I have a hard time considering these types of things proper games just because they’re only about “make numbers bigger faster.”

Also, the sheer number of these types of games which are all basically the same in terms of what they do kind of makes it just another one in a sea (pun intended) of these kinds of games.

They have just stolen the language of kindness and try to present their hatred as kind.

You completely missed the point that you are making good ugly people feel shame and like they’re being associated with these people because they were born unfortunate looking. Because your implication is that being evil actually impacts how you look, which further implies all ugly people are evil. The people I give a shit about in this situation are the people caught in the crossfire, I’m not here to save MAGA feelings, I’m here to save the feelings of people who have been shamed for being born with similarly unofortunate looks being shamed further by being told that if they’re ugly it must be because they’re evil inside.

But you do you.

You know this is really cruel and dismissive to kind, loving, wonderful people who happen to not measure up to social beauty standards.

There are beautiful evil people as well.

Yes, the MAGA cult is ugly but the only ugly that matters is the ugly inside, and MAGAs are ugly inside.

Literally everything the administration does is rape-coded.

“Oh, you don’t want these people in your city harassing your citizens and you’ve gone through the trouble of making laws with intent to enforce to prevent it from happening? Well then we’re just going to do what you don’t like even harder then!”

Literally everything is “oh people don’t like it well here’s more of it then since you don’t like it” when it comes to these asshats.

It’s way beyond “the cruelty is the point” by now.

I just thought it was interesting that someone could not know what a tracker was and also be, you know, using one.

By fleecing rubes it seems.

99% of my stuff from 1337x
what trackers even are

Meanwhile, me: Pirating since before Napster, has automated nothing at all, likes browsing private torrent trackers websites because it sort of makes me feel like I’m in Blockbuster video in the 90s walking the aisles and checking what’s available.

That’s because… It. Doesn’t. Exist.

It’s not elusive, it’s just fake. They still do all their business in other countries like the USA, they don’t actually have anyone hanging the fuck out in Panama. They just say it’s in another country because it’s a bunch of “oh well you can’t prove it doesn’t exist” malarkey every time. Panama is just one country that is very open to letting this happen.

They’re trying to bring back Welfare Queens. I’m sure almost everyone’s forgotten, but this was the kind of accusation that led to Welfare being viewed so negatively and eventually being renamed entirely.

There’s still a little time to get in at reasonable prices before they truly blow up and go insane. I’ve definitely started seeing increases such as a WD 8TB that went from $204.99 to $239.99 overnight after a short period of being out of stock. Depending on brand and size, some are still available at retail prices, but they’re quickly running out.

Don’t worry, Debord didn’t think he was either! He actually thought that his Situationist writing would be forgotten and that he would be remembered for his (ironically now forgotten) board game Kriegspiel. Instead Society of the Spectacle is now considered an important piece of French culture and history.

Always has been.

The Situationists even created new words to describe how radical ideas are co-opted by the mainstream in ways that reduce or outright removing radicalism from the ideas, making them more palatable for mainstream society. They called it recuperation. They also argued we needed to be doing the opposite, and taking the banal and making it radical, which they called détournement. This was often exemplified in the 80s/90s/early 2000s through subversion and revision of corporate advertising, often called “culture jamming.”

The PS5 DualSense is definitely the second-best choice if you can’t get a Steam controller. It has comparable features, although I personally feel like the touchpads are placed in suboptimal position compared to the Steam controller. It also has comparable build quality, unlike Microsoft’s various iterations of Xbox controllers that all have absolutely disastrous build quality.

To the shock of absolutely fucking no one. We’re officially at the “the rules are made up and the points don’t matter” part of the US decline.

Goblin mode makes its entrance

Jeeves apparently was classier than that all the way until the end.
