Horrible takes delivered right to your doorstep

@occultarus @DanArndtWrites She’s a huge bitch but it’s a front both to hide the fact that she has a huge heart for the people she lets into her life, and also because at her core, Emma Frost is a deeply, deeply terrified and traumatized woman.

@Rukia1994443 One of the reasons no one ever posts clips of Escaflowne past the first episode is because at least half of the entire show is one still shot of an anime schoolgirl staring upward saying “Van…”

[Cow Tools Never Tooled @keblevvil]

@Rukia1994443 Look everyone loves reposting this clip, and Escaflowne isn’t a bad show, but its important to remember that 90’s anime would have exactly one well-animated scene and then be 90% still frames of characters staring at each other

@trent__sh @andrewjg2014 @MikeBirnigglia What fucking primary? You mean the primary everyone wanted to have after the octogenarian had a stroke on live television? The primary that Democrats shouted down because it would have “split the vote”? Or should we have telepathically known in 2020 not to nominate Biden?

@EPM106 A good argument against Joffrey is literally proven by Cersei in the books. She decides to form a national navy, names a Tyrell rival as Master of Ships, builds a new fleet of ships, and gloats to her uncle. The new Master then immediately rebels and fucks off with his new fleet

@loganb Except they do. Or do you think an office building or empty parking lot somehow doesn’t qualify as property? You know you can just build affordable housing instead of that right?

@PooMode69 @bogwitchbooks When written poorly, third-person present does read like a screenplay bogged down by tedious minutiae. When used well though, it achieves a sense of tension and revelation that would be difficult to pull off in any other medium

[Cow Tools Never Tooled @keblevvil]

@PooMode69 @bogwitchbooks Third-person present is typically more common in short fiction or in a limited format, like for a certain chapter in a novel. It conveys a sense of continuous action to the reader. It’s being used more commonly in long fiction, but still very rare in genre fiction

@uskglasses I don’t hate the player when honestly the problem has always been the fanbase. Sanderson delivers exactly what he wants: simple puzzle mysteryboxes held together by magic systems. It’s the fans who demand regular releases like on an MCU schedule

@DanFriedman81 Aaaahhhh a book about a woman aaaahhhh a book about a queer person ahhhh my horizons they might be broadened. Luckily I’m not a snob that’s why I read totally approachable books like Infinite Fucking Jest

[Cow Tools Never Tooled @keblevvil]

@DanFriedman81 What’s great about this post is that it’s an entirely different kind of snobbery, a snobbery of ignorance where someone who doesn’t read books can look down on literature and reduce the entire field of literary fiction in the past thirty years to “women and gays”.

@nuhre_ I think a lot of people forget that most of these games came out during a time when Brown and Bloom: Military Soldier 4 was about 80% of the entire gaming market. These games were each exceptions to the norm, and in many cases were the last gasps of their respective genres

@V_R_Ghost @Skylinex13 I mean yeah it’s tied to the genre, but it pretty much reached its peak with a literal lone gunman who’s superpower is committing mass shootings. And you can write as many stories of Frank killing cops or Nazis as you want, but his whole concept is inherently fascist

[Cow Tools Never Tooled @keblevvil]

@LydiaJ007 It’s dumb because the poster doesn’t describe any actionable differences in strategy or tactics, he basically just says the WW2 equivalent of “nah, I’d win” when describing the most unwinnable military situation in modern history

@bibles4booze I make that commute near daily. It’s around 7 if you go from train to BART, maybe 9$ if you take a bus after. But there’s like a 5$ up charge to ride the BART directly to the Oakland airport, which is probably what this lady did

@oddkoffee @chicmelon_ And it also doesn’t address that the main reason students are using AI is that they see it as a shortcut, not just because they’re bored or uninterested. They want to skip the practice stage of investment so they can accomplish in 2 minutes what might take them an hour

[Cow Tools Never Tooled @keblevvil]

@oddkoffee @chicmelon_ While I understand this argument, it doesn’t really address that interest in education can’t really compete with addictive habits and technologies. Like I can try to get students to see how cool reading can be, but it’s harder than ever when I’m also competing against TikTok

@heyitscookie Source: my ass

But yeah I bet Invincible is barely surviving on a shoestring budget, I mean their voice cast only has over FORTY major celebrities compared to Hazbin’s…one? I’m sure that has no possible impact on their animation budget. Or the 40+ minute episodes

@RedCometRamon @bobo_circus In the fantasy genre? Try reading fantasy written with a more literary style, i.e. Black Leopard Red Wolf, The Spear Cuts Through Water, Lions of Al-Rassan.

Outside the fantasy genre just pick up any fiction book. It's important to read outside your preferred genre now and then

@Alexjones92192 @bigtenburner @TheIllegit @ThiccStauskas A man was choked to death by the very people sworn to uphold the law either out of a mixture of bigotry, aggression, or sheer incompetence, and were only held acccountable because of a random bystander, but lord forbid we lose an AutoZone
