But… both of those engines are terrible.

Pff, whatever.

I mean, beyond Mr. Rogers, yeah I absolutely can see that.

Same force over a smaller surface area = more ouch

Holy shit that is amazing.

Her ‘safety cage’ is both for the protection of herself, and others, hahaha!

… sigh … not again.

The dogs will.

… because they are better than us.

This is objectively a more virtuous way to live a life, than to try to get all people to like you.

… This made me think of basically either a cock, balls, or cock and balls, wearing a skirt.

I will keep saying this:

Socioeconomically disadvantaged young dudes are angry.

Instead of broadly shaming them for that, relate to that anger, temper it, show them how to use it in a controlled manner, and point it toward something useful, constructive.

Give them a rules-based, defined, productive outlet for it.

If you just tell them to bottle it up… they will eventually explode, and cause collateral damage.

How sad is it that a goofily angry man on the TV is a better parent than anon’s parents?

Well, it doesn’t matter how sad it is, because most parents these days are working too many jobs for not enough money, to even possibly be decent parents.

Thats just reality.

… You wanna beat the fascists at their game of weaponizing male insecurity and angst?

Provide a better version of channeling that insecurity and angst: Give them a framework for thinking and acting that they can channel the anger and energy into genuienly useful and productive forms.

Actually show them a positive, socially beneficial form of masculinity, that gives them their own identity, instead of a cultic group identity.

I genuienly do not understand what you mean.

… that would substantially change the meaning, away from what the OP themself indicated they meant to convey.

That also would not be a usage of the Oxford comma, as that comma would be doing a different grammatical job than deliniating items in a list.

It would be deliniating a vocative phrase.

Yes, it does… make it into a workable sentence … but it would not be an Oxford comma.

… but when MSFT employees hold their own protest, in their place of work, against MSFT software being used to murder Palestinians, some months before this, they get arrested.

They got arrested of course because precious, precious property was mildly inconvenienced, and the cops made up lies about them.

Well you shouldn’t have the PS1 mounted on top of the Xbox, not good for proper airflow and heat dissipation.

Also, the cd tray for the Xbox is gonna hit the P1 controller cord from thr PS1, also not ideal.

And the overall placement of the set up will probably impede the walking routes of any one other than you that uses the living room.

2/5

EDIT:

Ostensibly, a living room is meant to be a group space, as well as transited through, and well this set up…

… it really cuts down on any potential spontaneous horseplay.

Yeah, but summarizing my reasoning as to why I think it is a smear campaign down to ‘by default’… is to completely ignore all of my reasoning, which is frankly rude, and you strawmanning me.

… and then you point out that a comparable recent story/event… actually did have a substantial, already existing controvery… and was generally covered with more ‘positive sentiment’ words in the headlines, but yes did acknowledge the controversy.

… As opposed to essentially inventing it, as they’ve done with the Deck.

Yes, drama sells, if it bleeds it leads, but for some reason, the degree to which headline sentiment matches vs doesn’t match the actual story and pre-existing actual buzz around it, well that varies.

Hahah, perfect, hahahah!

This guy, this guy here… yeah he gets it lol

Do tell tell your fiance not to ‘get so uptight about it’, if you’re into masochism, hahahah!

… wait.

So now… Jack is… a dog?

Not the very mentally stable narrator?

… Is your dog literally named Jack, and I’m just jumping to the Fight Club joke?

confused whimpering noises

Thats… a full circle… circlejerk. With extra steps.

And Profit.

Goddamn, well done anon.

… or a baker.

… Maybe you just got attracted by the bait.

The Oxford comma is when you have a list of things that have basically one more comma than usual, following the penultimate member of the list.

Oxford: Red, green, and blue.

Standard: Red, green and blue.

… The thing that is missing from the OP sentence that dramatically alters its meaning is the word ‘with’, not a comma.
