I don't have a good answer for you, but I do know that shame is really over hyped as a motivator and fuel source. It's a debuff that was designed to get you to step out of the fire, but if it doesn't fade then it actually makes showing up to raid day with your pre-raid BiS, pots, and memorized strats much harder. But if you don't want to play the MMO in the first place because you don't enjoy it, then maybe your role isn't buying out the auction house's mats. Maybe you're a game designer, author, or dungeon master. If you find a part of the fantasy you enjoy, you could be inspired by a vision instead of shamed into action all the time. Which, at the end of the day, means that you're not above or outside of this. Homie, you're a victim

Without examination I had called it a civilized society having to compete with one that was organized as a blood thirsty empire optimized for death and destruction being pit against each other in a competition of violence. If you asked me why I didn't consider the ripple effect of WW2 I would have and am currently telling you "oh yeah..."

I'm happy for SonicFox, I hope they get as much as they deserve.

The question remains: why do sports want my attention so bad? What's with all the anime, the Vtubers, the One Piece collabs, and SonicFox? Is it so that I gamble on sports books?

Yeah, what else can you say besides Marx was right about this dogshit system that turns us into the most wretched commodities? If I were in his position I wouldn't care one little bit about America because I don't even like it. My only job would be maximizing profit and I would deserve the judgement of the vanguard party when it was my turn.

Am I wrong? I'm all ears for a different perspective.

Things are written to be so much more interesting per square second of entertainment by the way. In my opinion it's worth analysis how what I watch (which is admittedly not much) has every frame contributing to the narrative. It's seldom panning shots of the beach or people sighing with ennui unless it's right before they shake hands for a million dollar deal or something.

Therefore, if a woman's on screen I always see her doing something that illustrates the character's personality or advances the plot just like every other character or element of the scene. They'd have to go out of their way to make the woman seem dull or ordinary. She would be the only thing in the shot behaving that way. The only interesting critique I've heard of Princess Peach, for example, is that they changed her personality to be rambunctious and ready to get her hands dirty. A comparison to Princess Peach: Showtime! described her as living for the glitz and glam and being graceful as she floats around saving the day. It therefore shows in stark relief how juvenile the image of masculinity is because feminism is when woman does stuff. Why the fuck would anyone write a character without agency or personality? They just wouldn't fit. Characters are interesting in relation to the others around them and how they make use of that which they control. Peach stick out as if she was drawn in crayon on top of charcoal if she were simply locked in a jail cell alone.

There's a game theory about the gender of toads. It's complicated.

I don't like the narrative that we're using for Epstein anymore. Like yeah, Trump is a pedophile BUT

stay with me now

but if memory serves the original framing was how bizarre it was that all of the political and cultural elite were in cahoots for this international pedophile ring. Why was everyone in the pedophile ring?

To focus on Trump's Epstein connection is to minimize the scope and fucked upednednss of the sophisticated operation in my mind. Do you know what I mean? It's profound that Velveeta Voldemort is a straight up predator, but why is there a big pedophile cult all the way down?

What gets me is that it's such a benign amount of money. It's like tangible and understandable. When I think of trophy hunting I think of people in 10 million dollar houses who have personal chefs spending mind numbing money to completely altar their reality. So I guess I expected something more disgusting to be more expensive in turn. It's like if you had an anger problem and left it unaddressed until after you got a good tech job for a half a decade you could live out your American school system fantasy and then visit Italy in the same trip. It's just like when politicians get bought off for <10k. What? Did you need to make ends meet on a new car?! What the fuck are you talking about?!

I'm spitballing about the title to an article I just saw a jpeg of, so I'm no expert (AND IMPORTANTLY BLISSFULLY UNAWARE OF THE MEANING OF INTIFADA). I imagine if I rose to prominence doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and all around me nerds are always chanting "heel hook their legs off!" I'd eventually make a statement like he did. They'd be all "Oh, WDYMP prefers the IBJJF's watered down ruleset..." but maybe the slogan reflects poorly on the way I see the sport. "Twist their legs off" wouldn't stop me from being embarrassed by nerds.

If he does something like this he might see his goal as mayor to be more focused and less general. He really wants to make good on his promise of affordability and if he himself generalized his message it might muddy the waters, open him to criticism, and risk getting nothing done. He's also a demsucc so I could just as easily be wrong.

Of course, comrade. I think you break the mold in your understanding of nutrition. I think enough people go into it unprepared and open themselves up to getting hurt or fucking with their metabolism that it was worth a ping.

I took time out of my day to watch the Nintendo Direct and it was all SLOP AND BULLSHIT! FUCK YOU NINTENDO susie-nudge

 

I'm going to fucking vomit and throw up. This fucking sucks! THIS IS THE WORST FUCKING THING FUCK

 

"No, now we can finally fix gender..."

kril-wtf

 

Make a census of the shittiest fucking work on Earth and start automating from there. In 10 years the shittiest job will be feeling ennui smoking a long cigarette under a crescent moon on a little Perisian rooftop

 

So congratulations to him - I've been rooting for him since he took down Kevin Holland with unrelenting wrestling. But I was browsing R*ddit which was my first mistake and major sin. But people are speculating, which I found interesting, about Ramzan Kadyrov, head of the Chechen Republic, having Khamzat under his thumb. There was video of Kadyrovtaking the UFC belt. They were speculating that, if Khamzat said anything the warlord would have his family killed. There's shit like this video of them sparring. This is, of course, before his "I have no enemies" arc (not important in the scope of this chat) where he was more of a hothead because it happened before his kill everybody interview (1:30 of the segment).. So I always found it weird.

But then, I suppose the point of this whole thing that I wanted to get at was why is Kadyrov such a dangerous seeming guy? How did he get there? I hear that there's a wary respect for him because the Chechen people faced genocide a the hands of Russia for the last 90 years - meaning it went back to the USSR, so as long as a strong Russian-Chechen general in Kadyrov is around they get protection. And so I know nothing of it - I see Kadyrov's wikipedia page and some shit about his dad being a separatist who sided with Putin in the second Chechen war which is rough because I didn't know there was a first one.

So displacement during WW2? Collaboration with Nazis? Chechen wars? What were they cooking?
