Feels fucking good to listen to a real leader speak every once in a while

[Poll] How do you pronounce kentona?

The 2nd one. Why would I pronounce it with a separate A when you have it typed as all one word with no case change?

dear kentona. this is a vote of no confidence, please hand the site over to me

I stand behind your vote of no confidence but only if I'm the sole moderator

So, apparently Amazon just hit 1 Trillion dollars in worth?

Fun time to remember that Jeffy B owns 5 castles across the US, while hundreds upon hundreds of people can't afford healthcare, food, rent, etc.

"Capitalism is the best system!!!!!"

Nintendo SHUTS DOWN RPG Maker's POKEMON fan game ecosystem!

The files still seem to be up on GitHub. Downloaded them after the OP came up. (Unless those aren't the right ones- I've never used it so I wouldn't know for sure)

I'm hoping they are, since I actually have a pokemon fangame as a little side project to noodle with.

Owning the Libs by burning brand name products you spent lots of money on

What are you thinking about right now?

Instead of coming up with reasons to shit on amateur artists/devs and "prove" that they "aren't trying", try this:

"Being supportive, helpful, and welcoming of new creators"

(can you believe Russian collusion in the 2016 election is still being discussed even today?)

Yes, since it was and is a huge problem in America and beyond. The same thing is going on with the Midterms, the same sort of thing is going down in other countries like Sweden and Germany as well. Continuing to dismiss it as some "sore loser" thing is only gonna wind up hurting more people in the end, since you're giving a dictatorial regime free pass to influence the rest of the world to suit them personally.

And I mean to be fair, I probably wouldn't want to go to class either if I felt like there was a danger of being fucking shot. What onus do you have to feel at risk doing normal, every day things just because your government refuses to even consider fixing a problem?

I can't get on with your insistence that any action that causes division isn't worth taking. That's a self defeating argument. If we lived on that principle nothing would ever get done anywhere.

EDIT:

But there's always weird shit online to cheer me up.

As an aside, please don't punch down on amateurish/"cringey" art. That's a low blow, a low blow that reinforces the idea that instant skill is the only way to get good at something or express yourself.

What are you thinking about right now?

So is your idea of protest just to do what everyone else is doing and just... not? Cause that's sort of what it sounds like. I'm not sure what that would accomplish as a counter point to people making themselves heard through direct, noticeable action.

I mean, if Kaepernick had of never knelt for the anthem, nobody would ever know that he wanted to protest against police violence. If the students of Stoneman Douglas never walked out and marched then their tragedy would have been swept away like all the other school shootings. Maybe they haven't accomplished their goals 100% yet, but their voices reached that mass audience because they took the steps to make themselves heard, which is kind of the entire point of protesting.

I don't buy into the idea that the point of these or other protests is to intentionally cause division. That division may happen, but as an effect of the issue being brought to the public stage, not as a deliberate outcome of the protest.

What are you thinking about right now?

Thoroughly unsurprised to hear that some dolts have started setting their own shoes on fire over a Nike ad with Kaepernick in it.

I have to ask though, since I'm unsure: How does the dichotomy of "You live in the land of the free and can protest/speak out against injustice" and "Not standing for the anthem is treason" work out?

Also, since a lot of people seem to be using soldiers as a "gotcha" on that ad (Even Patt Tillman, which is excellent since it underscores their complete lack of understanding of the world): Can soldiers kneel during the anthem? Who's allowed to protest? We need INFO, people!!!
