Sounds like you defeated the curse from Final Destination well done

I’m pretty sure Trash is a type

Counterpoint: no

Call me Trubbish cuz I’m literally trash, not the big one tho cuz I’m still cute

Yeah that’s on me.

tbh I didn’t mean the gang specifically, the cowboy mythos was created and perpetuated by the bourgeoisie to colonize land indirectly and Arthur’s story is kind of a recognition of the farse that it was

Oh no I agree he has to die, the story is a tragedy, just the manner of his death in this way was a little silly.

Its a minor criticism, but my issue with it is it’s not subtle. Like working for a debtor was obviously killing Arthur spiritually and metaphorically, making it also literally killing him seemed unnecessary.

I apologize to once again to keep my bullshit going but to your point about Dutch’s characterization (which I think nails him to a tee) I think he was written a faux (some kind of) radical intentionally but not because of some lack of theory (but this could still also be true) but for both finishing up Arthur’s arc when he realizes he’s full of shit and setting his character up to make sense retroactively for RDR1 as a villain for Marston.

Does the debtor thing change over the game? I remember that incident early on being what gets him really thinking about who he is.

Major spoilers for RDR2.

100%

You can surmise some of what Arthur’s values are by who he perceives as his enemies.

He also really hates debtors considering his relation to Herr Muller. Strauss.

RDR2 is about a man realizing he and his ilk were sent by the American bourgeoisie to colonize land only to then have it stolen again from them in turn. It’s about the remorse from realizing you’ve been wrong your entire life, and desperately wishing to undo it. Arthur is scum, he even vocalizes this - he hates himself. He then realizes he does in fact, have a soul but if only too late.

Most of this isn’t written explicitly which is why I would argue the writing is good, actually.

Also you get to kill Klan members.

This fakery is unveiled whenever you see a Celebrity Jeopardy episode where the news anchors/political commentators get demolished by comedians, even though the anchors appear way more put together and well read than the comedians do.

My personal theory is once you finally realize that everything you were ever taught was nonsense the “trying to appear put together” nonsense also goes out the window.

Good soup is still mid at best.

LBJ had a giant win in 1964 after Kennedy was shot

Very interesting, much to consider. Out of curiosity how were Kennedys polling numbers during this same period???

Best deal in gaming is a PC with a torrent client

My Dad thinks this same shit.

I can’t afford to date, Dad. It’s not the misogynistic “women be expensive” nonsense either. I can’t afford to leave the house to do anything by myself let alone another person.

Me on Thursday: Alright let’s see what the big deal about Dwarf Fortress is, the hexbear nerds have talked me into it.

Me Friday morning at 6am: oh no

IMO don’t do any of the cornball shit like trying to sound sick if you aren’t, and do not ask or make it sound like there is any negotiation to be had.

Simply ask to speak to the person who needs to know and when they pick up just “Hey I’m not feeling well I will not be coming in today.” Just state it as fact.

Nobody likes Hunter Biden. Not Liberals, not conservatives, not us. Nobody.

Just like with Trump it’s irony poisoning as a self defense mechanism because the reality of these idiots just being able to fail upwards is bleak as hell.

It’s a gag, no need to overthink it.
