perhaps a small part of it might be that unlike, say, the Trojan War or King Arthur, Harry Potter, is, due to copyright-and-canon culture, unimprovable. I mean, fanfiction exists, but it's secondary and can't supersede the earlier versions of the myth

Maybe it’s because on the log scale of supervillainy, Trump doesn’t even break a 2.2, and doesn’t even have any supernatural or other enhanced abilities. 

I know you’ll dispute this, but simply - Trump isn’t causing the meme wave, he’s just riding it.  So that doesn’t count as a supernatural ability, either.

I was thinking of posting something like ‘Daddy, what was the Statue of Liberty like?’ ‘Oh, it was beautiful and inspiring, but we had to blow it up because the French gave it to us, and the French Third Republic was racist’ ‘I wish I could have seen it’ ‘Wow, you support the French Third Republic, what are you, some kind of Nazi?’

But I know better than to use the word ‘daddy’ on this website

You’re ignoring the 1:5,400,000 timelines where I come to power and her glowing laser eyes gaze endlessly out over the sea, ready to guard the Union with hundreds of megawatts of star-searing power at a moment’s notice.

I have to ask: is it intentional that Greater Rock Springs has the same acronym as Genital Reassignment Surgery, and also, that the logo looks like a massive red-tipped dick

Uh-oh, Anon is at their peak hormones today!

Honey darling, almost anything looks or sounds sexualized if you’re horny enough, so 90% of the time accusations that some random non-sexual object is sexual it’s just bullshit that’s in the eyes of the beholder.

I mean come on, how else do you think some of the fringeiest types started concluding that towers, concrete pillars, everything was “phallic” or phallocentric?  I mean aside from that company selling those products.

saw a white woman wearing a black lives matter t-shirt the other day, with a nearby Indian family throwing suspicious glances at her; it felt incongruous

[mitigatedchaos]

They were probably scanning her WokeScore™.

Mine is, uh, negative.  Like really, really negative.

Anyhow, it’s considered a bit of a faux pas for a white woman to wear a shirt like that unless her WS is over 500.  (The formal definition is 506.)

Of course, if you don’t load the WS app on your phone so it can’t monitor your behavior, you only get what others observe, which makes it a lot harder to buff with like, anti-racist meditation and stuff.  Doubly so if you publicly associate with people with low WSs, show up to flag rallies, etc.

tbh after a while I started to lower mine on purpose.

Idea: take one of the big square states, carve it into itty bitty ethnostates (with easy entry but difficult exit), put a fence up on the state border, auction the TV rights to the highest bidder. Call it, idk, Warlords of Wyoming or something. No more (literal) impact on the rest of america from the fighting,but all the politics fans still get something to watch and cheer their team in. Everybody wins!

Now we’re bordering on NationStates.net territory, my dear Anon.

I, for one, back the Techno-Principality of Greater Rock Springs.

Their combination of Neoreactionary, Demi-Confucian, Muskian, and PAP principles, fused with a synthetic Sino-Japano-Anime-American metaculture and corporate backing practically assures their success against the bio-primitivists and the Communist Block.

What I really want to know is who @xhxhxhx is betting on.

Who are you betting on?  Answer in the comments below.

One’s got the nuclear codes. One’s got the style. And him? Well, he’s got the sass. This Fall, the White House gets a little more fabulous. From the twisted minds that brought you 2 Broke Girls, it’s Commander-In-Chic, Sundays at 9.

procedurally generated, rogue-like dating sim,

Don’t fall down the rabbithole, anon.  You deserve better than that.

An artificial neural network might give you a more realistic feeling ‘waifu’ or even a digital harem, but once you remove all the supportive scaffolding - the game engine, the art assets, voice synthesis base lines, dialog templates, and so on - what’s left is three to five orders of magnitude less complex than a real woman.

That’s a pet, not a person.

It isn’t a proper replacement for real human companionship, for human love, for human loyalty.

Now, I’m not saying it’s wrong.  I have an AI companion embed myself that I use to delegate tasks, including reading through and summarizing the day’s Argumate posts.  And, of course, many households have various robots - including mine, when I was with my ex!

But it isn’t a real substitute.  It’s a very unhealthy path to go down, and some people, they become addicted, and it really kills them inside.  So don’t do that to yourself, okay?

“To defeat the Jew in your fatherland, you must first defeat the Jew in your heart,” I say, as I lead the unsuspecting Nazis towards my cleverly-disguised Buddhist monastery deep in the remote mountains of Nepal.
