On a marble colonnaded quay not far from the palace, King Tahrend leans unsteadily on his walking stick and stares forlornly out at the choppy foam-flecked sea.
@NewRightPoast
Imagine you're making a victimhood sandwich -- you pile on the woman, the gayness, big thick slices of brown bread. At some point you look around and you're out of identity. There's no more victimhood you could possibly--
Wait! In the back of the fridge! Vitiligo!

Chris Pratt did not achieve this naturally. I agree with your motivational premise, diet and exercise is great, but you are misleading people using Chris Pratt as an example.

Yes. They intended it as a progressive takedown of masculinity and capitalism. They're as horrified about the RW's adoption of Bateman as a mascot as Alan Moore is of Rorschach, or Matt Furie of Pepe the Frog, or Chuck Pahliunuk of Fight Club, or Denis Villeneuve of Blade Runner

Last weekend it was a tidal wave of gold star families ripping into Kamala Harris. Normies never heard about it, and they won't hear about this.
If a tree falls in the woods, and MSNBC doesn't tell voters why trees falling is a threat to our democracy, did it happen?

There's no rule you should use the zipper method and alternate when merging, but everybody used it and now nobody does. There's no rule about which car has the right of way when pulling out out of a parking spot or into an active lane of traffic, but everybody knew it and now

I'm not trying to be silly here, and I hope you don't take it like that, but is the barbarity of the killing the objection here? If the animal was put to sleep in a humane manner, would you still object? Or is your wish that all cows go to an elderly cow farm?
@DisgracedProp
Guys constantly ball bust and bully, go to any platoon or locker room or online shooter.
AWFLs don't bust balls or bully. They have no idea how either work. Slop like this is literally what they think masculine confidence is. It's estrogen cosplaying as testosterone.

It's funny how alarmist the culture wars have gotten that I wasn't sure which part I was supposed to be furious at here: a liberal culture so afraid to discipline children that masking tape is now worth a headline? Or liberal teachers presuming to discipline our children?

About five years ago I started getting walked into on the street by white women. I couldn't figure it out at first -- it never happened my whole life, and then suddenly started out of nowhere, and only when I was walking in a city, and only by upper middle class white women who

Your personality isn't the sum total of your consumption.
Liking popular things everyone likes doesn't mean you have no personality.
Does it make someone more fun to hang out with if they pretend to like obscure arthouse cinema and eat weird food?
@wanyeburkett
It's an unfortunate by-product of progressives winning the nature-nurture debate in the court of public opinion and basing all policy off of that win. Genes can't contribute to making some dogs "bad" and some dogs not. All canine aggression must come from environmental factors.

I don't want to be all "blame the boomers" with everything, but as a Gen-Xer who's spent my whole life waiting for a generational transfer of power, only to see the generation before me holding onto power well into their 70s and 80s, often pulling the ladder in behind them, it's

Every man has an awful story about a woman. Are both genders to be defined by their worst representatives? I'm not sure what she thinks the conclusion is. Because everybody has had food poisoning, we shouldn't eat anymore?

People do nothing but watch movies and TV. Gangbangers are all noble samurai. 105 lb girls can throw around Navy SEALs. It seeps into the culture through our entertainment and becomes reality by osmosis.

It's hilarious to watch millions of Democrats, all at once, realize they have no idea who is actually running the country. Welcome to the party, guys.

Of course. They own a TV. They have Netflix. They watch commercials. They see movies.
An extraterrestrial visiting our country and watching an hour of popular culture would be forgiven for assuming blacks make up 80% of America.

I remember when the liberal arts still taught Shakespeare, being blown away at the metric ton of essays written about his plays. Imagine having a field of study so limited that you just endlessly till the same fallow ground over and over. Now it's racism and victimhood.

Yeah, it's the least helpful reply in any conversation. On a cosmic enough time scale literally nothing matters, so why ever talk about anything that isn't about the heat death of the universe? Shut up.

This is apples and oranges. You're saying you'd prefer a woke STEM research university to a non-woke liberal arts degree. Sure, and same. I'd rather do scientific research than read Chaucer too. But would you prefer a woke liberal arts degree to a non-woke one?

Why even have Mr Freeze in this? Let's just cut out the middleman and make it her ex-boyfriend or her hairdresser or the bouncer not letting her into a club or something. Then she can go karaoke with Catwoman and we can make Catwoman her gay co-worker instead.

Perfectly put. I'm happily married. I don't hate ALL women. I hate a VERY specific demographic of ideologically inflexible upper middle class white liberal woman. She values safety over freedom, is scared of everything, distrusts exceptionalism, and hates people like me.

1) It might not honestly be no more complicated than the fact that Biden was always supposed to be a one term president and decided he didn't want to leave.

Exactly. A recent stat came out showing increased virginity in men under 30, and everyone on the right raced to blame porn.
Blame feminism. Men turn to porn because they've been pushed aside.

Also the phrasing. "Doritos acquired," ugh. It's like saying "snackage" or something. It's a product wearing a human suit.

When we say that we don't want Superman to be "political", what we mean is that we don't want Superman to be a leftist. Because that's who writes comic books and movies. So you win. He's going to be a leftist. But don't pretend you don't understand what's happening here.
