  • He’s a failson that keeps falling upwards. He was pretty disliked by the other teachers at Stony Brook (SUNY) that he somehow got an assistant professor job in the business side (and tellingly not the economics side). Somehow got a job offer to do an opinion column for Bloomberg (again, tellingly not actual economics reporting, but just his feeling on them). I wish I bookmarked the public goodbye letter he left for the school faculty when he got this job offer to Bloomberg. Says the right things to keep failing upwards, I guess, since there’s no punishment for being a wrong economist.











  • The part where she sleeps in your hotel room was fucking crazy. Thankfully nothing happens but it was such a weird thing to do. The entire time I was like “please nothing weird happen.” Haven’t finished the game yet but I think I’m near where you are.

    I thought it was really funny when he lectures the black cop to not be transphobic to one of the characters. I can’t tell if that was written in earnest, but it’s really funny if you view it as like some dipshit lecturing people on things he barely understands like he does with Arnold S. movies, criminal profiling, etc. I don’t think you’re supposed to uncritically agree with everything York says, but it’s hard to tell.

    I do think Swery basically only uses movies for reference points when writing and that’s where a lot of the bad shit is coming from.








  • Yeah, you get completely stonewalled on these topics. They can’t even handle any debate on it or whatever, they immediately jump to labelling you as some internet-invented identity/insult like saying you’re a communist-putinist-fascist that wants to holocaust Ukrainians or something for being skeptical of NATO. I guess this is what the internet-based PSYOPs are being used for because every other topic you might be able to get some leeway, even awful shit like paedophilia or something. But touch foreign policy, etc. and they respond by mental reflex to shut down the conversation as quickly as possible, which is how the right mostly operates about everything, but it’s slowly working its way through left-libs on more and more topics.

    Only thing close to experiencing this kind of discussion is debating animal rights/veganism with non-vegans in how quick they are to hallucinate arguments I didn’t make and how emotional they get doing it. Antinatalism arguments I see are similar to this too, but I don’t think that’s a PSYOP, I think that’s a human need for a specific narrative concerning human life to feel comfortable existing in this universe.
