A pair of three kingdom period pieces dominate my list:

I reincarnated as a legendary surgeon is a slice of life Isekai into the time just prior to the three kingdoms period in China.

Whereas Three Kingdom's: Lu Bu's legacy, takes Lu Bu, gives him the knowledge of his life as he lived it, and sets him loose in his own past with the idea that he needs to change to better the future.

And then there's The Boundless Necromancer, which is a pulpy Korean Webnovel which updated so slowly I became frustrated enough write my own novel whilst waiting for it to update.

Speaking of Muslims...

Imagine if this were happening in Dearborn, rather than somewhere in Maine?

I think industrial technological productivity forestalling the fall guarantees the horrors of the fall will be that much worse.

Uncle Ted isn't wrong.

Post this when you get back on.

Pointing out that Trans People are delusional and need real help needs to be normalized.

My money's on a youtube style automated mass-report system, with manual override/error-checking that is still manned by foreign/woke support staff.

Even if the staffing issues are addressed by firings, what you're left with is a weaponized system with no controls on it, instead of one with leftist controls.

Those who get abused by those in power and whine about 'fairness' or 'hypocracy' need to read more Machiavelli.

I love that this thread is 80% of what people are talking about.

It's like we are collectively saying:

Yes. Youtube is shit, but Final Fantasy is worth geeking out about.

There's a reason FF6 has been re-released several times.

If I had to suggest a single FF game, then it would have to be FF6.

I have found that the more the world goes to hell, the more it matters keeping my space in order, creating the order I can in my immediate environment. Tending the plant on my desk or adding words to a manuscript is orders of magnitude better for me than anything I can learn by examining the scope of the decline of the West.

Tend your garden. Care for yourself. The world can burn (or not) very well on its own.

This youtube comment sums up what I think is happening.

Basically, a lot of third rate comics publishers are IP farms run on borrowed money, looking to score the next big Hollywood option. It's a scam, where the organizers draw a salary for a few years while hoping to strike gold on owning the next Squid Game.

If they fail, bankruptcy follows. But none of the money was theirs, so they walk away. Only creators and investors get left holding the bag. If not, ca-ching! Jackpot! The investors and the creatives are all hopelessly converged, so I watch them fucking each other over in the bottom of the crab pot with glee anyway.

I think "medicalized grooming" is more accurate. What is being done in the name of medicine would be called grooming in a saner era.

Stochastic Terrorism

I sleep.

Never-ending corporate terrorism and bitcoin assassins making Silicon Valley a bloody mess in the name of ending AI.

Real shit.

McCracken, not Tartakovsky, but Tartakovsky was a director.

Safe to say there was some creative overlap.

They might even dig them up to make a political point.

Confederates, then Jefferson & Washington, then even the non-slave holding founders as 'complicit.'

Ideally, the losses are large enough and obvious enough that the shareholders, who are only interested in profit, sue the ever living shit out of the ESG-tainted boards, shutting this grift down.

I believe Disney faces just such a suit. Ideally, the large stakeholders will sue over the use of their investment/capital to subsidize ESG's ends. As long as they can prove damages/money lost, godspeed.

My bookmark would take me to main page; the theme not loading seems to be the cause. An almighty f5 seemed to fix it. Until I hit the bookmark again. :P
