No clue who that is and what other takes they've had, but that post just seems obviously correct?

Bad end fairy tale that still ends with the phrase "Happily ever after"

And so, the hero fell before the evil Queen and was made her obedient plaything and princess consort and they all lived happy ever after.

Based. It's hotter if despite it being utterly violating and non-consensual they're still happy.

3d6 roll under is ofc what I mostly use as a GURPS player and it's quite good, but honestly what's the most fun imo are dice pools (still preferably d6), and occasionally explosive dice (though I prefer them as something only situationally there). Honourable mention to percentile having convenience.

One thing that radicalized me on this was following golden rice, as a friend of mine was working on it in the 00s. People in the Philippines destroyed a trial crop because of propaganda from rich countries with no vitamin A deficiencies, especially from Greenpeace and existing grain producers.

I read that as "alt night" at first and thought it was a weird joke. Idk if the sleep deprivation this week was part of the reason.

I am just blocking every idiot who feels the need to reply with a "correction" referring to the DoW as DoD on a post talking about the war crimes it's committing. If you think that is the fucking point you are just truly stupid. Not like they rebranded themselves to department of peace.

he can be beaten but when beaten must be destroyed

The options are insane fascism, massive restructuring into basically a different state to ensure functional democracy, or an unstable mess potentially involving civil war. You have to hope and work for the second, not just "back to normal" as if the normal wasn't broken already and led to this.

This is blueskyism to me

We all know that the Indian Empire was established shortly after the end of the Cretaceous by by early stem-primates, so it's clearly most accurate there.
(I do actually vastly prefer when sources clearly state "in the area that now is" because the nations are obviously way younger, but uh, lol)

Non-exhaustive ofc.

Death to America. Death to Russia. Death to China. Death to Israel. Death to India. Death to Germany. Death to Britain. Death to Hungary. Death to Europe. Death to Canada. Death to France. Death to Japan. Death to the Emirates. Death to Australia. Death to Saudi Arabia. Death to the Vatican.

Death to all states.

That Techno-Pessimists one was really overdone, I actually know plenty of people who talk about the potential of LLMs a bunch and still ended up on it at some point.
The political ones I'm on are really random with 20 buzzwords; there is also one for "genuinely bad people" for liking a videogame.

EU and UK demand Israel stop surge in West Bank settler violence Six Palestinians have been killed during attacks by settlers in the West Bank since the start of Israel's war, the UN says.

The European Union and United Kingdom, which have largely done nothing at all to hold Israel to account and swear off ever doing anything to hold Israel to account, demand that Israel stop its land theft in the West Bank, or else the EU and UK will do nothing some more.

as dumb as it sounds from an anarchist, there is admittedly some point in early nationalism in Germany being mostly liberal, comparatively democratic and progressive opposed to long-enduring feudalist elements... But uhm it is very much a point that proves that can lead to authoritarianism easily.

Cultural appropriation is, to an extent, just kind of inherent to any interaction and evolution. Obviously uh, you should not be shitty and reductive, and actually legitimately appreciate other people. But being scared to use anything not fully native to your culture is kind of dumb.

This is why you shouldn't use ChatGPT.

It's actually not very unusual or all that heavily socially frowned upon for people to watch snuff videos. They're called war footage.

“Christianity is when Greek-speaking Romans become Judaism Weebs” is reductive, but not exactly wrong.

that implies it's not inevitable whatsoever, can go in the opposite direction, and just gets treated as something overly broad as a meme.
(but also is still a pretty common tendency that is real)

The problem for America with being a cultural hedgemon is that everyone else understands Americans on a level that you would otherwise need a PhD in cultural studies to attain

xkcd 2347, but edited by me to say "All post-WWII popular culture" for the mass of things built on the shaky foundation and "Lax enforcement of copyright law" for the critical single piece of that foundation that, if removed, would topple the whole thing

what I wish I could scream whenever I see artists clamouring to extend the scope of copyright and enforce it harder, be it to stop AI or for any other reason

It's just an extremely inconsistent mess tbh. Arbitrary as fuck.
