It's probably one of my biggest pet peeve with this clownworld bullshit narrative. It's "first world problems" on deviant and psychotic steroids.
Oh noes, someone said the "wrong" pronoun? Poor tranny is being "oppressed". Got "bullied" In a game for running around with a pride flag? Worst experience "ever". Protecting kids from their grooming? Clearly it must be a far-right conspiracy to commit genocide!
And beyond that, they're given special preferential treatment in a sizable portion of the corporate, government, medical, and cultural world within Western nations. Charities, specialized therapists, even tax/state paid insurance coverage in some cases.
They're honestly lucky that the majority of the public aren't pissed off enough to do what would normally be done at any other point in Western history.
Sometimes it can be useful to be aware of what kind of angle or narrative is being pushed, if it reveals any strategically useful information.
And then other times it's just a waste of time because they're resorting to spewing any kind of bullshit no matter how little sense it makes. More often it seems to end up being the latter, as part of the "grand" strategy of leftists not bothering to ever commit to any kind of serious debate or argument beyond propagandized points.
Generally, it can start by people nominating others they think would make a decent choice. I could think of a few names off the top of my head.
Something else to consider is that, if the site works the way I think it does, Dom should be able to maintain admin in the event of an emergency situation.
Most trolls are easily spotted and downvoted to the point of negligible impact, sometimes to eventual obscurity. They only seem to become a legitimate problem when they're allowed to brigade incessantly and unchecked.
Although during election season, I dunno. Thus far I don't think scored has actually showed up too seriously on the leftist radar. That doesn't mean there won't be an occasional psyops or two, but overall I've yet to see any clear indications that it's given any kind of serious consideration since the overall numbers don't make it a priority compared to other platforms.
I think a lot of these charities also only reach out to helping veterans who've recently come out of active service. Like within a year.
Which leaves a lot of veterans from previous active service out of luck, even if they've received any kind of serious injuries or damage from conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
And I'd wager that a lot of these charities "only" became a thing long after those conflicts had started to settle down.
Unfortunately, their women will still pass on some of the same cultural and genetic heritage of their people. Which means any of their future sons and other descendants will become a problem in the future if allowed to remain.
Agreed overall. The build system is quite solid, but it ends up being a massive disappointment because the overall game lacks even the most basic of solid gameplay design or polish, after years of half-assed work.
And 7 Days to Die, conversely, had a clear, fun, solid gameplay design almost from day 1, even when it was unpolished jank.
Whenever Steam cloud or Steam community has a fit I remember that it's Tuesday or Thursday. At the very least, unlike other server/service outages, Steam's usually consistent in its timing. And overall pretty reliable most of the rest of the time.
Another thing too is that coop games, when successful, can lead to (very loosely) 4x profits simply because you can get entire groups of friends buying a game in bunches.
I feel like Borderlands set the trend for this, given how they ended up selling Steam-bundles based on that idea.
This has to be some of the most retarded sperging you've done. I've occasionally run searches for coop games over the years, and there has been a substantial DROP in the last 2-4 years. And they're something that AAA studios have rarely ever chased. And I just did another search, barely anything worth mentioning that's come out in the last year, save for obviously Helldivers 2 and BG3.
You know what trends AAA studios chase a lot? 3rd person shooters. Hero shooters. Battle Royales. MMORPG's (less so in recent years). Call of Duty clones. Casual "playing house" types of games. MOBA's. Minecraft stylized shovelware. And maybe not AAA studios, but there have certainly been a fuckton of sidescrollers and pixel-graphics games. As well as clones of games that appeal to mobile markets.
And now we have multiple Stray-like trends coming out, where you also run around as a cat. (Which admittedly, I don't find entirely unappealing, but it is a fantastic example of the silliness that happens when trends influence creativity.)
I'm sure there might've been some weird subcultural communities here and there, just based on some of the weird and obscure experimental-type philosophers and the some of the quirky regional cults here and there.
Ancient Greek culture and Greek peoples as a whole though were nowhere near as degenerate as modern Hollywood and Academia have been trying to paint things. The oddball examples I'm thinking of were pretty rare exceptions, that usually had pretty small (if any) followings.
Plus I think most of the quirky examples weren't degenerate so much as whimsical. And I'm being vague here because I have no particular recollection of any of the names I'd come across, and it's a rather long list to go through.
Edit: Correction, brain's out of it right now. Totally forgot about the colorful details throughout Greek mythology. Even so, it's one thing to come up with weird and grotesque stories, and quite another to actually practice them.
There's a lot of things that may have been going wrong.
IE, the vaccine was supposed to be injected into muscle and "stay there". Except medical standard practice of aspirating to ensure they weren't injecting into a vein was abandoned for convenience purposes.
Vaccine storage was rumored to be haphazard. Part of this of course was due to the scale and logistics involved, but it was a multi-layered level of incompetence.
Another problem I think was that there really wasn't a lot of investigation into how physical activity in patients shortly after vaccination might increase risks in a few ways. Possibly increasing the risk of spread from the muscle to the blood, spread of spike proteins, and obviously the potential strain on the cardiovascular system when it's in a somewhat risky state.
And yes, the self-replication part as a whole is a bit iffy. More-so since they built the entire fucking thing off of the spike protein, even though supposedly it's the spike protein that does a lot of the damage.
Just so many stupid mistakes and minimal oversight. Zero responsibility. A total fuck up that's been covered up and buried to high heaven.
Exactly. One of the main issues with the covid vaccines was the entire combination of conditions.
A virus that is remarkably virulent and damaging as well as difficult to produce a vaccine for in the first place, combined with experimental technology that hasn't been "field tested" like this before, rushed really fast, distributed on a global scale with poor quality control and improper storage methods, shitty policy, cover ups, etc etc etc.
And after that shitshow, and given how much money was made without them bearing any consequences for their recklessness, I have no trust in anything they come up with, even though the mRNA technology itself isn't necessarily an issue.
Most of these aren't exactly the worst responses I've seen. One or two obvious crazies/retards, and some clumsy and disorganized rhetoric.
And obviously they only express a very basic understanding of anything that's going on, but that's pretty typical.
Well what sort of started the long slide was when Sony started shifting a lot of their company from Japan over to California, about a decade or so ago iirc.
And it's probably not a stretch to suggest that as California becomes increasingly deranged and insane, so do a lot of the companies that operate there.
Aye. It's a very old and very accurate meme of the technical and business world. Promoting the less competent to management and supervisory positions, since it's seen as safer or somehow more efficient than firing and replacing them. "Failing upwards".
I've said for years that Mormons are some of the most easily corrupted when it comes to woke/regressive/leftist ideals, especially given the right angle and appeal to emotion and "compassion".
Simply put, they're too nice, and many live in a cozy and isolated bubble. Male Mormons can, to some extent, be the perfect poster-child example for the "White Knight" pejorative. And almost anytime the narrative can be spun to emphasize how much families, children, and/or women are suffering, Mormons can easily fall for it.
That's not to say that they're pushovers either. They like things quiet and civil in their communities, and wouldn't have a lot of tolerance for a "summer of love" situation to get out of control. Or out of control SF-drug trafficking and rampant thievery.
And ironically, I guess much like other religious institutions, most members prefer to adhere to trust in their church's efforts to provide charity and humanitarian aide, rather than through the usual globalist/leftist institutions. Which means they tend to not pay as much credence or actual money directly to the leftist cause.
