With the power of pattern recognition, you will never need the news.
Coming out of the wikileaks era, Gamergate was another one of those weird moments where the curtain of what we thought to be reality was lifted and the devil with a finger then pressed to his blackened lips, said "shhhh~", and pulled it shut. No one else saw. We became bearers of a secret that very few people are aware of yet it is agonizingly within plain sight. The moment you see all of this and its interconnected socio-political/corporate entrails and identifiable historical patterns you can't believe it's actually happening and that they can't possibly just be ignoring all of it! You must show people the truth!
Then you recognize how much explaining you have to do, how short their attention spans are, the tiny timeslice of history they preoccupy mentally, how conditioned they already are, and how they ascertain the social value of even having these opinions... you begin to realize that a lot of their ideas of what is true is basically just a social game - catty political facebook memes elevate their social capital more than anything you have to say.
From then on, it's all pretty much just heavy indifference and crestfallen pattern recognition. Watch your tinfoil hat become a crown of clairvoyance and wisdom whenever you guess everything the news is going to say and everyone's designer opinion reaction verbatim without ever hearing a word of it to everyone's reluctant amazement. Sadly they will still dismiss you.
"Just be a decent fucking human being"
What a meaningless piece of rhetoric from a group of self-professed moral relativists. Playing on their own godless terms, everything within the game of nature/life seems to be about systemized models and how long and successfully these structures can hold together from the individual unit to the whole, usually that comes with some strong parameters of who fills what niche and how smoothly the foodchain operates within that ecosystem as the result of a number of very discriminatory processes - by this metric how successfully I can model a society can't always be about making everyone happy, comfortable, or accomodating people of an entirely seperate cultural egregore; my own structure tends to fall apart in doing so (because nature is brutal towards the permissive) granted, this tends to be their exact stated goal which is to "deconstruct" everything yet there doesn't seem to be an actual blueprint in mind. Maybe we're talking to the wrong chess pieces.
In anycase, my way, our way, has literally given these people the very concept of decency to bastardize and distort to begin with so it is important to set boundaries, and boundaries tend to start with "no".
"Just be a decent fucking human being" is like being commanded to watch the player character apply all of his buffs and save his game while you're still pathing along.
Just be permissive goy!
The characters looks were already changed into cartoon nonsense back when WoD came out.
I hated how weird and lippy the newer models were and how the run animations made everyone look like they suddenly developed aspergers syndrome. Never got past that.
Must they affix the soyface to everything?
Also, fuck off to your mudhut you greenskinned bastard. I preferred you at the end of my sword over having you so much as step a foot near my city, you filthy no good orc.
I sat upon a throne of many thousands of skeletons for the austerity of the glorious Alliance and to keep Stormwind pure of your malodorous and criminal kind. I haven't been around since MoP, but we were full then - I assume we are full now. Gtfo scrub. [slaps the camera out of orc-jack's soylent hands]
More than half of Stormwind is now racially diverse here's why that is a good thing! By Schlomowix Boltstein
Letting the one on the right in is synonymous with letting in the one on the left.
The problem with them is that they want to doubledown and persist within the shitty modern context without ever trying to change it.
If the kitchen was made more appealing to women, no one would then be able to peddle their ebooks and "war rooms". They are like a symbiote to the kudzu vines of progressive materialism that are strangling our better intentions.
Likewise, you can't live in lala land either. You really have to make a significant change in the world or continue to deal until dealt.
I think these things just tend to make headlines down there, and this'd just be another hat thrown in the lot what with the current trend of disclosures.
Not to say it isn't cool because it is, but again, maybe aliens are some strange extradimensional collective that through some strange use of entanglement materialize bodies just consistent enough for their practical purposes and dispose of them later - or this is some manner of mistaken acquisition/hoax.
If you watch the video they actually show the internal scans
I've seen more convincing and anatomically consistent practical effects from Tool's stopmotion music videos.
but it has been there for a 1000 years
I don't know if I believe that. Call it a hunch. If they recently dredged these up and started dating and testing inanimate objects from a dusty mine I'm sure they could come up with all kinds of fucky numbers if you're using the wrong method on the wrong thing.
It's really painful to watch. All of the central authorities of who gets to call themselves what and who gets funded along with all of their dignitaries are probably well onboard with this bullshit too - anywhere there is money, there is GAY.
Banning them will do approximately fuck all since vpns exist and this will just move them to other unfamiliar handles. It should be reserved for those spamming and whatnot.
The only thing I might suggest is a more expansive block or filtering option.
"COME ON GUYS WE'RE TRAD AND BASED!"
You planted the seeds of faggotry in our educational system and now the kudzu vines of globohomo are strangulating your non-gmo garden.
I neither condemn or support you, nor do I cheer on the trespasses of either side. My indifference towards both entities in this conflict however, is quite earned.
I think you'd be underestimating the polarities gen z and late-millenials have been exposed to with regards to how questions tend to be framed and loaded including this one if you thought this was some face value assessment of any ond person's view of personal liberties. In essence, the way this is framed is that being opposed is synonymous with supporting abuse, and immediately becomes an accusation that lowers social capital. That 33% has been conditioned think the two are interchangeable when asked this question.
Ergo, the real question is "Would you relinquish your privacy to end abuse? Do you value your privacy more than battered women?". The figure of 33% should surprise no one.
I MADE IT THE FUCK UP!
