Ancaps and tankies are everywhere these days. No good place for an old fashioned ancom anymore.

Then again, same as it ever was.

Nice! Also thanks for the image transcript, I’m not visually impaired the image looked cool and this helped me find out about Ultrakill

It’s alienation in its worst form. But it gets repackaged as “rugged individualism” and people end up finding an “other” to blame

Lol there’s a stub titled “investor activism” under which this letter falls under. Jesus fucking christ, when you’re a billionaire it’s not “activism” it’s just straight up human manipulation

I hate these birth rate panic articles. If they gave citizenship to the people who are doing the hard work (like 3K jobs) it wouldn’t be a problem.

Personally I want to ride that Chicago to Quebec City line that goes through checks notes … New Orleans

It’s newspeak for wanting to be capitalist while ignoring human rights violations

Yeah, I can understand how it’s easy to get burnt out having to give an explanation every time for why a character is the way they are, it’s exhausting. There are so many challenges to fantasy writing but that shouldn’t be one of them.

Hope you can keep writing awesome characters and stories!

I’m not asking you to curb your imagination. I’m saying you don’t have the right to tell other people how they want to see themselves or disabled characters in fantasy settings, if you’re gonna be rude about it.

Hi. I have a mild physical disability, and this point comes up quite a lot in different settings, including fantasy fiction. “If such and such is a fantasy setting, why does character simply not be disabled?” Is something many able bodied people like to assume.

Without going into how hurtful it is to assume that what all of us want is to be “able bodied”, you’re basically taking away a person’s agency to tell a story about themselves as they are. And there are many stories to be told!

So instead of trying to use logic to negate these kinds of characters from stories and fantasy settings, I challenge you to expand your own definition of what’s possible. There’s plenty of room for all of us.

And in Comic Sans!

Pretty sure this was from the America book by Jon Stewart, yeah? That book was a trip.

Sigh. Look, if you’ve never been to a jeep consortium, that’s just how it goes. Hairy things flopping all over, kindof like a rave with more roll bars. I never want to see that much pubic hair again in my life.

It’s amazing. By utilizing the time honored technique of “korosu”, this skill has been passed down from generation to generation. People don’t seem to have enough respect for tradition.

Speak for yourself, I’m interested in the sugar & molasses. Stocks are low and my family needs to hunker down for the long winter.

Hey, maybe that cat likes to put on a collar and tie only when speaking to a receptionist, who am I to judge?

Ready Player One was a dystopia and Zuck was so enamored it became required reading for building the “Metaverse”.

Billions of dollars can’t buy you the ability to sense irony I guess.

It’s not that they’re not religious. They just don’t pick only one. As they say, “Born Shinto, married Christian, die Buddhist”

Definitely a question worth an interrobang. I never understood the “we need to pretend follow the law so we can break it” policy
