I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

I'm not sure how much it's still a thing, but if you're going to make a game that expects your standard 4 character RPG party, you should make a point of having multiple options per role

my brain is stuck on not being able to understand if this uses a "no stairs" gltich, or doesn't use the stairs glitch

I feel like software engineering is what you'd get if trades weren't regulated in some way

it's baffling how many programmers seem to present themselves as if they have only ever worked in perfect environments with perfect standards where everyone follows them and it's perfect but then cannot discuss different paradigms except as how they're wrong

I would appreciate it if everyone could report @nerdskull.com for harassment and impersonation, at this point. This is just absolutely batshit levels of harassment and obsession here.

I really struggle at suspending disbelief on the second season of Wednesday, it's all the normal details of hard to swallow plus a world with no internal logic

History will record the irony that those entities which were best placed to resist fascism, the ones with bottomless wells of cash and legal resources that could fight anyone to a standstill in any court, were the ones who capitulated first. Looking at you, infotainment industry and Ivies.

I think we need like a religion of resistance Humans are too stupid to follow intellectual principals, we need an instilled culture of organization and repudiation of conservative ideas, one that will act where Christians and Catholics have failed to police their own

I'm jealous I have no idea how I'm going to celebrate Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day They'll have statues to knock over and piss on

Amazon spent $70 billion on A.I. to make their site less attractive to visit to find so-so products at less savings and provide working conditions that inspire an annual turnover rate of 150%.

seriously what the fuck is wrong with cnn

are there any TTRPGs where the players set the stakes? Like, they come up with a plan and they volunteer/negotiate with the DM what the consequences will be for failure? DM still can determine to what degree the consequences, or shift them appropriately to specifics

lights with no power sparking when they're broken is such a confusing choice

my brains last cell

using AI products right now is contributing and participatory in fascism Every single company is either directly complicit or has bent the knee

"a rage virus"

I don’t think Ben realises how funny this quote is

This was because said dev made a joke about if the shooter's name was Mario. Because, y'know. Mario and Luigi. Extremely tame stuff. But they fired an employee at the behest of a Twitter mob THAT WAS ALREADY BOYCOTTING THEIR GAME. The same mob that was harassing the star of their game. Dumbfucks.

“As a university we are promoting the death of critical thinking because apparently everyone involved with decision making at our school is literally too ignorant to understand what this tech is and why it’s being pushed” You should issue refunds to your students

The only reason you'd publish this is if you're trying to signal something It is extremely normal for students to get free software, and I assume also faculty You must also admit that you're contributing to fascism as every single AI company is participatory

Why?

My theory about genAI and genAI companies - i think it's a form of artificial dependency. They inject genAI into every aspect of your life, even in places you don't need them, all to make you think you can't go without them, so they can profit off whatever data you have and whatnot.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

It's so weird when people try to associate Idiocracy with fascism Idiocracy was like a mostly peaceful, gradual decline of society by just hyper focusing and extrapolating certain patterns Society is, ultimately, as the name suggests, just rule by idiots

Is there anything to the idea that consolidation is the downfall of anything? And I mean to apply this to Democracy as a concept Once "Democracy" is the consolidation of all of your moral and ethical conception, then you become incapable of actually supporting democracy

Dear gestapo trash:

I think perhaps I grew up playing games and talking about them with other people and I improperly associated the thing I enjoyed with the game instead of the other people and then I reinforced that for 30 years and now I'm stuck

Every op-ed I read these days conveys the cynical belief that a majority of Americans are huge babies who cannot handle progressive policies of any kind, and in order to win them over you must appeal to the sensibilities of King Baby, the pundit himself.

Borderlands isn't good enough to have to follow an optimization guide to get it to run well I don't mean like it's not optimized or anything, I mean it's just not fundamentally that special that you should need to do anything more than meet specs and run at medium

Ezra Klein 🤝 Neera Tanden Despite the overwhelming popularity of abortion rights in all states, we should surrender instead

Having difficulty articulating how I feel about how the impending civil war vibes are clashing with the way Democratic figureheads seem to care the more about "the integrity of women's sports" than concentration camps on US soil.

"Don't say critical things about the shitheads, it will just make them more shitty." It is honestly astonishing how often arguments of this form pop up. They are *everywhere* these days.

If you think that they have any way of fixing this now without a messy divorce, you're way more optimistic than me.

Speaking of things making themselves irrelevant and shrinking their audience, how are things at the Washington Post?

interesting someone called me a retard and now anti trans posts are showing up on my feed

There desperately needs a version of following that is follow the person and not also also ingest their feed

It's weird how many people are 0 degrees of separation from shitty people

there is still no better time than now than to cancel your washington post subscriptions if you for some reason still have one

I dunno, just fucking resign, go live in the woods, and never be heard from again

And yet, AFAIK, not a word said to condemn the racist abuse sent Erika Ishiis way after she was announced as the lead for Yotei.
