Yeah, let's make the military great again! Just like in Full Metal Jacket!

Anyone looking for more of this, check out Boolean Union

I found this site years ago, but I haven't visited it in forever. They dissect Chick Tracts, and the site is a great way to read the full source material. From a cursory look, it seems they're still going strong to this day, up to Tract #285 now (there are still new ones being published). It's not just Chick Tracts, they've covered a lot of other evangelical fundamentalist pieces.

EDIT: I was a bit wrong, they just have every tract CATALOGUED on their site. By no means have they dissected them all, though they have quite a bit to dissect. The page I linked is a list of tracts that, when clicked, redirect to the Jack Chick website, where you can read them in full. Anyone looking for in-depth dissections can find them elsewhere on the Boolean Union site.

It was the end of 9th grade, so I was 15 or 16. I read it immediately after To Kill a Mockingbird, which did not make it look good in comparison 😂

Asking questions is how most people show interest. That doesn't mean it's disingenuous. Conversations are not events where people take turns talking at each other, they're back-and-forths.

On the flip side, have you thought about how disingenuous it can seem when someone says nothing while you talk, and then immediately afterward starts talking about themselves and their life at length? Most people don't just automatically update everyone around them on everything in their lives, that's why people ask questions and show interest.

Well, you certainly seem like you don't care. Bravo!

Came here to ask this. Why will Big Soil not give us any answers?

If you want to discover new things, just push yourself to try one thing per week you've never tried before, no matter what that is. It can be scary, but you will find as many new things you enjoy as there are things you don't enjoy. For music, I like to listen to different genres because that lets me explore many new artists with an overarching musical theme that I know I enjoy. So like I know I love grunge, probably not gonna be a hard experience to get into Mother Love Bone. Or I'll pick an all new genre and get a feel for it.

Relatability is a tough concept, because in my experience that's one of the gaps that's super hard to bridge between NT/ND communication. It's not really possible to make yourself more relatable, because others have to relate to you, and that's subjective from person to person because that's something they have to do in their own head. But, I have found the more you try to relate to other people, the more they try to relate to you. So take that how you will.

I don't know how obscure this is because it was on the Skate 3 soundtrack. However, I've never met a person that knew the song, and it's not on any music streaming services, so I think it's a little obscure.

I just want it to be more clear what products are in my food.

South Park: The Stick of Truth. You can 100% it in one run and it takes around 20 hours. Super fun game too :)

Quite a few, I'm one of those people. In fact, I could answer this question in so many different ways. The game I feel is the "prize" of my collection, though, is Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude.

I like the classic point and click Leisure Suit Larry games; I think they have a certain charm about them, and though they're drenched in sleaze, Larry in his quests for sex more often than not ends up the butt of the joke. Raunchy, sexual, but most importantly, mainly making fun of our protagonist desperately trying to get laid. The gameplay was fun too, point and click games have a certain feel that you don't see too much today. On top of all that, when the series moved into a more higher resolution art for LSL 4, 6 and 7 the series genuinely beautiful with an unforgettable style

LSL: MCL does not have much of this. You play truly horribly designed minigames over and over to progress. These range from bad to worse, and you will become the best virtual quarters player of all time by the end of it, I promise you. The comedy is reduced to 2000s boner comedy level, and it seems as though Larry (or Larry's nephew, Larry, in this case) is an unironic protagonist on a real quest, rather than failing upwards, accompanied by the constant mockery of our witty narrator. What once was a series about a hopeless sleazeball constantly petitioning and getting rejected by women out of his league got turned into a unironic college boning simulator. To top it all off, our beautiful art has been replaced by the early-2000s-est of 3D models and textures

I played it for 22 hours or so. Couldn't stop. It's like a car crash. Not only does it If any game deserves "so bad, it's good" status, LSL: MCL is at the top of the list.

For those kind enough to read my rant, here are some runners up from my shelf in which I assume you'd also be interested:

BCFX The Black College Football Experience: A college football game where only Historically Black Colleges and Universities are selectable. Only part of the game is really about football, because you also play as the band at halftime in a Rock Band-style minigame. It's such a niche game, with such a niche audience. Who probably won't even like the game because it doesn't play well at all.

Sneak King: C'mon, we all know this one. Premium, refined jank.

Fight Club: A fighting game based on the movie based on the book, where you can play as Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and also Abraham Lincoln should you so desire.

MTV's Pimp My Ride: PBG fans out there, time to represent. Basically just a minigame collection with some driving between. It did, however, teach me how to Ghost Ride the Whip, for which I am eternally grateful.

Oh that's cute! I haven't messed around with any metallics yet but I got some blue eyeliner recently and I think that the look I'm putting together with it requires something that bold.
