hey what's the big problem with including pronouns tho??
What is this, 2014? Interviewer is a faggot and interviewee is soft. Not interested in this milquetoast shit any more.
Uncastrated Yahtzee might mention how this game was co-written by SweetBaby. No hard feelings but there's no room in the culture war for those firing rubber bullets. Bye.
If a new Transformers or some other cinematic boondoggle flopped and got laughed at for doing so, King wouldn't give a shit. He's defending a movie he doesn't like because he knows it contains propaganda he does like.
La Haine, 1995.
It's tough to say I'm actively reading it, since I keep stalling and restarting, but I saw you mention you're into mysticism so I thought it worth mentioning that I'm reading Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt by John Anthony West. West was one of the researchers who helped to demonstrate that there seems to have been water erosion around parts of the Sphynx enclosure. His general thesis is that the core belief systems of ancient Egypt are far more comparable and overlapping with systems like hermeticism, esotericism, pythagoreanism, numerology, etc. than mainstream egyptologists and historians are inclined to admit, and that these elements are encoded into the architecture and writing. His seething sideswipes, aimed at the mainstream, imply that their wilful ignorance helps them avoid awkward questions about the relative sophistication of the tech in early Egyptian dynasties compared to the latter ones.
So in general it falls into the bucket of 'Atlantean woo-woo', but on the other hand West never actually goes that far, rather keeping his focus on what he sees as evidence-based examples of overlooked spiritual and architectural practices. From what I've read and seen of the man he was somewhat of a genius, but he has a rambling style full of his own subjective assertions (and as mentioned, he was seething a bit) so it makes it hard to stay focused on what his point is. Hence the stalls and restarts.
Also reading Jewish History, Jewish Religion The Weight Of Three Thousand Years by Israel Shahak, as linked elsewhere on this board. Insightful.
I haven't actually finished a book for a long time now but I suppose the last one was Against Method by Paul Feyerabend. Absolutely critical reading for those curious about how science got so stupid recently. Essentially, social institutions which present themselves as the most rational and dispassionate paths to knowledge are, due to the very way they work, myopic and insulated against the ability or inclination to discover critical new knowledge. Feyerabend argues this pretty much irrefutably, to my view. So it's about the philosophy and epistemology embedded in 'science' as a concept. I've heard it's best as a companion piece for Kuhn's better-known The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, though I haven't read the latter and feel Against Method stands fine on its own. Good for getting insight into epistemology in general, also it has parallels with Serpent in the Sky, since West's view was that he was dealing with an inflexible orthodoxy that had no ability to process new information rationally.
finally emerging
She's top right in this image I saved in 2021. The culprit for all these mysterious 'short illnesses' was already obvious by then, as was the shamefully transparent conspiracy by the media to cover it up.
If somebody knew about this woman and weren't calling out her death as vaxx poisoning from day one, they're complicit. End of. These cowards don't get to start coming round now, complaining only about one jab (the least frequently taken one), in very limited terms ('oh but we know it still saved lots of lives...') and get granted a loudspeaker to run this narrative. Fuck off. Mouth shut, back of the queue! Unless it's the queue to go up against the wall.
I've seen him promote it. Curious what will happen.
He's a well-meaning moron, passionate enough to be well-furnished with arguments against Islam and those deflecting attention from muslim rape gangs - too dumb to comprehend any of the longer perspectives on Israel.
If I was there I'd be tempted to go anyway and pump the numbers, but best to stand at a plausibly deniable distance. Leave your phone at home, wear a covid mask, shades, hoodie, walk with a limp. Unless you have a limp then don't.
Anyone playing with an English VO for Kiryu deserves the shittiest performance imaginable. I support Yong Yea (who?) in every one of his cringey scuffed lines I will never hear.

you don't know what a burned car looks like
I can't believe you took the time to post that Kenosha vid. Not a single one of the cars in that footage is totally crushed and flattened like the ones clearly torn to bits by heavy arms fire in Israel. Not one. By all means screen cap one that's equally damaged to the same extent as any of the burnt cars in my linked vid.
You deliberately ignore the examples of random shredded unburnt cars hit by autocannons too, because now you've resorted to naked dishonesty. Whether that's because of your embarrassment or vested interest is up to you, it's of no interest to me.
So he says, offering no evidence of his own of 3-4 figure civilian massacres from hamas and refuting none of the evidence indicating Israel opened fire on its own people, undermining the whole narrative.
Since you're enthusiastic about evidence here's more:
'I'm on the phone with a family that is in the MMD, there are terrorists inside their house, they are locked inside the MMD. Our forces haven't had time to reach this settlement yet, and I've already run out of missiles there.' , which is the more accurate weaponry. I decide to shoot a cannon 30 meters from this house, a very difficult decision. I shoot so that if they are now there, they will hear the explosions inside the house, that they will realize that they know they are there, and hopefully they will get out of this house.'
