It’s odd how much things change and how much they stay the same. An interesting, difficult to notice language shift amongst kids is the complete absence of context for some pejorative uses of “gay.” For instance, the catchall rejection “no way, that’s gay” would elicit confusion first and possibly indignation after. However, other pejorative uses of “gay” still exist, for instance conflating homosexuality with femininity, with femininity having a negative connotation. It’s a partial extinction of meaning and I kinda love it.
All of that to say, the future is looking up in select ways and I’m all about those minuscule victories.
I’ve wondered whether that is sincerely the idea. Not sex slaves but simply outbreeding democrats and instilling culture war rhetoric. Handmaid’s tale eventually made manifest.
You’re likely right. I checked and it looks to have been both created and edited in 2021. Do you have any clue whether the practice you described was widespread at the time? (I know less than nothing about tiktok)

The first and only thing I think of when fight club is brought up is the big reveal. I rarely see a piece of media as anything other than a long narrative leading to a point, even shyamalan’s films being the spinning of a story rather than a twist with a story attached, but somehow fight club is its twist and little else to me.
A senior Ukrainian official hinted Monday that, despite Kremlin threats, Kyiv may have already begun using Western weapons to hit targets inside Russia....
Nuke Ukraine, the US, France, the UK, uhhhhhh Poland, the Netherlands, Finland, Madagascar but only the parts with coffee bean eating lemurs… the list of countries they haven’t suggested nuking is shorter.
A bike wheel with an open air center without visible spokes would necessarily have to impart momentum across the top or bottom of the wheel, rather than the center, otherwise the momentum wouldn’t have a medium to travel through. The simplest method would be powered wheels set in a semicircle above or below, with a matching unpowered pair on the opposite side of the spokeless wheel. Or the chain loops all the way around a wheel fully enclosed in a large load-bearing construct. It’d look futuristic. Someone get on it, I can only get high and offer engineering ideas so often.
The machine understood what they needed and supplied the cure. Two hundred years ago, “AI” was a blind woman in a yurt smoking a sweet substance from a long mixed wood and metal pipe, urging you to kill the reincarnation of vlad the impaler lest he take your spouse in the night. Frankly, AI is bringing us back to our roots.
They lose money for 5 years, establish AI use as mandatory to seem credible on the world stage, cause smaller businesses to spend money on a worthless resource in order to appear more successful, and win when those same smaller businesses begin folding, thus reducing competition, or win when they continue spending money on it. Regardless, AI will gradually become a norm and the companies that invested in it will have seen their investment come to fruition.
I mean, the issue is that the updates fix nothing of value and break mods in this decade old game. Passable update for console, “why did you even try?” on pc.
Bethesda offloads bug fixing to modders altogether too frequently to simply handwave modding as niche on PC. Over a decade on, comprehensive bug fixing mods are still amongst the most frequently downloaded files on nexusmods for Skyrim and even Fallout 4. They can’t have their cake and eat it too, and then complain that they urgently had to eat it.
Their actions don’t exist in a vacuum. Had they done this 5 years ago, it may have been received with confused appreciation, as it was with Skyrim. Now? After those mod creators have long since abandoned the game? It’s no longer welcome.
In a perfect world, Bethesda would produce a whole game and rely not on free labor but themselves to create something. They went the Reddit route, instead opting to do as little as possible until it was inconvenient or even actively antagonistic toward their audience. They cannot have their cake and eat it. Their company is as much their modders as their employees. But they didn’t rerelease it under another edition, so I guess I can compliment their finite capacity for greed.
If you solicit teams of vagrants to roam your restaurant, mending the walls and supports to prevent its imminent collapse, it’s a bit different. I’ve already given up on modders, their dysfunctions are as nonsensical to me as defending the company that takes advantage of and discards them.
“How’re you guys doing? Like mentally? Sending this many people to their deaths must have weighed on you. It’s difficult to adjudicate borders, so you place the fate of others in the hands of something separate from you. Something guiltless. At night, beside a comforting fire and lush with drinks, I imagine that you reassure one another of your innocence. ‘The traveler didn’t die because we sent them to their death, the puzzle killed them.’ That’s a hard way to live and I’m sorry that you have to live it.”
in unison “I’m doing alright.” A tear rolls down the cheek of the brother on the left. You’ve got him.
I don’t really understand the hype behind helldivers. To my eye, borderlands is essentially the same game but with greater variety, fewer hiccups, and a lower price.
I mean, more midnight club vs need for speed but I take your meaning. And yes, aside from the stories and one having significantly more content, they’re essentially the same game. I’d have said battlefront 2, but I don’t respect the remake and fishing out multiple ps2s to play online is preposterous.
Between swings of the arm, I question whether she does what she does out a desire to display republican ridiculousness in its rawest form. No real grandstanding, no duplicity, simply performance. Is it right to impart so much hate on a woman potentially offering the world’s most profoundly misunderstood satire? Then, as abruptly as the notion entered my mind, it vanishes as I continue flinging salt at her.
