One critical component of solution 2 is that it goes hand in hand with exporting the aggrieved mohammedan survivors out of the middle east and into our own neighbourhoods. Asmongoloid's normieshit "IDGAF" opinion quickly becomes "wow I suddenly care a lot and support option 3", pass the collection bucket for Israel, rinse and repeat until WW3.
Anyone who would willingly identify themself as a 'doctor' or 'scientist' in the wake of the pandemic should have the same stigma as if they call themselves a pedophile or niggerfaggot.
edit: this post is not a joke. there is nothing I believe as sincerely as this
The entire game is muh 'waycizm bad', from top to bottom. You've got equal odds hoping for Ghost of Yotei not to be pozzed (ie. hopeless).
People are responding about recency bias commanding women's preferences, but I think that's wrong. Men want a New Thing to be excited about just as much as women, they just no longer have it because the entertainment industry has stopped providing it - in the case of Hollywood they've stopped entirely and in gaming, almost entirely.
'Men=Mars, Women=Venus' is just the surface level takeaway from this. I think what it shows is the danger of ceding ground in the culture war because of some perception that the medium is beneath you. Subversives don't see any medium as beneath their attention for propaganda insertion. Yet on the right you sometimes get the kind of ideological advice which emphasises real world pragmatism at the expense of any pursuit of the imagination.
Books? stick with non-fiction, educate yourself or get some self-improvement done
Games? those are toys bro, how old are you
movies? shit will rot your brain, maybe watch an oldie now and then
We should celebrate the possibilities of fiction and imaginative pursuits or else this is what we get.
In the end we get this landscape where it's seen as entirely acceptable that men have no option if they want to indulge their imagination, except to watch propagandistic slop for women and children or else delve 60 years into the past. Most men, out of convenience, are not going to do that, so they opt for the slop - because everyone wants to be told a story sooner or later - and if something is merely 50% propaganda rather than 100%, they end up swallowing it down and celebrating the fact that they weren't totally poisoned just now. I think that contributes massively to how the overton window shifts. Concepts of honour, heroism, justice, loyalty, tradition, etc. are a completely forgotten currency, because we're left with no modern vector to hear about them. Incidentally I think this is also how Ghost of Tsushima slipped under the radar and won praise from men despite shitting all over those values, because 'slashy samurai man cool' and 'well you gotta play something'.
'You gotta play/read/watch something' is true and it's always going to win as an impulse, over sentiments like 'why aren't you lifting weights and learning about crop rotation in preparation for the ethnostate, brother?'
I generally let them breeze by me without caring too much about anime openings since they don't cater to my tastes, but if you like rock/punk then I have a soft spot for the opening of Uchouten Kazoku (or full version ). Seems like it would be fun to drum.
If there weren't enough reasons to be sceptical of enriching R*, the min specs for this clearly older game are actually higher than those for RDR2. To hell with this needless spec bloat.
As someone points out in the replies, the right hand pic is from 2018 so it's dumb and misleading to stick the game titles on the pics as if there was a shift. The reality is that Ghost of Tsushima was an incredibly feminist-contaminated game and Sucker Punch has been a virtue signalling, "Look at our women!"-type studio for a long time.
Reminder that Ubisoft Creative Director Palle Hoffstein was involved in trying to dox Mombot.
That's some old GG lore. I already had boycotted Ubisoft for about 7 years prior to that. This company has always been absolute fucking cancer.
I wouldn't have a clue, but my gut says no - hardcore has more of a lineage with NYC, with bands like Agnostic Front. I looked up Evergreen Terrace and they're pretty similar despite being generations apart.
Now someone not into metal might listen to those and think whatever... it's loud and they're shouting, it's metal. Not really though. Metal Archives usually has your back in figuring out what a band is.
The first time I really chewed over this phenomenon is when I heard it said of Tony Blair, from politicians who knew him, that he was somebody who could convince himself of anything. When you combine this with a manipulative personality who selectively - even if unconsciously - picks the truths he wants to believe and pass on to others, you get a master manipulator.
