"This is an important thing to think about."

What if we just both got worse in the same direction :D

Sometimes I wonder if some of the absolutely shithole people I've known in the past have grown or changed in any way.

Then I realize that they probably haven't, people don't really change, and they're surrounded by other shithole people who reward their behavior.

And I've gotten far, far worse.

You could ask a cis person "Were you born in a pink dress? Did your body force you to cook and clean? Did Barbie dolls spontaneously emerge from nothingness?" and they would never, ever even connect that a person, another human being, somewhere, did those things TO them.

It should be so, so easy to tell someone "Hey, like, the idea that pink things are girly is MADE UP. Nothing in nature enforces this AT ALL, so why are GIRL THINGS seen as pink and weaker by society"

But then they just don't absorb that or take it in at all and they go "But there's M/F on forms."

SO MANY CIS PEOPLE have just been told "You are male," and they just, stop. They don't analyze that. They don't have anything to process. They don't understand what it means to them. They just take it, they accept it, and they try to enforce it on everyone else.

My sister and I were talking about this recently - most people, a shocking number, a MAJORITY of people, we believe, don't "think" about anything. They don't analyze anything. They don't take in information, process it, break it down, consume it, and internalize it.

They just go "OK" and move on.

All Vtubers are a harem anime, the fine print is just in your definition of "harem."

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.

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬

This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

The three sub-genres of vampire anime:

1. Haha vampires are so quirky and drink tomato juice!
2. This is just a harem anime
3. Oh God everyone's dead

Very true...

I want to watch more anime with strong female protagonists where the strong female protagonist isn't posed opposite the world being completely destroyed, the horrors of society, or how everyone's just gonna die because...what, women heroes can't succeed?

First, basically no indie development studios are building PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE into their video games. They just aren't. No indie studio has to add end of life support, because their games don't intentionally die.

Second, FUCK corporations. FUCK their profits. FUCK them designing games that die.

Y'know, for everyone who argues about the whole "It would be unfeasible for game devs to add long-term end of life support to games"

Let me tell you how absolutely pussywhipped you are by capitalism. Let me express what a fucking bootlicker you are. OH NO, WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CORPORATIONS?!

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

I hope you get the toy you want from your next Happy Meal.

This entire era of the PSX where they were trying to do ultra realistic 3D models and backgrounds is so absolutely ingrained in my feelings. Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy 8, Metal Gear Solid...

furry porn commissions are down

Lol. Lmao even.

"Hey person, I saw you talking about that thing you like. I also like that thing, wanna talk about how cool it is?"

"Oh, I didn't mean I wanted to talk about that thing, I only talk about that thing with my incredibly insular friend group."

"Ah, so you're just an asshole then."

Infograph about censorship. It compares it to magnets.

Sorted my thoughts about censorship, so I can stop thinking about it.

here's your yearly reminder jay naylor is furry's biggest practicing nazi artist. stop giving him money, fucks sake

Modern day captcha will pop up presenting you with the most AI-generated horrors you've ever seen and be like "Pick every chair."

Man, there's gonna be a period of really awkward Civ style games where America no longer gets bonuses to things like stability, aerospace control, or technology because we are now, historically, not leading in any of those things.

Hans Zimmer is a transphobe. A tweet reads "I worked for him. I did good work that he praised, but after transitioned he quickly had me fired. He had cue notes named "tr*nnv fight"' etc etc... It's a pattern of abuse that will inevitably come out over time, and I'm glad that the industry is changing slowly."

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.
