Unpopular political opinion: LGBT people dont owe the American Left anything. The Left views us as tools. And they LOVE the idea that we have no choice but to align with them because the American Right is so much worse. They're in for a world of hurt. And a big unpleasant surprise.

Political parties are dynamic coalitions of interests. Healthy ones stick together, unhealthy ones dissolve. But for anyone who's been spared an unjust discrimination to be indifferent to another's unjust discrimination is not right. What we owe each other goes before what we owe our political parties.

In a representative system, the first duty of a politician is to their constituents. If the interests of a representative's constituents are in conflict with those of their national party, then the interests of the constituents should take precedence.

The US is politically broken because it's a de facto two party system, which in combination with the hosed up electoral system and the death of rational discourse over the past decades means you're never going to have a sensible solution to anything until the whole system implodes. And when it does it's likely not going to be pretty. e: Wheat Loaf posted:In a representative system, the first duty of a politician is to their constituents.

Ausmund posted:Seeing videos of losers harassing McDonalds employees (whose lives aren't poo poo enough apparently) as a "joke" made me really despise the show and the community. I've never really watched it, but from the clips I've seen it seems like Futurama with no charm. I've seen and enjoyed the show but yeah, the fandom seems lovely and the show itself is kind of mean-spirited.

Half the fandom has this massive pretense about what Rick and Morty is trying to "say" and how it's for smart people and all that poo poo. The other half is garbage memelords like the Szechuan Sauce assholes that harassed McDonalds employees. The fandom is terrible. On the other hand you have segments like the interdimensional TV segments where Justin Roiland walks into the studio drunk, starts doing improv for the TV segments, and they animate around his drunken ramblings and I can't help but find those some of the funniest things on TV.

Yet another show that peaked in season 1.

I’m not one for long prose, so here’s a list. Megadeth is way loving better than Metallica. Dave needs to get over being booted out. Rick & Morty is good, but the people that like it seem to be assholes. I guess you can say that about most fandoms though. GoT is trash. Modern pop music is no better or worse than it was in the past. Souls/Borne are fantastic games, but again, the fandom and dick measuring (Prepare to die!!!1!!!) are embarrassing. GTA4 was actually pretty good, and while the dissonance between Niko’s wanting to be a good guy/murdering 1,000’s of innocent people was silly, I feel that it gets unfairly judged because of that. The entire game wasn’t poo poo just because Niko was unevenly written. Better Call Saul is far superior to Breaking Bad. Football, basketball, hockey and soccer are cool. Baseball is loving boring. Humanity, while having major examples of being poo poo, is ultimately cool and good, and I hope we figure our poo poo out so that my great x10 grand children can live among the stars. Anime was the biggest mistake of all human invention.

The entire game wasn’t poo poo just because Niko was unevenly written. A lot of the writing in GTA4 was mediocre, especially when 5 was so much more vibrant and interesting. I still enjoy it overall, but 5 really impressed me with how much more memorable the characters were and how gripping their storyline was.

Tiggum posted:There's also the fact that the cars are poo poo to drive, the checkpointing and save system are garbage, the gameplay comes second to the (badly written) story and suffers for having to fit into the "cinematic style" they were going for, the combat is tedious and repetitive and the game does everything it can to stop you from trying to have fun in your own way - which should be the entire point of an open-world game. GTA4 is poo poo.

GTA 4 is when the series started taking itself seriously. I've said it before but the first time I flew out of my own windshield driving like I usually do in GTA games I knew it wasn't for me.

I don't know if it really started taking itself seriously, when the immediate sequel is completely, self-consciously ridiculous. Anyway, if you want to see a game that takes itself ¨way too seriously wrt driving and poo poo, check out Mafia, a game that prides itself on its cars being unable to climb a modest incline, and on having to wait for cops to write you a ticket if you go over the speed limit.

GTA 5 was the only one good enough to not wear thin after 5 or 6 hours. I always got bored of those games really quick but the map in 5 was amazing and the story was really dumb and entertaining.
