@ABortEnjoyer @vidsthatgohard That sounds like literal hell

Bruh honestly this is probably more dangerous than the astronauts doing
spacewalks on the ISS

@Radixoflife @nise_yoshimi Tomino simply doesn't understand. I have drawn from ancient wellsprings of martial wisdom, like that meme where the soldier is blocking knives and grenades from hitting the sleeping kid.

@nickjudin @nise_yoshimi "to save the women and children in the city that stands at their backs"
This shit is so fucking ridiculous I can't even laugh.
English
The idea that anyone who writes military science fiction can talk crap about yoshiyuki tomino is fantastic. "Military scifi" in the western sense is inevitably a dull pro-US military wank-off that doesn't much compare even to tominos relatively nuanced children's robot shows

@nise_yoshimi @mootsheep One of the best things about Kojima is that he will literally ambush you on the street to tell you all of his influences and inspirations at great lengths. No creator has ever demanded less singular worship.
English
@mootsheep I'm a huge metal gear geek but I really don't care that much about Hideo Kojima. I certainly don't need to know who he might have been mad about making any given game of his
English
This is why I dislike the modern overemphasis on metatextual readings of art. You can enjoy both of these things fine without that awareness of genre, because they're good art. MGS2 is not *about* Kojima's relationship with MGS1. Chainsaw Man part two, Fujimoto, part one, etc

so is watching evangelion as your first mecha anime the equivalent of reading watchmen as your first superhero comic

@marty_freudman @gayest_tone If the lightheadedness lasted for more than the first two cigarettes every six months it would be much harder to quit them.

Yeah see this is what everyone who uses substances to deal with a shitty job says, it’s just that going on a smoke break is accepted but going to slam a few drinks back during work isn’t.

re: smoking discourse… tweeted this before, but this passage from nickel and dimed where barbara ehrenreich realizes why her coworkers at a diner smoke so much really made sense to me…

@MichaelP1110 @athenaeumbc Virtually all the success in my life is rooted in my mother reading to me religiously as a kid.

@athenaeumbc Read to your children every night. Doesn’t matter what you read

Fewer than half of US adults read a book last year.
Even fewer read an actual novel, and the trend is looking worse still for teenagers.
Why is nobody talking about this??

@stuntedaphidcel @trancel_ @boywaif It's even more basic than this. This is literally plagiarized from Marinetti. This is an actual picture of a fasces.

“Woke d’annunzio” used to be a bit now it’s just real

@juanmississippi My father-in-law is a chef. He is insanely gifted. We were looking at a country fried steak together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… "We can’t, we don’t know how to do it."
English
I don’t know what this dumbass is going on about but I want that in my face rn
David Scott Harris@HVNYrefugee
The loss of taste for country-fried steak (an American schnitzel), for burritos, chimichangas, and flautas is culturally genocidal and an existential crisis.

@Gzalzi @wormsofbarlo Those people would count as disabled. Stop talking. You’re retarded.

the average american position on poor people is that it's doubtful they even exist, but if they do it's because they're evil and stupid

@PaulSkallas It's cool that the increased involvement is correlating with more life satisfaction. Just gotta balance it out to make sure the kids are allowed to grow into some independence.

New newsletter: MODERN FATHERHOOD WOULD BE UNRECOGNIZABLE TO A 1950'S DAD Compared to their Boomer parents, childcare time among Millennial dads has more than doubled. Compared to their Silent Generation grandparents, it’s nearly quadrupled. You will be hard-pressed to find any part of day-to-day modern life that has changed more in the last half-century than the way today’s parents—and fathers, in particular—spend their time. The new American dad is more present and more exhausted—but also, more satisfied with life. What's behind this half-century transformation? Today's piece combines history, economic analysis, and gorgeous charts galore from @AzizSunderji

Classical parenting resembles modern pet ownership
Modern parenting resembles endangered-species conservation
Ivana Greco@IvanaDGreco
This is a very good essay by @KelseyTuoc on childhood independence. The fact that 1/3 of Americans think a child has to be a literal teenager before they can be left home alone for an hour is lunacy.

@ndsnas Just tried to share a fun fact I learned one day and accidentally spawned thousands of angry internet arguments, namely from people who think fire is a vibe and not a clearly defined chemical process

@willmenaker I don't think Father Mapple's reading of Jonah is particularly orthodox 😔

Sleeping in the same bed with another man does NOT mean you're married to him. It's frankly ridiculous and more than a little homophobic.

The only question you need to ask someone to determine whether or not they are from Louisiana is whether they know this man. This is our shibboleth.

@semaforben @ClwnPrncCharlie @nytimes @katherinemiller That isn't weirdness, that is ignorance unmoored from reality. If I tell you a lot of our boys are still dying in the war with Japan, I'm not being weird, there's a large series of facts that I am not in command of.

These @nytimes focus groups really do offer a great glimpse at the enduring weirdness of politics @katherinemiller nytimes.com/interactive/20…

@normal_regimiro you know a state had Good Ass Strategy when they get obliterated and their fans spend the next 100 years crying about getting stabbed in the back

this is an awesome way to describe the way these fucking idiots were just walking around shooting at bushes and going home once they ran out of ammo
Clint Warren-Davey@Clint_Davey1
Rhodesian troops in the Bush War used a kind of reconaissance by fire known as "Drake shooting". Instead of waiting for the enemy to reveal themselves, troops would proactively shoot into likely hiding spots: bases of trees, rocks, thickets or anthills. The goal was to kill concealed insurgents without first needing a clear visual on them. They didn't waste ammo. Riflemen fired "double taps" or controlled semi-auto shots up to 12 inches off the ground. This targeted legs and feet or ricocheted debris upward into the enemy's face and body. If the enemy flinched, moved, or returned fire, it instantly revealed their position for accurate follow-up shots. This was a very effective counter-insurgent tactic for the terrain they were fighting in.

@nickjudin Like, it reveals so many little disgusting things.
It's bad enough some racist will say "In India and China…"
But then you have this somehow even worse community around them, who believes the same but won't say it, out of the same "self-preservation" instinct but more refined.
