I always advocate for starting from season 1. Its a great cultural time capsule in a lot of ways and has a unique docmentary style to it that becomes less of a thing later on. More character focus, and "the game" hasnt developed yet which makes it different from anything else because "the game" was accepted as part of the experience immediately upon the very next season. And the ways the show evolves is part of the experience. Theres some stuff thats considered not so great television early on (late season 2, most of season 5 with some gems mixed in) but its all basically worth it for the overall experience. Like if I was trying to get someone into the show who was hesitant about it I might have them start with season 7 Pearl Islands (easily the best old school season and imho still the best one overall), season 15 China, or maybe Season 28 Cagayan if I think they'd be interested more in a more modern experience. There's also season 16 Micronesia and season 20 Heroes vs Villians, but those involve returning players so I feel they cant be properly experianced without seeing their previous showings. But those are both also top tier seasons. But if you actually find the basic concept interesting, go ahead and start from the beginning.
(Also hey if you do end up doing this, try to remember to DM me your thoughts. Or even add me on discord if you have one. I'd love to talk about it. )
One of these guys is going to be on the next season of Survivor which is an unacceptable conflation of two spheres of my existence.
VeggieTales
Not sure about this one. They'd probably be nicer if they watched VeggieTales.
God the replies in the Mom's for Liberty video are a cesspool.
No. No you made that up. Thats too absurd to be real.
I remember how my irl trans girl friend brought the Zoe Quinn story to me and tried to be really serious about her (allegedly) sleeping with reviewers was a serious ethical problem. Her main exposure to news online was reddit and knowyourmeme, mostly, for some reason, the later. I immediatly wrote it off as a nothingburger because I 1. was active on tumblr at the time and had been getting my feminisism 101 education 2. have always been fairly sexually libertine, and didnt see an ethical problem with it at its core anyway. She was aghast that I didnt see a problem with it lol.
Eventually she did get off the Gamergate train but even then she said that it "got bad" and "BECAME" about harassment. I tried to tell her it was about that from the start but dropped it and decided her jumping off of it was enough. Havent talked to her in years so idk where her mindset is at and its not something you easily bring up anyway. Idk if she would have fallen for the Sweet Baby stuff or not.
Lmao that this is the latest thing on his account. Come the fuck on.
Um I realize that the IDF has been posting evidence of warcrimes on TikTok but have you considered that they are neurodivergent and a minor?
Jimmy Carter is still eligible for a second term.
I posted this in the megathread today, and I can't stop thinking about what it implies that liberals think about the capabilities of black women.
