He’s not a vtuber, but yeah, my understanding is that he’s pretty normie. In fact, considering how he accepts getting struggle-sessioned by people like Hasan, he’s arguably more normie-left than anything… he just doesn’t fully go along with DEI.
We can make fun of it because it failed, yes, but it’s not like that failure happened in a vacuum. There’s not someone flipping a coin on whether a given timekeeping system catches on and this one just got unlucky. It failed because it was a retarded and unnecessary change that did nothing but cause confusion at best and a deliberate attack on societal cohesion pushed through in a much-hated attempt to engineer a top-down changing of values at worst.
That’s why it deserves scorn, not just some arbitrary “well, this one didn’t happen to catch on but plenty of others have” silliness.
To be honest, I think of that as “stereotypically millennial,” or even “stereotypically modern.” It may have started with Jews, but it’s society-wide, now.
It’s not very inspiring, but—and maybe my racism level just isn’t high enough—I’m not sure what makes it quintessentially “Jewish.” The vaguely apathetic fatalism?
I don't think it would be a good idea to put sexy, dancing, blonde stewardesses on the deportation flights, but 10/10 advertising.
They’ve made four albums, although none since 2018. They kicked one of the band members out at one point for praising Andy Ngo’s book, and I honestly thought the band broke up at that time. Marcus Mumford made a solo album after that happened, too.
I clicked on the first link, saw it was Mass Effect music, and knew without clicking that the other one would be Halo. Some of the best music in gaming (and probably better than most modern music outside gaming, even) right there.
This reminds me of when Diablo 4 launched with that super fat druid model. There was some hamplanet streamer that I saw a clip of seeing the character for the first time and going "she looks like me!" complete with performative tears. I tracked that version down just now, but when I first saw it, it was posted to reddit or something and of course all the comments were gushing about how "heartwarming" and "wholesome" it was. All I could think was: "yeah, she does look like you. And you, living in your body, must be aware of how hard it is for you to do basically anything. You probably get winded walking up a single flight of stairs. Do you really have no cognitive dissonance here seeing an action hero that 'looks like you'?"
These people should be more aware than anyone else of just how absurd this stuff is. They live their physical limitations every day. And yet their raging narcissism makes them go "yeah, this looks right" when they see an action hero character that obviously couldn't perform any sort of actual action.
Actually, I think I have seen those.
I trust the UN to do the wrong thing.
No, what you said was that he can’t really be Anglo, because he would be left-wing if he was. Hypothetically, how would you feel if a poster here said “I’m Jewish,” and someone responded with “I don’t believe you’re Jewish, because if you were you’d be left wing”? The statistics support that assumption at least as much as they support yours.
So you can make sweeping generalizations about white people as a rhetorical tool based on statistical trends, but when someone else uses statistics to suggest things about nonwhite people they’re being foolish?
Here is what I believe Trump will do if given power again:
- Incompetency
This should be “be incompetent,” or “act incompetently,” or “appoint incompetents,” or the lead in should be “here are things I believe will happen” or some similar change. Now, I get it. When you’re building a bullet point list it can be easy to lose track of making everything line up with your lead-in, and if this were several points deep, as long as the communication were still clear, I wouldn’t rag on it too much. An editor should still catch it, but whatever.
But holy shit, this is the first fucking bullet point. At least make the very first one line up with the words directly preceding it, please.
In this context, it’s a polite way of saying “castrated.”
They might not turn as much of a blind eye for foreigners. Plus, depending on where you’re going to Korea from, your own government might go after you when you get back.
There’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico
That’s literally just a rephrasing of a super old tumblr/Twitter leftist joke about Britain. I’m not trying to accuse him of plagiarizing—it seems like a pretty easy joke to come up with by coincidence—just saying that obviously they laugh and laugh when it’s aimed at the evil whites (who built a globe-spanning empire) instead of the poor oppressed browns (who built a trashy island).
He loved Epic and Fortnite. I forget exactly why, but he was convinced they resisted feminism more than, say, Apple or Steam. Until they had Brie Larson voice a character, then he moved them to his enemies list.
I don't really care about Hamas except inasmuch as there are rabid leftists and some of the rapefugees we let in that I'm sure would attack people in Hamas' name in the right circumstances. Of course, I don't really doubt that Israel would be willing to false flag a Hamas attack on the US in the right circumstances, either.
Basically, both Israel and Hamas are potential problems that I would love to ignore but can't entirely. One is probably worse than the other, though.
You’d be surprised. It was the advent of things like Dueling Network that really allowed people to test outside of their local playgroup and started consolidating knowledge and theory. But even into early 5Ds era, I’m pretty sure it’s possible to find occasional tournament deck lists that did put up actual results doing silly things like running Upstart Goblin in a 41 card deck.
Yeah, you could put it (or even ME as a franchise, arguably) on either side of the cutoff.
Yeah, because that’s a public pledge of allegiance to the ideology behind the game.
BioWare has repeatedly demonstrated that their form post ME3 is “being faggy,” so I suppose it’s correct in that sense.
I wish. But American diplomatic presence in Japan is headed by people like Rahm Emanuel, so there’s a good chance they’d take the kind of racism claims some of these nuisance streamers would make very seriously.
First off, I don’t think being racist is necessarily bad. It depends on a lot of contextual stuff like who’s being racist, as well as where, how, and what the consequences are.
With that out of the way, I definitely wouldn’t consider either one racist. If someone said “both are racist,” I would think that stupid but it’s still a universal standard. The issue is that a large group of people with cultural and institutional power would consider only one of those things racist, and think that that’s an offense that merits punishment.
But they're not random, that's the point. Each one had goals and motivations behind it, each one had consequences, and some of them were better than others. If you want to say "the coin flip happened thousands of years ago," how far back do you want to take that? Is it a "coin flip" that we happen to be on a planet with 12 lunar cycles in a typical year, which gave us natural preferences towards 12 unit cycles for keeping time? Is it a coin flip that we have ten fingers and ten toes and that's why we use base ten for our numbers? Sure, maybe (although it's worth noting that the religious perspective, which this system was deliberately made in opposition to is that that isn't random), but at that level we can say that about literally everything in every aspect of human society. That doesn't mean its not worth looking at some of the more immediate causes.
