I saw both AI and Bicentennial man when I was a kid. They definitely have synergy, because the memories of both of them are blended and linked in my head. I cant recall one without also remembering the other. Both messed by head up with the grief and sense of loss, lol. I still have an involuntary sad reaction now when I remember them. I think they became core memories somehow because of how fatalistic they were.
In real life, I dont like people who go around shooting up cities.
In video games, I tried to depopulate Los Santos with a four man death squad and a humvee.
Truly, the hypocrisy will drive me to sepuku myself out of shame.
What gets me about the passport bro rhetoric is how badly the weztern women insult the foreign women, insinuating they're stupid gold digger slaves.
Apparently it isnt racist when women say it.
And they always repeat, like a broken record, the same insults about the men.
"You just cant get a woman in your home country" "you just cant afford western women, broke boy" etc
Like, yeah. It's the men who can afford to fly to a foreign country to pick up hot women, who are poor and ugly. Lol
No, the men who leave are the ones with higher expectations, and the ones rich enough to routinely travel internationally. They are not poor. They are the upper middle or just upper class.
The poor and ugly men have no choice but to look for crumbs. They're the men staying to date the Western feminists, because they have no choice.
I've been compiling a library of blurays, music cds, and dvds from local thrift stores. The ones near me sell any media for $2. New sealed, or an entire TV series, doesnt matter.
Got the entire Clone Wars series for $2 because it has the same blanket media price as all the individual cds. It's crazy what people give away just because it's out of style. Someday, as the streaming services get worse selection and more expensive, they'll regret this and wish they had their original library back. For now it's to our benefit.
I've been scanning the thrift stores for 2-3 years, gradually accumulating stuff as it comes in. I think I have over 500 movies and complete series at this point, plus an uncounted amount of music cds, most of the media library I've ever consumed.
Started ripping them last weekend, and backing up the files multiple places-- on my pc, on spare sata ssds, etc.
But my favorite media player is a cheap chinese emulator handheld. Loaded up a pair of sd cards, one with game isos, one with mkv movies.
Now I can play all my ps1, dreamcast, snes, gba, etc (anything older than ps2) roms and all my movies on one handheld device. I can even output them to my home theater setup drm free, with hdmi-out. Its hardware is about as strong as a potato, but that's more than enough. Technology has long since outstripped the demands of hd video and emulated ps1 games.
Meanwhile when I try to stream movies from amazon, they tell me my gaming pc doesnt support HD video and to get a verified device. Ok. Bye Amazon.
The narcissism with these people.
A soy bugman being unable to afford a house is not a "dragon slaying you." You didnt lose the battle, you never fought a battle. You meekly crawled through life on your belly and now want to normalize failure to hide your weakness.
There is nothing wrong with living a normal life, "returning to the village," so to speak. But you havent attained a normal life. That would require a wife and kids. The bare minimum almost every human since the stone age has been able to attain.
There IS something wrong with a generation dying alone surrounded by funko pops, and there is nothing transcendant about that life.
In fact, they have learned nothing: they are still just as arrogant as when they started, because they have succeeded at nothing, yet still feel qualified to tell other people how to live.
It would be very difficult to make eye contact with this person, I dont have enough muscle discipline to look in different directions at the same time.
Corpos hire people because they exhibit signs of severe mental illness, yet are shocked when these people turn out to be severely mentally ill.
Very smart.
I doubt they will succeed at making people eat purely insect-based foods. The level of revulsion is too high.
What Im worried about is how many currently popular foods will quietly add insects.
Say hello to Tyson chicken nuggets, made with 80 percent real chicken! (And 20 percent cricket in tiny text on the back.)
These losers all owe Cooper Lawrence an apology. Remember how much heat she got, and how millenials mocked Fox News, for reporting that Mass Effect sex scenes were "basically porn" back in the day.
Redditors at one point, as recently as 3 years ago, held that up as the ultimate example of conservative Christians censoring gaming. They've come full circle so fast.
Edit: Not Megyn Kelly. Cooper Lawrence, apparently.
Yeah, that's the sense I got too. Sad person found a "community" that makes him feel special, and he takes it way too far. He's either going to course correct and come back to reality once his life levels out and gets some real meaning, in which case this stage of his life will feel like a manic episode. Or he drifts further out and dies of suicide surrounded by yes-men.
With Lunacid that was already a given, the sole dev is nonbinary and posts mostly about his depression and his cat.
They attack every attractive woman that way, including real women. It has turned pathological.
