it references a still existent dog breed.

It wasn’t concord or dust born tier ultra woke, but the main character was a racial ambiguous broccoli sidecut nu-male.

Just because it wasn’t a hamplanet zim/zer doesn’t mean people didn’t smell the woke. It wasn’t unreasonable

Rumours of a Titanfall sequel swirl, a highly anticipated somewhat cult game. For those of us who played it and titanfall 2, yeah 2 may well be the best game to exist.

With those rumours floating around. At the end of the game awards, an important slot, Geoff gets up to announcing something special, a new fps, "releasing in just a month, and from the team that brought you titanfall 2". The hype is real!? Could it finally be? After all these years?! And then it cuts to reveal the most generic hero shooter you've ever seen complete with vaguely ethnic main character man with that sidecut. It was even called highguard. Overwatch. High=over, guard=watch.

It wasn't concord bad, that at least was funny. This was more boring. In the designs, and in the gameplay by all accounts, huge prep time, and it was 3v3 on massive maps making it drag.

I think this might be unique to you and your brother mate.

contrarian reaction slop.

I've got some theories.

Music genres in top popular spots generally have 1-2 gen lifespan. And then it's kept in stasis by the people who experienced it when they were 14-24, then their tastes freeze.

Funk died, Punk died, Disco died, grunge died, emo died, Rap is finally dying.

As they die, they can spawn subgenres and subtypes that if they become popular enough, replace the old and give it a few more years or even a whole 2nd run, but the genre as a whole is still doomed to eventual death. It's the way of the world. Rock had a few good waves maybe, or is it just such a broad term that we're looking at waves of essentially a different thing, like with pop. Either way, it's just that rock had it's time, that's all there is to it.

There's other patterns, the genres get gentrified by normies, corporatized, the old guard is chased out, the music itself gets sanitised for public consumption, then stops being cool (we're all familiar with that trend in media). At the same time, you get this pattern where there are niches doing the exact opposite, nasal gazing from up their own arses, just pushing weird technically complex stuff that is hard to listen-to without spending 3 years weaning yourself onto it and acquiring a taste for it, and it just keeps spiralling into further experimentation and complexity, they get artsy and pretensious about it. Which also gives it a bad name.

You're also seeing a massive streaming lead diversification in music. You can now easily go down whatever rabbit hole you want, while tv and radio are at an all time low. I want to go down some energetic dark-synth line or big-band stuff? I can, with almost no effort. And soon I'll be able to just generate it on demand. I don't like the sound of ai stuff atm, but it's what the young are hearing and being exposed to. Like with mp3s for us, the issues with that sound is what they end up actually liking, the general pop will probably like mushy lyrics and static in the high end that ai tends to make, while the more dedicated music fans will all each be off in their own little subgenres, far more than was possible before.

All the big old oak trees are dying, being replaced with a field of 1000 different shrubs, grasses and flowers.

If you were in grade school in the 2000s, you were liking music from the 70s, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin - through the 90s.

Yeah I like pink floyd, because it's what my dad would always put on. And of the 2 tv channels and 4 (basically) radio channels, he'd have that stuff on. That's not a thing or a constraint anymore.

Also, the facebook phenomena. Grandma is on facebook, and it is associated with grandma and grandpa. Boomers are uncool, and so therefore is their music. How many are going to enjoy going to see AC/DC struggle around on stage today, next to more boomers as compared to some scene where it's all their same aged peers. Which is my final point, the live performances now, they aren't what they used to be.

When done well, the most effective of the rules for radicals.

Well either you're wrong or there are a lot of basketcases to make this the number 1 use already.

Therapy is a 'sacrament' of the left now.

I might not have either.

I don't let the woke communists dictate my language, even in reaction because that still gives them control over me. I grew up not capitalising either, which is probably an artefact of the 90s race-blindness nonsense. But as it is the way I grew up, unless it's traditional, I'm unlikely to change.

How did they do it pre enlightenment?

Dump the migrants here, the ones who wont go home, in the ukraine

Fuck that place.

I mean to help rebuild it of course, selflessly donate our own beautiful human capital who are enriching our countries, so as to help poor ukrain.

the farms too

But these can be counted on one hand.

a gamma male fantasy.

“I’m his therapist.”

Oh wow, that's bad. Might well be the gayest line imaginable. Woulda been less gay to just kingdom-cum-in-my-ass the character.

Also an aunt of me got diagnosed with possible cancer. by the time the oncologist met her - 18 months - the cancer had metastized to phase 4.

Ah the secret MAID the public system has been running for decades.

Lol a lady in canada was recently MAIDed against her will

Oooooh yeah, the woman who after 1h after definitively stating it was against her beliefs. So much shit the last few weeks, I'd forgotten that.

Go down swinging at least mate.

in getting MAID'd

Or being French?

It's inevitable that the more left of that population see they can secure their vote by expanding the franchise out.

It can never work long term.

so he'd get MAID'd, gotcha.

He could also just be French though.

What's the cost?

I remember pet medicine being something like 10x cheaper than human. Or was that just for scans? And how does that cost compare to getting a new dog of some expensive breed?

I think it's also the previous flops that made this one have so many people

They all missed out on seeing concord, don't wanna miss concord 2

It goes without saying, I am sure that the latest group of faggot mods will, at the first taste of power, become the despots they have always dreamed of being. Pretty much their first act was to ban Impossible1 for the dumb shit he said.

And?

I was essentially his last defender. I wanted him back for ages. I still wanted him gone by the end. He's too far gone and was shitting up the place.

Wait, you can store your bitlocker passwords, on microsoft's cloud?

Well that's just retarded.

I'm not fool enough to think the system is foolproof or doesn't have some other backdoor, but that's just leaving your keys under your doormat levels of security.

All taxes are bad.

Property tax on unimproved value with a generous lower exclusion, for your primary residence (let's say it's only the top 10%, letting you go be a hermit in peace and never be bothered), is the least bad other than tarrifs, minor sin taxes and direct fees for services.

3d printers (and the like, cnc) are the real threat, and that's what they're going after while we are all distracted.

Like I said, I'm not playing.

People need to look into psychological games (transactional analysis), the big famous one 'why don't you - yes but'. It's basically when you have two people, and one has a problem, the other offers takes on a solution giving role, but each solution just gets shot down as somehow unworkable. And it gets repeated. Every single solution gets a "yes, but..." answer.

There's two main times you'll see it being played

Women play that game a lot, they just wanna whinge and get 'sympathy', not actually have the thing solved.

Depressed people play it too, in a sicker, more pathological form (sorry imp). It's clear that tcd isn't actually looking for advice to act on. What he's looking to do is shoot down advice, and in so doing justify his state and belief that everything is helpless. Each bit of advice you give him that he is able to reject as somehow unworkable just serves to further reinforce his sick belief.

You're in a depressive spiral. Go take up a martial art.

That won't give me a social life or give me back my youth.

It's retarded. We can all plainly see that of course it helps with getting a social life. And it might not literally restore youth but getting fitter does absolutely get you feeling and looking younger and give you more time down the track. In a vacuum it's good advice. Like the jogging. I don't think there is a single man here who doesn't think the same, and doesn't know it would at least help. But that's not what he's here to do. He's here to shoot down your advice.

So my advice to you all, is to stop playing. Don't let yourself be manipulated by depressed people. It takes two people to play this game, and nobody ends up better after doing it. He ends up more convinced its all helpless, and you end up frustrated and fatigued.
