Cats always fit in their own way. Even if there are other, easier, even better ways to fit they will always chose the cat way.

Haven’t had the chance to play DD but that’s why I love both roguelikes and TTRPGs. My experience with roguelikes is actually best summed up by pChal’s Run & Bun video (youtu.be/JzD9Uc7bRK0?...) while TTRPGs just… hit different

There’s a lot of them in the eastern half of my home state and they’re all parasites. All of them. Their mindset can be boiled down to “I don’t need to be able to sustainably support myself post-apocalypse, I just need to be able to steal other people’s shit because that’s easier.”

Bear in mind that the fall of [insert empire here] generally didn’t happen overnight or even quickly on a human scale. Sometimes entire generations (yes plural) spent their whole lives watching things slowly collapse around them. The US has been falling apart for a good 45 years now.

A lot of the finger-wagging I see comes from people pointing out that they’re going through this too but as a member of Gen Z I feel obligated to point out that *we and Millennials have never known anything but this.* Less true for the Millennials but still. We don’t have trauma we are trauma.

Honestly I think that if they do have kids they either hate them or don’t see them as people but rather as sources of vicarious success

Molotov-Ribbentrop except it’s somehow both more expansionist and less strategically viable

And yes, the third one still isn’t drivable after those 6 months, it would cost me almost as much to make it driveable as the Leaf is costing me up front

And hopefully this one won’t
1. Cost all four limbs in gas and get totaled by cosmetic damage
2. Cost two limbs in gas and get totaled by my cousin
3. Start having major problems in the first week, devour 80% of my savings, and spend 6 months in the dealership while they dodge my calls

“I expected to lose” then why did you funnel millions of dollars into it Leon
Seriously the only way for that tweet to be cogent with reality is if he knew and accepted how toxic his presence is and decided he *wanted* the GOP to lose that race. Which is the exact opposite of his entire personality

I mean I’d disagree. Creating a genuinely sapient AI should just be recognized as similar to raising a child, which should immediately disqualify every single tech bro out there. With that said all AI research should probably wait until we’re post-capitalism because… *gestures at ChatGPT* …that.

No but see if you aren’t reinventing fundamentalist Evangelical Christianity from absolute scratch are you really even living?

30/ fundamentalism in any form, and that even as a philosophical naturalist I recognize the inability of science to disprove the supernatural; people claiming it does are no different from those claiming their holy book does the opposite. If that makes me a fool to you then so be it.

29/ result of literal millennia of oppression and victimhood. The victim of abuse has come to accept the inevitability of abuse and has chosen to be the abuser rather than continue being the victim, perpetuating the cycle they had the opportunity to stop.
All this to say that I do not condone

28/ to which Judaism matters in Israel’s atrocities is the fact that the country was created, at least in part, on the idea that Jews could only ever be safe in a Jewish ethnostate. All, and I do mean all, of Israel’s “distinct” problems come from it being an ethnostate, and that status is the end

27/ excuse would just see them pivot to another, like saying that Palestinians aren’t actually a distinct culture or simply voicing their fear that a genocide is inevitable and they’d rather be the ones doing it (“they want to wipe us out so we’re doing what we have to to survive”). The only degree

26/ any more than an abusive parent who quotes “spare the rod and spoil the child” is motivated by religion; it’s just a convenient excuse, and as we’ve seen with many other atrocities, religion is hardly the only option on the “justification for doing horrible things” shelf. Taking away that one

25/ and I’ll say it again; Israel in its current state is a manifestation of the cycle of abuse on a geopolitical level. Oh, sure, there are people who use religious justifications for its existence and behavior. But that’s all they are: justifications. Israel’s actions aren’t motivated by religion

24/ real damn clear that “getting rid of religion” doesn’t include getting rid of all cultural practices that have even a hint of spirituality to them, you’re being not just antisemitic, but also hostile to every other culture with spiritualized rituals.
And now we get to Israel. I’ve said it before

23/ point is that we of the majority tend to be blind to our own cultural trappings and see them as “normal,” or the ‘absence of culture’ (much like how whiteness tends to be perceived as the ‘absence of race’). Judaism is as much (and for many, more) cultural as it is spiritual, and unless you’re

22/ the honor of having been invited to a Seder and to two Chanukah celebrations. These rituals are part of Jewish culture, the same way that Thanksgiving (whatever its problems) is part of American culture (and Canadian, in a different form). That’s not to say that it’s a 1:1 comparison, but the

21/ to eradicate religion, or to institute it universally; what we need is pluralism and tolerance for all but the intolerant, whichever direction that intolerance might go.
And finally, on the matter of Judaism and Israel. I have several Jewish friends of varying religious attitudes; I’ve even had
