Sounds like good motivation to lose the beer belly.
Or don’t, there’s people out there who are into the gut. It’s more about making sure people feel comfortable in their own skin and not just bending to societal expectations out of a blind sense of conformity.
Just to add onto this, don’t think that just because you live in a deep red or deep blue area, you can’t mobilize and make a serious difference. Most incumbents get by due to public indifference. Replacing members of both parties in entrenched areas with progressives is possible, but those progressives need help. Any time you can give is always appreciated!
100% believable and 100% pointless. So much of that money is basically being wasted on their digital art team making technically distinct assets for each game. They all have to be exceptionally high quality, because Call of Duty is a AAA franchise, but do any players actually care if their sniper rifle looks slightly different if the numbers and mechanics are identical?
Feel like all of CoD’s successful competitors have figured out that FPS players don’t really give a shit and will happily play the same client on the same maps with minimal updates year after year, but Acti-Blizz is addicted to reinventing the wheel each time even though they’re reusing the good maps.
At least in recent memory, it was Dragon’s Dogma 2 teaching me that I could pick up and carry downed party members by having one of my party members pick up another one and bring them over to me. There’s so much that’s possible in DD2 that just isn’t in a typical videogame, that throughout the entire experience I was mostly learning niche interactions from my other party members instead of my own experimentation. It was a really cool experience, and felt way more impactful then a text prompt just lecturing me about all the mechanics the game has.
Yeah but utter destabilization isn’t the goal. A complete collapse of the current power structure would just allow corporate interests to assume direct control in the name of peacekeeping. The goal is to use my wishfish to get us toward an egalitarian society, not plunge us into chaos. Have to destroy the old ways while guiding to a new way.
Hell if I know. My hometown was a sorta nexus of misery like Derby though, and I’m the only one I know of from my graduating class that actually got out. So I’d guess they’ve either already died in Indiana, or are on the path to dying in Indiana, and I couldn’t imagine a worse fate for them.
I mean, 2 and 3 are also largely a deconstruction of 1. The Matrix is an incredibly well made movie with really stupid themes. 2 and 3 do an excellent job highlighting why stuff like “Neo is the Chosen One” is fundamentally bad storytelling, but there were a lot of audiences who loved The Matrix fully and completely. I can understand why those people were disappointed when 2 and 3 weren’t just more senseless violence in black trenchcoats, but ultimately the series wasn’t made for them.
IIRC, 2 and 3 were meant to be one film, but it got split due to studio meddling. I wonder if there is a mega-cut adapting the whole trilogy into a single runtime.
Light Yagami could get pretty elaborate with what he required people to act out in a Death Note, but I’m not sure exactly how to destabilize our globalist economy with only one page. It likely starts with using the leader of a capitalist country to kill a large swath of it’s billionaire class at once, then forcing said leader to support the nationalization of healthcare, food production, transportation, mineral extraction, etc before trying to influence other capitalist nations to take the same path for the rest of their life before heart attack inevitably gets them. The problem is that I really think you only get to write this for one leader, due to the space requirements. I guess as long as the assumption that all the world’s ills stem from America it’s fine, but isn’t Murdoch currently operating out of Australia? Missing even a few key billionaires with the initial murder leaves a lot of powerful opposition.
because the goal isn’t for more transparency in their service, CTA is mismanaged trash rn. It’s to have less transparency, so less people realize that the delays between trains still have not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and likely never will.
Nah I’m usually high af whenever I post anything, so I just let everything I post stand as a monumennt to high me.
That’s the trick, people will always want shovels. Even after the gold rush ends, the only difference is demand for shovels goes back to normal, it doesn’t disappear.
C’mon, you can’t say no matter how its cooked. You sure I can’t interest you in some fried asparagus with a cheese-based sauce? Yeah, any nutritional value you’re getting out of them is pretty much ruined, but who cares.
Why are you saying this in jest? Late-stage capitalism is a civilization ending event, like an aggressive cancer upon our collective reality. It will consume everything we have to give it and demand more in the pursuit of infinite growth.
I mean, depending on what part of the U.S. you are in, the water you’re drinking might not actually be clean.
You shouldn’t have to preface your statement with anything, living conditions in some American states are legitimately comparable to third world impoverished nations.
This is almost way too nice.
America was founded by businessmen who fancied themselves as a new aristocracy, and religious zealots who were such assholes they could no longer co-exist with Europeans.
Right but our country just elected a fascist who wants to install himself as dictator for life, so how do we actually move towards implementation of any of those things considering neither are supported by the ruling party or the corporations that have fully entrapped our government?
Better find out the answer to that question quickly too, because it’s coming for your country next.
What do you mean? The people who benefited the most from the collapse of the Soviet Union are the people still in power. I’d argue they did an excellent job setting up the Western hegemony to worship billionaires and empower themselves.
What, did you think the U.S. was going to do something good with that power?
Why do you think Americans gave up on cable? It wasn’t because of sports, we still love those and go through way too many dogshit streaming services to watch them. Our shows are so trash even we don’t wanna watch them.
It’s She’s Electric Girl for the 13th consecutive year! Wow, what a winner, can’t wait to see who takes it next year!
How on earth has nobody said X Gon’ Give It To Ya. Maybe people are getting fixated on the Supreme Court part, but I feel like that’s the right theme for kicking any ass in a White Castle parking lot.
