@KidKnievel There was a show way back in the 70's, it was basically the Newly Wed Game, the contestants consisted of three people teams: a husband, his wife, and his secretary. It was basically asking the women if he had ever done X with the other woman. Damned thing was more or less designed to instigate divorces for the audience's amusement. I think it only lasted 1 or 2 seasons.

@BowsacNoodle Give it a Terminator style energy source that last 120 years, and you have the beginnings of a decent post apocalyptic story. The old joke was most players of fantasy role playing games and of fantasy movies treat horses like meat motorcycles. With this they finally could.

@Humpleupagus @James_Dixon @KarlDahl @PraxisOfEvil @TrevorGoodchild @deprecated_ii I always thought that line best represented the evil of the machines in that movie. It represents the basic anti-human impulse that lies at the foundation of all leftoid thought.

@TrevorGoodchild @KarlDahl @PraxisOfEvil @deprecated_ii As someone with no training in economics, "line must always go up" has the feeling of a sweaty, jittery junkie casting about for his next fix. Getting clean can suck, but it's always worth it.

@cowanon @nihilvt @The_Almighty_Kek I remember a history teacher telling us one day that in earlier times, Greeks, Romans, and others thought that having a crush, falling madly in love and getting married because you were madly in love was considered a kind of madness and a kind of curse. I didn't understand that then. It just didn't compute. Wasn't that the only reason to get married.
It's only in my later years having learned more of history and human nature that lesson began to make sense. Historically most marriages were arranged to one degree or another, or at least the parents had a great deal of say over who married who. Love often came later, after time spent together, after the couple had struggled and overcame difficulties together.

@BowsacNoodle Also if they're really raising the H1B1 application fee from $10 to $210 and limiting it to one application at a time per Indian, that would go a long way to stemming the tide of jeet slave labor.
Every time I'm about to get kind of black pill on the Orange Goofball, a little something comes out that makes me say, "OK, I might be able to work with this."

@p @skylar @judgedread -Opening crawl: "First of all, fuck Kathleen Kennedy ..."
-Beginning 25 minutes are just scenes of Leia like slave girls
-15 minute of an almost Mad Max like chase scene involving droids, bounty hunters, sith, and jedi
-"OK, now that we've cleansed the palate, let's proceed with movies based on the Zahn novels."

@cowanon @EvolLove @Littletoad Is there someone they haven't historically hated? Seems everyone they came in contact with became Amalek at some point or another: Greeks, Romans, Europeans in general, Muslims, Russians, Americans, etc.

@Umlaut Too fat, too old, too lazy, and most of all he realized he wrote himself into a corner. He can't bring the thing to a satisfying conclusion without betraying his initial vision. You can't really make a story people will end up being happy with if you're a perverted, bitter materialist with a hate boner for Christianity and Tolkien.
He set out to make a story that refuted ideas like honor, bravery, objective good and evil, a story with "real" politics and "real" people, where the only thing is power and people striving for it. The result was a story about awful people doing awful things, where everyone dies or is fucked over, but people stupid enough to try and be honorable die and are fucked first and hardest. No karma, no real justice, no possibility of grace. You can't make and conclude a fantasy story where all the characters are shitty people and no one pays for being shitty in a way that makes the reader happy with it. Fantasy readers want adventure and wonder and drama, sure, but they also either want a hero, or at least see the bad guy pay for being bad.
I think Rape Rape Martin realized this by the time he finished the last book he wrote, and it was really driven home by seeing what the TV people did with the story. His world only has villains and fools, both of whom drown in blood, and you can't end on a satisfying note with those.

@grey A career in "foreign development" means he helped corrupt foreign officials obtain US taxpayer money our corrupt politicians showered across the world so it so some of it could be funneled back to them or their friends. The man is little better than a jumped up pimp or money launderer. My sympathy, like my fucks, are completely exhausted.

@Jonny Every tweaker is on his way to the nearest Home Depot with a smartphone and ICE on speed dial as we speak. Snitching on illegals is a lot safer and easier hustle than identity theft and check fraud.

@unclebubba He looks like a very nerdy version of Dracula if such a thing were designed by Seinfeld.

@ThatWouldBeTelling @Honkers The scale of an antifag riot depends largely on funding from rich Team A players. The level of such riots, whether on Inauguration day or later in Trump's term, will be a useful metric with which to measure the system's level of active resistance to the Big Orange Goof.
I suspect there will be only a relatively few diehard antifags out that day. Most of the money men seem to be laying low right now, or even playing ball.

@KarlDahl @sickburnbro @Jens_Rasmussen Never, ever talk to a journalist. They never want "your side of the story." A journalist only ever wants to talk to you so that, at best, you can give them a quote that bolsters the story they have already written, a story that is at odds with your interests, politics, and values Or worse, it's to get you to say something they can then use to destroy you.
If people stop talking to journalists, then these enemies of the people wither and blow away on the wind. You should no more talk to a journalist than you should gift an enemy ammunition during a shooting war.

@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @SmidgePierce Stick around long enough to watch HR and managers have conniption fits as their "brown people are innocent angels" and "only ever hire jeets" programming conflict with their "Nazis are the devil" programming. Then when I'm fired for laughing hysterically, I sue them for not respecting my mental disability that causes me to laugh inappropriately. Collect money, and retire to Fiji to live out the dream.

@Kalogerosstilitis2RevengeoftheJunta @SmidgePierce Well, the really affordable places are also places where a rich American is likely to be kidnaped and ransomed.

@Eiswald Man, that's a long winded, highfalutin way of saying "I really like an easily exploitable, permanent underclass of brown people brought into the country via sketchy means because I can pay them slave wages while treating them like shit; things I can't do if I employ native born citizens. In fact, I like that set up so much it doesn't really matter if my modern day slaves do horrendously substandard work. My company will make planes that fall out of the sky and computer apps that brick your phone, but as long as I can lord over a factory or office full of fawning jeets working for $9 an hour while maxing out the numbers on the reports for the next couple of quarters, I'm happy as a pig in shit."
