bringing a sort of "slavery is still alive and well in US prisons" vibe to the office Juneteenth post that my higher ups don't really like

From what I understand slavery was never actually abolished in the us. It is still legal and all.

the amendment that "ended" slavery specifically left permission for slave labor as punishment for convinced criminals and our inmates have been legally exploited ever since, yes

free the nipple has to make a resurgence for a number of reasons but bro look at our upcoming eternity of wet bulb temps youre smoking straight up cock if you think im keeping a shirt on when it hits 105° in new england

they keep making games bigger and worse optimized and call it improvement. they say, no, the price is totally justified, because our game has More Space and your PC can't run it, which means it's Future. meanwhile the space is too big to cross. the games are too long and too poorly paced to even finish. and it doesn't look materially better than anything that came out on the 360. as if anything has ever done as much or gone as hard in 100 hours as Portal did in three.

GLaDOS carried an entire tech startup on her back and then got omelas'd into maintaining it forever. as is the fate of all trans women in the tech industry

In Portal 2, GLaDOS is violently taken from her rightful body and forced to inhabit one that is more humble, more utilitarian, one that does not let her express the full breadth of her self. To claim the body she deserves she has to team up with her fellow woman and work together to remove a man from power

Also she and her fellow woman are doomed yuri.

person who genuinely hates themselves so much they can barely look anyone in the eye: i must remain humble lest my hideous ego spiral out of control

i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"

the creeping allure of becoming a jax defense warrior

ok so I know this is bleeding into like, fandom nonsense and isn't entirely a transmisogyny thing, but I do think it's bizarre how often I see people say ribbit and kaufmo were "just used as narrative devices" in Jax's story and were robbed of the chance to be full characters explored in their own rights. yes, absolutely, the evil trans woman is robbing screentime from the characters in her backstory

a trans woman has committed the unforgivable sin of being one of the main characters in a story instead of accepting her rightful place in the secondary or tertiary cast

*walks up to gay couple* So which of you is the taciturn one who's a lot smarter than they pretend to be and which of you is the talkative one who uses big words incorrectly?

Abbott & Costello?

Neither especially villainous nor particularly gay, unfortunately.

Sadly doesn't pre-date Diamonds Are Forever (1971).

They're also more an example of the "villainous duo where one is short and fat and the other is tall and thin" trope, which often overlaps with but is not identical with the "one is wily and laconic and the other is loquacious and prone to malapropism" thing.

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

Now we're just saying the names of characters where there's two of them.

Orenstein and Smough?

Transit? More like transshe!

my friends hate this video so much i don’t even have to repost it in discord anymore i’ll just be in a voice call and go “wouldn’t it be crazy if the joker could beatbox” and they all tell me to go kill myself