Also on the offchance that you really will benefit from instructions on how to wipe your own arse:
trace this thread back up to its parent comment from ger111. there you will find a link to an image hosted on catbox. it's a giant nosed, allleged jew holding a plushie with no giant nose. I fixed the plushie for accuracy, as I facetiously said in the original link.
Now if you CAN'T see that link, you have confirmed for yourself that something is blocking you from seeing catbox links. congratulations in that case of having confirmed you needlessly removed my dumb little link twice now. now fuck off. btw don't you dare remove that link too pretending that it's non-working. obviously everybody else in this comment chain can see it.
What the FUCK are you talking about? You can see it with your OWN FUCKING EYES or else FIX YOUR FUCKING INTERNET. I've also spelt out what it is in plain words in a previous post - it's my having drawn a big nose on ger111's plushie pic in MSpaint, now get the fuck out of my inbox and stop interrogating me you insufferable cunt
It's not metal, it's hardcore and metalcore, no matter how anyone presents the story including the bands or promoters themselves. Even the Simp Rock Palace framed this as 'Four Hardcore Bands Exit'. They might be the biggest hardcore band in the world, but I wouldn't know because I only know metal and they're not a metal band.
The distinction is important because the scenes are very different. 'Hardcore' doesn't mean 'really really hardcore brutal metal' or anything like that, it means hardcore punk. 'Metalcore' means hardcore punk with metal elements. The difference is reflected in the fans. In contrast to metal, where you get a vast plurality of mostly down to earth people, of all ages, for -core bands you get a bunch of commie faggots, mostly. Either very young ones or leftist crusties living in the past, still imagining themselves as college students in Che shirts. The type who probably also still love Rage Against the Machine and think they're subversive.
So with that said, it's BIZARRE that a fest like this would book Rittenhouse. This is the organiser's statement:
The Antihero Podcast, shared a statement on Instagram announcing the lineup change: “We have been silent. But we are prepping. The liberal mob attempted to destroy Shell Shock. But we will not allow it. This is now about more than a concert. This is a war of ideology.”
The liberal mob? The fans of the bands you booked ARE a liberal mob lmao. It could be one of the hen's tooth right wing punks, setting out to try and reclaim some ideological ground in the scene, or it could be some kind of based organiser deliberately sabotaging things, by doing something he accurately predicted several bands would throw a fit in response to.
So the way this is being reported now, as a kind of 'look how unpopular Rittenhouse is among metallers' story, is fantasy and probably damage control. A bunch of faggot lefty bands in a faggot lefty scene somehow (perhaps as part of a clever trap) found themselves on the same bill as a guy who shot antifa child molesters. And they removed themselves in support of trannifa. It's a non-story or a funny one, but it isn't about metal in the slightest.
amish reposted it right there above you, same file and link. don't worry about it at this stage
I think it's great as is. I welcome the info overload and accept that I can't give an equal amount of attention to each link. Anything I don't get to read which might have interested me, that's my failing of discernment or dedication.
I sympathise with those who are worried that we're losing good discussion points in the overload... but isn't that just life itself.
I call bullshit since I also checked my phone and typed in the url manually. I also just checked a second browser I never use on my phone which makes a total of 5 browsers across 2 devices it all worked on. If you're having a problem with catbox as a site you should also have a problem with the guy I'm replying to, well?
Let the record show the only time I've had a post removed in 3+ years was for drawing a big nose on a plushie in mspaint. You people really are your own worst enemy.
This is organised damage control. I skimmed /v/ a little the other day and the lefty complaints about 'American puritans' (ie. conservatives) were too uniform for this deflection to be coincidence, about mistranslating the word 'puritan'.
