Didn’t the original GTA/RDR writers leave after finishing RDR2 anyway? Another worry I have is that this game will have none of the story/writing that made the previous games great, and is just a Rock star cash grab because they own the IP.
Again, the target audience loves that shit. I don’t know if you’ve watched a game lately, but most of the advertisements now are split pretty evenly between:
The NFL is a money-making machine, and it knows its audience. If they’re doing this, they know their base will eat it up, and I 100% agree. Many people who haven’t tuned in to a game in years will tune in to watch just to show support.
Truly, this is how fucked we are.
Unfortunately not. Their fans love this shit, seriously. Remember they’re the same fans who went feral during the kneeling demonstrations.
I definitely get it. Ecological fallout keeps me up in cold sweats more nights than not. I’m not sure most people realize how bad it could get, either. All the trees in the world don’t make enough oxygen to replace the oxygen we’d need if the cyanobacteria in the ocean dies out, and it’s getting perilous with the acidification of the ocean.
That said, I do still see raising a child well as an act of hope for the future. As a parent, that’s my most important mission. Could they possibly die/suffer? Yes, but unfortunately that’s a risk that all parents run by having a child (and all people run by being alive), no matter what the cause turns out to be. Climate disaster, leukemia, car wreck, it all nets the same thing— pain and suffering for your child. I guess I just take the stance of the Man and the Boy in the Road: we’re the ones that carry the fire, and we have to keep carrying it to keep hope and other good things alive.
I’m not saying everyone needs to have kids though! It’s rewarding, but this shit is hard as fuck. It’s not for everyone. Hell, it wasn’t for me until I aged about three decades and did serious work on myself. Adoption is also an option, though harder to do than most people think unfortunately :/
While many beautiful things are passing away, that implies that there aren’t still beautiful things here worth fighting for. I see value in bringing new people into the world and helping them love it and it’s life like I do. The world needs more people who care fighting for it, not less.
That’s hilarious, 2 was my number one choice, and 5 was runner up if 2 wasn’t an option

You’re missing the context of WHEN THEY ARE the targets. Women are more often on the receiving end for both. Just because one gender gets one type of violence more often, still doesn’t mean they receive more instances of it over the other.
Read this whole thing and tries to shift the focus to himself and how it makes him feel. Amazing. Bear please.
Well somebody’s about to get added to a Signal chat

Damn, its been a while since I’ve seen one of these comics!! Takes me back to deviantart days
I got a kobo recently and like it a lot. I got the sage because the screen is about the size of a manga page, which I knew I would be reading a lot of. I keep it in airplane mode most of the time and use Calibre to load it up. The system works well for me
Okay, but maybe specify that next time. The masses won’t buy used stuff unless prompted, and a blanket statement of ‘it’s okay to like Harry Potter’ without any nuance attached is just gonna give people permission to feel comfortable buying merch, games, Lego, other branded shit which goes directly to her pocket book.
But it isn’t when it comes to Harry Potter. The reason I made the comparison is that JK Rowling is also a billionaire using her wealth to influence legislation against trans people. They are more similar than they are different. Buying Harry Potter stuff puts money directly into her pockets to further her TERF goals.
Michael Jackson is a bit more gray.
Yeah, it makes me physically ill to imagine that for myself.
I feel a bit more sympathy for Grimes than St. Clair since she seemed to actually want to be with this man, as a ‘real’ family at one point and seems to feel quite desperate about how her son is being manipulated now that that hasn’t worked out. Was she being naive? Probably, but none of us can see the future. Much less imagine that someone we love enough to date and have kids with would do something so deranged as hold them hostage as meat shields.
Anyone who volunteers after seeing how he treats his baby mamas and children, though? They get no sympathy from me, personally. Sorry for the kids, tho
Do you know that there’s evidence supporting the idea that when you have a baby, that baby’s DNA hangs out in your body for decades (if not forever, more studies needed on that point)? I wouldn’t want any amount of Elon Musk’s DNA just like…hanging out in me forever. Ew.
Source: an excellent book called Matrescence by Lucy Jones. Came out in 2024 and does a great job of compiling lots of the latest research on pregnant bodies. It’s amazing how much is still missing and we need to learn still about half the population of the world.
Easy to say when you’ve got no skin (or uterus) in the game. Just look at how Grimes and St. Clair and their children are being treated. Both women are terrible right wing scum and had it coming, but I wouldn’t wish someone’s family/babies being manipulated and kept from them by a guy with more money than god on anyone.
Imagine your only recourse for restoring your parental rights being going to court against a guy who can afford to keep the cases going indefinitely. That is the stuff of nightmares.
If you don’t think the same of a vulva, then you’re only outing yourself as having incredibly little imagination/experience with them. CIA couldn’t have gotten that out of me, honestly.
