I manage to get the my employer to do a cool thing and suddenly I’m a soy chud? What the fuck, comrades?

bit idea: the polar vortex not working as well because of Santa’s DEI elves

Yeah, this is the part that really cranks my tractor. You could absolutely explain it. But he’s not making a point, he’s making a gotcha statement.

It’s like they stopped calling it global warming to better encapsulate all the shit that happens with the phrase climate change. Then you need to call it anthropogenic climate change for when they go “but the weather is always changing.”

Wow, I’m just hearing this for the first time. What can I say? We were an amazing species.

Do you think it would hurt? After you get the dramatic fall over do you sort of sit there for a while before dying? “I already got the hype moment, can we wrap this up, please?”

And I’m not your brah

I almost separate it. Like you’d have to add the mustard to the phrase separately. That phrase is rudeness+excuse me. So of course it’s rude because you meant for it to be rude. Or if you shoulder check someone, for example, you’re getting off the metro aggressively while you say excuse me. The action is the rude part.

But even at this point I giga over thought. Excuse me (rude)

Reminds me of this tweet regarding Luffy’s outfits pre and post time skip. He’s obviously more fashionable in the latter. Then someone tweets “2 years on an island of women changed a broke bitch’s life”

If that picture is any indication, in 2004 their asses did not know how to draw black hair. Didn’t really hit the mark for soft facial features. It’s not just that the polygon count went up, but they can express blackness and femininity in a way that isn’t simple reskin or sex-forwardness. Which is to say that I think if they knew better they could have done better in the same technical and time-bound constraints.

Can they do sex-forwardness? I’m sure. In fact, I bet it’s there when the premise of the game is “fairytale ending not guaranteed.” But sex-forwardness is now on a separate axis than gender or race and that’s good for everyone. If you didn’t retreat into hate you could even express “I want a piece of media that is more tantalizing.” To which many people will oblige you. Whether or not there’s enough sex in the game, whether or not quirk-chungus dialogue ruins it, whether or not it’s safe corporate slop, whether or not they tokenize minorities, whether it’s a financial success or failure, and ultimately whether it’s fun or not is independent of expressing blackness and femininity in a way that is superior to how it was.

I think it’s a strict upgrade because even if you made a game with all the sensibilities that these gamers desire, but you put expressed these things differently, you’d still get a bit more agency out of the cast if women. If she’s Tsunade-mode, a healer who’s chested up to 11 in high heels, then it’s because she chose the outfit, you know? Someone didn’t choose the outfit even if it’s just because she’s the sister or childhood friend.

When is excuse me rude? I don’t understand the premise. To me the alternative, sorry, implies some kind of wrongdoing and not simple circumstance putting us in each other’s way. Excuse me is just like saying “oh, I’ll resolve this.” To hail someone? Seems as innocuous as can be. The tone? Wallahi I’m finished. I only have a couple phrases I intentionally put tone on

You were in Iraq (derogatory)?!

This and the next post make me want to go

Congrats on the weight loss! I hope you reach your goals and it’s meaningful for you. Are you being sure to get enough protein? Getting a third to a half of what was recommended to me (1.8g/kg of LBM) fucked my shit up. Then getting enough made the whole process like a hum in the background. It was also the difference between barely noticing my energy dip and running out of steam in the middle of grappling before my mind gave up

Loss of libido after popcorn, salad, peanut butter substitute, and no other mention of protein made me want to pop in and inquire.

I assume this is in response to Trump piping up about Greenland. He’s probably all “we need this because you guys don’t do shit for national security” and the response is all these pictures of boots going “oh, these people did nothing?! That’s so rude!”

But after an internal investigation we’ve decided that every invader getting murked in Afghanistan was self defense. So YTA it turns out

Not American, but I get the sentiment. I have some empathy for how labor was ground into a fine red mist and you’d have to build it up nearly from scratch. In the meantime you’re dealing with people who’d sooner side with Hitler than speak out against the Holocaust as the self-declared left party. The solution to the SS is to give them more funding for de-escalation training.

If you’d go out and be seen with a big gun with your ragtag team then you have my respect. But that shit is spooky as hell.

It was years and years ago and no search engine could help me. I don’t remember if it was a 4chan green text or an anprim smiling ball meme. My memory has been severed from the great repository unfortunately. Ewa has forsaken me

Just a day or two ago I was daydreaming about the meme where someone gets lice so they shave their head so they get stoned to death for inventing medicine. Then the people who stoned the victim to death get sentenced to death for inventing weaponry.

Why wouldn’t you automate that work? What a stupid system of production.

I thought it was Celtic with the runes. There’s no reason it couldn’t be Roman. I bet the people who use it might not be sure

I’m reasonably sure it’s a play on the viking/celtic runes. The same way when they want to see pictures/videos of one person being aesthetically outclassed in some kind of attribute (height, money, muscles, secondary sex characteristics, etc.) they call it a brvtal mogging.

It gets its etemology from a fictitious and grievance-filled niche and is inseparable from it. But it doesn’t point directly at a conspiracy
