I feel like it's accurate to say Texas is completely Texas.

Given how you say it's happening across 43 states, I should point out I'll be in Britain.

Also, you're just saying "lets do something" and not saying what you'll actually do. Your scale is spread thin and your talking points are empty cliches. In the end, you will do nothing.

Edit: Called it.

Human centipede economics.

I think OP might have a skewed opinion of the centre.

Bathos. That's Bathos. Interrupting something serious to ridicule it. It's been a trope since the 18th century, and it's definitely not just a "leftist" trope. It's also NOT the only type of joke in left-wing media, or the only types of jokes in those specific movies. Most of Deadpool is pop culture references, for example.

Care to give an example of a movie that does this?

Ah, the common paradox. Nobody wants to listen to Nickelback because it's overplayed, and nobody drives in New York because of all the traffic.

Scenario 1: It's your radio. Turn to a different station.
Scenario 2: It's a friend's radio. Ask them to turn to a different station.
Scenario 3: It's a public radio. Just zone out for three minutes.

And on the subject of not getting to choose the songs, what station is choosing to play 20 year old songs by a band it's a meme to hate?

First, this was never about your opinion. It was about an article that complained about music being used in advertising, songs being popular, and people being inspired by a band. That was the opinion you cited as a good reason to hate them.

Second, how often does that actually happen? Considering it's an internet meme to shit on them, how often do people cite Nickelback as their main example of rock ahead of, say, Nirvana?

Third, why is it disgusting that people mention a band you dislike? Can you not simply correct them and suggest the bands you ACTUALLY like? Does it have to be "hate" rather than "I'm not a fan"?

Fourth, how the hell did Nickelback ruin rock? Is rock so fragile that the Eagles can't be enjoyed because of "How you remind me" existing? There are bands far worse than Nickelback, but they aren't successful so you don't care. If Nickelback weren't as successful, you wouldn't care about them either.

...But you don't have to listen to it. If it's on the radio, change the station. The complaints in the article were WAY too in depth for a casual listener to make.

Why would you hate someone for making music you don't enjoy? Why hate someone for making money with a successful product? Why not just... Ignore them? You are under no obligation to like them, but there's only around three arguments in there to actually hate them. There are more arguments in that article that boil down to "it's successful, so it sucks" than valid criticism.

Holy fuck, that article is elitist. Half of the sections seem pointlessly mean, like they're trying to dunk on them to win popularity points. One of them is just insulting Chad Kroeger for marrying Avril Lavigne, as if a 10+ year marriage is a bad thing. Some valid points buried in there, but the credibility is lost.

Just off the top of my head, you could give them a flaw that, while it doesn't make them any less cunning, it does let the players see what's happening.

Method 1: Gloating. What is the point in being a genius if nobody ever notices? When the villain has the party on the ropes, have them point out moments of the plan that the party could have noticed but didn't. Maybe they wait to give the shopkeep the bounty until the party can see it happen, just so they know.

Method 2: Worse minions. The plan is amazing, but the people carrying it out aren't quite as discrete as the villain. Maybe the security make a little noise as they stalk the party, and there are moments where the players could spot them.

Either way, the players will know something is up, and might have an opportunity to use this new information to turn the tables on the villain ("might" and "opportunity" being the key words there).

It's a meme because someone said it, because that person is both a christian and a weeb.

Yeah? How else are you supposed to have the power of God and anime on your side?

Preteen me was bad at Japanese.

I would actually recommend !anime@ani.social instead. The admins of lemmy.ml are weirdly hostile towards anime, but ani.social is an anime-specific instance.

"What are the most vile things you would do if there were no consequences?" That's all you need. Everything else didn't need to be there, and still doesn't.

You are actively making this post terrible.

You already edited three times, once to complain about people not liking the question. You have the time to respond to me, you have the time to fix your mistake. The fact you aren't makes everything you're doing intentional.

You had a short question! The only reason it didn't fit is you wanted to add too much context ahead of time and MADE it not fit. The context could have come after.
