Honestly I listen to very little country, so that's all probably fair.  But country music fans haven't changed that much, so I'd bet coming out for socialism would be enough to really curtail the audience.  They'd probably end up having to rebrand as Americana.

really old school outlaw country is where it’s at. Southern poetry honestly.
 

Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Neko Case, Hank Williams Jr, Hank Williams III, early Dolly Parton (yes I’m being serious). Stuff like that. Put it right onto my veins

To be honest on this, it doesn't matter if Punk or anyone else thinks that frame data is ruining fighting games because inevitably SOMEONE is going count frames and that person is going to put their findings up on the internet.  Putting the frame data up in the game just streamlines the process so everyone has access to the same information because if you didn't, the conversation be about people who know and have access to that data versus people who don't.

Im more facinated by harada. Punk complains about something new every week but harada is the real enemy. Because he actually has sway, its annoying and all its gonna lead towards is more hacking the pc games apart lol. Like its the fgc, we figured frame data out long before the industry actually gave it to us

How soon until more trans-age people show up?  That would be a roundabout way of adding the "P" to the big acronym, btw... 🤣  Hey, if you aren't accepting of that 31 year old dude saying he "identifies" as a 15 year old so it's totally ok for him to have a 14 year old girlfriend then I guess you're a bigoted piece of shit, obviously.

Man, don't know how I found out about this. YoungRippa has his own comic book publishing company. I don't always agree with him but I respect him for speaking his mind. Seeing some of things people has said about a brother putting out his own stuff, with his own money, is unsurprising but disappointing. People hitting this man with the hard R on Twitter and it's the people that claim to be "liberal" and "open minded".

Yeah, it is amusing how they are only anti racist until you go against their ideologies, then they are even worse than what they accuse you being.

MFers confirming what I have been saying for years, that they are closeted racists projecting their idiocy on others.

No wonder they insists on using POC as a moniker for us, or impose Latinx in a very imperialistic way upon latinos 🤣

(for those who don't know POC is a racist term from the 20's & 30's)

 

 

Rippa put 200k of his own pocket, and now he got like 1 million iirc with the crowdfunding campaign.

I am really glad that his project is doing numbers, and hopefully it delivers, so it can give a big middle finger to those who think that is ok to denigrate him, simply because he doesn't agree with the hive mind

[Darc_Requiem]

I wish I had saved it but there was a web comic that described this situation. It had Super Liberal on the left, regular person in the middle, and Super Conservative on the right. The Super Liberal and Super Conservatives were both racist. The Super Liberal thought you were too dumb to do things on your own and needed their help. The Super Conservative thought you were too dumb and told you about it. They were both racist one just thought they weren't.

Having Harada co-sign your position on frame data is not a good thing.

It's honestly how you know you've fucked up and should rethink your position. 

 

But Punk likes playing people who don't intimately know the game, cuz he's a punk. He lives up to his name.

Wow. I don't fuck with dude really, but if he's really pulling this off it's to be lauded. I just hope (for his sake; I don't read comics) it's not on some "trying to be anti-woke" shit like his videos are. That shit gets annoying fast, and from what I hear comics aren't selling that well anyway.

That comic is truth. I identify as that regular person, especially here. It's just there are no super conservatives here so super liberals are the ones I have to talk the most shit about out.

ha, tonight on Fresh & Fit they have one fat girl as one of the guests....so you know the live chat is in pure NO MERCY mode... it's going to be non-stop roast sessions and I'm loving it.  She kinda reminds me of Kenan from SNL with a wig

In the earlier show today they covered that story of the woman who was too fat to get on the horse at a ranch... and just a moment ago Fresh asked the big girl if she ever rode a horse

Depends on what comics you mean. Marvel and DC seem to be struggling but they aren't giving their audience what they want. They have writers that are using existing characters they don't care about as a Trojan Horse to push whatever issues they are truly passionate about. Regardless of whether that issue aligns with the character they are writing for. They've alienated their core audience to appeal to people that will give them a pat on the back on Twitter and not buy their product. Manga is selling like hot cakes for reason. These independent comic projects, like Rippaverse, are shattering their goals with lighting speed for a reason. Their is an audience hungering for a product that traditional sources aren't giving them.

[TheInfernoman]

I haven't bought a comic in years...I only have been following select manga stories because the stories are just that and not trying to pander to me. If Eric July (Rippa) delivers he will carve a niche he will profit big time from. I may buy his comic. I respect what he's trying to do.

Sarah and co-star Freddie weren't just lovers on-screen either, with their romance extending to their private lives too after they met on the set of I Know What You Did Last Summer.  They got married in 2002 and have two children.

Facts. Anytime Peterson meets any sort of push back he crumbles and turns into a generic angry old white man. 

I don't know why Jordan Peterson like him anyway. I don't know much about his debates, the only thing I watched in full was when he owned a feminist news reporter about salary, but other than that I have not seen/heard much about his views because he is really ugly and he sounds creepy as fuck. He looks like a pedophile who prays on young fat ugly white boys at a chucky cheese.  He also looks like vegan who drives a nice blue sports car.

