People talk about Baldur's Gate for months after it's released. Nobody talked about this after two weeks. Same with Starfield.

A true queen till the end

Sidenote, I really enjoyed the Report starting Adam Driver. One downside was it painted Feinstein as a heroine when she was absolutely complicit in torture.
You have to imagine this will get cancelled. People will tweet at Ro Khanna about Voosh being a proponent of beastiality and pedophilia and he'll have to cancel, right?
Always important to point out that more Ukrainian fought in the Red Army in WW2 than with the Nazi collaborators. Just to piss off the "national liberation" crowd.

Spoilers for the movie, obviously.
How dare the US pretend like they would be the peaceful nation and that China would be belligerent the entire time. Don't get me wrong, it didn't stop me from enjoying the movie. The atmosphere, setting, plot, editing. Everything was so fantastic. The aliens, the themes about language and culture.
And I know that it was a US made movie with US main characters, but everytime they mentioned China being hostile felt so cringe. I doubt Villanueve was being intentionally anti-China, he just needed a non US ally to be belligerent so the protagonists would have a clock to race against. But even having Russia in that role would make more sense. And even weirder that China was ruled by a general from the People's Liberation Army.
Now this isn't me coming from a "China would never do anything bad" perspective. It's just silly pretending that the US wouldn't immediately send sidewinder missiles into that thing before it landed. The US would shoot first, second, and third before thinking to ask questions. The Chinese weather balloon tells us all we need to know about that. Now for the sake of the movie I was willing to accept the premise, but when it became all of the non West countries acting hostile it stung with me.
I think I'm only ranting because it was such a good movie and the whole theme of language being the key to understanding culture was undermined by making China the Bad Guys. If this was a shlockier, worse movie I wouldn't care to complain about that detail. I haven't read the original short story, but I'm sure that it didn't have this element.

Bringing back an classic because I want homemade brownies

Also Kamala's husband has a doctorate of jurisprudence, why isn't he called Dr. Dougie hmmm?
The counter offensive is more than a military maneuver. It's an idea. Light itself.
Telling someone they suck a man's dick as an insult is pretty basic homophobia. Unless you meant it as a compliment, then by all means I hope 
gets his knob schlobbed for all his hard work.
Go read about BRI infrastructure projects in Africa and Asia. The global south is generally very positive about Chinese politics because Chinese give them hospitals and roads and ports.
Casual homophobia to own the tankies 
It wasn't fun at the time, but I'm glad we had the pronouns struggle session long before federation.
You know I do be thinking about the dominant sociopolitical philosophy which is engrained into virtually every aspect of my life, from where I get food or medicine to where I rest my head at night. Wonder why.
I think as the libs get deeper into arguments they say something that leads to a ban or removed comments. They are so far not brave enough to venture onto the News Megathread, praise be unto Lord SeventytwoTrillion.

This has been the funniest week on this site in years
(hexbear.net)
New account but I've been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I've been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since 
and everytime it's an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of 
people who wandered into the sub.
I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let's enjoy it for now.

It's fake. It doesn't work. They skipped safety procedures. It's not efficient anyways. It's not scalable. It wouldn't work without state funding. State funding is the reason it doesn't work. Social credit score.