Social media recently had a meltdown over an American guy who moved to Colombia, started a farm, and married a local girl who looked too young for their taste. They shrieked that the man was a pedo and that the girl was a victim.
Lo and behold, turns out the woman was several years OLDER than the man. Did the internet apologize? No, they just started making up new reasons to shit on the guy. Plus, they also started calling the girl a gold digging skank, when five minutes earlier they'd been crowing about "protecting" her.
The reality is, theyre just hateful freaks who cant handle seeing prettier women do better and hate less than them.
Accusing men of sex crimes is just a way to get their hate out while loooking virtuous.
I myself, in real life, have had the police called on me in public because my wife looks young, even though we are the exact same age. Karens just cant help themselves. When they see attractive women looking happy with a man, their hamster wheel starts spinning, inventing sex crimes.
Feminists are convinced that Megalia is heroes. They dont acknowledge any of the cult activity, and if they did, they wouldnt think it was a bad thing. Their own circles are a parallel world to ours, in which men deserve any and all evil.
The huge feminist vs male divide in Korea is interesting to me, as it is the widest gender ideology gap in the world, and therefore is a roadmap to our future.
What's striking to me is that even when feminism has trashed a society utterly and men are in full-on backlash, feminists just blame men harder. It makes reconciliation impossible and guarantees an ever accelerating breakdown. Feminists feel they are a superior race forced into slavery, so they cant be reasoned with. And men are actually an oppressed underclass, even though most of them wont admit it, so they have no more room to retreat even if they wanted to.
Ask a feminist what the problem is, ask them to explain the 0.6 birthrate, they'll say its because men are so hateful and women are protesting by not having sex.
But Korea is a developed country, with relatively low rates of poverty and violence. What violence and poverty there is, victimizes more men than women. Women are objectively materially privileged. Additionally, sexist attitudes had declined over time until the 2010s, as the birth rate dropped. Sexist attitudes only grew again after the psycho Goddess cult shit. So the evidence doesnt match the feminist interpretation.
What all this indicates is that feminism is irreversible, no matter how bad it gets or how much men unite against it. Women would rather scuttle the entire society than negotiate with men as equals. They will just make up endless rationalizations for why men need to be beaten harder.
Therefore, if feminism is astroturfed onto us by a foreign rival such as China, it is an invincible weapon. And if we are doing it to ourselves of our own volition, it amounts to suicide.
Either way, our governments are trapped between a rock and a hard place. Trying to squeeze even more from men is like trying to bleed a stone. They just dont have much more to give. And trying to push back against women is socially impossible, you'll be accused of rape and thrown out of office immediately.
Feminists when a game is censored and people are upset: "OMG find a hobby incels, can you imagine caring about what a virtual clump of pixels is wearing? This isnt censorship because the devs did it themselves."
Feminists when a game isnt censored: "This is SO damaging and hateful, shut it down right now!"
When a game actually goes our way, use their tactics back on them. Imply they're a manbaby for caring. Call them an incel for not being able to look at attractive women. Insinuate they're a rapist trying to deflect and hide their own desires by controlling what women wear.
If she wasnt a woman born into a rich family, her natural state would be as a Kwik Trip cashier. I can picture her dead-eyed stare in the uniform so easily.
Jesus Christ. She's as bad as Israel at making up fake propaganda bullshit.
Looking forward to the midnight ballot dumps comprised of "Nikki Haley for President" scribbled on stacks of yellow sticky-notes.
As a Jewish man (on my mom's side), I think Israel should be taking all the refugees. Isnt it the responsibility of the country causing the exodus, to care for the people they're displacing?
Could have sworn America was shamed into taking a whole bunch of war refugees after Vietnam and Afghanistan blew up on us.
Some sectors of the internet think that soon some new 5g thing (idk, an upcoming revision or a test or something?) Is going to activate lipid nanoparticles distributed by the Covid vaccines and turn mankind into zombie slaves.
You think Ukraine might lend us one of those cluster bombs?
She's kind of looking like a cenobite right now.
"all you have to do is tap their sword with your sword and then it stops, it's magic"
They smell like. . You know, the thing Bub. Don't make me a pony soldier now.
It's not real enough to get me a day off work. If it were a real holiday, Biden would give me the day off rather than just virtue signal about it.
As usual for the left, their ideas are just real enough to fuck people over, not real enough to help anyone. Typical.
I wouldnt need an excuse to shoot a mugger, but I would need a guarantee I wasnt going to prison for it.
I doubt Chicago is based enough to just let you shoot thieves.
