It's not just for text based stuff, although that is a good reason. Ideally, it should be used for all websites if at all possible, for reasons such as:
Websites going down (which is what happened with this Stone Toss comic), stuff being stealth edited (or in the case of a certain One Angry Gamer list, taken down altogether with no warning), and for another object of personal contention relating to posts here, twitter posts and/or accounts just going <poof> and being left wondering what was said because they posted a raw link and not an archive.
Finally, as an honorable mention, archives can, if timed correctly, not only be used to preserve history, but also act as evidence of what we used to have prior to clown world.
not sure why it's so hard to archive.
FTFY. Screenshots can be faked, and are far too often posted without a verifiable source these days.
I've come to truly despise so called "one of the good ones" liberals.
They turned a blind eye and ran interference for the radicals as they dismantled society, turned the law of the land on its head, and completely destroyed the moral fabric of what used to be American Civilization TM. They then have the audacity to not only claim they didn't know that this is what would have happened, but then outright deny any responsibility in letting it happen in the first place. When all is said and done, deep down most of them agree with the long term goals of Marxism, only giving a superficial disagreement toward the methods used.
There is no "far Left", there is only THE Left, and their "moderate" comrades can go <fedpost> alongside the peopledemons that perpetrated this.
Fair enough. It's just for all I think I know, and all the lessons I've learned post-GG1, there is a lot I still need to unlearn having been put through the CA education system as a child and teen (particularly in the history department).
Black people in America would not have as many issues today if it wasn't for Welfare.
Ehh... I'm not so sure of that anymore...
I saw a newspaper clipping from the 1950s (and I'm kicking myself for not saving it to my computer) that showed crime statistics by race, which if true, potentially paints black crime as always having been a problem.
The stat it showed was (going off of memory here) despite being 10% of the population at the time, they made up 50% of all arrests. Maybe you could put that down to pre-1960s discrimination, but after having the misfortune of witnessing what felt like hours of on the ground footage of the 2020 riots as they happened, everything is in question.
Fun Fact: The Hebrew wikipedia article (machine translated) for the Samson Option has a lot more to say compared to the English version of the article.
Disguised? Maybe if this were still 2012, but they have been fully embracing it without fear of repercussions since at least 2020 (that's when it became obvious for me, anyway).
This is especially the case during the 2020 election between the outright sainthood of Fentanyl Floyd (and, oh boy, did God take notice), the logo to the Democrat Primary debate being a pentagram, and even the text number the Biden campaign used was satanic in nature (2020 divided by 666 equals 3.0330).
John Doyle also has a 1h23m long video on the subject that lays it out better than I could, if you are interested in more info.
They all have the same root (Marx) and the same end result(death and destruction), but let's not pretend that they are all one and the same.
Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism (and by extension, the modern CCP), Nazism, and Fascism, while similar in many respects, also all have distinct characteristics from each other.
All I am asking for is that the facts be made clear however they are approached, whether historically, politically, ideologically, or philosophically. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Can we at least agree on that?
We are on the same page, although...
But yeah, the facts don't really matter to the left.
Not to the left, no. I just want the normies to wake up to what has been happening right under everybody's noses. There are pockets here and there popping up with local school boards, but it is just not the critical mass required to truly begin to fix things (and that is IF repair is at all possible at this juncture).
They are the SA they claim they are resisting.
No personal offense to you, but I wish the "muh Antifa/Democrats are duh real nazis" boomer meme would die already. They aren't nazis, they are communist. They don't fly the swastika, they fly the hammer and sickle, the black fist, and circled "A".
They are much closer to the Chinese Communist Red Guard than they are the SA (and Antifa were most likely the same group to fight the SA on the streets pre-1933).
This is one of the things that slowly turned me off to Razorfist. Post-2016, one of the things he frequently went on about was gatekeeping gaming from the left... only to turn around to buy and stream Battletech (2018), which, among other problems, was woke to the point that you couldn't make a normal white person in the character creator while simultaneously making one the main villain.
I'll spare you from having to read an entire essay, but the TL;DR of it is I watched him from his beginnings (or close enough, he started on Youtube in 2011, I found him in 2012), watched his channel grow, and eventually watched him fall (as a person, not necessarily his channel just yet) and eventually decided enough was enough.
I don't know, I'd say He has been pretty active recently if this is of any indication... or this... or the Euphrates River drying up as prophesied in the Book of Revelation (quoted below).
And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. -Revelation 16:12 KJV
Let me emphasize that never in my life did I expect something so major to be fulfilled, let alone from that book of the Bible. All I'll say for now is get right with God while you still can (this last bit is not necessarily addressed to you, but in general).
He is every single thing they accused Trump of doing times ten.
Including the charge of killing peoples' grandparents. Case in point: My grandpa didn't die naturally, he was isolated and ventilated, murdered by the California medical system (a view my mom agrees with).
Combined with the highly restrictive mask + social distancing policies that kept me cooped up at home for over 2 years (basically shut out of society for having autism and severe asthma), nothing less than <fedpost> would satisfy the seething anger I have for him and what was once my home.
