This is the play for sure. I’ve seen a lot of discussion in the past few days about “what we need to do next time”.

There IS no more “next time”. There won’t BE any more elections, there is no more turning this around. Millions of people stayed home crying about how the Democrats didn’t do enough and even if they fucked up (they did), the people who stayed home and let the Nazis win fucked up worse.

Welcome to the Fourth Reich. We are well and truly fucked.

Block him, Squid. He’s doing this in every thread and you need to put this energy towards more important things.

Free software had a non-free extra bit that it technically didn’t need. Accidentally got changed to need the non-free part in order to run which caused news stories. Now the change has been reverted so it’s free again.

That’s a very evocative outfit. Maybe he could pose with it, in front of a poster that reads “Liberté” and looks like it was created by a high school art student.

Or something. I’m just spitballing.

Arguably his role in Spectre wasn’t great, but I don’t blame him for that at all. If anything, he needed more screen time. Might have saved the movie.

Hey man, Joan Laurer had nothing to do with this.

Yes, this thing is bad.

But what about this other thing?

If only there was a term for the type of argument you’re using…

Whoops, your party put the meteors next to each other again. No prog for you this week!

^Disclaimer: ^I ^never ^made ^it ^past ^T5 ^“on-content” ^but ^I ^heard ^the ^horror ^stories

Donald John Trump comes from a family of real estate speculators.

Akira Toriyama once said he based the character of Freeza on Japanese real estate speculators, who he called “the worst kind of people.” (Source)

Am I saying Trump is Freeza? No, Freeza is several orders of magnitude more competent on his worst day than Trump was when he peaked in 1951. But I think it’s important to underline, for the people in the back, what level of cartoonish evil we’re dealing with, because for some reason people will read stuff like this and it won’t sink in. Maybe DBZ will help.

I don’t know. I’m tired, y’all.

+1 for Archinstall. I’m a Linux noob and getting everything set up was a cinch. Even had a spot to put in my address so I can get my first pair of thigh length striped socks from the AUR.

^that ^was ^a ^joke.

Don’t forget to polish with the woodoo hide!

Houston native spotted. I’m so sorry.

But this behaviour isn’t really new - I used to work at the Whole Foods on Kirby, which caught fire back in… god, 2012 or so? And someone drove up WHILE THE FIRE WAS STILL BLAZING, was informed that the store was closed, and legitimately responded, “But where am I gonna get my coconut water?”

They may be more mask-off about it now, but it’s always been a thing.

People aren’t using Boatlights-tan for desu memes anymore? I really have gotten old.

Just as the founding fathers intended.

Fair enough. I think it’s safe to say that my reply was a little heated. You are, of course, correct. I will edit my comment.

I had to look that up, but you are correct. He said it while out promoting 2049. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Of course they are! I never disagreed with that. They are “more human than human”. That’s not even a counter argument to what I said, which is “this one specific human, who has basically forgotten how to BE human, rediscovers the joy of humanity through his interactions with non-humans who are ironically more human than he is”.

DECKARD👏 IS👏 NOT👏A👏 REPLICANT👏

I will bang this gong 'til the day I die.

The whole point of the movie, besides the cyberpunk dystopia that it created and popularized, is that Deckard is a HUMAN who acts like a ROBOT. He has no joy, no purpose, no meaning. And he rediscovers all of that, ironically, from his interactions with replicants - Roy Batty and Rachael most of all. It’s the Sarah Connor, end of Terminator 2 thought that “if a machine - a Terminator - can learn the meaning of life, perhaps there’s hope for the rest of us.”

And that DOESN’T FUCKING WORK if Deckard is a replicant. Philip K Dick, Harrison Ford, EVERYONE on the production EXCEPT Ridley Scott either knew this or figured it out. But because Mr. Auteur decided to share his braindead take and even cut a scene from a whole-ass other movie into Blade Runner to make you think MAYBE the robot-killer cop is himself a robot because “whoa man how mind-blowing”, now we have to get people saying that’s how it is for the rest of humanity.

Deckard is not a replicant. END OF.

edit: it has been pointed out to me that Harrison has reversed his stance on whether Deckard is a replicant, and my last sentence was factually incorrect in that there IS, of course, ambiguity in the film about who’s a replicant or not. Making Deckard into one, IMO, is still a braindead take that makes the movie subjectively worse, but I should still try to be accurate.
