A bit torn on this, tbh. 'Cause on the one hand, good - fuck that guy. He's trash and he deserves to be thrown out for being trash. But on the other hand, as far as I'm aware, none of those priests that fucked children were excommunicated. So according to the head of the catholic church, slagging off the pope is worse than fucking children? Seems like a weird set of priorities.

It'd be wasted breath, really. Trump will never step down, because he's trying to remain out of prison. If he loses, then there goes any chance he had at pardoning himself for his numerous crimes. So he's not only the far and away favorite Republican candidate, but he's also highly motivated to stay in the race for personal reasons. No appeal to his sense of patriotism will work to get him to step down because he has no patriotism. He's in it for himself and himself only.

Biden, on the other hand, is just the default Democrat guy because he's the incumbent, and the party figured that'd be enough to win, and so haven't been trying very hard. And that has everybody terrified, because if he loses, then we get another 4 years of Trump, and probably never get to vote again. Basically, people are calling for Biden to step down because the stakes are way too high to fuck around.

My parents didn't just refrigerate bread. They stuck excess bread in the fucking freezer.

Edit: guess I've been sleeping on the freezer bread thing. Y'all seem pretty sold on the concept.

Yeah, that's fair. I mean, I hadn't heard of this idiot, and I've heard of Andrew Tate, so I didn't place them on equivalent footing in any sense other than ideology. And yes - I'm a big fan of map painting games, like EU4, and the sheer quantity of people who are overtly racist in that community is fucking staggering, so I get it.

Oh, trust me - I wasn't putting his shitty views on the HEMA community in general. I'm friends with a couple of people who like to put armor on and bash the shit out of eachother. I don't understand it, but they're good people, and they wouldn't do shitty things like gaybash, like these fucking chodes are doing. So basically, they're, like, right-wing LARPers? Like, they strongly identify with the crusades because they want to fantasize about killing people different from them?

God, I loved that game. I have spent so many fucking quarters in pizza parlors on that shit.

I'm an elder Gen X. Who are these people? Why should I care about them? Does their limited literacy and obvious homophobia have an impact on the wider world in general?

Edit: Sorry; I didn't notice the youtube link initially. I am shame.

Anyway, I'm like 30 seconds in now, and it's two fucking morons in shitty Costume City versions of chain mail talking about issues they're wildly unfamiliar with, and somehow they've got, like, 100k followers? WTF? Am I just taking crazy pills?

Edit edit: So, like, are these chodes like the Australian version of Andrew Taint?

You can't spell manslaughter without laughter.

So are the "elite" brigades just the ones that aren't comprised entirely of prisoners at this point?

A really good example of this is when humans decide in Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Children of Time"

Way to stick it to that drone!

You make an excellent point. Maybe Thomas Midgley, Jr. was actually an alien bent on the destruction of Earth's galactic expansion potential. He was, after all, the person responsible for both leaded gas, and chlorofluorocarbons.