On that same note, my boomer dad apologized to me around that same time, recognizing and lamenting that I wouldn't get to experience the USA as he did (although he has since gone full Q-Anon to cope with the shock).
Best part of any of this is how much Floridians have no clue what I am talking about.
The same could be said for most non-Californians. Even before the COVID nonsense, I speak from personal experience when I say that even if you laid it all out for someone, they could never truly grasp 1) just how horrific things really were on the ground over there, and 2) how quickly it could spread to their own state if unchecked.
I'm more partial toward "Gruesome Newsom", as it better conveys his true believer fanaticism for the Leftist Cause TM. On top of the lockdowns and medical policies which he has blood on his hands for (alongside then NY Governor Anthony Cuomo), he took vengeance on the CA populace for daring to recall him, which failed (if only barely) due to fraud even worse than 2020.
I'm talking counties reporting upwards of 100%-150% voters counted, with one county in particular reporting ~3000% (that is not an exaggeration). There were also reports at the time of voting machines (yes, I know) not working, but only in Republican heavy districts. All the stops were pulled out to keep his ass in power.
that doesnt accept anyone except full blood Japanese as being Japanese
They actually go further than that. Even full blooded Japanese born abroad (for example, in Brazil where they are a sizable minority) are not fully welcome.

Thai lady boys aren't just a meme, all stereotypes are based in a kernel of truth. Look into (or don't) Bangkok's Red Light District to see what I mean.
Star Fighter 3000: A somewhat arcadey sci-fi flight sim with a checkered history. Originally released for the Acorn Archimedes, it saw a release for the Panasonic 3DO, and later the PS1 and Sega Saturn. You flew around in your aircraft, and everytime you destroyed something, you could pick up colorful shapes that when they were arranged in a certain order resulted in power ups for your aircraft. PS1 version (via Duckstation) is easiest to get into emulation wise followed by the 3DO version (via RetroArch). Also, apparently the original Acorn version also received updates YEARS after it's original release, but good luck getting it to work if you have no experience with RISC OS (I tried for days to get it to work, but it all flew over my head, as the command prompt syntax was completely foreign to me even with slight experience in both MS-DOS and Linux Mint).
Space Hulk: Vengeance of the Blood Angels: Sequel to the original Space Hulk game for DOS and Amiga, it was originally released for the Panasonic 3DO and ported to the PS1, Saturn, and PC. It combines elements of both First Person Shooters and Turn Based Strategy, which along with the asymmetrical nature of the gameplay (5 or so slow Terminators vs swarms of lighting fast Genestealers), makes for a type of game that I have not seen repeated since. To this day, I hold the position that Space Hulk: Ascension and Space Hulk: Deathwing are two halves of what should be one big game.
SimCopter and Streets of SimCity: Both are fun but flawed games with troubled development histories. Their gameplay styles differed somewhat, but you could create a city from scratch in SimCity 2000, save it, then use it in either game (from the air or from the ground, respectively). Some mad lad even went out of their way to create patches so that they could run on modern machines with little to no issue.
I hope one of you had an archive, because it's gone.
Yeah... about that?
In my opinion, comedy isn't one of anime's strong suits, and only a few have seriously amused me. Those being things like KonoSuba and Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious.
You haven't happened to have seen Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, have you? The dialogue in the English dub is drastically changed compared to the original Japanese (by necessity), but it more than makes up for it with the Voice Actors taking the absurdity already present and just going to town with it.
Ask and you shall receive, Mr. Handshake.
Manchester: https://archive.ph/JC3il 9/11 hijackers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUpCuJK1e60
Considering this exact scenario has happened with the 9/11 hijackers, the Manchester Arena bomber, and possibly more that I've forgotten, for the same exact reasons, I lean heavily toward it being real.
I want more combat oriented flight sims. Ace Combat is one example, but sadly, there aren't that many more to pick from these days (w/o going retro, anyway).
There is also a notable lack of Mech games. Point to Gundam all you want, but I've always been a MechWarrior fan from childhood, and it's a travesty that Piranha Games Interactive still holds the exclusive rights after how they handled MechWarrior: Online. I went through the trouble of installing MechWarrior 3 on my modern computer again, workarounds and all, and it pains me that we'll never see a well needed remaster of the first 4 games (especially 3) because of legal limbo.
I also want a space sim, but of a particular type. To see what I mean, look no further than Derek Smart's Battlecruiser 3000 A.D., a game infamous for its bugs. If Derek Smart weren't such a thin skinned, egotistical, argumentative ass, then MAYBE, just maybe, we could have gotten a space sim that was truly advanced for its time. Instead, we got a game whose features are barely working, with frequent crashes and save corruptions, lacking in any sort of polish. If someone with the GamerGate Time Machine TM could get their hands on a version of BC3K, that lacking all else, had no crashes and save game corruptions, that would be nice.
Finally, I want to see more RTS-FPS hybrid games. One example I can think of is Battlezone 1998.
Transliterated, the apes(?) are saying "hou hou hou". It is a Japanese onomatopoeia for literal monkey noises represented in Japanese Katakana.
