I'd be happy to trade my Pelipper if that was an option lol. (I'll care about rain teams when they put my dear Ludicolo into rotation)

I've honestly really enjoyed Mega Frosslass, but I think a week in people have gotten really wise about how to shut her down.

Wild! Thanks for the context

I do recall the nightmare which was trying to determine if and when Cartoon Network would actually air an episode. So, I can imagine I easily chalked that one up to just networking weirdness.

I was pretty tapped into the YJ fandom at that time, and I completely missed this theory.

User dratsab huffman asks the question:

To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism".

Anyway, ive noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesnt believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

Recalcitrant Jester replies:
Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score—the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental—the ludonarrative theme—is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!”
Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?”
Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.”
Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”

I love all genders🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
Because I have no gender.
Especially right now, transgender people are living with a lot of anxiety.

Why are transgender people not allowed to freely love the people they want to love?
Why can't transgender individuals live their lives with the soul they prefer?

Are you saying AI art is trash?

Oh no, no, that's the human putting prompt into the - uh - art bucket.

I forget the name, but this is definitely part of that trend of using natural imagery and words to make tech feel less *techy* ("the cloud" for data centers).

AI hides behind the iconography of magic, might I suggest 🚮 instead.

They can keep their fancy gradient too

Arizona Rep. Adelita Grijalva “characterized the overcrowding as a ‘humanitarian crisis’ and said it appears ICE is shuffling detainees from one overcrowded facility to another.”

"ICE is playing whac-a-mole with human lives,” she wrote. "This is disgustingly cruel and inhumane.”

truly a useless technology

This is such a disturbing example of how technology can distort and amplify abusive behavior. It reminds me of how victims are often labeled hysterical and have their body language analyzed by pseudo-experts. Now these tactics are being replicated by a biased chatbot people pretend is an authority

He told ChatGPT he was a nazі іncel who wanted to dіe, then asked how many people you’d have to shoot at his school to get on the news. ChatGPT helped him pick his ammo, pick his target, pick the best time for the massacre, and then told him how to use the gun. Then he did.
