Those cabinets in brown are hideous. I'm not a fan of the purple, either, but at least it has character.

Yes.

Maybe, but even ten years ago, people would have hesitated to say this kind of thing publicly. Or am I wrong in thinking that? It's not that I think it didn't happen, but it seems to me that it happens with much greater frequency now.

It's a 196 thing, I think.

What the everloving fuck is going on? Why is society regressing so far with all of these bullshit views?

My dad, probably. My mom, absolutely not. Of course, I barely talk to anyone I don't live with, and I'm 38, so I wouldn't actually talk to either of them.

So, they're intolerant... of him? That's pretty targeted intolerance, almost as if they're not targeting an entire group of people based on one shared trait

That's behavior from games 30+ years ago.

I'm 38 and never plan to stop. Of course, I met my wife through World of Warcraft, and we game together most nights. My parents still play games in their mid 60s, too. I remember a kid mocking my dad for gaming at 40 when I was a kid. I imagine that guy is doing the same thing now.

Yet you could also do much more good with mind control powers than the others. You could be the ultimate mediator, force peace through a means other than violence, get massive changes in place to help the environment, etc. The power absolutely has potential for great evil, but a good person could accomplish much.

Nah. Trump did it, so it's good. It's not like they actually think.
