I cost 200 mana points to summon, but on your next turn I conjure a pack of small, highly annoying dogs that do 1d6 damage each and cannot be targeted.

The idea of "living up to one's potential" has done more psychic damage to me than any other abstract concept except masculinity

Those two are a terrible choice for the face of a movement, why would you choose two sickly looking individuals who are at risk of being swept away by a strong gust of wind as an example to aspire to?

They've been signaling a willingness for violence from the start. Why else would so many first term anti-trump protests be met with "support the 2A" counter-protests?

A note for people with certain philosophical leanings: If the dominant forces in the economy are able to dictate your choices this way, you're no freer than if the government was doing it.

After posting "Don't catch feelings for anything that doesn't have a pulse", I was reminded about the old "humans will pack bond with anything" thread. We are 100% screwed if Skynet makes Terminators cute and sneaky. Wall-e with a brick of C4 in his stomach could easily end half the population.

The most painful thing about life is how powerless we are to correct the ignorance of the world. No matter how much I try to educate people, they go on thinking that the Iguanadon is a cool dinosaur. Igaunadon sucks. There are like 50 better dinosaurs, easily, come on.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

It's a hard position to be in. There's a lot of doubt along with anxiety about losing a career, benefits and hurting your family in the process of doing the right thing. A lot of service members are thinking about what they'll do, when, and why. But it's not something many will broadcast.

Italians, Irish, any minority, and LGBTQIA+. Then registered Dems, intellectuals, scientists, Muslims, Jews, and Catholics. Then anyone who ever spoke out, made fun of them, or did anything except bend the knee. Their need for money, power, and esteem is endless. It won't stop until they're stopped.

Truth be told, we can do whatever the fuck we want, as long as we do it in large enough numbers. Stop letting them convince you to want a broken world.
A Tublr post from user Exestentialmemes that reads: This society could be so, so cool if it wasn't run by avaricious, bloodthirsty tyrants. Our technological capacity is at such grotesque odds with the average person's daily experience. We could eliminate so much suffering, if only our resources were being equitably distributed. But instead robots are plagiarizing artists and writing term papers with imaginary sources. Meanwhile, someone who wanted to be a glassblower is having a nervous breakdown because their kitchen is dirty and they're sick of eating ramen in between fourteen hour shifts at Real(tm) Job (Retail Mandatory Standing). We're just doing this so fucking wrong, all because some guys who are pathologically rich decided this was the only way to have a society.

Luckily, it seems they're terrible at the moment, like the early rubber-skinned Terminator models, but they'll improve over time. Rule # 87 for surviving the apocalypse: Don't say anything to anyone without a pulse.
