My mind’s eye flashes to something like The Master and I’m bummed that’s considered “gamey” by great actors. Not that I expect actors to go fucking play Fallout 1 with a Small Gun Crit/Speech build and go collect the Brotherhood’s data and confront the Master in a battle of words… but if someone would like to show Goggins on their phone that kind of thing is in the games, that the games themselves strived very hard to make living, colorful worlds, I think it certainly wouldn’t hurt the show. Hell if someone wants to show that scene to anyone currently at Bethesda I think it could positively impact the next game.

I miss all previous presidents I have experienced prior to now and even Bush would be an improvement versus what we have literally now. They’re all directly at fault for the present situation in some way.

Regular, non-expert internet users find it interesting, or even amusing, to generate images or videos using AI and to send that media to their friends. While sophisticated media aesthetics find those creations gauche or even offensive, a lot of other cultures find them perfectly acceptable. And it’s an inarguable reality that millions of people find AI-generated media images emotionally moving.

You’re describing the internet equivelant of ignorance and figurative poverty, where people don’t have the knowledge or the resources to make better choices (fast food deserts, faith healers, the PowerBall) because they are institutionally deprived. This is the same class of users/consumers that big companies look for those exact same qualities in to shill the exact same AI garbage to because they don’t know anybetter. This article is suggesting Mozilla flood the streets of a poor neighborhood with their own crank because their crank is cut less. I see the argument as bad, I see the premise as evil, and I see the rhetoric as manipulative. Respectfully, no.

Its hosted on a site called lithub, the author is actually an academic. Maybe what you wanted was a more concise op-ed but its just not what the gentleman wrote.

Prop 50 passed in California in response to Texas’ redistricting. Other states would have to have a competitive congress and the states that need it most are red as hell. In the case of Texas, their redistricting effort was a national push from the party to consolidate their hold on the house, which was easiest to do in Texas because its already gerrymandered to shit and you can pass whatever you want there. However, the most conservative city in the most conservative county in the state keep going nearly purple on them. If you want Prop 50 in your state its going to take a serious groundgame and a charismatic figurehead like Newsom (hocks loogie). Its not possible without a strong local democrat party and some states are too electorally captured, it will take unseating untold numbers of Republicans in those places to even have a referendum. Whats going to kick off now are further redistricting efforts around the country from all states that are solidly one color or another.

IM SO GLAD WE HELD THAT ONE BACK FOR THE SAKE OF DECORUM AND NOW IT DOESN’T MATTER AT ALL HAAAAAAAAAAA

If Halo wasn’t dead before it is now. Microsoft whored the Chief out. Considering the state the franchise was already in remaking its first game for a third time to milk nostalgia, I just don’t think there’ll ever be another Halo title that doesn’t reek of tonsil stones and human ashes.

This WAS becoming a mainstream issue more people were waking up to. Then ten years of rule by the culprits out large shut the whole thing up and went further to normalize it. Now were just waiting for talking heads to start edging close to saying its not taboo. Dumpster fire of a social fabric speckled by predators hiding in plain sight and laughing at us.

Are you sure its that and nothing to do with the fact we’re taught to understand the relationship between electricity, energy, and computation through the metaphor of a potato battery powering very small things like LEDs?

“Finally”

Hours after it happened I had this hole in my stomach from how bad I wanted panicking conservatives to realize this level of alarm and fear is how regular people feel ALL the time. There are parents whose kids won’t ever come home again and THEY’RE not unique, they don’t matter, and the DOJ isn’t acting as their goddamn lawyer. Right Wingers are reacting like this because this is the first time a shooting at a school campus hurt someome they registered as real and not a crisis actor. Again, being angry, freigtened, and heartbroken is how the rest of America feels about gun violence, and we’re just told to get over it. It sucks it had to happen to someone they knew for that reality the rest of us live to sink in

This is literally the world I and many others grew up. Rifle rounds have more freedom on campus than students do.

