There is, sadly, a lot of people who are supposed to be involved in removing assholes from that position of power, who care more about their own power, their wealth, and how to get more of both, than actually care about doing their damned jobs.

Removal of the head diplomat & executor of laws (the President) is supposed to be what the impeachment process (started by the House, which is supposed to be answerable to the people), and later the 25th Amendment by the president's cabinet, is for here. But both groups often decide on party lines.

Of course no one picked the dessert options as a weapon. They'd be fighting with spoons and forks, empty glasses, and sauce-smeared/crumb-covered plates... because there wouldn't be any desserts left to levy as options. *nodnods*

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.

We had an attempt at live action Ferngully. They filed the serial numbers off and called it Avatar (the one with the blue cat aliens).
We don't need another.

The original pair is nice, but I like this pair more because I favor blue colors.

fun fact: the LRG tomba rerelease on steam runs off of PCSX-Rearmed, which uses GPLv2 licensing, requiring them to provide the source code for anything built on top of it. they eventually did this - a full year after release, and only under public duress

Hey folks, hold off on buying Sigma Star Saga DX until we can figure out if or why their PC release has code stolen from mGBA in it.

I have every reason to believe WayForward was screwed by an unscrupulous vendor, but we have to stand behind our preservationists and emu devs on this one.

Sharing again.

Genuinely, if you have the extension and think: "oh, but I don't use those! I didn't enable them!" Check again... they add them without telling you.

Stop using Tangia. They hate artists.

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

Hello jank fans. It was brought to our attention that half of BBG 2025 was missing from our Youtube channel. It was there but Youtube decided it was too janky and hid most of the VODs.

Fortunately we're not about to let being too jank for Youtube stop us. This has been fixed, so enjoy!

If you let them ban porn, they will call you pornographic when they ban you.

IMO its not a lack of hobbies thats the problem, its that every hobby is now a GIG. That thing you do for fun? Well monetize it, run a tiktok, take commissions, get that 2nd or 3rd source of income going on top of your 9-5. The things that we once did for joy are now part of our survival

A series of three tweets:

Rabbi Akiva Weisinger

1)

For those wondering why I, an Orthodox Rabbi, am outraged by the Texas trans law, aren't I supposed to stand up for Torah Values or whatever A thread:

2)

I don't like it when kids kill themselves.

3)

 End of thread.

It makes the party berserk, regardless of who uses it, at least in FF5. So apparently the party really hates the sound of the moon flute too.

As a franchise, Dragon Quest is lord of "the Yes/No prompt is a formality, you *will* agree to progress the story." but it is nice to see the option for going "nah, I don't want to progress the plot" some times.
