yamamanamaSomeone on Amazon is selling a copy of Michael and the Magic Man for 50,000 dollars. Well, actually $49,996.01. So I guess the shipping costs make it $50,000. That is not a small number. That is a big number.
For that price, I’m honestly expecting some cardboard taped together with the words HA HA written on it.
Michael says that Ajax should fight the alt-right squad.
I found descriptions of the various influential political identites from left to right and who is part of each identity. I agree with a few of them: Laci Green and Tim Pool are center-right.
On the other hand, the rest of the people on the list: Lindsay Shepherd, Lauren Chen, Pew Die Pie, Styx Hexen Hammer, Ian Miles Prower Cheong, Dankula, Kotaku In Action, Tumblr In Action, Scott Adams, Lauren Chen, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, are all far right. Quillete is probably libertarian or something.
His definition of Centrist Conservative is "anti-PC, anti-establishment media, and supportive of free speech." Or at least, free speech that they agree with. They support Trump. They think the narrative is biased against him. They don't like Islam, believe in gender identity, and are against social justice. He also says the center-right is positive towards same-sex marraige and critical of religion, neither of which apply to Jordan Peterson. His definition of far-right conservative refers to people with racist views, extreme nationalism, populism, authoritarianism, and a hyperfocus on liberals, immigrants, and Muslims.
I also don't think social justice progressive should be a term because progressivism seems to be all about identity politics and social justice in favor of economic policy and mass appeal, a la Democratic Underground.
We have an osprey with a possible fungal lung infection. We have a swan who had a fishhook in his esophagus and he hasn't eaten in two days because of this.
Julia was wearing a t-shirt with horned owls in a blossoming tree.
Someone made us ribs and a bean salad with black olives, carrots, and at least four kinds of bean.
I come home to find that #gurpgork is whining about Jax's ending in Mortal Kombat 11, in which he travels back in time to end the slave trade. That's racist, somehow. Apparently, if white people aren't allowed to own slaves, they'll wither and die.
burning question: how exactly is 450 sidquests supposed to be a selling point? At least Nier admits it’s trolling you with some of its more ridiculous sidequests. For example, early on, a chef wants you to catch some sharks for his shark fin in fried rice and Nier tells him that he can’t really taste the fin so the chef is like oh, well, maybe I’ll just make plain fried rice then. Plus you don’t get anything but some money and some hilarious banter between Nier and Weiss. Also the fishing is better in Nier than it is in some games coughzeldacough.
