My patron saint is Mossberg.
Trying to figure out how I’m supposed to get a good leg press in somewhere where there’s no machines for it in reasonable distance; especially disappointed that the highest resistance band grade looks like ‘what I started leg pressing with in high school’.
BTS, isn’t that the k-pop band that stole like all of D’angelo, Pharrell, and Timbaland’s production styles to put over-produced, over-mixed vocals over those bitten styles that were devised by a tighter focus group than anything American pop ever released? Those figureheads of an ultra-toxic-industry?
Typical.
Sheer, unmitigated disgust. Hatred, even. It’s like every single potential field of work or industry that I wanted to go into as a child, America has already perverted, polluted, and weaponized for Empire. And I know even if I got to a point in robotics where I could set my terms for what the Empire could and couldn’t do with my machines, they’d either just kill me and take it, or secretly fund some anglo sheepfucker to Edison my shit. Then kill me afterwards.
Fuck’s the point? Fuck’s the point of going into anything fabrication-related?
As is their constant modus operandi…
Essentially, that and Far-Right Extremists are radicalizing police BOOTs.
Mmmmh-mmmh, listen to that throttle roar. This baby’ll go from 0-100 real quick.
Wonder how long it’ll take the techbros to start eating their own tbh
The letter presents Lowkey as a rabid anti-Jewish racist on the grounds that he claimed that Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish heritage has been exploited by the media in order to shield Western governments from scrutiny of the Nazi groups they are arming and training in Ukraine.
And Lowkey is absolutely correct, I even gave that kind of maneuver a tactic name after seeing it deployed both against Palestine and against those who take umbrage with aligning with nazis-- the “Israeli Castling” maneuver. Ever played chess? If not, Castling is basically a defensive maneuver where typically, your king gets pocketed in a corner to swap with one of your rooks.
The nazi collaborator is the king, Judaism is the rook.
I genuinely love seeing BAR getting reposted here.
Oh, very much a good way. It’s like, the world it constructs around itself is for the most part, a while before Merlin would come to accompany that Arthur, so i suppose a more clear read would be that it sort of takes on its own kind of identity, while still retaining the epic, ‘land-spanning’ kind of tale.
Oh either or, it’s just typically not my groove independent of era. Barron’s work, though, it’s easy to forget you’re even following that Merlin as the world draws you further and further into it, which imo, is a VERY strong point in dispelling that Arthurian feel.
When one can give me a singular exemplary reason for ‘patriotism’ towards an entity that stands for colonization at the point of a gun, and slavery at the end of a bullwhip, maybe then I’ll believe these patsy fuckwits have a point. Might still flip 'em the bird and scuff their shoe on my way out anyway.
I go back to House of Leaves whenever I feel like I need a mental tune-up. It’s been a very House of Leaves winter for me. As for suggestions for good fantasy, have you given T.A. Barron’s “Lost Years of Merlin” series a try? It was one of my first; and coincidentally, one of the only pieces of fantasy tied to Arthurian mythos that I actually enjoy.
Hearing stuff like that honestly makes me question how much the sheer will to live has a factor on these things, sometimes
