  • I mean, spellings of words change all the time. Hell, when I was in school you’d lose points on papers for spelling “doughnut” as “donut”, but now that shorter version is concidered a correct spelling and is no longer tagged by spell check.

    We as a society can literally will this spelling to be concidered correct through shear usage.



  • Yeah it’s a profoundly stupid take.

    There’s the famous Whoopi Goldberg quote about how as a little kid she saw it with a black woman not beimg a maid and running around the house screaming about it in celebration

    There’s the famous story about Nichelle Nichols wanting to quit to do plays until MLK jr told her that she needed to stay for black people everywhere to be represented as an equal member of the crew, and it was the only show he’d let his kids stay up late to watch.

    From its inception it’s been “woke” by daring to put both a black woman and an asian man in roles where they were to be treated as equals and valued members of the group.

    I’d like to add more examples, but it’s been so long since I’ve watched any star trek.

    EDIT: I just remembered the not at all subtile jab at racism with the two guys that had half black half white faces.




  • Man, I tried multiple times to get into RDR2. I really want to like it, and I love RDR. But my god that game feels like a job with all the small things you need to remember to do.

    Man, even the gun system annoyed me. I’m fine with them having like 4 slots or whatever it was for weapons, but I remember so many times riding to a mission on my horse, selecting the guns I wanted to use and after like 50 feet Arthur would decide “welp, I’m not using these guns, better shove em back in my horse” leadong me to not having a gun ready at the start of a mission. I think that was the straw the broke the camels back for me, just hold the guns I selected Arthur.










  • No, I know, but there appears to be a collective shame here over him. At least from everyone who knows better at least. This moronic con man with the IQ of pudding somehow won, again, but this time with the popular vote. And there’s not just the embarresment that he is, its also the long term damage he’s doing to our reputation. I don’t live that far from canada, and I have personally noticed the dip in the number of canadian plates I see around here, and it hurts. I have more to say but I feel like I’d just be ranting.
