Yeah it's god-awful but it taps into something honest. I'll take it over Jingle Bell Rock or Holly Jolly Christmas.

Tbh I don't think the name was really relevant. It's not like either dungeons or dragons are inherently offensive things to Christians.

Nonsense moral panic can from anywhere, a title is no defense against it. Remember when Mass Effect was accused of basically being a sex simulator on Fox News? Anything can be twisted if you try hard enough and your audience is unquestioning. Partners and Pilgrims huh? Partners... more like PROLETARIAT. This reds are trying to teach collectivist propaganda to our kids, and wrapping it in the veneer of the pilgrims!

Good lord I can see the Chick tract.

I believe it's also present in sled dogs. I seem to recall there was an arctic expedition that had to eat their dogs, and they suffered from this too. The guy who ate more of the liver than the other died. This is from something I read loving aaaaages ago, when I was like 10, so I may have gotten some details wrong.

"Well actually, if you look at ancient texts, you'll see that "The Eye of the Needle" was a name for a small gate into a city, so you actually could get a camel through it if you went slow and blah blah blah so that's why billionaires are good Christians."

This is handy because I want to get dumped in the ocean. I don't particularly care what ocean, and I want to get cremated first so don't think this is some kind of concrete and chicken wire job, but yeah.

There are all kinds of hosed up beliefs people hold about other races, up to and including something like 40% of medical professionals think that Black people physically feel less pain (I didn't bother to look up the statistic about this but I read something about it a while back)

Or this stuff in textbooks:

My Woody Allen story is picking Annie Hall from the sad collection of DVD's at the Red Cross. I then got hooked up into the platelet donation machine where I can't move my arms or get up for 3 hours and realized 20 minutes in that I did not want to watch this film. So like that scene from Clockwork Orange.

I do recall liking his moving about the Napoleonic wars in Russia though. So maybe Woody Allen is just insufferable in New York.

Boomerous has asked me two things. One, I am to procure him a car so he can go upstate on his own. Be it a rental, loaner, or just buy a new car he needs to go upstate this weekend to show face and by god he will! He really needs to go up to pick up mail, utility bills, the lawn, so he can pay them. He has all bills for upstate sent to the house upstate. This is to ensure that the locals; beit the utility company, post office, anyone, thinks that the home owner resides in the house and doesnt actually live in NYC. By sending mail there, and going up once a month he ensures that we are not robbed. ADT does nothing.

He also asked me to help him update his voter registration. Boomerous asked me to help him vote. Now I know he loves Trump, I know he loves republicans. But his voting habits are odd. You see when we go back to his paranoia of The Jew, this carries over to his voting habits. He votes straight incumbent ticket for NYC, all seats. So for local NYC elections hes been voting incumbent/Jewish since 1970. This is because he believes that NY state itself is entrapped by the (Dem-Jewish)Machine Politic and thus to vote against it is futile and injurious to your success. He has voted local Dem since the 70s since why fight the power base, just ingratiate yourself into the structure and never leave. Yes he believes in Taqiya, its ok to suppress your inner morals and convictions to to gain profit!! Oh wait thats just capitalism.

But whats extremely topical is that Boomerous is in the middle of the a move. He is currently, slowly, abandoning his rent controlled studio to move in with my mother. This has been a 3 year process. But he isnt making anything definitive on paper. The rent controlled apartment requires him to state its is primary residence, or face eviction. Hes moving in with my mother into a coop, which requires you to state its your primary residence (and provide a copy of your taxes) or face eviction. Now we all know thanks to Jacob Whols indictment, providing information to the gov when registering to vote WONT alert your activity to any authorities and cause an immediate investigation.....But Im not touching this at all.

It wasn't written specifically for him but Jones himself has said that the movie took on a whole new meaning when he became the main character and he very deliberately worked that into the film . Keep in mind that this movie was released in 1968 just months after the assassination of Martin Luther King, racial tensions were extremely high at the time and while you maybe could possibly give the ending of that movie the benefit of the doubt later on there is no way audiences in the late 60s and early 70s had such an ambiguous interpretation. Even if they didn't literally kill him because he was black (I see it as completely intentional) in the film the implications of that imagery and how Cooper interacts with Ben is undeniable. They dispose of his body in a way that looks like a lynching has taken place.
