I hate it. It's why you have a lot of immigrant Indian men up-and-coming in the US Republican party and US conservatives in general.

Indian conservatism is just as bullshit if not moreso than US conservatism.

I have drawn myself as a chad and you as an ugly wojack so my position is clearly the correct one.

Windows users hate this one neat trick.

I'll admit, the reason I ended up reading the whole article were the words "Ben Schwartz."

Scott Aukerman is an absolute wreck over this news.

That was closer to a remaster of the original though, wasnt it?

Source: played the shit out of both. Seemed just like mostly ported to PC from PS2 to me. Reroll feels very accurate to the OG.

libel intensifies

Print, it's text being "published" by the website you're posting it to.

Also, in the context of the meme, he isn't saying it, he has a printed sign alleging it so. Thus, libel.

I wonder if all the pro pumpkin spice stuff is a backlash against all the anti pumpkin spice stuff that was going around a while back.

Oh yeah, it definitely is. A lot of it is because a lot of weirdos like pumpkin spice, too. It got labeled as a "basic" thing as though being boring and enjoying simple pleasures isn't what's available to most people living in poverty, which when 60% of the US lives paycheck to paycheck... is the majority of people. Most people are boring because it's what we have access to and time for, and a lot of folks are done being vilified for it as though your choice in coffee speaks to some larger issue about you. It doesn't.

It's really in many ways an unintentionally classist dig on people who like sweets or just simple things.

Indeed, there's not as many passionate Nogg Hogs.

No problem. I remember being mildly irked about it at the time, because while I disagree with his choice to make that donation to that group, and understand the feelings of LGBT people working at Mozilla and how knowing his politics impacted them... He handled the public response to it professionally. He didn't double down like conservative politicians these days and start shouting about "gays are groomers" or something. He owned it and stepped away, which should at least speak to him not being completely homophobic and able to take ownership of how his personal politics affected others. You see so little of that these days, that when someone acts professionally after perceived wrongdoing, it seems sad when people don't recognize it.

Also, I never saw any news of him being proven to have made any discriminatory moves while in Mozilla at all. I could be wrong, but I don't remember employee complaints of being treated differently before the news of his donation broke. Like I said, I can understand how that news can change how you feel about your boss, but if your boss never made an outward show of it in a work environment and a news report on his political donations is what it took for you to know his politics... it means he was probably being pretty fucking professional at work and trying to not let his personal politics infect how he treated his coworkers and employees. *shrugs

I don't know why disheveled Tom Hiddleston is so hilarious to me as "broke caffeine addict" because the look is far too fitting.
