I mostly agree, but sometimes they have the perfect level of drama, like that scene in Casablanca
I'd eat that. (Yes, I'm a Midwesterner, how did you guess?)
I'm sure you're correct, but I'm amusing myself with believing it's some kind of phrenology shibboleth theory where they think only African American people are capable of saying the soft R.
Imagining myself as a 5th columnist is very funny, so thanks for that mood booster I guess
Plan? I don't have a plan. I'm just a dummy on the internet, seeing death and destruction on the horizon for a whole lot of people. Again: 
They have nukes and I fully believe they're bloodthirsty enough to launch them.
On the one hand, I agree that someone has to stop Israel from continuing to genocide the Palestinians because they're not going to stop themselves. On the other hand, I have very little hope that a regional war will actually make things better
I can't put into words how much of a mindfuck it was to grow up and realize that the church in America tends to not actually do/believe in all the kind, generous, forbearing things I'd been taught as a child. It really spun my head around, and did the same for my childhood friends I'm still close to. I was so incredibly lucky to have people to go on that journey with, I know for others it's very lonely.
The racism on display in that article is really something.
I like cooperative games! I'm the only one I know who liked the first iteration of The Captain is Dead (too complex, too many things to keep track of), but the sequel The Captain is Dead: Dangerous Planet has been a hit with every group I've tabled it. You're the crew of a spaceship and you need to gather the materials you need to escape the planet before the bugs get you.
Competitive games I love are Quacks of Quedlinburg, Clank!, Azul Summer Pavillion, Colt Express, Dune Imperium
Indistinguishable from parody. Is it possible that Laura Loomer just doing a very long performance art piece?
the motive remains unclear
I'm not sure how to articulate what I'm thinking about this. It's very human to ask why? when something horrific happens, so I'm not blaming anyone for wondering what on earth the motive was. But at the same time, no attempt at an explanation is going to satisfy. There's just no explanation for something like this.
Unfathomable. How does someone decide to stab little children?
Chicagoans continue to remember that infamous day almost two decades later, posting about it on social media.
My trusty Samsung Galaxy S7 that I bought in 2017 is bricked and now I must buy a new phone. What are the recommendations of the hexbear community for a replacement? I was satisfied with my elderly phone except that there was a lot of junk that came with the phone that I couldn't delete, and for the last couple years or so I've had to delete an app before I could add an app, so that was kind of annoying. But other than that, I was happy with it, so I don't need the newest coolest thing.
