      I feel like one of the female Social Justice Nerds was described as "purple haired and chunky" (as opposed to the one who used to be a cheerleader but now tragically had dreadlocks and NO MAKEUP). Which, to be fair, probably falls into the "Big" category.

      My hunch is that long ago, perhaps sometime in the 1990s, William Johnstone became a house author; a pen name used by a bunch of writers coordinated by J.A. Johnstone. This was a pretty common thing back in the day: "Franklin Dixon" (Hardy Boys) is a good example. This would also help explain some of the genre-switching and the like. I don't find 200 novels (the number published before or soon after his death) in about 20 years to be a particularly plausible output level for one or two people.

A minimum of 330 books in sixteen years (fuck, even thirty years) is a completely ridiculous level of output from a single human being. It would easily make her the single most prolific fiction author in human history. L Ron Hubbard ranks pretty high on that particular list and he only ever managed to write something like 500,000 words in his entire career, something he achieved by publishing in pulp magazines in an era where literally never reading back (much less editing) anything because no one would care in a month was a viable strategy. Like...this is bad, but even this isn't even close to the standard of writing you'd expect from a novel written in its entirety in a couple of days.

      I.e A high school where you supposedly get bullied for existing as a white man and helping a woman when she's being assaulted. Also, antifa super soldiers.
      I noticed that when I started going to college, I started to lean way more left, not because of the teachers trying to drill it into me or anything, but just because it makes everyone's day easier. Pretty much everyone's there to get their classes done, to transfer or get a degree, and thinking that maybe "fellow gays aren't bad" or "women are as good as men" helps everybody out way more than being 'that guy' and stopping to go on a weird conservative tangent or trying to trick the teacher into some Shapiro "gotcha" trap.
      The point is, Conservatives who constantly whine about being bullied or "persecuted" for their beliefs on campus either don't actually go to college, or genuinely perceive classmates expressing annoyance at their bigoted opinions as "bullying".

      Means the author is not familiar with security tech. Exit signs have a separate independent power source (usually Longlife battery).

But it's a bit hard to call a man as beloved and decorated as Audie Murphy a coward, so when he started getting very public with his PTSD, it helped a lot of people see the disease in a new light.

      I wonder if Jake's nose is as big as Doc Motumbo's. If Jake says your nose is big does that mean it's even bigger than his or, since Jake IS big, any nose that's the same size as his is a big nose.

      @iggykidd Рік тому +42

      @@NotTheAntichrist I believe we are to understand that Jake, while very big, has a nose that is proportionately average-size relative to the rest of his face, so while relative to each other, his nose may be as big or even bigger than Motumbo's, it is not a thing worthy of ridicule, according to the author. Having a nose that is oversized relative to your face is apparently something that Motumbo should have trained for, and is a sign of his lack of conviction to being manly

I love Bass Pro Shop and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a camo jacket with matching comfortable shorts, an inside-the-waist-band holster, knife and gun. I was walking outside Kelton College. A lot of antifa stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

      Jake gets flashbacks, and doesn't feel safe without having weapons/access to weapons. You could interpret the "Jake is uncomfortable when he sees a Middle Eastern person" thing as his untreated PTSD (because we never see him go to therapy/a support group) turning this into some kind of racist phobia, where he's fixated on Arab or Middle Eastern PoC so much due to his experience with them overseas/in the battlefield that that's 100% what he associates them with (enabled by racial attitudes he learned from American culture, which his time in military service really drilled in extra-hard?). He's still a dick, obviously, but it kind of exposes how (at least for this author/their fans) the role of the ideal, masculine man is actually a deeply damaged/unstable person.

That in turn makes him more masculine, and the people who unironically consume these books can feel even more like the Big, Strong, Smart Boy. Plus, he's getting a degree in science, none of that girly fru-fru nonsense like communications or whatever.

    The bit about Audie Murphy was very much needed. That whole obsession with young WW2 soldiers is super common amongst reactionaries complaining about how "fragile" today's youth is. Every soldier they point to as a "badass that doesn't need safespaces" developed PTSD, oftentimes to crippling levels like what happened to Murphy, and many would eventually become advocates for mental health awareness and veteran rights (which mind you, is very brave and noble, but reactionaries hate).

      I feel like the whole "haha snowflake triggered" insult is used less by boomers here in the UK, and I sometimes wonder if it's as a result of a lot of them growing up around people who were children during WW2. "Billy saw a doodlebug flatten a house on his street when he was 14 and never slept through the night since" isn't as easy to glamorise as "Joey bravely fought on the front lines at just 16 years old".
