Pretty cool. My daughter and I grooved on this while we walked to her school this morning. Nice tempo-setting song for walking... and we may have free-form danced in the process. Love Daughter-Dad walks!
Llamas, the preferred meat choice of hungry b'ars... although it should be noted that Hungry Man did take a sheep dish to go...
I think that the ranchers in the future, in an effort to manage food cost and inventory control, just put in drive-thrus for their ursine customers...
Here, kitty, kitty...
I concur. Wail and shred, good sir.
Cringe bait
It's like she was practicing the drunken monkey style of kung-fu. I wonder at every flail of her limbs. I hope she was okay.
Labels. Labels. Labels.
Seems like this crowd is more interested in anger, shite talking, and lathering themselves and others into a nasty, frothy frenzy over "oppression," than they are in just being nice humans.
Folks, drop the labels and begin being genuine, caring, and loving humans. Any other than that and you're just showing you have pride (pun intended) in hateful things.
Nah, just bisexuals.
Read slowly and deliberately...
And while doing so, please don't ignore those itchy feelings that ripple underneath your skin as if to say: You're seeing this movie, again or for the first time, as it is being produced. Ukraine is the new Albania, much to the delight of a certain mockish President...
Yes! Hilarious! Watch it dozens of times, then share.
Fuck yeah!

they posted a full version lol it’s mr Stacy’s dad for me
Where do these people come from? Is there some hole in space that vomits forth moronic, race-baiting douche canoes, whose entire existence hinges upon them "connecting all the dots" to make everything about race? Hey, if you want to change things, then start having conversations and interactions with people while neglecting skin pigment. Focusing on skin pigment is wrong any way you look at it. People should be recognized for the value they possess, not their ancestry. When you rant about race and "take up the cause" for others who did not necessarily ask you for those things, you are truly mocking them and shoving them into controversy. Let it the fuck alone! Do some good ok, instead of adding to the bad...
Something I think a lot of fantasy roleplaying fans don’t pick up on is that the reason many games’ depictions of orcs and other “monstrous races” get criticised for being racist isn’t just because they’re dark-skinned and evil.
I mean, yes, there’s that, but it’s also that a lot of the tropes that are associated with orcs and such in fantasy RPGs are literally eugenicist rhetoric – and, more specifically, anti-Black eugenicist rhetoric – with the serial numbers lightly sanded off.
Like, you ever notice how common the following elements are?
Being capable of using complex tool and weapons, but relying on raiding and pillaging to obtain them, not because they’re incapable of making them, but because they’re simply too congenitally lazy to do so
Having an intrinsic drive to despoil and corrupt the fruits of civilisation, and in particular, taking pleasure in destroying beautiful things specifically because they’re beautiful
Being treated as childishly superstitious for believing in evil spirits, even though such treatment makes no sense from a worldbuilding perspective because they live in a fantasy setting and evil ghosts are objectively real
Reproducing rapidly and reaching sexual maturity quickly, typically at an age when a human would still be a child, with great emphasis placed on the danger of them “outbreeding” civilised peoples if left unchecked
Lusting for the women of other species, resulting in all manner of twisted half-breeds; “heroic” members of their kind are typically drawn from these half-breeds, who must struggle constantly with their base natures
Seriously, a lot of this stuff is copied and pasted directly from 19th Century eugenicist screeds about the intrinsic inferiority of the Black race – they basically just scratched out the n-word and wrote in “orc”.
(And no, you can’t pass it off as folks imitating Tolkien without realising what they were doing. While Tolkien’s orcs undeniably employ racist imagery and stereotypes, there it’s mostly anti-East Asian stuff, not anti-Black stuff. The incorporation of explicitly anti-Black tropes into fantasy fiction’s depiction of orcs is a more recent development, and at least some of the folks doing it absolutely knew what they were up to.)
What in the actual FUCK kinda post is this?

Don’t lowball the agent. The previous couple tried, and it ended badly.
Death is on the move, greenlighted by the government in all its infinite, unwavering wisdom and intelligence. Remember: you can run, but you can't hide... Actually, you can just walk and you're probably elude these stormtroopers. Tip: just head for some stairs...