I am perpetually haunted by a news story I saw circa 2018 showing footage of children being led around New York at about 1AM by a prim kindergarten teacher-type woman. News sources at the time said they came from the border. So what in the name of God were they doing in New York across the continent? I have had a rising sense of panic about this for ever and I fear you are dead on. Want a never ending goodie bag of slaves with no paper trail? Militarize a border.

All true, but the evangelical right don’t care about that, that’s all neocon power games and European stuff. The power driving how the admin behaves has nothing to do with longterm geopolitical thinking and everything to do with racialized religious intolerance, property deals, and people literally praying for the end of the world.

I was begging people to listen. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are fucking failures but Harris, while still a milquetoast cop, would have at some point stopped supporting Israel because of optics. Probably after too many were already dead of course. But the actual theology of mainline Christianity involves prophecies where both Israel and everyone on all sides of her suffer inconceivably. Christians have reversed the causation so that by causing, hopefully, a nuclear hot war in the Middle East they literally think Jesus will come back. There is and was NO ROOM for Palestinians in this plan. Not a one. There is, in fact, no room for anybody but the sanctified corpses of Jews the Christians only used as pawns and their own selves just waiting on the smoking ruins for Jesus. This is WHY Americans support Israel and even the Democrats still sell them guns: They virtue signal being Christian for campaigning optics, and that means selling guns to God’s chosen fall guys. I tell you with 100% certainty Netanyahu knows this very basic fact about the American Christian right and exploited it to stay in power and out of jail. Trump needed to win an election to stay out of jail. October 7th was perfect timing for them. The idiot “faithful” democrats had to virtue signal their adherence to iron age thought systems or the so-called moderate vote they believed in would completely evaporate. Well, they were never going to win that game if they were playing with conservative Christians in practically their home town of Israel Apocalypse stuff.

Yeah this is why I argued what I argued. This is why I dealt with getting called an idiot, centrist, and a shill. The plan by our administration and the rich Israelis is to let Israel stir up a general war, maybe even a nuclear exchange, let all those pesky people in the holy land erradicate eachother. The more they do and the more violently and brutally they do it, the harder the ripcord of Christofascism is yanked. I’m not really looking forward to seeing what these people are like when they think they’re literally all bit players in the Book of Revelarions.

I invite you to take a look at what the coffee actually did to her before you keep running your mouth. NSFL. If you would not like to look, I offer my services as a transcriber to describe it in depth for you. Whatever I can to make this awful lie McDonalds perpetuated to finally go away.

Imagine being West Point and knowing you’ve soiled a centuries old reputation as the factory where they make the best stuffy generals because a pedophile said an actor was too nice.

Elon Musk when an actual plague he may even believe to be an actual bioweapon spills into the schools and churches while the bodies pile up in the streets

Don’t worry Grossman. For every bootlicker that played Deus Ex and took the Illuminati or control endings there is at least one of us who took the insane “We’ll start again in villages!” ending just so none of the game’s rich psychopaths could win. And I promise my next playthrough of Dishonored will be an ACAB abattoir.

Don’t let the kind of guy DX was about stopping go on to define the past, please! That’s the exact kind consent fabricating bullshit the bad guys built Eliza, Icarus and Daedalus for in those games. We never asked for this.

The terrible title makes it seem like autistic people do not experience empathy. I would say there is a ten to one disparity in the capacity for empathy autistic people hold versus the capacity for empathy people are willing to demonstrate readily toward autistic people. Somebody brings up Republicans and that bothers you, here’s a thought: are you sure your country has a conservative element that isn’t following behind where American conservatives are leading with their increasingly openly eliminationist actions?

Its like the fact that A LARGE SUPERPOWER run by IRRATIONAL NAZIS might come up in your day to day life as regards the rights and dignities of minorities as you use this PLANETARY INFORMATION NETWORK.

Ohhh feddit.uk. My friend your LABOR party is practically synonymous with our conservatives at this point.

I stopped eating beef except once in awhile. I can’t eat chicken anymore at all because of how awful THAT industry is. But I have to say giving up cow milk for the number of alternatives there are was really, really easy and I would recommend. Milk is sugar juice for babies so we don’t need it anyway but the alternative is there.
