There's a mall near my house that's across the street from a high school, & last September they banned all students from that high school from entering at any time
(shockingly this move killed the mall's food court, which closed last month)
but sure Rex, "technology bad!" or w/e

Shocking that infinite growth proves once again to be unsustainable! Funny how us broke normies can figure that simple fact out but the rich, privileged techbros who run everything now can't bring themselves to accept it.

the long version: an artist connected to the anti-art "Dadaist" movement submitted a urinal to an art exhibition a century ago and it still riles up sad reactionaries who pretend to care about "real art" to this day.
the short version:

@KyleKallgren
You show it to someone, and tell them it's art. If they go off on an hour long rant about how it's degenerate, and not art at all, then you know they're a fascist.
@keffals
Somehow I'm reminded of the That 70's Show episode where Red takes in a couple of gay men but later kicks them out, not for being gay, but for being Minnesota Vikings fans

Their parents know, they don't care; as far as they're concerned indoctrination is just fine and dandy when *they're* the ones doing the indoctrinating.
@PoorlyAgedStuff
Y'know I have a friend who's still like "it's happening but I don't think we're the ones causing it", and at this point I no longer care if we're causing it or not* - it's happening regardless, it's threatening our way of life, so we need to do something about it, pronto.
@NHLSeattle_
The name blows. There, I said it. It's a dumb name that doesn't even fit the region from a shitty decade-old movie that nobody remembers except the "rElEaSe ThE KrAkEn" meme.
Within 3 years the jokes will be old and y'all will want something new again. Calling it now.

Really? 'Cause I had a union job for a year, and I don't ever recall the company trying to dictate my political stances. I do recall that being the job I had with the best pay & benefits, though!

Comedy? As in that was supposed to be a joke? Yeah, I doubt it; but if that's actually your idea of what comedy is then don't quit your day job dude lol
@PtsdBarnum
It's because they don't actually care about the hypocrisy or the disconnect. In their eyes people who look and believe like they do (ie straight cis white conservative men) can do whatever they want, and everyone else just has to live with it.
@LeonHurley
From what I've heard they also actively removed content from the game to sell it as DLC; because when one has committed to being a scumbag, the tendency is to push it as far as possible, apparently

I'm not so sure - when Spencer first got hit there was the same exact pearl-clutching in the same quantity, but in hindsight that was the first thing that exposed him as an utter joke in the wider culture; I'd almost predict the same thing to happen again this time, TBH
Hi,
@neiltyson
. I saw recently that you appeared on a show hosted by Ben Shapiro; now I assume you researched him *before* you agreed to appear on his show, because who wouldn't? But just in case you didn't, there's a pretty good run-down of the man here:
@shaun_vids
Dirty Harry: "above-the-law Cowboy Cop talks a big game but just winds up making everything worse, and when he realizes this, he quits"
sequels: "Nevermind, his way was right all along"
@biggestjoel
So Netanyahu actively and openly supported terrorists killing his own people just to keep the nation divided enough that he could stay in power? That is indeed horrible.
@nytimes
as a Canadian I've spent most of the last 3 1/2 years, and 2020 especially, equal-parts laughing and despairing at how thoroughly *fucked* America has become. Good lord.
@JudahWorldChamp
Reminds me of a stand-up bit Daniel Tosh did 20 years ago, where he pitched a game show where rich people had to play with their own money, could only lose money, and which ends when one goes totally broke, called "Ha-Ha, Now You're Poor!"
@sportslogosnet
they say "play for the name on the front, not the name on the back", well, when Jerry West was an all-star he could do both at the same time
