  • Not exactly the same but I just went to Amazon to reorder my coffee as I’m getting low and for whatever absolutely bat shit insane reason they decided to double the price in just a handful of weeks… So fuck that. Now I have to find something else. :/


  • It’s not so much that it’s treated as “zero urgency” from Democrats, but rather Democrats don’t embrace a king “unitary executive” theory that Republicans do. So when Trump wins the Republicans accept that he can push through whatever he (read: the heritage foundation) wants, it’s a big part of project 2025.

    If Democrats win they play by the system that exists, which is: we want something, Republicans say “go fucking die you communist piece of shit” and nothing happens because we don’t have a majority. If we end up with a 50/50 split then Joe Manchild and Self-centered Scinema say “go fucking die you communist piece of shit” and nothing happens because we don’t have a supermajority and they refuse to help kill the filibuster because they’re paid to be Republicans in the Democratic party. This is why the only thing we’ve accomplished through Congress in the last like 20 fucking years is a goddamn Republican healthcare system (Obamacare is Romneycare) because we had enough of a majority for something like 3 months…





  • Bombing other people isn’t fucking self defense…

    I have no issues with funding actual defense mechanisms like the iron dome and whatever. Small munitions, bulletproof vests, whatever you need to DEFEND your citizens I’m cool with. When it turns outward and you start “military operations” against other countries that’s when I say good fucking luck on your own.









  • I know it was funky in its initial release, but I miss when openAI had free api access so a bunch of games temporarily had chat with NPCs. It was really cool.

    Spacebourne 2 had an AI ship computer you could ask questions or whatever. Craftopia had all NPCs and monsters with chat capabilities which was kinda hilarious because a goblin that’s attacking you would tell you it’s peaceful and would never hurt anyone lol

    It’s one thing I’ve wanted forever to be in a video game, the ability to communicate what I want to communicate and to get dynamic responses, not just some dialogue wheel or whatever


  • “Miller was to be executed in September 2022 via lethal injection, but it was called off after officials had trouble inserting an intravenous line to administer the fatal drugs and were concerned they would not be able to do so before the death warrant expired.”

    Shouldn’t this be considered “cruel and unusual punishment?”

    “We’re killing you now. This is the end for you. Here comes the needle. Actually wait, nevermind, go back to your cell and wait another few years.”

    I guess they would argue that it wasn’t intentional?




  • Unfortunately what I really think is happening/happened with “woke hate” is manipulation for political gain as you mentioned with propaganda.

    These people couldn’t care less before, other than the religious zealots that would crusade against anything “gay.” The political right (I really believe this started in earnest in the US) found a pressure point to use that puts them in direct opposition to what their political adversary aims to achieve (acceptance of all people for who they are). As it stands in the US the right operates almost entirely based off of “whatever the left aims for, make it appear evil. Always oppose all that they do.” as opposed to having specific goals of their own other than “shower the wealthy with benefits, remove all barriers to retaining the entirety of profits.”

    Steve Bannon recently aimed their manipulation at what he described as “rootless white men” through the lense of gaming and societys affect on games/movies. Ever since that started there’s been an “explosion” of “this game woke?” discussions in Steam discussion fourms and in regard to movies. Before this manipulation these people just wouldn’t care and if anything you’d just see the odd person here or there complain about 2 guys kissing in a specific scene or something. They are made to be even more angry now because they’re made to believe it’s an affront to them and an attempt to manipulate them and society… Which is “funny” because they are being manipulated, just not by gaming/movie media.