Speaking of which, I discovered Irish pubs have a lot of older fan white girls who smoke with a bunch of old fat veterans.. just a pro tip for some.

What is funny is that those comics are shattering their goals even when they try to supress them.

Like for example, any discussion regarding Rippaverse is banned on reddit, because of course they do.

[J-ride]

To me the interesting thing about these kickstarter comics is they are straight up just 90s comics created without the blessing of one of the big publishers.  They also consistently outsell big name comics because there are a good number of people who just want traditional comic books and not are not interested in "The Monologuing Adventures of Wiccan lesbians."

I've looked it up and there's a Rippaverse subreddit.

I assume talking about it is banned in some major comics subreddit that's run by bitchmade moderators, that sounds more like typical reddit rather than a general ban.

Everything is some sort of attempt to do X to Y or somehow related to population control and cabals of baby-eaters controlling the masses. All I could think about is the Robot Chicken sketch where Walt Disney post-death became a child eating robot.

Speaking about comics, I was thinking about starting to read a bunch of them because there was some stuff that interested me, but really didn't know where to start because I'm kinda completely new to this.

 

Good news. There was this site some time ago called Comixology that sold digital comics and neatly organized them according to publishers, main character, series, and so on. It didn't have everything, but it had most of everything, and most importantly it was well organized. Only problem I think was that you had to go through hoops to download stuff, but you could still get it done back when I gave it a try.

So, even though I wasn't really buying anything, I got used to browse the site, take not of publishers and series that I might have wanted to check out in the future, expecting that when I felt I would have started buying some stuff here and there.

 

Well, too bad! Because Jeff Bezos showed up one day with his ugly fucking bald head and said: "Hey, let's buy this shit, I can probably finance my thirteenth yacht with it down the line". But it wasn't enough for him to buy the website and make money off it, no, his bald head was too dumb and fried by the sun for that. Good ol' Jeff decides that Comixology needs to be directly incorporated into Amazon, the old website and all its organization scrapped and thrown in the garbage. So instead of being able to look up for comics based on what each publisher offers, the main series for each and then the various runs they had, now the way you're supposed to do it is type stuff in Amazon search in the kindle section and hope you get what you're looking for. Back on Comixology you could also get suggestions from time to time about stuff similar to what you looked before, and in that way you could run into smaller publishers that would have been harder to notice otherwise. Now that's gone too and I assume that's kind of a blow to smaller comics publishers who probably rely on digital more than Marvel and DC.

 

Needless to say, it's quite the downgrade, and I hope the sun fries Jeff Bezos' brain like an egg, since his head already looks like one anyway.

 

Now, you wanna know what's the alternative I found that does a better job at letting me find the stuff that might interest me and also search for stuff decently well?

Guess what? It's pirate sites! Whoever said that piracy is a service problem is once again proved correct, because it's not my fault if the easiest way I have to browse for comics without making it obnoxious for myself is to load up a pirate site and download the scans, even if I'm perfectly willing to pay.

 

And the funny thing is: even if I got hooked to a series on some pirate site and then decided to buy legitimate copies because I'm a good person who wants to support the creatives, it still would be a headache to figure out where and how to buy what. Each publisher seems to have independent stores, and I don't want to make a million accounts, and the alternative seems to search for each individual issue of each series on Amazon and buy each one separately to use their kindle shit. Which seems worse than just downloading the scans by the way.

Reddit will be the minority to comics majority. They can complain and bitch but the numbers rarely reflect how they actually view comics. They can say this comic is woke and whatever but most of the time the numbers show people love and support it. 

 

Ie. Jane fosters thor was being shitted on, online by places like reddit. But it was one of the best selling runs in a while.

Another option is from time to time humble bundle releases huge comic collections for pretty cheap if you ever are interested in buying them.  I bought the entire SF comic run a few weeks ago.

Not sure of the correlation here. Rippavese is banned on Reddit. You can't discuss it on comics reddit all. Moreover no one is saying Rippavese or Isom is woke. It's been successful despite being literally de-platformed. I seriously doubt all discussion on the Jane Foster Thor run is banned. So I don't see the relevancy.

One of the things in life that pisses me off to no end. To shell out all that money month after month. "Just in case" But it goes to some corperation that decides if you actually need it or not. Should something happen. And not to an account you can access.

 

Car insurance at least needs to be done away with. Instead. A person buying a car. Should have x amount of money available for accidents. Upon purchase of the car. And that money should be set aside in an account. And should an accident occur. The bank can be contacted. And they'll use money from the account to pay for damages.

 

I'm sure it's more complicated than that. But this car insurance shit ain't it. It needs to go

[J-ride]

I would be way more in favor of insurance in general if it did what it was supposed to do the few times in my life I have needed it.  For the most part it's just money down the drain that you are never getting back.

Exactly! We talking several hundreds of dollars people paying every month for insurance. Only to need it once or twice in their life time. Either government needs to make it so that people have to have the money to cover an accident when purchasing a car. Or make it so that insurance companies. Have to refund x percent of the premium paid. If no accidents occurred during the life of the policy

I was just speaking on comics in the woke era in general and its dealings with reddit. Not this specific comic.. I basically know shit about it or it being banned.