Yasmin Porat, a survivor of the bloodshed at Kibbutz Be’eri, near the boundary with Gaza, says many Israeli civilians were killed by Israeli forces.
An Israeli woman who survived the Hamas assault on settlements near the Gaza boundary on 7 October says Israeli civilians were “undoubtedly” killed by their own security forces.
It happened when Israeli forces engaged in fierce gun battles with Palestinian fighters in Kibbutz Be’eri and fired indiscriminately at both the fighters and their Israeli prisoners.
“They eliminated everyone, including the hostages,” she told Israeli radio. “There was very, very heavy crossfire” and even tank shelling.
The proclivity to shoot their own has even been enshrined in policy as per the Hannibal Protocol
The Hannibal Directive (Hebrew: נוהל חניבעל) (or "Procedure" or "Protocol") is a controversial procedure used by Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to prevent the capture of Israeli soldiers by enemy forces. The directive was revoked in 2016, to be replaced by a new directive of unknown content.
The directive has been changed several times. At one time, the formulation was that "the kidnapping must be stopped by all means, even at the price of striking and harming our own forces."
You subject the IDF's story to less scrutiny and accountability than even direct survivors of your precious atrocity do. Of the two of us you're clearly the more likely to respond to orders from across the internet, so be a good golem and keep yours to yourself.
Your seething anger should be a clue to you that you know you're insecure or lying. I'll bet you didn't see a single video of anyone opening up indiscriminately on civilians, because I scrolled threads full of wargore for that weekend and out of dozens of videos I saw something like 4 videos which might qualify - 3 of hamas shooting out civvie cars in motion (something IDF chopper pilots also documented themselves doing ) and one of an unarmed guy shot in the head at a distance. The rest were obviously IDF.
In comparison, I saw lots and lots of hysterical raging maniacs like you claim they saw evidence of massacre, evidence of women raped to death, videos of israeli babies tossed around like footballs... wow normies have incredible access to unfiltered snuff these days, I guess, moreso than me. Or else they're exhibiting the typical overactive imaginations and susceptibility to manipulation that has characterised the last 3 years, spectacularly.
How many fucking "handfuls" is that you fucking retard?
Nowhere close to adding up to 1400, but the numbers don't matter to you, only your pathetic right to indignation does.
I'm gonna need you to show me where I ever claimed that the 40 decapitated babies story was true
When Israel puts out something that undermines its own narrative, it requires motivated reasoning to act like it doesn't undermine the entire narrative. When you state that 'hamas showed' anything that vindicates the Israel narrative, you imply it validates the entire narrative. Fact is you haven't got anything that confims the level of civilian death that Israel claims and you ignore plenty of evidence that nothing from the Israel side has been honest. All those 'kids [with] tons of family and friends around them' (and smartphones), and they stopped filming the paragliders at the exact moment they or their friends got shot.
Oh wait you do have something that points to the claimed death toll, you have testimony of gunship pilots saying they couldn't distinguish between civvie and terrorist and you have footage of ridiculous numbers of cars clearly shot up by gunships. Noooow we start to get more plausible hypotheses as to how a lot of people could have died. I'm not the only one who thinks so and it would answer the question that dispassionate, highly rational geniuses like yourself have apparently forgot to ask, which is what the hell was the IDF air support doing while hamas were paragliding through the skies with impunity.
That's a car fire you idiot.
Yeah, that impact crater surrounded by cars which appear to have been shot up and pushed back by a blast, probably just a fire that spread, true. These unburnt smashed up cars were probably just parked really hastily by ravers in a rush to get out and party. Don't I feel like a fool.
Why are you not talking about atrocities?!
Because I choose not to, stupid bitch. I'm not talking about gaza getting bombed out indiscriminately, am I.
reee you're a dumbo, you have personal failings
Lmao are you a woman? Why am I supposed to care about this shit, are we on a date? I couldn't give less of a fuck about the moral or intellectual endorsement of someone who looks at this situation then comes to the unquestioning conclusions you do.
Hamas showed us.
They showed us the act of killing a handful of probably unarmed civilians, many more armed IDF, shooting at a lot of distant targets or inanimate objects, and they showed us them moving hostages.
You were already rightfully chewed out for the babies story, but reminder to everyone that there's no good evidence for hamas killing 250+ concertgoers or several hundred other civilians either. When did Hamas 'show us' their act of destroying all these cars for example? They did that with small arms fire and petrol cans? Or did they waste a grenade on each car (apparently exploding them all on the roofs, to crush them)?
Good read. Fascinatingly shortsighted on Churchill's part, that he wasn't able to see any of the potential monkey's paw curses that could arise from wholesale ethnostate-craft. Did he think that the Bolshevik influence of international Jewry (as he defines it - not me) would just die with the founding of Israel? That they wouldn't synergise as a foreign policy extension of the new state? Hard to fathom the thinking of these times. Hindsight's 20/20 sure, but that flies as an excuse when I screw up a move in Civ, not so much for those who eagerly play with the fates of actual nations.
