when you think about it, taking the 5,000ft view, taking into consideration all of the gameplay changes from previous instalments, civilization vii is a tower defence game

woman gets caught shoplifting because she wasn’t being mindful. judge says she should have done dbt. “but judge,” she cries, “i can’t afford mental healthcare so i was shoplifting dbt workbooks”. “this says a lot about society” says judge. this is so sad like and comment if you agree!

ok so this is my gender

It’s so much more than “oh here is fake homework”

or “here is a fake influencer, saying propaganda”

that’s the little league of this shit

What’s going to happen when people have their own personal, on-demand artificiality? there will be versions worse than app sports betting, in impact

at a certain point we need to talk about how peter mandelson was the guy who vetted all of labour's new 2024 mps.

hi nine!!

The diet coke looks so much clearer and cleaner than anything else in this image that it genuinely feels like one of those mid-00s music videos with really blatant product placement

i was so excited about the original concept of fortnight before it became a battle royale

i do get you. for me it’s a little more contextual, but yeah. i don’t exactly care about fortnite

i did wonder if a dark souls-like invasion system could maintain that tension (and the plot sense that we are jackals scavenging where we aren’t welcome) in a less competitive environment?

i can honestly see the reasoning although i saw someone on YouTube make the argument yesterday that doing so would have stripped the game of its usp: the tension generated between players, the environment, and other players

real

I've seen a lot of this lately being used to attack Bella for agreeing with a Black trans woman

the rational response to learning of Epstein's 24/7 access to white-glove treatment from some of the world's best surgeons and medical practitioners is to conclude that privatized health care is a moral, ethical, and medical catastrophe. it's reasonable to call for the whole system to be rethought

ok you know what. just keep your heads buried under the sand i guess. i can't force anyone to care about people abusing me. i'm just going to go and accept my fate that i don't deserve to be here anymore and everything that happened to me was justified. the people have spoken and also stayed silent.

not only did he agree, he said downstream of these people are their kids, who he teaches, who are waaaay too comfortable saying stuff about immigrants etc. scratch a terf, find a fascist stays true

to quote myself talking to a cishet British centrist mate on the sports issue: “most of these people simply don’t have genuine-but-dumb concerns. they didn’t care about it before 2019 and they refuse to read the science, they just want to validate an icky feeling they have about the nasty t-slurs”

80% of TERFism boils down to people looking for a moral validation for them finding the idea of trans people (esp. trans women) a bit icky. The other 20% is manipulation by a paedophilic billionaire class doing fascist accelerationism, and it would never succeed without the 80% looking for a reason

to be fair, part of our media literacy problem is that a chunk of the US and UK middle-class liberal cohort (less so in Ireland, not an expert on Canada or outside the Anglosphere) are like marks at a carnival. They desperately want to be fooled, just for now, so they can have their biases coddled

no, she can’t read. she has been struck down by a terrible case of situational illiteracy, a tragic disease caused by exposure to information that doesn’t suit the narrative you have in your head. alas, the only hope for recovery is the application of willpower

Read the post I directly replied to: OP was doing a bad-faith interpretation of the fact that Bouie stans ignored a black trans woman criticising him to dogpile a white trans woman who replied agreeing with her. So this was pertinent to the discussion. Did you learn to read via the 3-cue system?

And if you want to defend someone from a perceived accusation of transphobia, you’re not making a great case if you use the coward’s they on a trans woman in the middle of your defence. Just a tip for next time you decide to tell a trans person what is and isn’t transphobic 🥰

“He works for a paper that normalises fascist opinions” and “he personally writes articles full-throatedly endorsing fascism” are not the same statement, although I see your confusion as the former does tend to eventually lead to the latter.

I said the NYT packages fascist talking points. This is a common opinion in the US. I’m not American & it looks worse from outside the MAGA-poisoned media bubble. I have my pronouns in bio. But since you couldn’t read my post I assume you can’t read my bio or the available criticism of the NYT

seems like the guy writing for the paper that exists to package fascist (primarily anti-immigrant & transphobic) talking points for middle-class white americans might take a dim view of people from the minority groups maga is targeting, regardless of his own background or publicly-stated beliefs
