This is so fake and wrong... MAGA Justices would be grabbing you by the pussy.... (Nonconsensual of course) Multiple supreme court Justices have credible accusations of sexual assault. What a sad world we live in.

dmention7 , in it really do be like that tho

So.... MAGA SCOTUS judicial-overreaching your rights away is just an optical illusion; and in actuality you're grabbing at your own rights?

I'm confused at what this is trying to say.

evergreen , in Christian Nationalist "prophet" leads thousands to pray in tongues to prevent Trump's arrest | boing boing

"We thank you for this Donald Trump that you raised up. And Lord, even now we lift up a voice on his behalf, that you will cause your hand to come upon his head, you will cover his ears so that he only hears what you are saying. Your hand will be in his heart so that he only feels what you want him to feel."

If Trump suddenly wants to devote his life to helping all people in need, giving all he has for the sake of the poor, etc. then I'll take that to mean the prayer was answered.

Is this the plot of Snow Crash?

More like something by H.P. Lovecraft.

God those red hats are so poorly designed.

They look like something I would've gotten out of one of those iron on stores in the mall in the early eighties.

I believe in demons!

Apparently. Well, more precisely, one demon, and one goddess, one giant, one fairy, etc. :-P

Did you just ETCETERA Gowther, Ban, Escanor, and Merlin????

Abso-friggingly-lutely. It's been out for awhile, but even so, spoilers would be a MAJOR bummer for it, and I worried that I might have given too much away already...

I mean 3 of those are just human but I get who you're talking about lol

@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

Also, ALL of them have hidden depths. Is Ban really just a "human" for instance - with all that he can do!? (okay, so technically yes:-P but I mean, there is more to the story than just that, obvi!:-D) I love how the show did its slow reveals, not even including some of the Sins early on, in order to allow the show to build up more first.

Seven Deadly Sins is >1000x better than the earlier Fate Stay Nights. It has an... "odd" style, like extremely hyper-sexualized, but even that plays a role in conveying the dream/fantasy-like nature of that world, making it literally cartoonish. Somewhere over time, they really learned how to tell a story well.

And they toned down the sexual jokes and fan service eventually which I liked. That stuff gets old real quick imo

OpenStars ,
@OpenStars@discuss.online avatar

Yeah it did, though it was like SO out of proportion that I didn't even react to it at all after awhile (but still, better that it went away:-P). At least its not like modern games try to do, where that stuff is all there is - 7DS has great depths that make putting up with that worthwhile, overall:-).

Republicans always press both buttons without even a hint of shame.

Signtist ,
@Signtist@lemm.ee avatar

They don't even realize that what they're doing should elicit shame. They just think "ban bad thing, don't ban good thing" without ever considering that their own opinions might somehow not be objective truth.

samus12345 ,
@samus12345@lemmy.world avatar

Or that believing one thing completely contradicts the other thing.

Signtist ,
@Signtist@lemm.ee avatar

Exactly. If they believe one thing, it's true, if they believe the opposite, it's also true. They have so much faith that their beliefs are true that they never even consider assessing them. It's like Schrödinger's cat - they never open in the box that contains their own beliefs, so they can exist in whatever state they want at any time.

It helps that so many of them are religious, where you get a lot of practice doing mental gymnastics.

Cethin ,

They don't care if it's objective truth. Objective truth has never written them a check. They usually don't even pretend like it matters.

platypus_plumba ,

They could say the same about:

  • Ban guns.
  • Don't ban books.

This is a very silly argument. You need to analyze every action individually and not under an imaginary umbrella that provides no context beyond sensionalism.

ameancow ,

True, they make their own rules and we're somehow fine with it, we just exist alongside this section of society and treat it like opposing views, not the threat to humanity that it really is.

"Alternative facts?" haha those silly republicans, what will they say next, am i right? "white nationalism and christian ethnostate?" wacky repubs, you stop that silly! "Rolling back women's rights to less than some periods of medieval europe?" Haha, it's like they have their own ideas that are just so zany, I sure hope they don't make all their wacky ideas into laws, that would really be rough!

Republican mantra: Ban books, ban lab meat, ban trans kids.

Restricting freedoms while screeching about others restricting freedoms.

You for got about atheists, government regulation of capital, taxes on the 1%, and every social service that they personally have never had to use.

You know, the party of limited government and personal freedom.

item09 , in DeSantis - Only I am allowed to remove consumer choice

It makes sense when you realize that his (and so many like him, all following Trump’s lead) only driving force is to own the libs. That’s the whole platform, literally nothing else matters.

Enflame the culture war = votes. Because that’s all that matters to so, so many Republican voters.

homesweethomeMrL ,

aka “cult”

ech , (edited )

His only driving force is to gain money/power. "Owning libs" does that to an extent, but catering to meat/cattle industry lobbyists is much more effective.

spujb ,

like yes, but “only”?

pretty sure he is taking some pretty hefty “donations” from the industries these rules will immediately benefit. in this case the added fuel to the culture war is just a bonus.
