  • I think for sure it’s coming soon! The rating, the store page. I mean there was a dang total solar eclipse this year and it’s always dark in hollow Knight! In fact, if you look at how long the solar eclipse lasted there’s a date in there!! And I’m sure that that’s going to be the day that Silksong comes out!!! This isn’t cope!!!

    It’s real!!!

    IT’S ALL REAL!!! STOP LAUGHING AT ME???








  • Reading Atlas Shrugged is actually what broke me out of my teenage libertarian phase. I saw the central conflict of the book as those who were willing to engage with reality (the industrialists) vs. those who wouldn’t engage with reality (the bleeding hearts). However when I turned my mind to the real world it was easy to see that the people ruled by their feelings and far more likely to reject reality were the conservatives and the business types that the book wanted you to believe were the heroes when, in fact, they were just the more long winded. Galt’s arrogant and literally 3 hour long speech (I listened to the audiobook) gives the lie to the idea that this was a confident truth sayer and revealed him to be just a guy who would speak until others had no choice but to believe him. He’s the guy from “Thank You For Smoking”, an unprincipled blowhard. And the people that followed him were just soft minded, listless, and selfish enough to only want what was good for themselves










  • Okay. So I’m not missing something. I guess I heard him say that it “would be a personal failure for him as an employer” as him taking personal responsibility for his employees’ treatment. A charitable interpretation, but just a difference of opinion.

    I can see how people can interpret what he says as soft anti-union, it’s just weird to see you and others say things like this as if he’s sober sort of Robber Baron.

    Edit: I’m not going to double down. This was a blind spot for me, maybe because my union is already established and fairly strong, but I’ll hold this L and learn from it



  • Am I missing something? When had he expressed his hatred for unions? As a union man, if he had said something like that it would’ve pricked my ears. As far as I know, he’s said that he doesn’t want his employees to feel like they need a union, but wouldn’t stand in their way if they wanted one, which is about as good as it gets for a North American business owner.

    If this stuff is true then they should unionize immediately. Solidarity Forever

    Edit: I’m not going to double down. This was a blind spot for me, maybe because my union is already established and fairly strong, but I’ll hold this L and learn from it
