The Dad Stare can be a very powerful tool in your arsenal when properly and strategically deployed, but as often as not it just happens because a reprimand is suddenly required and you don't want your child to know you can't speak because you're still subtly chewing a carrot.

@dyingscribe I hung out with my professors quite a lot. Talked shop, politics, joked around, went to lunch, it was great.

Not a common thing though.

@ChampionsOTIce Those cowards at Cygames left this out of Umamusume.

@Brian_Sauve Whoa now, let's not go nuts. Susan ain't gonna pitch in for the bake sale if we tell her her fourth marriage might not be scripturally sound.

[Magnus Johnson @ShmunRobertson]

@ReviewsPossum The women in the replies there really will just uncritically believe any old bullshit, huh?

[Magnus Johnson @ShmunRobertson]

@joe__touring I gotta be honest, man, I spent the last couple years in the Lehigh Valley and I have never hated a place more. Cannot wait to be back in Texas, with its myriad of problems I already know how to deal with.

What I'm getting lately from NSFW discourse here is that quite a lot of users are so chronically jobless that they don't know what the W means and why something might be inappropriate.

Goodness, what a melodramatic little fairy.

[New Left EViews @NewLeftEViews]

The United States of America were founded by wealthy slave owners and arch-Stuart reactionaries who rejected their monarch because he couldn’t prevent Parliament from taxing their colony, whose violent settler peasantry just wanted to continue murderously expanding their frontier.

They were one of the last countries to abolish slavery and didn’t become a formal democracy until the 1960s. Their advantage of being a freer and more open society was short-lived and their attempt to build anything resembling a social state crumbled. Instead of a society of mass affluence, they ended up with a barbaric carceral system of historically unprecedented proportions, a top-heavy rapaciously extractive economy, a state thoroughly captured by oligarchic interests.

The last decades have been marked by America’s centrality to nearly every damaging social, cultural and ideological trend. It continues to export its accelerating domestic psychoses to the world. It has become the ultimate destabilising hegemon, blundering around like dying ogre, ever swelling a mountain of rotting corpses.

American isn’t the cause of all ill in the world, but the increasingly nihilistic, zero-sum social culture of contemporary capitalism, that has ramified into every corner of society, is fundamentally American, and the umbilical chord is very much still attached. There is no Post-American world—but with a little luck there will be one day.

Happy 4th of July

@st_louis_stan They wanna feel like they've got that dawg in 'em.

@DissentFu Hang on, you've been in the workforce for nearly as long as I've been alive and have *nothing* to show for it? I've known pizza delivery drivers with more respectable retirement prospects!

[Magnus Johnson @ShmunRobertson]

@realchasecurtis @DAKKADAKKA1 Hey man.

That looks pretty good, and I hope you enioyed it.

I'd sample that brisket.

Dude looked at his wife's kids and thought, "I should've killed you when I had the chance."

[Richard Hanania @RichardHanania]

Having children has made me a lot more pro-choice.

Taking care of children is hard. Part of the payoff is imagining them living full lives as adults.

I don’t know how anyone could find the motivation to take care of them if they knew that wasn’t possible. That’s why only religious people don’t abort in these situations.

@CovfefeAnon Spanking is also an underutilized disciplinary tool for wives, but people get weird about that for some reason.

[Magnus Johnson @ShmunRobertson]

@mentalext @Slatzism Honestly same, but it came to me and I just couldn't let go.

[Magnus Johnson @ShmunRobertson]

Is there a better example today of the sniveling, scheming, sneering little pathetic worm than Kripke? Freud would have a field day dissecting the psychosexual implications of these statements.

[Emir Han @RealEmirHan]

In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke

“Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.”

“People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’

“I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.”

“So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’

“And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”

@CSASuperman @MostlyPeaceful @Protestia She saw something laying flat, surrounded by foreign bodies, and said, "It's just like me fr."

@Ourokairos @reddit_lies No, but you might have to call the Game Warden.

@FallowRealms @Originsingamer @HellcatF6FA @Pirat_Nation Fascinating, I had no idea that no good mods existed prior to Patreon's creation. I must've been hallucinating.

[Magnus Johnson @ShmunRobertson]

I'm frankly astonished and disappointed that the overwhelming response to this is people proudly boasting that they didn't get the joke.

[John Attridge @John_Attridge]

Classic literature just isn't relatable. It is only in the recent past that authors have learned how to write in a way that appeals to contemporary readers
