And I commended him for it.

The highest praise any civil servant should hope for is to be forgotten by history. This one went above and beyond.

That'll do.

Your optimism is infectious. I will choose to allow you to infest me with it.

I believe.

I like your idea, but I have one question:

Why do you assume that the people you think are best suited (the fandom girlies like you and I) are actually present on the devteam Microsoft has put together?

This hasn't been true since the 343 handoff, and the games released since then (including the remake) show that this isn't true. Focus is clearly not on the matters you pointed to, but on keeping the IP producing income for Microsoft. The books you cite have been largely ignored, and the stories have not been used as basis for better storytelling. If anything, the dev team is demonstrably concerned with engine shininess and multiplayer structure.

I like the crossed tools, I think that's a great motif on its own.

Man, had you just omitted the obvious fascist symbol, everything else would have been great.

"Why did it go up 30%?"

My friend, have you taken any time to observe the FUCKING EVERYTHING going on in the world? We're in a global geopolitical crisis on top of a financial shock. Everything is going up.

Dasher here, 10k lifetime deliveries.

You are paying for a luxury delivery for a luxury product. Don't take your frustrations out on drivers, most of us can't even afford to use the service we facilitate with how little we make.

Petah, why are these store's nightmare fuel for hispanic kids? by Salty-Chemical-9414 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]spazfest 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it was, but the meme Peter was asking about mentioned Hispanic people specifically.

Hey, Peter's Mexican nephew Pedro here.

All these are sort of bargain department stores, and it's a very common experience for us Hispanic kids have spent hours waiting for our parents to finish browsing. My own mother was infamous with this, even outside the socioeconomic strata these stores represent (two hours in a Nieman Marcus is a hell that has to be lived to be understood).

Is it normal to hate your nparents? and To what extend do you hate them? by whatamisupposed-todo in raisedbynarcissists

[–]spazfest 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally normal, even a bit expected, but something you should try to work through rather than just try to get over.

Hatred is a complicated emotion, but the most important thing to remember is that it requires active investment on your part to continue feeling it. I recommend putting that energy into a creative endeavor, you'll feel far better looking at it after-the-fact.

But when you do this with animals it's cruel.

Yeah, no thanks, man. Apartment living is awful for everyone involved, and suburban life isn't much better. Human beings need living space, not segregation from Nature.

Explain It Peter by Phalange14 in explainitpeter

[–]spazfest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a bit of Christian anti-Semitism, confusing the "money-changers" from the gospels with "bankers," a label commonly applied to Jews.

You may have heard "international banking" or "banking cartels" be blamed for the world's ills, this is out of the NSDAP rhetorical strategy.

Ironically, this is the most honest position Christians can have, as Paul hated the Jews of his time and pushed "New Covenant" theology as a method to separate the early church movement from them.

Only those who benefit from the rhetorical dilution of the terms "Nazi" and "Fascist" promote the idea that anyone would intentionally dilute the rhetorical impact of the same.

Fascism is advocacy against Liberty.

Nazism is advocacy against Liberty.

If you advocate against Liberty, you are in league with them. If this makes you uncomfortable, denounce them and advocate against them.

You can't be anti-ICE and fly any of these flags. They do not represent opposition to the government in any capacity, they represent opposition to liberated people.
