A really egotistical person in Hitchhikers was immune to the gun because they were self centered, warped perspectives can defeat it, thus super villains can still be a thing.I remember a long time ago a couple of my friends were discussing Hitchhikers and the topic of the Point of View Gun came up. One of them thought it'd be a great idea that would help people understand his perspective, then the other asked him "Would you let yourself get shot with it?" and he replied "No, why would I do that?".
He quickly realised that it was a bit of a selfish perspective but that conversation really stuck with me.
He was probably referring to Harry Anslinger, so while it's an oversimplification to say that one man is solely responsible for how modern society views marijuana use, it's also not exactly incorrect.And holy shit, his whole thing about how weed was criminalized by one person was infuriating.

Pat PSA
Hey heads up people, I'm changing my twitter handle, and later my twitch handle once folks get used to it to PatStaresAt all across the board. It's a little silly I'm still using the angriestpat name on stuff even though it's ancient and honestly everythings been PSA forever now.
I can't imagine why he didn't wish to go with FuckfaceStaresAt.Pat PSA

Oh that's true, damn hahaThing is, he wasn't talking about Anslinger. He was talking about a paper magnate fighting the hemp industry.
When i heard him go about one guy telling lies and persuading others to lies, i thought "is he talking about churches and priests again?", his upbringing clearly shaped him to who he is and people telling him about God is a mayor influence in how he perceives falsehoods and people getting coned. Society is a bit more complex than everyone getting duped by one person, the salem talk is about mutliple people being real assholes about things. Evil and greed can be a factor in a collective of people.And like, when he first starts talking about the "one guy" I was like, "oh shit, history lesson?" And then it just kinda fizzled into nothing. Similar to what happened with that poor guy's email.
His meltdown at what Strand means in dutch was fantasticWoolie's death Stranding stream was great.
Everyone agrees Cliff is the fucking best
Is it really just because it means beach? It also the same in german, but stranded is a word associated with shores and the sea in english, i must underestimate native english speakers for never having looked at a dictionary before. I guess they don't have to and the connection is lost on them but pretty apparent to me, god what would a german dub of death stranding sound like. I already cringe at most german dubbed anime.
We rarely use strand to refer to the beach (also yeah there's never an instance where someone uses the word "strand" in any conversation where we'd have to consult a dictionary. I haven't consulted a dictionary since the word 'diagetic'). More often than not we use strand in reference to its first verbal definition or second noun definition, which is also the one that the game uses the mostIs it really because it means beach?

You know that Kojima loves him the english dictionary. My english teacher was such a hardcore lover of dictionaries and language he told us you haven't learned shit if you study languages and can't fully write in the international phonetic alphabet yet.We rarely use strand to refer to the beach (also yeah there's never an instance where someone uses the word "strand" in any conversation where we'd have to consult a dictionary.

Woolie sometimes brings up the fascination with language Kojima has, in the same way we westerners can only marvel/scratch our heads at the mutlitudes of meanings in Kanji and word-play used in japanese and chinese. Perhaps it's something like that when Kojima uses it with english words, however english doesn't have the bonus of Kanji meanings for us to go galaxy brain on stuff. It just seems goofy and not as fascinating as Kojima likes to think of it.
Language loses its mysticism when you speak it. Getting a kanji tattoo of a random word will probably look cool regardless of what it actually says, but in english that isn't the caseWoolie sometimes brings up the fascination with language Kojima has, in the same way we westerners can only marvel/scratch our heads at the mutlitudes of meanings in Kanji and word-play used in japanese and chinese.

And a random Kanji tattoo will get some laughs from the people who can read what you just did. I remember practicing bengali script from copying text from random books and magazines my parents brought over from their home and laughing at what i was writing down, i was just a kid who liked drawing the shapes without actually being able to read it and thought i'd make them proud how well i could write the characters.Language loses its mysticism when you speak it.

Hmmm ...watching the original Shitstorms and Pat sure dropped the r-word a ton.
But he got better so, eh,.
I mean, Liam said the n-word on the podcast once, which regardless of intent was pretty shocking and strangely I've never seen it brought up.
