Find out what they seem most passionate about and get them talking about that. Ask questions and try to illicit some sort of deeply held or very sincere statement or beliefs, at which point shout “AND TO THAT I SAY:” and make a huge loud fart.

Names for pets that would also suit a goblin. Wickershins. Elphie. Breadstick. And what have you.

They’re lib as shit but their motion design is really nice.

Sometimes a cigar is a cigar AND a dick

We don’t have to build shit. There are masculine, cool leftists. There have always been masculine, cool leftists. The problem isn’t that there’s some heretofore undiscovered way of being for men and teenaged boys, it’s that all leftist figures are rejected by democrats and their supporters, and so all they have to choose from are corporate, intellectually dishonest careerists who have no hope of masking how fucking square they are for any sustained amount of time.

He’s basing his picks on whether they’ve been on tv enough for their name to sound vaguely familiar to him. He’s choosing his cabinet the way most people vote.

Miller falling into proverbial lava and a more aggressive, delusional lickspittle like Inferno replacing him actually sounds more likely than him just keeping his job for four years.

Jake is both Trump and RFK. A bullet grazed his head leading to him getting a worm in his brain. Marco is Anthony Scaramucci.

I kind of empathize because Animorphs, Star Trek, Simpsons and Beast Wars permanently imprinted on my brain in a similar way. The difference is that I know to compartmentalize my child-brain and not trivialize adult issues by publicly saying things like Steve Miller is the Skorponok to Trump’s Megatron, regardless of how true that statement is.

Probably that sexy rabbit from zootopia. Hey guys is it okay to like her even though she’s a cop?

I’m gonna become the joker

Even when they want to “openly discuss the elephant in the room” they have do it with passive, indirect language.

From our point of view, wouldn’t the largest possible group of people having their faith in the democratic institutions of the US shaken be a good thing? It kind of softens the wall of “the US system of government was created by demi-gods and is the best of all possible systems” propaganda that you have to pierce to have a meaningful dialogue about class warfare.

This reeks of 4chan

Even when I was a lib, it chaffed me that they changed the violent uprising/riot from the end of the book to blowing up a single empty building and taking to the streets in an unrealistically controlled, directed manner. It’s been a while, but I think the monologue even implied that the country’s government isnt even being overthrown, just reforming as a liberal democracy with this single bombing acting as a “warning” towards them.

It reminded me of the V for Vendetta movie where they bent the universe on a way that’s didn’t make sense so they could make it about bush doing 9/11

If he’d just thrown in a “now beat it, buster” there’d be no recovery

A Thiel/Vance vs Musk power struggle over who can wield more influence over the puddle of tapioca that is Trump’s mind is a possibility I had not considered, but it is extremely stupid and so will probably happen.

You’re probably joking, but I actually just shuddered.

The misery of gamers isn’t that surprising to me. A lot of them probably didn’t start gaming because they were particularly drawn to it, there was just nothing else to do.
