The thing that rankles fascist men is that they are genuinely worthless to most women.
Women is where their "you can just do things" mentality has run up against a stone cold brick wall.
Impeding women's autonomy is on the itinerary but it's the most perilous thing they have to do.
There is a "natalism" discourse in the far right spaces in response to people finding the child cute in Pragmata.
There are obvious white supremacist reasons why they want people having children but what's foremost in their mind is that they see children as a lever for men to control women.
Calling the black Spice Girl "Scary Spice" feels like the start of a Key & Peele sketch.
Youtube's AI flagged this video as "made for kids".

Boss "Aquarosa" from Star Fox Zero. Caption reads "There's no WAY you can beat us in the water. It's payback time!"
This thing is like a harder version of The Answerer from Armored Core: For Answer.

Ok so it turns out most of my issue with the controls is because my Wii U pad's gyroscope has a drift problem. It drifts slightly to the left.
I calibrated the Wii U pad's gyro while tilting it and this fixed the issue completely.
I now appreciate gyro controls a lot more.

Filmmaker: You shouldn't overanalyze everything in my movie. Just watch the movie, I made it so that everything you need to know is conveyed to you.
Audience: Ok.
*One watch later*
Audience: I don't get it.
Filmmaker: I can't believe how fucking stupid my audience is.
This one has a little more credibility because this was before Persona 3 came out.

I had to do one of these
Sleeping Dogs is a masterpiece and easily the best GTA-like ever made. I also do not think that it should get a sequel.
I felt completely satisfied after playing it and it accomplished everything it set out to do.
There's a tendency in our society to judge games' worthiness or love based on how many sequels it gets, or the likelihood to get a sequel. Like if a game is great, it should have a sequel right?
I don't think every game should get a sequel, even great ones. So let me say this...
But the stock Revolver can fire twice per second and deals 60 damage per shot. Hitting two shots is easier and more consistent than hitting headshots with the ambassador.
The real advantage of the ambassador back in the day was no damage falloff for crits but that's not true anymore.
After all of these years I've come to learn that the Ambassador in Team Fortress 2 is actually a scam.
Let's say you're a god among men who can hit headshots consistently with the Ambassador. But you have to wait 1 second in between each shot for accuracy and at max crit deals 102 damage.
In the mean time before Democrats get in power, nothing materially will change. The Republicans will still Republican.
At most you're only going to see a "crackdown on corruption" only for the times when money was seriously messed with because that interfered with the business of billionaires.
Then watch Trump admin officials get weirdly low sentencing or getting off scot-free all together. The whole "In 2029 we're jailing the Trump admin" thing will get quietly memory-holed.
This is a moment for us to "come together as a nation". Which is their code for "we're right wing, fuck you."
Trump is going to pull some extreme moves in his last days, democrats will condemn them but the moment the democrats have any kind of serious advantage they will flatten any radical left wing messaging to something moderate and palatable.
Like going from "abolish ICE" to "ICE reform."
If Trump is getting removed, pay close attention to the messaging from Democrats. If it is "return to normal" or "bring back unity", Democrats are pulling some bullshit.
It means they're going to seize upon Trump's collapse to push unpopular policy because they can launder it through Trump.
While the Trump admin is in collapse the US is going to be left weak in geopolitics, which will allow a lot of foreign rivals (Especially China and Russia) to move in.
What's especially worrisome, to me, is what Democrats are going to do. Trump getting removed is only a symbolic victory.
There's going to be some serious hesitation from congress to act on this because removing Trump from office would wake up all the right wing normies. The people who tune out of politics but only tune in when something big happens, like the President being removed. This would wake them tf up.
Is this the end of the road for Trump? Maybe, maybe not. Crises in the White House is nothing unusual and although I have seen no evidence that Trump can handle a crisis, it's not out of the question.
But here's what it means if the Trump admin actually collapses.
After a firing spree the Trump admin is having serious doubts about their own security. Pete Hegseth is making moves to protect his position by firing allies of a political rival and moving loyalists into key positions.
To say this is bad for Trump is an understatement.
Trump just told his staff that he's going to pardon everyone before leaving office.
This is big and not for the reason it seems at first. Is it an admission of crimes committed in office? Kind of. But it's actually more of a veiled threat.
Trump announced he will pre-emptively pardon every single person who works for him.
Which to me says there might be a loyalty crisis inside his circle.
If that's true, I wonder how long the republicans will allow it to go on for.
If Trump gets impeached, the messaging of abolishing ICE will get turned into "reform ICE" where they're going to pretend that they're dealing with the problems with ICE but really they're just being given more training and more funding.
The really sickening thing is that they're going to use Trump to launder all of their sins. They're going to pretend that with Trump gone the bad times are over.
Trump getting impeached would only be a symbolic victory.
Trump will almost certainly never be impeached, but I am worried about what would happen if he is impeached.
Please understand that the government approves of most of the bad shit that Trump does. At most you might see crackdown on corruption to protect the dollar.
The politics scene has been so strange and the noise has been so thick.
It's so hard to figure out what is true and what isn't.
