Well, they didn’t drop a bunch of leaflets threatening residents to evacuate a chunk of L.A before firebombing hospitals and schools and doing target practice on ambulances yet…
But that could be where it’s heading if we don’t put a stop to it yesterday.
Now we need to decide in the case of collisions if:
The frustratingly comedic unintended results of any choice makes for great organic marketing though.
Gamedev is magical.
Aside: Know what did this really well though? Resident Evil games after RE:4.
The ability to “slowly quietly open”, and then at any time decide to violently action-hero kick it open to send a zombie on the other side flying, was genius.
Speaking truth when it could get your life ruined or sometimes even taken by the wicked and powerful will always be an act of bravery.
But I agree with you as well. It’s terrifying to be surprised when journalists speak the truth, and to see the suppression of truth become “normal” before our very eyes.
Haha yay, first time I got a “username checks out”! :D hahaha.
Reject predatory techbro products, return to monke! XD
I think the saddest part about this is the phenomenon where people who didn’t understand tech were scared of new stuff that was actually really neat and helpful…
…and nowadays they’re ridiculously trusting of shiny user-friendly corporate garbage that spies on them and manipulates them.
Excellent quote and deeply, tragically profound.
l’ve noticed the modern philosophizing kids have distilled this mentality down to the mocking phrase:
“One day I’ll get to be the one wearing the boot! :D”
I straight up told him it’s ridiculous and that he needs to get off the internet…
Which is especially crazy when I imagine I’m not the only one who was constantly told my personally developed views were influenced purely from “listening to all those liberals on the internet.”
Confirmation bias is a helluva drug, pops. :(
This mentality and reinforced culture is a big reason inhuman corporate ideals and customs have festered throughout our society like a fungal infection.
It’s so difficult to organize because plenty of fellow workers will simply be passive and complacent with whatever increasingly bad lot they’re given, or worse, will be straight up class traitors looking to be rewarded by ruthless masters.
I too, think this is a really dangerous one that hasn’t quite pinged on most peoples’ radar yet because it’s so niche, but like you said, when people with power and influence can actually act on it, they have the capacity to cause a lot of harm over what would normally just be fringe philosophies.
Whatever weapons and money everyone is sending Ukraine, double it.
Freaking truth.
Side thought purely as a hypothetical from a civilian standpoint: I’m wondering if it’s too paranoid to consider figuring out how to smoothly use Monero for sending donations.
I’m wondering if records of sending aid to Ukraine will be the newest excuse to get disappeared by goons in the US, the same way they’ve been crushing the Constitutional rights of anyone who prominently voices anti-zionist dissent.
Like all the hidden Saddam diagram memes but even better. Lol!
He said quite possibly the cringiest string of words of all time
I dunno there’s quite some contenders in the running, like “Amen, and a-women.” 😂
But it’s up there!

I’m at the point now where even if it’s “bad”, I have a great time if it felt like the people making the work were having a blast doing it. :D
That show is SO GOOD. I really love how well it depicts all these people in such a relatable way, and strips away so much dogma to show the humanity underneath. It’s beautifully done and really powerful. And…unexpectedly funny at times?
I love how it grounds us in such a relatable place, as all good historical drama does. It feels like it “wasn’t that long ago.”
I’m really not looking forward to the inevitable plot point. :(
Yeah, what you don’t see in all those pictures of gridlocked Los Angeles is the huge mass of bike races clogging the entire freeway just out of frame.
It’s a really embarrassing problem for the city, having a bunch of folks with jacked quads lookin’ like highlighters jamming their freeways and stroads.
Otherwise everyone could really hit the gas and go maybe 30 mph without a major collision incident!
(The internet is crazy so I must clarify this is intended to be delivered as satire.)
Holy crap that’s AWESOME.
I bet I wouldn’t be the only one who couldn’t resist shouting
“THAT ONE’S FOR BOROMIR!!!”
Lol
Excellent point.
Furthermore, especially in the U.S, ballistic tactical eyewear is readily available at a ton of surpluses. Civilians have access to protective equipment that they should be taking advantage of.
Paintballers and airsofters wear them all the time because the extra price for real-world protection (edit: as in tactical vs. ‘recreational gear’) is worthwhile when it comes to your vision and freakishly chaotic ballistics.
Protests are a form of combat. Come dressed for the occasion.
