@girldrawsghosts 100% should have stayed that snarky, gritty old gunslinger plus the kid he's sworn to protect. And, frankly, once that story was done? The series should have ended, no more seasons, no tie ins (or passingly at best). Should have just let it have a finite arc, and ended high.

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@girldrawsghosts Having it actually just be a gritty Lone Wolf and Cub plus spaghetti western was why Season 1 and parts of season 2, in particular, was leaps and bounds better than everything after it. It should have stuck to that, not the light-hearted attempt at EU fan service it morphed into.

@ThatClaireKyleG @ReddCinema The funny thing is, they are entitlements, because people who paid into them are, in fact, quite literally entitled to them.

It's just that folk like this have maliciously conflated the concept of entitlements with a SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT, which is not the same thing.

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@MariaPotterNut @SueTee22 @LambentLucien I believe that was the point being made? That Finnish folk (as here) and other northern Europeans talking about potatoes like they come from their countries, is very similar to how Italians talk about tomatoes like they actually come from Italy? When they absolutely do not.

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@HulkingHuss @DapperDomo Yeah. They literally could have just had him reform in a post credit scene to wink at the comic fans, and it would have 100% not made that ridiculous scene quite so absurd, and pleased the comic nerds. It was a DECISION to do what they did.

@JackieWulfVT So most US leftists vote Democrat while holding their noses, and vote in ways to push the party to the left as much as they're able.

A leftist hating the Democrats is... utterly the norm.

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@JackieWulfVT You know most leftists cannot stand the Democratic Party, because it's a firmly centrist party, center left on social issues, but firmly center right on economic issues, and economic positions win over social ones when they conflict. We don't HAVE a left major party in the US.

@avantpunk @womenpostingws it is always funny to me how people don't call them peafowls, when that word is right there, even when they KNOW peacocks are the colorful strutting males, and peahens the females. Like, there's a term for them all, you could just use that one?

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@FroodMultiple @_celia_bedelia_ Sorry, but we men are the ones who cause pregnancy. Consider: a woman can have sex an infinite number of times, but only when a man ejaculates in her does she have any chance at all of becoming pregnant. So, we men should be the primary ones responsible for where our cum goes.

@mister_queenie @leoblaidd It seems far more likely to Xuanyan, and the ribbon the goddess Jiutian Xuannü, since the ribbon voice actor is a Chinese woman, that sword is explicitly a god killer and realm uniter, both seeming to be parts of this story, and that goddess is a war god associated with swords.

@iamAtheistGirl Also how much so very many Christians, too, hate LGBTQIA+ folk. It seems to ultimately boil down to "We hate you but put up with you (for now), but they hate you worse, so side with us! And fuck Pride! You don't need Pride anymore because we're so tolerant of you degenerates!"

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@jakecorshia So, the brute fact position that existence simply exists is more than sufficient. And stating we don't know, and may never know what existence is like beyond the observable universe, is the only honest answer.

It might not be satisfying, but "We don't know" is all we can say.

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@jakecorshia But you cannot simply taxicab the causality seen in the isolated system of the observable universe to existence itself.

We don't even know that infinite regress is a problem, since infinities work differently, most inherently not having a start or finish, just infinity.

@N1ppyTSG @ReviewsPossum The back of my apartment complex is a literal hiking trail, and I can watch otters play in the nearby forested river on the trail.

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@N1ppyTSG @ReviewsPossum My view outside my work while eating lunch, in north central Florida. This is less green than the view out of the back of my home. This is seriously how a massive amount of the US actually looks.

[Jason Steel @Wraithe42]

@iamAtheistGirl Simple rejection of their religion is seen as oppression and forcing something upon them, as is any refusal to allow their religion to dictate policy.

Any mere rejection of their claims and specific subjective moral framework is painted as forcing views upon them.

It isn't.

@DrPloxo @DreamLeaf5 They're also major pollinators. Most feed on flower nectar, the females only drinking blood when getting prepared to lay eggs. A lot of people don't grasp how critical they are to many parts of the ecosystem.
