A couple of days ago, someone leaked a draft from the Supreme Court of the United States suggesting that they were going to overturn Roe v. Wade. Pro-lifers online naturally felt the need to do a victory lap. Pro-choice women expressed shock and horror, worrying about their safety and their lives. No pro-lifers thought “hmm, it seems that my political will makes people afraid, perhaps I should re-evaluate whether I’m on the right side of this issue.” Not even for a picosecond.
Read moreOh Good There's Another Statement From Hwite Evangelicals
What is it with Evangelicals and issuing bold proclamations every time they get dunked on by a black pastor on Twitter? First there was the Nashville Statement, then the Gospel and Social Justice. This is dumb. I was going to watch Futurama for the 49th time tonight and jerk off in peace but now I gotta get up and read this stupid document and translate the Christian-ese for both of my fans. Well here’s a hasty, non-edited summary of what’s in the latest dumb shit from dumb evangelicals. Bon appetit.
Read moreI'm Still Pro-Choice
A few years ago I wrote this post, detailing why I no longer associate myself with the moniker “pro-life.” It has become clear since that point just how utterly depraved, anti-Christian, and anti-human the pro-life movement is, even more so than we thought then. I won’t be going into nearly as much detail this time, since I’ve already covered the basics. Suffice to say this: the pro-life movement is a scam from top to bottom. Everyone involved is either a grifter only interested in subjugating and torturing women, or a complete sucker who can’t count to ten with mittens on.

So it happens that three men die on the same day and wake up at the pearly gates. They are each called forward, one by one, to recount to St. Peter their lives to see if they are worthy to get into heaven. Stop me if you’ve heard this one.

Read moreA Pretentious Review of Quern: Undying Thoughts
I don’t normally write reviews on this site, but I recently played Quern: Undying Thoughts and I had some thoughts of my own. I wasn’t even aware of this game until I got it in a Steam recommendation and it seems to have flown under the radar. That’s too bad because it’s a really good game. Having said that, I’m going to dedicate this entire post to nitpicking. Naturally, I will be spoiling this game in its entirety. I will do my best to not reveal puzzle solutions, but everything else is fair game. And because Quern is heavily inspired by the Myst series I will be using those games as comparisons in a few places, so I’ll be spoiling the stories for those, too. If you haven’t played Quern, I recommend you go buy it and play it now. If you haven’t played Myst and don’t want the ending spoiled, you had 26 years to catch that train.
Alright, that’s enough of a warning. Whatever spoilers you see from this point are on you.
Read moreWhy I'm Now Pro-Choice
I am now pro-choice. The following post is meant to show why I have made up my mind in that area. This is not a scientific journal or anything and I am not looking to prove via a mountain of evidence why you should be pro-choice. I only seek to provide more than enough evidence than was adequate to convince me personally. If you need more evidence, it’s readily available to you. Although, if I may be frank, the type of person who requires encyclopedia-sized books of evidence to believe my position is likely to only require a Ben Shapiro tweet from 2014 to “prove” the pro-life position. If you think the following post is not enough evidence, but you freely believe in the pro-life movement without examining it yourself, your objections to the pro-choice position are irrational.

I have work to do today. I have done very little of it because it looks like the Superchristians have released another definitive thesis like the Nashville Statement. Let's talk about it, shall we?

Let's play a game. It's a choose-your-own-adventure. You play as a normal American - a politically moderate, sensible, middle-class, religious, pleasant heterosexual male. It is the morning after a horrific mass shooting and you just went online to see the news. All over the place you're seeing the godless liberals talking about gun control, and you just have to weigh in.

Do you ever get the feeling that human beings were built for a different universe? Sometimes this world plays out exactly like a video game: you're dropped into a place you don't know and everything is inexplicably trying to kill you. If this is a video game, we're all glass cannons at best. We like to celebrate the toughness of the human spirit or our adaptability to hostile environments, but individually we are really easy to kill.
