What was that sound? Did you hear that? Wait here, I’m going to see what it was.

“Newtype ability isn’t magic” is such a funny line to put in a trailer

ikke means icky

It’s pretty interesting that in English the word for “translate” (from one language to another) means moving from one place to another, but for example Chinese and Finnish use words relating to rotation instead, the opposite of translation. Do any languages use a metaphor for reflection or dilation for this?

This seems neat. Since I already looked into this, might as well post it here: The cheapest way to get the base game and the required DLC legally is through GOG, where they are on sale for ~16 units of currency, but pirating the GOG version seems like it would also work. No repack with the mod yet.

It’s just yet another way video game genres are a mess, there really should be a different name for games with an RPG story structure and games with an RPG stats and equipment system.

She is not even officially the nominee yet and has no platform, declaring unquestioning loyalty like that now is literally just supporting a genocide

I just hate having to dig the hole each time

I think this is part of a larger pattern, where being against oppression in the abstract but at the same time against concrete liberation, or dismissing the possibility of liberation out of hand, is the most natural form of ideology for the moderate part of the oppressor, at least in times of relatively stable struggle.

He tweeted it accidentally, he meant to set a reminder on his phone to tape the night’s episode of Sailor Moon

The article itself does not mention AI at all, it’s just something this guy made up. What is being prioritized is Taiwan’s semiconductor industry over food self-reliance, not “feeding people”. There is plenty to actually hate about AI stuff, why do these people feel the need to make things up?

Maybe Vanguard?

For so many of the bosses, the run that finally beat them didn’t really feel like I had mastered them, or even that it was a close fight, their AI just sort of decided not to do any of the hard attacks and just stood there being hit a lot. I don’t know what was up with that.

They should actually throw a real curve ball, and prove that we’re not red states and blue states but the United States, by nominating Donald Trump Jr.

There is an absolutely riveting debate happening on twitter about which way Superman would vote. Both sides just going “but Superman is a Good Guy, and we are the good guys also” at each other

This is what porn addiction is doing to our young men

Last night I woke up to write down a joke I had dreamed, and went back to sleep thinking it was absolute gold. Here is my interpretation of that joke:

It’s been a pretty good week to be a Jack Black hater. You’re next Weird Al

I think this is a matter of level of abstraction. It is quite possible to have a situation where individual oppressors (members of an oppressing group) do not personally deserve whatever violence, suppression, or appropriation of land and resources that is necessary for liberation. To effectively fight oppression we have to look beyond individual morality, and the results we get are not fully reducible back to a way to look at individual people.

This point of view, however, is unstable in our deeply individualist society, especially for any mass movement. Any possible movement for Palestinian liberation will have some misguided personal hatred of Israelis, beyond them being part of the oppressor, which has to be tolerated to a degree. This makes it especially critical to fight any antisemitism within the movement, even when it results in serious weaknesses.

No matter how good friends I become with people in real life, they never agree to help me make infiltration tools, it’s such bullshit
