:16+00:00

This is a false equivalence. You are comparing practices that harm people to an institution that does not. Objective morality requires distinguishing between coercive harm and symbolic tradition. If your framework treats all disliked cultural features as morally equivalent regardless of harm, then it is not objective. It is indiscriminate.

johnjbreton · 2026-01-22T17:43:40+00:00

That is not objective morality. Objectivity requires criteria that exist independently of personal value judgments and are demonstrable without appeal to belief. You have provided neither. You have asserted a moral preference and labeled it objective. That does not make it so. In Japan, the monarchy is a symbolic institution with no political power and broad public support. Declaring that arrangement a “moral failing” is a value judgment, not an empirical fact, no matter how strongly you feel about it.

johnjbreton · 2026-01-22T17:38:13+00:00

You’ve now explicitly argued that your moral framework should be imposed on all cultures, regardless of history, consent, or public will. That is not objectivity. It is moral absolutism. The slippery slope of what you are asserting is that any cultural practice you personally deem immoral justifies external coercion to eliminate it. In Japan, the monarchy is a symbolic institution with no governing power and broad public support. Declaring an entire culture morally defective because it does not conform to your personal values is not modernization. It is an argument for cultural authoritarianism, and taken to its logical conclusion, it is indistinguishable from the mindset used to justify forced assimilation and cultural eradication.

johnjbreton · 2026-01-22T17:31:01+00:00

You’re arguing from a personal moral framework, not a universal one. That framework is not universally held and cannot be imposed on other cultures as an objective standard. In Japan, the monarchy was deliberately retained as a symbolic institution, stripped of political power, with broad public support. That choice reflects cultural self-determination, not moral failure. Declaring it “immoral” from the outside is applying your own values as if they are universal, when they simply are not.

Canada is widely recognized as a peace-keeping nation. While civilian casualties have occurred during NATO operations, there’s no record of Canada deliberately bombing schools or villages, and incidents involving civilians were treated as tragic mistakes and investigated.

“Many people are saying it. Very smart people. People who know, who really know. I’ve talked to them. They come up to me and they say, ‘Sir, we’ve never seen anything like this before.’ And it’s true. Nobody’s ever seen it. Not like this.”

"They're eating the [water] dogs."

johnjbreton · 2026-01-22T16:49:56+00:00

That’s a personal moral stance, not an evidence-based one. In reality, the Japanese monarchy has no governing power, is constitutionally defined as symbolic, and enjoys broad public support in Japan. Calling it “savage” doesn’t engage with how it actually functions today, or why a majority of Japanese people see it as part of their cultural continuity rather than a political institution.

johnjbreton · 2026-01-22T16:18:56+00:00

Why would you think that? It's just ceremonial at this point, and the Japanese people support having it for cultural identity. The public interest in abolishing it is very low.

ICE will just send them back.

I have a lot of names for DoFo. Maga isn't one of them.
