Fantastic choice of game. PM me if you want to practice 1v1s!

Menagerie I: Exoptable Money and Menagerie II: Presentable Liberty are both quite short and fantastic commentaries on money, corporations, and prison. They’re both free, too.

Because we apply human traits to God, and because being emotionless doesn’t necessarily indicate being higher than someone else.

In most traditions, God is incomprehensible to humans. Polytheistic religions break God down into multiple Gods or Goddesses with different characteristics, which is how they explain all of the events assigned to God. Lightning happens because of Zeus, etc.

For religions that don’t break God down into different aspects, it’s one of those things that kinda justifies itself. Bad things are happening so God is mad, if God is mad he has to have a good reason because he’s omnipotent. That’s where the faith part comes in.

Abrahamic religions especially have a father/child or teacher/student dynamic between God and humans. A major negative of the Fall of Man was that we had separated ourselves from God and could no longer could wander the Garden of Eden.

The implication is that God knows more than us, and to have faith that he acts for the good of humanity even if we don’t understand in our limited knowledge.

We like to think God cares about us.

Take it home, Janice!

I bet that looked so good while tripping

Nonbinary Chappelle???

Yeah, I feel like the first special was harmless.

All he really did was point out that trans people have a longer path toward acceptance than gay people.

But damn, did he quadruple down. Of course it’s the Republicans’ fault now that it’s time to pay the piper.

Honestly from what I understand about people I know in real life, as well as what I see online, woke equals defining the behavior.

So say your character is gay, has a gay lover, and whose story is rather inseparable from their sexuality. That’s fine in the eyes of most Facebook-propagandized anti-Wokers.

But if you say the word gay, if you verbally acknowledge sexuality, if you have your character come out, that’s woke.

For example, Blaire White. She may have backed herself into a corner of misery by only associating with conservatives, but look at how far she got by just not acknowledging gender. Almost everyone she’s around genders her properly.

For some classic class consciousness:

“I think that maybe it was staged,” Tim Dillon said on his show last weekend about the assassination attempt. Dillon, who was previously a staunch Trump supporter, went on to share that Trump should now come out and say, “Some people are going to be upset by this, but we staged the assassination attempt in Butler to show people how important it was to vote for me and how far I was willing to go for them.”

Duuuude. Fucking delusional. He staged the attempt to win the election. Full stop.

You don’t “show people” a lie. You don’t fake a scene for power for other people.

“If you cannot look at this story and use critical thinking skills and have at least some questions, you are the problem and we need you to snap out of it,” Trisha Hope, a GOP national delegate from Texas and former Trump supporter, posted on X about Butler this week.

This one is really key, because this is what everyone that was paying attention was saying when it happened over a year ago.

Except at this point, you just need to have a nondelusional point of view.
