Should just start putting out fake polls for fake states and see if anyone notices

The “we just decided to let readers judge for themselves” bullshit sounds all nice and fair and neutral but it is important to understand that it is not. There are infinite true things that exist in the world. The choice of which things to tell readers to allow them to assess *is a choice.*

I always imagine this kind of poster as a psyop. Not because I particularly believe it to be true, but because I want to resist misanthropy. Imagining a faithful opposition of Internet devils out to deceive me is less demoralizing than tiresome try-hard nihilists with their thumbs up their asses.

(in the family group chat): that wont matter. without radical change all of this is meaningless in fifteen years. we have no idea how dire things are (in the communist group chat): they should make a turn based final fantasy again with the two minute summon animations

A critical element of games culture today is that there's a common in-group experience. For the same reason nobody wants to hear about the dream you had last night, a unique and irreproducible game experience has diminished cultural value.

People who know about game design: Do you think open-world procedural narrative on the fly is bottlenecked by hardware, or is it a situation where players just don’t in practice want the openness that sounds cool in theory?

This feels like a personal attack, and please sir may I have another

Bluesky knew the strait of Hormuz, Graham Platner, and AIPAC democrats were all cooked months before the experts did. Meanwhile Twitter was convinced Spencer Pratt would win and the Odyssey would bomb. Which site is the not-real-life echo chamber again?

i just think if you have a trillion dollars you shouldve at some point provided a good or service that people were willing to pay for

we all deserve happiness like this

but this is like if every single company had the same HR rep who hates you and never lets you past the phone screen. no amount of application volume helps when there’s a monopoly like this

On its third attempt tonight, Marblehead Town Meeting approved an “MBTA Communities–compliant” district largely centered on the 125-year-old Tedesco Country Club, meeting 3A requirements on paper while all but assuring no new housing would be built. This comment says it all.

I do appreciate that everyone used different pictures

Middlebrow media enjoyers rise up. We want art with complex stories and emotional nuance featuring characters with interiority and yes we also want them to solve a murder or be a spy or kill a vampire or something
