Also, slight tangent, I want to make it known to everyone that I'm very disappointed that ID didn't continue their new tradition of reusing titles and named it Doom Eternal instead of Doom 2: Hell on Earth.

It's already bad enough trying to talk about DOOM

I know! That's why they should have doubled down and did the same thing again!

As someone who likes Doom and not nuDoom, shitposting aside I'm glad they deviated

Also they should have called it D00M

🅱 🅾 O M

DOOMM

DOOM AGAIN

Düm

SUPER DOOMED

I'm apparently just supporting Trump to "get accepted" by my friends

Wot

That's what my family told me

Oh, "it's just a phase"

Basically

But they're so scared that I support Trump.

Political tribalism wew

@ClashOfChampions sorry to hear that. I sort of argued with my stepdad about freedom of speech this weekend.

I've never argued with my stepdad re: freedom of speech, or firearms for that matter. We seem to be *mostly* on the same page there

I've tried to point out every time the left has called for violence vs Trump's jokes

You know all the ones Trump claims are violence

Some of the "calls for violence" haven't really been that, same with most of the Trump claims (though there have been some iffy instances for sure)

@Beemann I made the point that ‘people don’t have the right to not be offended.’ He immediately said ‘what if someone approaches you in a public space and starts verbally abusing you?’ (Basically mean words). I said ‘it is protected speech as long as it isn’t incitement to violence’. He freaks out and basically says mean words can cause violence and what about stalking. No joke.

Lol

So to be fair we don't protect harassment in any western nation

There is an expectation that you're not basically following people around, coming up to their door, and constantly yelling at them

But that's never the topic anyway

Right. He first mentioned it as a one time thing, then shifts into the ‘what about muh stalking’.

@Beemann he then told me not to be like Matt Jones. He probably meant Alex Jones. Lol

stalking isnt even speech though lol

you dont even have to talk to someone to stalk them

theres no expressive element

@Beemann I know. He has a tendency to put words in people’s mouths. He tried to make it sound like I was saying stalking was fine. I never said that. I only said that people don’t have the right to not be offended, words aren’t violence, and speech is protected as long as it isn’t inciting violence. I told him he didn’t understand my point (he doesn’t) and he called me a condescending know it all.

my mom does a bit of that too

To be fair, I can be condescending. Lol

wherein my complaints about the feminist movement and their legislative victories are turned into "hating wahmen"

one of the only times I've ever been genuinely angry at my mother, actually, was when she told my sisters I hated women and they took it seriously. Straight up had to sit them down and walk them through it

That’s harsh.

My mom is pretty red pilled. She says that women really don’t do well in management because they are too emotional.

I get that a lot too

Because I'm an Equal Opportunist

I love when you bring that argument up and 9 times out of 10 women react to it emotionally!
When you point it out, you are getting some serious fun!
