Conservatives were supposed to sweep up in France and UK and they both now have left wing parties in charge.
Being a pundit is a qualification, not a class. It means you have actual experience and training, not just another doomscroller with semi-informed, highly biased opinions like all of us.
Why is the “pundit class” so desperate to push carbon out of the atmosphere?
Celeste, FFXIV, Coffee Talk, The Last of Us, Life is Strange, Night in the Woods, it’s good time for gaymes. We’re all being pumped full of propagaynda and it the world is better for it.
Return of the mainframe.
The FBI won’t investigate elites r*ping children en masse, so for justice to be served, the victims have to hope it’s entertaining enough for a media company to. But no one who controls the media will open Epstien’s Box because they themselves are on his list or are at least in business with someone who is. Protecting Epstien’s clients is self preservation for law enforcement, the courts, and the media.
You can be critical of candidates you support. Biden’s only use is being not Donald. He’s not doing anything any other centrist dem would be doing in his shoes, and doing a whole lot less than a progressive. People see this. Biden is not an inspiring figure promising to produce a better future, he’s a generic placeholder, representing status quo in a dismal system. People aren’t energized to vote for this and that’s understandable. Pretending this isn’t an issue or isn’t costing his campaign votes only hurts the party. Vote for Biden, but demand better from the DNC. You can do both.
You cannot be on the left and not find fault with Biden. If so, you’re either a neoliberal or you’re fooling yourself.
You cannot be on the left in the US and not vote for Biden. Sometimes status quo is the better than the only other outcome.
These aren’t mutually exclusive, they are a sign you have a working brain and heart.
A Dutch one I got from my Oma: “It’s as if the angels upon my tongue have pissed”. It means “yum”.
The dystopian novel vibes.
Final Fantasy hasn’t been like that for a long long time. They make ARPGs now. Check out gameplay from ffxvi or the vii remake, it’s high paced action.
Many of these folks are still going to hold their nose and vote for Biden. A lot of these takes are valid criticisms without necessarily meaning they aren’t voting for him. Hating every candidate and voting for one anyway is a long standing tradition here in Canada.
Wipe away your tears, chill out, we’re just having fun playing around, this isn’t a serious discussion. Go rain on someone else’s parade.
Thou shalt not not kill.
Yessss! There’s not a lot of data on permaculture yet, but it’s a promising system. The homeopaths have really taken a shining to it and they pollute anything they touch with made up data and inflated price tags for white, faux-educated yuppies. There’s a lot of superstition mixed in with evidence based best practices in permaculture.
That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying you don’t need to be an asshole to disagree. You don’t need to “tear down” beliefs and “not play nice”. Being rude to people for being wrong just makes them dig deeper into being wrong out of defensiveness. It isn’t about edification, it’s about finding an excuse to be mean.
That said, other people’s education is not my responsibility. Taking the time and energy required to correct a random stranger about what shape the earth is isn’t going to change the world but it will take a toll on me. Being wrong doesn’t make them a bad person. Being a jerk to them for believing so does. Believing in a flat earth a symptom of fundamentally flawed reasoning skills that I don’t have the time or energy to deal with. If someone believes the earth is flat, I’ll politely disagree and state my opinion, but ultimately I’ll let them do them. Who cares. I choose my friends, they won’t make the cut.
An AI using what I say to train it will only make AI more like me. As far as I’m concerned, that’s an improvement that may help others while not affecting my life one iota. It’s not like it remembers who said what, it all just tweaks the algorithm.
Advertisers have been recording and storing what you say word for word to build a profile specific to you, containing your deepest, darkest truths so they can trick you into giving them more of your money. Who cares about AI training on publicly posted comments, it’s just taking energy away from the real privacy issues.
In Voyager, the ship is the lagoon. It’s probably got the same square footage as the island. Just look at Voyager as static and the rest of the galaxy is moving past it, washing up shenanigans every week.
So you’re an asshole, using religion as an excuse to berate and bully people, got it.
In medieval times, when you had the flu, the prescription was lots of water. Not to flush your system and keep you hydrated as is modern wisdom, but to balance your humors, which is made-up nonsense.
Instead of turning your machine into a pretend N64, it turns the game into a native pc program. You need the base rom so the makers don’t get sued.
