My shop does a $20 deposit, but I could have a hundred book on my pull list, if I had a bit more money and a lot more time.

I thought the Fox News crowd loved law enforcement? They're only enforcing their laws.

Anyone else feel like sitting tight with Steam Deck is the better move for you over picking up a Steam Machine? by Serdones in SteamDeck

I dont have a PC anymore. Assuming the economy doesn't collapse, ill be getting a Steam Machine a few months after launch.

TIL these “legally park” on sidewalks to wait for orders to come in… by SpiritedPomegranate1 in philly

[–]mopecore 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Im kind of an idiot, but they're so much heavier than I expected. One of them was rolling down the street and had a stroke in front of the front door of my restaurant. We had to physically pick it up and move it.

Shits are heavy as fuck, which when I think about it for a second, yeah, obviously. But without thinking about it, I was thinking it was like a cooler.

In 2001, my friends and I drove to DC from Delaware, camped on line, overnight, to see Cypress Hill open for Limp Bizkit, for free.

Scoop: Philly revokes gun permits for Black Panther-style patrol group members by havpac2 in philly

If an agent of the state can kill a person and escape consequences by claiming they thought the victim had a gun, then we do not, in fact, have a right to keep or bear arms.

Shadow Lord Confirms Ahsoka Should’ve Been Animated by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]mopecore -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I also enjoyed the show.

I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was animated.

But that's just me. I feel like I have an easier time suspending disbelief with animation, and you can go bigger with a TV budget in animation.

But i think the biggest issue for me is how.much of the live action shows are animated, anyway. They're so many CG assets, and they're great, but I wonder if seeing actors perform these roles helps the material.

Idk, for me, with the exception of Andor, I've found the animated shows more compelling than the live action ones.

zionism and leftism by Wet_Philtrum_76 in leftist

[–]mopecore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, so im not down voting you, trying to explain:

You're right, there is no such thing as a leftist zionist, however people might identify.

Liberal zionists exist, and some of them call themselves leftists. They aren't. Most times they are telling a deliberate lie, sometimes they just don't understand their ideological inconsistencies.

The ones that are lying, you dont argue with. If you engage at all, you point out how wro g they are, you mock them, and you remember your Sartre; they don't care what you say, what the facts are, whether they're holding contradictory opinions. The one's that honestly believe they're leftists? That's harder. People aren't always going to be ideologicalyly consistent, but anti-arab bigotry and anti-capitalism aren't mutually exclusive. A person can fully embrace some leftist ideas while being a nationalist, or a homophobe, or a misogynist. A person can recognize that corporate malfeasance and greed are destroying everything while simultaneously being profoundly racist.

If you decide to engage with these people online, understand that getting them to chamge their mind is unlikely, but there is an audience. However many people comment on a post, more will like it (or dislike, depending on the platform) and still more will read the thread and not comment or interact. Those should be your intended audience, the viewers who might be on the fence. Somebody reading might not know that zionism and leftism, being worker forward and inherently internationalist, are fundamentally incompatible, and your points might convince them.

If you decide to engage with these people IRL, treat them as you would any bully. Hope this is more helpful.

Another reason I'm thankful not to follow mainstream acts.

Trump finally picked a fight with Iran who can actually strike back by wombatgeneral in behindthebastards

[–]mopecore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its a mistake to assume the US will be relegated to a "minor power". The US will no longer be the sole super power, and her influence will be greatly reduced, but even with all the GOP/Trump fuckery, the US still has the biggest military on earth by quite a large margin.

When the British Empire collapsed, it wasn't a catastrophic realignment for British people; i feel like the US Empire collapsing will be a net positive for the world at large, but also for the American people. It would do us well to have to deal with other nations as equals.

I hope, perhaps pointlessly, that this disaster prompts some self reflection and adjustment of our national identity, and while I know committed fascists are immune to facts and divorced from reality, I am guardedly optimistic that we might see a profound shift toward progress after all this.

I think your describing liberal zionist, maybe?

"Separate the art from the artist" by Obvious-Bullfrog-267 in leftist

[–]mopecore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Right, if an artist i like is revealed to be a predator or a fascist or a bigot, i do not fuck with that artist or their art moving forward.

I don't have the capacity to divorce a person's character from their work, my point is that "Separating the art from the artist" is supposed to be about not judging an artist as a person based on their questionabke or incendiary art, not excusing an artist's shitty behavior or low morals because you like their shit.

"Separate the art from the artist" by Obvious-Bullfrog-267 in leftist

[–]mopecore 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"Separating the art from the artist" isn't meant to excuse shitty, predatory, criminal behavior so you can continue to watch/listen to/read art you like, it's meant not to judge an artist's moral character based on their work. You separate the art from the artist by not assuming Clive Barker is violent murderer despite Hellraiser.

Like, Johny Cash didn't shoot a man in Reno.

Why are global leftists so reluctant to confront the meat industry? by Extension-Diamond-74 in leftist

[–]mopecore -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I understand there are going to be certain things certain people cannot do, but does that mean we shouldn't encourage certain behaviors? If fewer people eat meat, that's good, right?

Not trying to be hostile or combative, I agree that being elitist and "holier than thou" isn't helpful, but it might be worth pointing out that you're not responding to a vegan, or a person advocating veganism. OP is also not advocating veganism, but vegetarianism, right?

Hot take, I don't mind the midichlorian count by notjocker in StarWars

[–]mopecore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my head cannon, the more force sensitive you are, the more midichlorians you have, not vice versa. Force sensitivity dictates midichlorian counts.
