According to the Japanese, you can ask God to reincarnate with super powers.

It’s truly a great bit and one that should be appropriated by a website that isn’t reactionary.

Bandera is in the game already if Ukraine becomes independent and fascist (although if Nazi Germany conquers them they can put a different German fascist in charge). HOI4 just kinda pretends the Holocaust doesn’t happen, which kinda whitewashes the fascists but also I don’t want to know what the HOI4 community would do if the Holocaust was actually in the game.

abruptly abandoned its draconian “Zero Covid” policies

There were months of protests, followed by a government rollout of the new less strict rules in phases over the course of several more months. The New York Times needs to reread the definition of “abruptly” because I don’t think they know what it means.

I don’t even feel disappointment when people I watch online turn out to not live up to the values they espouse anymore, I just feel numb. Are we all just hypocrites who haven’t been tested yet?

:flag-trans-pride: :uncle-ho-2:

I only know this because of Hasan, but Sneako brandished a gun, pointing it at his camera in an extremely cringe-inducing clip. Critical just explained the difference between a clip and a magazine.

Decolonizing Europe back into hundreds of fueding bordergore fiefdoms

I’ve had this idea for ages about someone who goes back to like 1000 AD and tries to introduce germ theory, disinfecting surfaces and medical devices with alcohol, etc. The conflict comes from them having to overcome medieval institutions being resistant to change, starting with them naively writing a treatise on what is currently considered medical common sense but getting rebuked for apparently not knowing what they’re talking about.

Naturally, the main character wears a cute version of a plague doctor outfit.

“ti” in Japanese is always pronounced “Tee”, if they intended it to be pronounced like the word “tide” it would have been spelled “Taidus”.

What’s really gonna blow your brain is realizing that nobody in either game ever says his name, which implies that Yuna fell in love with a man whose name she didn’t know :thinking-about-it:

iirc Greta’s said some socialisty stuff lately, but she really hasn’t been relevant since before the pandemic either way.

Is this the full interview or the clip from the episode? I haven’t watched it but the Chapos say in their episode about the Hillary show that it was obvious they cut Contra off right before she started explaining how the status quo wasn’t fixing the problem they were talking about, which seems like exactly what they would do.

They also did it while sending their kids to school and giving their workers some of the most comprehensive benefits of any developed country in history. I wonder what the kids were doing and what workers’ rights were like when England was building its own productive forces?

China taking a definitive stance on the issue of investiture.

And yet the narrative is that the communists are the ones who fucked up the food supply. No mother fucker, the communists are the ones who finally fucking fixed it!

with less pedophilia

give it time, it always happens

To be fair, my actual first aid training in the Marine Corps was basically “put a tourniquet on it and hope it’s not on the neck or head.”

They say they are not but they have created hexbear-communism to try and Make the murderous commie sickos seem palatable to Western people.

Is this the reason we’re here? Sounds based but I must not be getting the memos.

TVTropes is like Reddit in that it has the right wing skew you’d expect from libertarian tech bros, but doesn’t actively remove anything unless it becomes a problem for their advertisers. So there’s a lot of useful information about anarchism and communism on there, it’s just outnumbered by the amount of casual reaction that’s also there.

The exposition conversation. If anyone in a movie says anything like “well well if it isn’t my dear sister” I will get up and leave.
