    This is stupid as fuck. I mean, electoral ism is a doomed experiment. But that’s…not how creating laws works. You can’t just create laws against one of the parties in control of a chamber. Not to mention, project redmap was proven to be a threat, and it led us to exactly where we are today. If you can’t figure out by now that Republican power grab plans are dangerous, well, then there’s no hope for you.



  • Right? You stopped doing something because a bunch of high schoolers think it’s cringe?

    It’s weird, companies have always let young people dictate culture for money reasons, but I’ve never really thought about it being adults scared of what kids think. Like…have some personality? Have some kind of sense of who you are and what you like. Fuck what kids think about unimportant trends. We should listen to them when it comes to social issues, because that’s just called progress. But this just strikes me as such a weird way to think.





  • Interestingly, a lot of what you saw in the media dictated liberal responses to it. The Democratic and Republican takes are so driven by the tv news. So, you got a crash course in the root cause of a lot of stupid liberal takes. Though, I will say, maybe where you are the liberals are this backwards, but in the US—I mean…they still got some stupid statist takes, but I would strike a few of these. Liberals were mostly supportive. In fact, the George Floyd protests radicalized some liberals I know.

    They are still scared statists at heart, but I think a lot more of these are conservative takes than liberal takes. US Liberals are more the “ease off the gas” crowd and the “if you care so much, vote” crowd. Not so much the “protesters are mad they lost the election” and “police repression is A-OK” crowd.



  • I mean, I’m all for it. I’d be one of those people spending money on the online RDR2 if it were better. If they kept adding missions and story arcs to the campaign, I’d buy every one. But I honestly think gta V changed that company, in more recent years, even. It’s continued making absurd money. It’s literally The most profitable piece of media ever made.

    Take Two probably kept winnowing down staff on other titles to bring them into the GTA team, whether that be 5 or 6. I don’t have proof of that, but it feels surprising they would be focusing on anything else after they got RDR 2 to market. I mean, look how bad the online game was initially. And it’s still pretty bad. They did update it a good amount (or so I’m told, I wasn’t around for the beginning. Playing RDR2 in the last two years literally made me a gamer. I’ve spent countless hours playing and replaying that campaign. And it still gets to me. So well written.) I actually just dropped replaying that campaign in the past few months to play Cyberpunk. Which I’m really enjoying, actually.

    I’m just saying, they’ve made a lot of shitty moves as a company since 2018. I just wouldn’t be surprised if their entire focus is on GTAV online and GTAVI.





  • I bet you it’s one of those “silver” things they claim is the real money. Like how they give little silver bricks? Maybe some strange corner of the sovcit world started producing “real” “money” with this “silver” stuff, stamped into a coin shape for these sovcits to scream about when no one accepts it as currency.






  • …how are you guys not getting that that is my exact point? If this election it’s on the ballot, it’s always been on the ballot. Everyone youve ever voted into office has had their hands in the Israel shit bucket. Our support is not new. What they’re doing the Palestinians is not new. You guys just weren’t paying attention to it before. The tweet implies 8 years ago we didn’t have these problems…but we did. Because everyone you’ve ever voted into office has blood on their hands. The choice is no different this election than it was 8, 12, 16, 24 etc years ago. The only new addition is the overt fascist.

    A bunch of grocery stores have also eliminated the “bagger” job, leaving you to do it yourself, but then also ask for a tip! Store cut costs by paying their employees shit, heaping more work on them, and then asking you to give their poor ass employees some money. Give them the money you saved on eliminating the bag people!
