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.

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers.

After reading the full people mover grand jury report, I have drawn two conclusions. 1. It should be illegal for aspiring screenwriters to write a grand jury report, and 2. The contractors need to be fired into the fucking sun

I like how this looks and feels like a 90s music video

"Hahaha, Oh, how bad could it be?"

"How quick can we get to the bargaining table?"

I have lived in many countries and every single one is "just like us." The food, clothes, and traditions might be different, but every country is full of people who just want to live ordinary, peaceful lives and pursue their passions. And every single one has issues with terrible people in power.

Today is a good day to remember that Carl Sagan was as outspoken about the dangers of war and nuclear weapons as he was an advocate of space exploration.

Katie Porter tried to make a name for herself by calling HSR a boondoggle only to walk it back after she got put on blast. Afaik, Swalwell hasn't said much about it, but I won't count on him being particularly transit focused

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

I mean, hoping for a Deus Ex Machina to save us from our current condition is wishful thinking

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

What I really wish for is a remedial math class for students who want to try (me) and another remedial math class for students who don't care (like the students who shot silly string in my sophomore year algebra 2 class)

Looks good, enjoy!
