I sure hope she uses mostly Ayn Rand books because her prose would drive even teetotalers to drink.

Pro-tip; it might be a better idea to go to the profiles of some of the more prolific members here and check out their top responses; youâre a lot less likely to absorb any negative energy needlessly that way.
Plus, if youâre gonna accrue points that fast, then help a sister out and tally them up as you go, posting the sum at the end of your comment, please.

(Seems like lounge topics wouldnât really be applicable since likes there donât apply to badges and whatnot. Plus the whole âdonât talk about fight clubâ thing.)

Nope.
And I wasnât aware that lounge posts donât count; I could have sworn that Iâve gotten badges from lounge comments
Weird.
But if youâre looking for higher point bumps, I know that I personally have a few comments just shy of 25 and 50 likes.

Wait, maybe Godzilla is the size of me and those movies were actually about a tiny little Japan filled with tiny people and thatâs the real tragedy here. Itâs a commentary on how people of all sizes should be treated equally in culture.

While they call themselves gender critical, they take positions that seem gender essentialist.
I think we call that âSocialist.â
I do so as a complement. Others⌠not so much.
I donât think youâll find all that much agreement with this, as it relates to this story, or as a universal truth, around these parts.
Thatâs the crux of the matter, isnât it? The show is very definitely depicting the objectification of women, but is it doing so to reinforce the sense of a grimly unjust and patriarchal world, or is it celebrating objectification as a desirable fantasy? i.e. is the viewer intended to feel comfortable or uncomfortable with the objectification?

Oh, no see⌠us wimmins should just shut up, sit down, and hope that some man comes along and validating us by finding us attractive as they find these half-clad female superheroes⌠itâs a blessing when a guy ogles us, you see, because that is the only way we have value in this world⌠duh!

Basically what these guys are is a revival of mid 20th century fascism, but in our present time of crisis. I am not using fascist here as a term of abuse, but in the descriptive sense. They resurrect a lot of fascist ideas (anti-egalitarianism, racism, anti-liberalism/socialism/communism, anti-democracy, pro-capitalism, religiousity, reactionary traditionalism, etc.), but thanks to fascists starting the largest war in human history, this âRedpill Rightâ tends to be a bit more circumspect about uâŚ
On the bright side, they didnât shoot or beat him to a pulp, so⌠progress, right?

Well, to be fair, if they took over a mall like Black Lives, Iâm sure the cops would at least ask them to leave. Politely, at a distance. You get a different response if you mess with almighty commerce (and a very different response if youâre not white, of course).
I think this lack of reaction is because thereâs a real effort to avoid replicating Waco or Ruby Ridge, in the same way, I was reading, that the IRS is basically not enforcing tax codes to avoid repeating the fallout from over-examâŚ

Good to see the #notallwhitepeople task force has been alerted to this post.
For a simple 250. Now I need to get back to work.
I havenât found a way to hunt out 9 / 24 / 49 point posts for a user ⌠but if I had, I was looking to bump all of yours for reasons.
Damn youâre straight killinâ it, up in here.
