Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

If you're trying to express your sense that we're all doomed... maybe sharing a song from fifty years ago about how we were all doomed *then* is not the most persuasive way to go about it?

If this is still the Eve of Destruction... man, it's been one long eve.

BOOMERS: make dehumanizing overgeneralizations about diverse groups of people that ultimately inhibit empathy and social progress and only hurt good people in the target group who don't fit the stereotype

MILLENNIALS: make dehumanizing overgeneralizations about diverse groups of people that ultimately inhibit empathy and social progress and only hurt good people in the target group who don't fit the stereotype

ZOOMERS: make dehumanizing overgeneralizations about diverse groups of people that ultimately inhibit empathy and social progress and only hurt good people in the target group who don't fit the stereotype

GEN XERS: are instead clean and upright people blessed with good looks, incisive intellects, an unswerving innate sense of morality, and just an all around richer personhood, because you can totally predict this sort of thing from a fucking two-digit number

Do they have one for "hate-missing" somebody?

@typhlosion as a former encyclopedia dramatica exhibit i am with you 100 percent, fuck kiwifarms and all who resemble it

every one of those sites, ive waited five yrs and laughed my ass off at how many of their admins had been arrested for genuinely, deeply shitty things; i suspect kf's day is also coming

@LexYeen@snouts.online That crowd is some of my favorite prey. So many embarrassing, uncomfortable factoids about the Spartans to rub in their faces...

@hummingrain Also, it's a pity they didn't have Enter The Gungeon when we were growing up. Stealing from the shopkeeper in ETG is MUCH more gratifying...

@Phorm I was hoping for Brick Top to feed him to his pigs, honestly. Trump needs to run afoul of some TRUE evil, evil with far more experience and cunning than he'll ever have.

@Phorm Seriously. If THESE guys get it wrong, shivs get involved. :O

(Or at least, that's what Guy Ritchie films have taught me. ^_^;; )

I challenge you...

@mawr FInally, my wasted youth watching MTV for eight-hour stretches pays off!

=(^)____(^)=

@mawr

HEY, YOU!

THIS IS THE FUZZY FUZZY MAWR SOUND!

THE SOFTEST SOUND AROUND!

SO IF YOU'VE JUST COME OUT OF YOUR ✨BOX✨

AND YOU'RE THE TEXTURE OF WARM WOOL SOCKS

WELL, LISTEN FUZZBALL! YOU'D BETTER GET OFF YOUR ROCKS!

MAWRNESS!

Huh. Saw several headlines today saying that European bookies have cut Trump's odds in 2020 dramatically. He's still running something like 5-4 in favor, but that's quite a downturn, and it's mostly COVID/market so it's likely to continue.

This is very encouraging news for me. The drop in Hillary's odds on a major Irish bookmaking site was my first hint that we might not win in 2016. These guys have a LOT riding on being right. I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

@Aradia Honestly... if you were in Michigan or something, I'd be very upset with you and fleeing to Telegram, hoping to win the argument with you that I keep losing with my parents.

But you're not. You're in Washington. You're one of the people who can safely do this. I'm fine with it, honestly. I can not really imagine Biden losing WA State. He's up 23 points in last week's SurveyUSA poll. I think there's a very valid argument to be made for your decision.

@Phorm I mean, CNN and Quinnipac just had Biden up by 10 in the popular vote... but I have zero idea atm how that will shake up past the Slavery Preserver oops I mean Electoral College. >___<

@Balina I am working SO HARD NOW not to make a really lame Depeche Mode joke right now...

@Leucrotta @kelseyhusky I mean, your trash-eating skills are beyond reproach, but will they scale? ;>

@kelseyhusky *sigh* I suppose Peggy's gonna want to come along and contaminate everything with Jack Kirby Cosmic Energy Dots _anyhow_, so sure, what the hell. :)

Also, I'm probably gonna have to increase the size of Galactiquun Corps to 12-15 anyhow, 'cause the housecats want in. :)

So I gently encouraged someone on Twitter, who could not understand why feelings were hurt when she explicitly left body-dysphoric cis people out of a TF fantasy, to be more inclusive.

And I tried to gently steer her fantasy towards a greater inclusiveness without directly contradicting her, by making a joke/extension about how trans people who wished for CONTAGIOUS species could just bite the cis people--they'd just have to wait for the second round.

And then one of the cis people who was hurt by being excluded lectured me because my solution rewarded TFs to people who weren't otherkin, because (in the unlikely event I understood them correctly) THEY were putatively a more deserving, needy, and oppressed group than "normal human" (my words) people. Apparent awareness that THEY WERE JUST COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING EXCLUDED DUE TO DEMOGRAPHICS FIVE MINUTES AGO: zero.

And now I think I'm one step closer to becoming a Galactus-kin. You have no idea how close I am to sealing myself in my laboratory and not coming out until I'm 80 feet tall and can suck the life out of entire planets, and I'm gonna start with this one.

I will be the Raccoon Who Eats Trash Worlds. And NOBODY is coming along for the ride, though I might draw lots to let 3-5 of you become my super-powered heralds. And if you bicker over which minority groups get chosen, I will eat you FIRST.

Also, no goddamn surfers.

@spacewastrel@yiff.life I learned that so hard, you can still see the crater in Northgate, Seattle from orbit. *hug* It's not an easy lesson, and I feel like I'm still in exile from it. But you can still route around the damage, and I'm living proof. Best of luck, darlin'. Thinking of you. I mean, *I* sure as fuck like you. And we've bounced off each other, what, like five times now? But I always come back, because you are a decent, honest, caring person.
