  • People like him are the biggest indictment of capitalism. It would be one thing if the Duke Nukem's and Dr Eggman's of the world were on top. They'd have all the money to make their moon bases and obstacle courses for intrepid adventures to navigate. But it's always these fucking losers, the same pencil pushing dweebs that marked people's disillusionment with monarchy. It's not even dweebs who made the haber-bosch process, it's like a guy who privatized open source code with patent fraud or invented the cigarette. This guy would be happier having taken 6pm karate lessons at the local shopping center after being shoved in a locker instead of talking to presidential candidates.





  • I think I'm qualified to talk about this. I work at Langley and it's complicated. Do I get paid to monitor leftists so that I can report posters who post too good so they can get injected with cringe takes and nanobots? Sure. But it's happened just over a dozen times. The reality is that a lot of my peers don't really value my work and will go so far as to demean me and make fun of me.

    This is especially hurtful when my work crush, Sam, says things like "If you can do your work in your sweatpants then you're not really a spy like us." It made everybody laugh and I felt my heart drop. I complain to my manager to plead saying "these are the best posters on the left! We need to be devoting more resources to the cause. Please move Sam to the project so I can show them how important the work is." But of course, Sam is busy with the Juan Gauido project still so they gave me a virtual AI assistant instead, Intelligent Ian.

    Intelligent Ian is anything but. Our SOP demands that I ask it every day for the top 100 most destabilizing hexbear posts. It'll think of some really, really illegal-to-say stuff. However, it's all hallucination. It's complete fabrication. So now the majority of my day, some 80% of my work, is just going around and verifying everything that II is telling me. The freakin Hexbear admins won't give me a government backdoor API so I have to do it all by hand...

    All of this to say that the government is "watching." But internally, you can't really be a POI if they're not interested in my reports. Neither my work crush nor my manager really take me seriously. If you want to talk about a POI, you should talk about my rival, Johnathon China xigma-male . He's been embraced by this community in ways that I could never. The worst part? One time Sam came over to my cubicle and goes "you're a computer person, right?" I nod and then I go over to their computer. THEY HAD A FUCKING JOHNATHON CHINA POST AS THEIR BACKGROUND! He's singlehandedly infiltrated Langley, Hexbear, and is basically taking over the world while I'm sitting here talking about my crush and how nobody respects my spycraft. It's so fucking rough, comrades...













  • Hamilton's off-Broadway engagement at The Public Theater was sold out,[6] and when the musical opened on Broadway, it had a multimillion-dollar advance in ticket sales, reportedly taking in $30 million before its official opening.[145]

    By September 2015, the show was sold out for most of its Broadway engagement.[146][147][148][149] It was the second-highest-grossing show on Broadway for the Labor Day week ending September 6, 2015 (behind only The Lion King).[7]

    Hamilton set a Broadway box office record for the most money grossed in a single week in New York City in late November 2016, when it grossed $3.3 million for an eight-performance week, the first show to break $3 million in eight performances.[150]

    It also won a fuck ton of awards. Libs give a big fuck about Hamilton


  • She is on the order of Rouge from the X-Men cartoon from the 90s. I bet if she put on dramatic lipstick (despite it deviating from the source material) they'd shut up. She's on the order of Korra from LoK. Did Korra ever get transvestigated? They dress Lara up in a bunch of dresses. I even hear the outcry of support for tomboys and muscle mommies. And as far as "accuracy" goes, doing a bunch of parkour, vaulting around traps and tombs would need upper body strength. Phrenology on an animated character is advanced tech. What a strange character to latch onto.

    I remember some argument about Princess Peach in the new Mario movie claiming that they altered her personality to be more girlbossy than she is established to be in the lore. That Peach expresses femme (citing things that weren't getting kidnapped that I don't recall) that gets eclipsed by more masculine traits and basically memory-holed. It's the same way people talk about Nami from One Piece being very mean+money obsessed despite being able to cite times that she's been very nice to every other Straw Hat. Perhaps if Lara were a very flirty cishet and turned into a forward facing all-business explorer people might make a real complaint, but it sounds like she was never like that.

    I can't imagine this is more than tourists being upset instead of being happy while watching Moo Deng. This is the silliest thing ever.