My familiarity is mostly Sega 16 bit. Toejam & Earl (1 more than 2, for me, but many love both), Bonanza Bros, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage series would be my picks... couldn't hurt to have some head to head puzzle games on there, maybe Puyo Puyo 2 for 16 bit/arcade or Bust-a-Move 2 (emulate on PS1, Saturn or arcade for that I think), maybe Super Puzzle Fighter.
This vid seems to have its head screwed on right for megadrive suggestions, since all my favourites are in there, at least, although there's tons I haven't tried. I notice it also includes WWF Raw as a recommendation. This made me realise that for some of the best coop games ever, it would be great if your device could run the N64 AKI developed wrestling games, 'WCW vs NWO World Tour', 'WCW/nWo Revenge' and 'WWF WrestleMania 2000' - pick any one of those (they're very similar; I posted the release order, so in theory they improve slightly with each release but I spent most of my time with either the first or second game). Ofc as you noted, N64 emulation is quite uneven, so you'd have to test how they run. Also for games that utilise the entire N64 pad, it might bump up the number of buttons you include. 6 face buttons, 2 bumpers, an extra stick besides the dpad... that's a lot of buttons that might not even be covered by a stick + 8-button arcade setup. Shame, but those wrestling games are great games - not just competitive in coop, you can do friendly tag, royal rumble, create-a-wrestler, etc.
Since you have TMNT arcade in there, the sequel Turtles in Time as well as the Simpsons arcade beat em up (konami I think) are other great games in that vein. There's a wealth of arcade sidescrolling beat em ups which you could pad out the library with and it's difficult to know which ones to pick. You could start with the games listed in the Capcom Beat Em Up Collection on Steam:
Final Fight, Captain Commando, The King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, Warriors of Fate, Armored Warriors, Battle Circuit
I've played a few minutes of most of those but I only know Battle Circuit and Final Fight. Battle Circuit is fondly remembered. Another one that gets a lot of love is Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. Then there's Sunset Riders, but I can't vouch for it personally.
Only problem is that a lot of games in this arcade beat em up vein accommodate 4 player and 4 player party style play is where they shine. The best ones are probably great with just 2 people but some of the more mediocre ones might feel a bit hamstrung without the option of 4 player madness.
If your gift recipients don't mind getting their asses kicked then you can't go far wrong throwing in all the Metal Slug series or even some of the Contra games.
This is a heartwarming bonfire in the ruins of the west. US/Canada trannifa getting burnt on the exploding ammo. These chav-lims nauseate me but the others are invaders of a different order.
'He's trying to tell children that they are not allowed to be' crack voice 'tra-ans.' '....Yeah they're not' hahaha The funny thing is there are probably places where this script can work. 'YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, HE IS BADDIE, I AM ALLY,' can probably work on girls, depending on area, but London muzbitches are just too truculent and obnoxious, far too eager for a fight. I like to con myself that it can be boiled down to principle but it's basically Londoners being cunts. Anyway cheerful spectacle.
There wasn't one. But that's a feature, not a bug. It's normalisation through repetition. The more she says it, the better the argument becomes, literally.
Nothing is intrinsically feminist. Feminism is completely inorganic.
Book looks very interesting, thanks. Talmudic influence on policy and behaviour, analysed by a 'self-hating' jew, aka an actual holocaust survivor who wasn't following the script.
Funnily enough, the British version of this (Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006) got started at a similar time, after the 7/7 bombings in London, when muslims were not the favourite pets of the establishment. Labour politicians were in fact not very shy with their terror paranoia rhetoric, instructing muslim parents to keep an eye on their children and inform on them if they were being radicalised. The parallel at the moment in America is that they're unhappy with muzzies sympathising with Hamas and standing up against zionism.
This is the timing they use. The 'Racial and Religious Hatred Act' couldn't be any more perfectly named - it makes much more sense if you realise it's designed to cause those things. They bring this shit in at the same time as the group in question is particularly unpopular (and angry at their own unpopularity), which serves to temporarily keep them sweet and obedient due to their special treatment, while making everyone else feel (correctly) that white people are second class citizens. I used to think this was just hamfisted attempts at mollification by clueless politicians, these days I see it as deliberate racial agitation. Hanlon's razor always goes in the trash from now on.
The 'offending' video that the guy posted of his neighbourhood is from Bethnal Green in London, which is minority White and heavily muslim.
sees the cultural tide change
"...whoops, hehe. Don't lynch me, I was just following science orders."
WTF I love the zionist american uniparty now
One of their writing-adjacent services is 'sensitivity reading' which is literally 'plz check my work to make sure it's woke enough'.
Again this is a feature, not a bug, of the feminist concept of 'objectification'. Except perhaps in the context of sex trafficking, men don't treat women as inanimate chattel. It's not a thing that happens at all except through feminist manipulation of language. 'Object' can mean whatever they want it to mean as long as it they get to push this false concept to demonise male heterosexual desire.
