Which is interesting, because the point of the phrase is to imply something is so commonplace that it practically has no value. It’s so commonplace you can get a dozen of them for a dime!

So technically while the relative value of the dime in this phrase decreases, the relative value of the phrase itself increases as the dime’s value ever further approaches negligible, ever better emphasizing the point!

Words are fun.

Nah, I can give them p-r-------l at least.

Gotcha. Sounds like a blast, honestly. One of my most played games this past year has been Metal: Hellsinger, and I’m a sarcastic dark comedy metalhead, so it sounds right up my alley!

Never heard of that one so I can’t compare

I watched it with my child niece. The first two seasons are legitimately great for a children’s show with a surprisingly deep narrative.

But then season 3 or 4 the production team changed and it went from being deep like Adventure Time to just being generic “good enough” kid’s show.

Legitimately kind of a sad thing, actually

edit: typo

Abso-fucking-lutely 100% the correct take right here. We need to absolutely be wary of opportunists trying to remove nuance from the situation. That doesn’t mean don’t be realistic about the horrors, that doesn’t mean treating the vile guilty parties with kid gloves, it just means ensuring we don’t let our outrage carry us away with the current. And we have to be honest with ourselves that there are legitimately an astounding amount of outside forces and actors trying to manipulate the situation from all sides to score wins and promote dangerous ideologies.

Seek justice, seek peace, yes absolutely, but don’t let yourself become an unwitting soldier in somebody else’s war.

I’ve never played it, but I’ve heard from a friend that it is actually a total blast assuming your group has a good attitude and open mind going into it

Yes that’s the joke

I’ve been following Alexandr for years, and the dude is crazy talented.

But also if I was a guitar he would be like the boogyman to me, because this man seems to eat guitars

This whole “all the homophobes are closeted gay men|all the racists secretly fetishize black men” thing is reductive, unrealistic, and unproductive. This dude is gross as fuck and I’m glad he’s getting charged with something at least, but chocking these things up to underlying latent sexual urges is weird and doesn’t solve anything. I’m going to pivot to homosexuality as it think it’s a clearer example now: yes there have been a number of bigots who have turned out to be closeted gays in denial, but concluding from that that all bigots are closeted muddies the water and prevents us from tackling the real root causes of bigotry and, frankly, makes “our side” (for lack of a better term) seem unnecessary sexually-obsessed.

Both are victims

This post smells like maple

Mario is willing to overlook the blatant copyright infringement because their fries are so dank, but he draws the line at goddamn pickles on a burger

I know the default tone of the Internet is sarcastic so I’m clarifying that this is a sincere and genuine statement: good on you for having the integrity and growth to be able to adapt and change like that. Dropping a beloved artist, even rightly so, is a difficult thing. I applaud you for you conviction, king 👍✌️

Alice, apparently.

I agree, but this feels like just doing something tangential rather than addressing the issue. Until we clear out, clear up, and rebuild police departments from the ground up, they are going to continue to be motivated by racism and minority citizens will continue to be unfairly target and charged.

I’m not saying this isn’t a good thing or that it won’t help, but it feels like trying to put a single bandaid on somebody bleeding out after a bear mauling.

That said, we all only have the power of our station and our voice, so I do appreciate this prosecutor trying to do what they can with the power they has, and I do think they should be celebrated for it.

Imo there is an enormous difference between personal moral failings, hell even personal acts of evil, and endorsing a hateful and toxic ideology.

I don’t expect my artists to be paragons of personal virtue, but I absolutely am not okay supporting artists who are actively spreading hate.

…Clint Eastwood? Are you implying Clint fucking Eastwood is a paragon of morality or am I misreading this somehow?

Doesn’t matter. This dude has literally opened referred to himself as a Nazi and Hitler apologist and people still put his shit on playlists and radio stations are still playing his music.

Kanye is proof that morality is just posturing, and the moment it is an inconvenience the vast majority will immediately discard it.

I’m afraid things like this article implies we aren’t headed that way, we’ve already arrived
