Funny thing is, that was only his second post. Which is one more than I was expecting.

Wow. Is this the threshold where I can demand a user be instantly and permanently banned, "free speech" be damned? Or am I going to have to do something I'll regret in the morning?

Hang on. That implies that it's not the manufacturers who were responsible for the insane markups in the first place. That can't be right.

This exact same conspiracy theory exists in the US; that's what the "sovereign citizen" yahoos like Cliven Bundy are on about.

He's never had to face any real consequences for anything in his entire life so far; why start now? I'm sure this will magically go away just like every other problem he's ever had, but he'll find a way to throw a hissy fit about it anyway.

Two bills are in the works right now that would severely mess things up: the "Kids Online Safety Act" and the "Journalism Competition and Preservation Act". The latter is just straight-up terrible, as it is just the latest attempt to mandate a "link tax" on anyone who posts a link to a news...

Yeah, he isn't made of gold IRL either. Probably. I dunno, none of us have ever ripped off his skin to find out; maybe someone should get on that.

Attacking a power station that serves an entire county to shut down one thing? Good lord, they're stealing terrible ideas from Ride to Hell: Retribution now!

It does speak to the protests having more power than they expected—which sounds like an excellent reason for them to not stop.

How do "fan dubs" work, anyway? You'd basically have to replace most of the music and sound effects too since there's no way to separate the voices into their own tracks.

So, I discovered something today: This is actually the third time Super Mario has been adapted into a movie. There was an hour-long anime all the way back in 1986 called Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! that only released in Japan. It also follows the "Mario is from...

Geez. It's getting to the point where the right-wingers' version of "moving to Canada" might be... moving to Canada. Because not even the most insane Republican governors have gone as far as to declare soft secession.

The thing is, I don't see the kind of cops who have been murdering people for being black in their presence as being the same sort of people who are OK with Nazis getting punched with impunity. I see them as the type who would make catching Nazi punchers a top priority.

I'm genuinely wondering if they poached some animators from Disney for this, specifically ones who had worked on Wreck-It Ralph, because the facial animation on that Toad saying "Look at us, we're adorable" is giving me some serious Vanellope vibes. Illumination has a pretty distinct house...

Speaking of being arrested, though, would you say that the government has a moral responsibility not to arrest or prosecute people for the blatant case of assault and battery they just committed? And, more importantly, do you have an ounce of faith that they'd actually agree with you, in...

And the source of that problem is that "the arms industry" is even a thing in the first place. I've said before that military contractors should be replaced with not-for-profit firms owned and operated by the government, and you just gave me another excellent reason why.

Personally, just reading about incidents like this send me into a blind rage and makes me wish I had been there so could not just punch him but grab the nearest lethal blunt object and beat him into an unrecognizable mess. I don't know if that makes me a bad person or not. I'm not sure I want to...

This. Unless this guy had the capacity to level the building he was in or something, it sounded like he was the one trapped in there with them. There are more solutions to problems than just killing people, and being incapable of realizing that is why the cops in this country suck.

As Douglas Adams once said, if there's one thing humanity can't afford to have, it's a healthy sense of perspective. Maybe if we make more of a commitment to at least pretend to be outraged by things that should be outrageous, even if it's the millionth time it's happened, the powers that be...

They're impartial enough. Compared to Congress they're practically God.
