Age appropriate? I mean it barely gets raunchy I have no concept of a child appropriate filter regarding when it is okay for them to hear “asswipe” aloud, I should stay out of that. I think introducing a child to Diablo style loot mechanics over repetitive gameplay isn’t much better than introducing them to League of Legends.

I think his analysis of fascism specifically is a lot more incisive than Verhoeven’s. I have this problem of not being able to recommend things to people properly, because it feels like just restating the points made in a text, but in a lamer voice. The Destruction of Reason is also straight fire. I really don’t think the psychological profiling or media analysis of fascist figures or media is helpful. It’s obscuring the historical emergence and progression of fascism in its different forms.

I feel so bad for people in my industry who are not leaving the USA. Until I talk to them and they dismiss other options haughtily.

They have a lot of instances in those lists which are deprecated, I’d check the projects’ respective github pages for new ones. For instance Nitter only has poast.org and privacydev.net

Now go read George Jackson’s Blood In My Eye for a real trip

It’s a pretty serious historical investigation. I’m not an actual historian, I can only gesture to the words of world systems theorists. I just do takes and book reports for now. Not a real Marxist.

Quick LAUNCH THE ORBITAL MINEFIELD (this is a joke about what starlink already is)

Hey any particular reason why the Patrons’ money is going towards making shows with Konstantin Syomin, who repudiates the resistance against Zionism as an imperial catspaw of Iran? Oh, what’s that? You didn’t know Iran is imperialist. Silly billy, you haven’t been reading Konstantin Syomin’s work. Time to talk about Maduro’s imperialism, my friends! Thanks for your donations!

No matter how many epic dystopia simulators people make, the same thing will happen.

Epic

Not a lot of roguelikes with an actual sound mechanic. It’s really rough and lacks rooms or “vaults” as DCSS community calls them but I think it could be a great game if he keeps plinking away

Even if settler-colonialism was common throughout the ancient world, that doesn’t excuse it happening today

It’s important to make a distinction between the “imperialism” of the Roman empire and the 20th century imperialist structure which coalesced in the 20s-60s, likewise we must distinguish between the existence of torture throughout history (often tenuously supported by Victorian hobnobbing and the ability to make a shitty little website that shows up on Google and little else) and the trail of forensic evidence we have stretching back from the SBU’s detention centers where they electrocuted babushkas thru the kidneys (I’m not kidding) all the way to Malaysia

European colonialism is an entirely new phase of history that began 1000 years ago.

Yes, it’s time to really start digging thru the old techno

Anime is 99% fascists playing with dolls and 1% cool psychic babies exploding when it should be the opposite

Also people seem to have been posting The Prodigy a shitton for some reason idk maybe programmers finally remembered they can turn to old music for healing

Colonialism is how we got capitalism developed as a mode of production, consuming others in the historic centers of human civilization. Spread from Europe into West Asia, India, and China. A millenium ago, so recently rly

I’m playing octopode hunter transitioning into a chei wizard and this is actually off the hook

Just went hunter for the dex mainly, ultimately I am ending up a battlemage ish thing

Fuck in-ear. You don’t even want a Q tip in there. I’ve been babying my dermatologist related stuff for a year and I always feel amazing. No weird hearing issues ever and the fake tinnitus is gone. Be careful with in-ear.

/s means serious post. Take those posts at face value

Same energy as Verhoeven being bowled over with surprise that people didn’t understand the subtext that people being able to be nude coeds without lasciviousness going on meant everyone was Hitler

The importance of specific ideology to fascism is rly overstated
