PolyethylenePt2 [he/him]

Looking through the replies just to see this ghoul get dunked on, but the “dunking” consists of Americans whining about how he’s “destroying the country” and “letting foreigners in”

Consulting the made up Chuck Schumer in my head and asking what he would do

The marketplace of ideas, everyone

My hypothesis is that this is because they co-opted a lot of the civil rights movement to elevate some vague sense of “nonviolent protest” to the pinnacle of political action. Obviously this applies to more things, but calling your representative is just the peak of lib action.

Everything I say is going to be entirely vibes-based, but I feel like what the education system here taught about civil rights was a lot of “Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and MLK led nonviolent protests and did that one speech and the nonviolent protests were so effective in the marketplace of ideas that we ended racism (oh and btw MLK was a moderate who would agree with Republicans today ).” Now libs basically think any action where you make a lot of noise without any material consequences is the best way to create change because everyone’s a rational actor who will always choose the good ideas as long as you put the idea out there and “look!! it worked in the 60s!!” Couple this with the belief that we actually live in a democracy where the government will “listen to the people” and you’ll get people calling their representatives and sending strongly worded letters

Thanks! I’ve only dressed up a few times before for conventions and other cosplay events but people have gone up to me and complimented me on my cosplay and it’s a very nice feeling

Dressing up as Ralsei (specifically the mafia Ralsei that’s in my profile pic)

If you had shown me a few years ago a story about a corporation that makes its money by making the Evil Machine That Destroys The World That Also Sucks At Its Job and capitalizing on the loneliness and suffering of people who feel they have nowhere else to go, I would have thought its message was a little too in-your-face. Everything about this sucks.

I don’t know what kind of face Asmongold is going for here but it pisses me off

Decided to try this with a cursory search of some other companies (using 2024 stats and the net income from this website):

• Walmart - 15.511B/2.1M = $7386
• Apple - 93.736B/164,000 = $571341.46
• Amazon - 59.248B/1,556,000 = $38077.12

Saw this one article about how Gen Z is “unemployable” that pissed me off so bad. The thesis of the article was basically “Gen Z largely values authenticity, self-care, and helping others over productivity, which is soooo bad for us CEOs and why we can’t hire them :(“ like fuck off and reflect on what that says about you and your economic system

Replaying Deltarune Ch. 4 right now and I beat the Shadow Crystal boss for Chapter 4, which now means I have beaten all of the secret bosses in Deltarune Pretty fun fight, even if the mechanic that this fight relies on exposed how bad my reaction time is, with some very very interesting dialogue (and of course there’s the music). There’s so much stuff in this chapter that I missed on my first playthrough and playing through this chapter is getting me super excited for Chapter 5 to come out (but that’s going to have to wait at least 8 months probably )

I noticed this garbage feature a few months back when I wanted to watch an ASMR vid in French and I was immediately greeted with that loud ass English overdub. The only possible demographic this could appeal to is Americans who shit themselves when they hear anything that isn’t English, which to be fair is at least 40% of the country. Anyone know if Google autodubs to other languages or if you’re just forced to listen to English even if you’re in a non-English speaking country?

balling so hard right now

I just posted yesterday that I was replaying the rhythm game minigames on Deltarune and I got T Rank and I accidentally forgot to save it but I just got it again #goated (now I just need to do the hard mode version of this map)

finally got T Rank on one of the Deltarune rhythm game minigames and then I accidentally exited out of the game without saving and I haven’t been able to replicate it

Love their album “God’s Country.” Their music suits their visual aesthetic really well in that it sounds like a regular guy who has been driven completely insane by the oppressive hellscape he finds himself in

this would go hard as a banner
