I’d recommend assassination, in Minecraft. If you’re leaving the server and everything is fucked then do one for the team and cause some heads to roll, in Minecraft. The right used violence and it led to the presidency. A coup was rewarded. Let’s take some notes.

Reminds me of the aesthetics on toys/candy from other countries, but much more polished.

Look at the sports with systemic ad presence vs sports where it’s all “grass roots.” (The grass roots ones are mostly gone.)

Most top sports are incredibly expensive to keep running and the ones that become infested with ads are the ones that stick around for us to enjoy. If you follow less popular sports you’ll consider yourself lucky to bring in ads and sponsors.

I can barely run steam and the games I bought on steam at the same time, which is required for most games. Steam disabled certain features and bloated the software – their launcher takes more resources than actual games. AAA games. (From a decade ago, but still.)

Other launchers might be garbage but the bar seems to be pretty low. Only thing anyone can say is “get a better computer” because in their mind that is a great rebuttal to “why is a game tied to a launcher which takes up 4x as many resources as my entire OS?”

My favorite part of Transformers was when my government had the script changed to include Marines being heroic in a movie about giant alien robots. We really needed good PR after that whole Afghanistan and Iraq thing.

By the end of the article they’ve framed much of this as being pro-Hamas / anti-Israel when a collaborative encyclopedia was seemingly worried about appearing neutral.

There’s enough there to have a good argument about sources and consistent wording but the article keeps highlighting people who think it’s purely political and even that people probably didn’t read the issue, they just wanted to be pro or anti Israel.

There’s still a lot of people who call this a genocide because they feel / think it’s a genocide, not because they’re on a side. Having consistent wording is important because you should be able to speak the truth and still feel whatever you felt… it’s not about hating Israel. I guess the beginning of the article sort of captures that mindset.

It’s like an old 100 yo trend of writing headlines except it has gotten much more “slam”-filled. Crash blossoms / headlinese has evolved over time.

If you smoke weed you’re more likely to wear converse. It’s aesthetics. When someone says they’re anti abortion I usually see it as aesthetics. They want others to see them as being anti abortion. That’s what they get out of it.

It isn’t a literal belief. Democrats reduce abortions, much better than cons. Being anti abortion should mean voting for Democrats… IF you were still taking things literally. It’s not misinformation or lack of education, it’s misaligned priorities.

They’re just trying to be a tribe and signal allegiance. To have literal beliefs that you live by regardless of “your side” is a completely different game to what they’re playing.

At the very least it would balance out the stream of reports of Israel bombing / shooting yet another journalist / American / medic / humanitarian.

There can’t seriously be respectable, noteworthy people in Russia saying that banning Discord is a mistake because it helps the Russian military. That’s bizzaro world stuff even for them.

Not understanding what a person means and thinking that means they’re a bot? That is reddit shit, I’ll give you that.

Whitlam was a PM who opposed the US and was immediately ousted in a brazen display of “we own you.” Hence, a joke about the man in Slovakia being ousted for opposing NATO aspirations.

The terrorism tweet:

“History is only written with the blood of such people — to tell the stories of those martyrs who made history, built nations and brought about glory. Their blood is the lifeline of our faith until the day of judgment. May you rest in peace.”

Crazy how tame this messaging seems living around Christians / GOP.

A hidden device implanted on our cortex at birth should detonate when we suggest something like “We should let corporations solve global warming.”

The list is compiled by the MPA, a group that represents studios, etc. They work with our government, and to which degree I have no concrete idea, (edit: a trade association is supposed to work with governments on behalf of it’s members) but they merely submitted this list to our government. That’s according to the article and the torrent freak source.

I think the article wasn’t being clear and other comments seem to agree.

I think “end of history” is a bigger deal than hysteria or overreactions. People should be more concerned with things like climate change, fascism, capitalism, or systemic inequality. A lot of people have this thing in the back of their mind where they “know” nothing will ever change, and it poisons the way they think of the world over time.

Nice, killed a big terrorist. Also created a few hundred, maybe even a few more big terrorists, but you got this one.

They’re still figuring out the internet

It’s using old techniques from Chinese history and applying them in a new way. Ai had to experiment and go through a lot of failure to produce such a different object. I don’t think the cube wireframe was important, just the old method being used to make a modern art piece.

I like the idea of reinvigorating ancient crafting techniques by making modern art. I’m not exactly an art guy so I don’t know if it’s a unique idea but it made me think so I like it.
