MODERATORS
A few years back, after a series of struggle sessions, admins actually had a "no 'what's your most controversial opinion' rule". But things have chilled out heaps since then, and I can't yet be bothered to report.
Still not going to repeat my most controversial opinions; they're a bit of an iceberg, even excluding the bad takes that weren't solid stances.
My most controversial takes are stuff that Hexbear gets behind. Either that, or there's a specialised comm here that supports my opinion (in opposition to the majority of people in Burgerland).
The SANDF should intervene in Gaza at least to airdrop food and medical aid from Egypt, as well as provide armed security for convoys. IDF aren't going to attack a South African MRAP and Gauteng is literally too far away to bomb.
South Africa should also criminalise the SAZF, SAJBD and SAFI, in addition to the Herzlia and Theodore Herzl schools for providing material and financial support to the IDF directly. Aside from the obligations set by the ICJ ruling and more vocal demands for South Africa to take more punitive actions against the Nazi entity a continent apart, the listed organizations are also directly advocating for terrorist attacks against other South Africans, especially humanitarian workers and refugees, including those who already escaped to safety in South Africa.
I personally recommend a lawsuit against the SAJBD in the area of R2 Trillion ZAR
I like the fakenews comm and its original posters
what about me, one of the later posters who only got added as part of a make-a-wish thing due to my terminal ligma before getting bored of the concept after posting there like 4 times
The Sega Dreamcast is a gen 5 console.
I liked the HBO Watchmen series despite the fact that Alan Moore definitely hates it.
It seems fine as it's own work, just sorta comes off like a separate work of fiction that had to be stapled onto the Watchmen IP instead of being its own thing.
Like the whole Hooded Justice thing isn't bad, but I think it kind of fails to exploit what Moore was going for by making the "first" costumed superhero in his universe a nazi-sympathizing sadist dressed up in thinly veiled lynching iconography and a dark klan hood.
I remember enjoying it for the most part

Bottomless Pit is Death Grips' worst album. It feels like it brings nothing new to the table, like if you hear that album first and The Money Store second, you'd think Money Store shows great progress.
