In case people were unaware, this references a real event where a man posted an ad for a man willing to be killed and eaten.

Apparently the gop doesn't need a policy to win. Harris lost to someone who just promised vague amounts of success without literally a single concrete plan in place. Maybe the dems just need to treat the voters like they're the dumbest fucking people on the planet and promise everything will turn to rainbows and unicorn shit with nothing to back it up.

Legalize weed, provide universal health care, give a job with a million dollar salary to every single citizen, create high speed rail across the entire country, fix the ecosystem, stop every war on earth, approve an annual day where you can legally slap your boss, etc etc. Then if asked for specifics just say they have concepts of a plan.

Why should dems bother doing anything concrete? Seems like the country is dumb enough to vote for anyone who tells people what they want to hear.

I thought futurama fought it by pushing the earth into a more distant orbit by means of robot ass blasting

What about the kids who wouldn't die under kamala but now will? You say less genocide is the same, but even if it's 10% less, I bet those 10% of kids would want kamala.

In a sort of actual parallel to this, Richard Adams claimed there was no political allegory in Watership Down, and just a story he told to his daughters.

One of the best cases for death of the author I've ever seen (with Bradbury's comments about Fahrenheit 451 being a close second).

On a semi-related note, a friend of a friend got to know a Japanese woman through a mutual friend group, and apparently after finding out that he had some decent culinary skills she texted him "I want to taste your cook".

Texas is no punishment for (wealthy, connected) guys like him. But I'm ok with it if we put him on house arrest so he can't fly to cancun the next time people are freezing to death in his state.

Can you imagine if a 12 year old saved democracy with werewolf art?

That Nukem Guy amped up Knee Deep in the Dead (minus the secret level) by adding assets from Doom 2. It's nothing crazy but the difficulty really ramps up when you're expecting a few imps and cacodemons and you're met instead with revenants and pain elementals. Fortunately the SSG makes an appearance to level the playing field. > > DL the WAD here
