Thinking about how a girl at Christian summer camp asked me if my dad was in Al Qaeda and I got in trouble for asking if her dad was a Klansman bc “her question was understandable”

25 years later and The Onion’s ParentCorner 9/11 explainer from immediately after the attack is a better understanding of the threat environment than the one produced by the U.S. government.

An Onion article titled “Talking to your child about the WTC attack,” which is filled with real good info.

Honestly, and as much as I hate to say it, but I really do think we as #furry & #twitch streamers, should be pushing people to register, go out and actually vote. “But my no politics comfort streamer” Do you hate feeling miserable? Feeling hopeless? Feeling the economic pinch? Do something.

I'll never forget being a young kid right after 9/11 and just walking up to a state trooper in the airport and, in that dumb way kids do, asked him "Why do you need such a big gun". I don't remember his exact response was but he looked at me kind of confused and said something like "I dunno really"

9/11 has got to be the number 1 single most successful attack in all of human history. totally destroyed the psyche of the worlds most powerful empire and 2 decades later it throws away its own hegemony desperately clawing to regain the confidence it lost

i've said many times that "overwhelmingly positive" on steam requires not just a game people like but a game that doesn't accidentally look appealing to people who'd hate it

not to do the 'repost stuff from other sites' thing but a friend sent this to me like YES we need uncosiness in games

disco elysium does a good job of filtering out the 'alpine witch' cozy crowd by showing us, before anything else, a mostly nude bloated alcoholic man groaning to himself on the floor. and also you have to be him, and also if you do a bad job of grabbing your necktie off the ceiling fan then your heart gives out and you get a game over. like it's such a beautiful and intelligent game, but I wonder if part of the universal praise it gets is from that highly vocal section of the populace getting yucked out at the start. or maybe I'm just stupid and overthinking things

this is why Dream Daddy got cancelled for having a canned halloween plotline, while in Disco Elysium you get to walk around in a jacket with piss f*ggot sprayed on the back and everyone loves it (rightfully, it's a really good jacket)
