What should they do? Responses sit either in the non-violent space, which is only effective when the people in power have a sense of shame for ‘failing to represent their constituency,’ or the violent space, which is self-destructive and, if you’re facing the gigantic american system, suicidal, and feeds into rhetoric about how the government needs to crack down on violent extremists, helping to legitimate further authoritarianism.

It’s not sadism. It’s protecting the players from themselves. If you don’t keep players from treating RPGs like a game they can win, they will drain out all the fun and blame you.

That joke started failing to make anyone laugh the first time it was told.

This just in: business releases commercial for itself. More at 11.

The cotton candy machine operator might be about to lose his job, but we’re having a great time.

Two guys in overly complicated clothing fighting over who’s the daddy? What is this, Thursday night at the BDSM club?

Going to guess their theory is that dealers of legalized drugs want people to do their legal drugs so anything that makes illegal/untaxed drugs more difficult to acquire than their legal drugs benefits their business. For the DEA, there are plenty of scarier drugs than marijuana for which to imprison people. They won’t be out of a job any time soon. And they can even team up with the IRS to hunt down people selling untaxed marijuana like the ATF does with moonshiners.

Referred to as a thorn.