Absolutely nobody believes the censorship of Japanese content is coming from conservatives. The shonen jump guy is mixing in his experiences from 30 years ago and in the next breath Yuji Horii mentions Type A/Type B bodies and says 'who's complaining about this? I don't know'. Yet the defence is somehow AkShUlY tHeY mEaNt CoNsErVaTiVeS.
What? works on my machine, even on different logged out browsers with nothing in the cache, as well as for the 7 other people who see it.
I've gradually come to settle on the idea that some form of panpsychism is the best fit for the phenomenon of consciousness. It opens up the possibility that consciousness is a field phenomenon or a latent potential existing in all of what we would traditionally consider to be inanimate matter.
Except for certain figures like Philip Goff and Donald Hoffman etc. you don't see many scientists willing to wrestle with the concept of consciousness. (I have my problems with some of these guys' assumptions too, eg. I don't think the term 'simulation theory' is useful and I'm not convinced there is a 'hard problem' of consciousness at all.) But mainstream science is scared of examining it and has no idea how to. A thorough examination of consciousness might reveal that the phenomenon of consciousness differs even across the human race, including the revelation that people may operate at different levels of consciousness, thereby introducing the concept of people who are more human and less human according to the intuitive understanding that consciousness itself is what makes humans special. Very problematic.
Most scientists also don't want to think or talk about the possibility, even theoretical, of greater-than-human consciousness, even though if consciousness proceeds from a discoverable principle, and that principle depends purely on the arrangement of physical matter, then it should be axiomatic that matter can be arranged to optimise for consciousness. Hilariously, materialists accidentally end up in a very anthropocentric view of the universe when they instead take as axiomatic that we already represent that optimisation, and that possibilities for consciousness don't extend very far below or above the current human experience. I've also heard of technological singularity ideas getting angrily dismissed as 'creationism by the back door' by some scientists, because they anticipate the extrapolations and don't want to acknowledge any line of thinking that would challenge their atheist cred.
Whether or not extramission represents the best way to understand the way a consciousness entity comes together and starts to experience things, I don't know. It does however call to mind other spiritual ideas of how consciousness is constituted, such as the Buddhist simile of the chariot, if we hypothesise that our interactions with everything around us, including things we merely look at, are constituent parts of our consciousness in the same way that synaptic activity is, on a different level and scale. A conversation with another person could be considered a building block in a dual consciousness, where the information is bottlenecked through one extremely noisy, low bandwidth synapse.
The video also features a nasheed, a traditional Islamic form of music that is also used by Islamists. However, it is unclear whether the music is heard by those filming or whether it is coming from the attacker's vehicle.
Unintentionally darkly hilarious.
I guess I'm curious too, from the sounds of it. However I checked it out just now and got red flags immediately. You can 'preview' their selection which just means you get to see the docu trailers, I guess. At random I clicked the Wild West docu trailer, then within seconds a black woman was telling me just how diverse I never realised the Wild West was and black cowboys were telling me how they've been erased from history.
Personally I'll stick with schizos recording into their walmart microphones on Odysee.
The archer quest was where I first started smelling the stench. The conversations you have with the old archery sensei guy are textbook feminist crap. First of all, the woman is his best student ever, sorry Jin. But that's to be expected, all the female warriors in the game are incredible - apart from that one sidequest samurai lady who shows up (to train male rebels) then gets in trouble (because she's too brave and righteous and fights too many evil men at once).
But then the rest of the conversations through every part of that archer quest consists of Jin talking shit at the sensei. 'What did you do to make her this mad?' 'What are you hiding?' 'Gonna kill your own student huh...' All while there is immediate evidence of her being a willing mongol collaborator and enthusiastic killer of japanese peasants, all the story can think of is how to turn this around on the male authority figure. Right after her cruellest murder trap, when you chase her down the first time, Jin doesn't immediately kill her as he would with any man, instead he just gives her a chance to say 'sensei is hiding the truth from you!' then escape.
I never finished that sidequest but I read the summary of how it concludes just now and laughed. Just as predictable as Ghost of Yotei.
The writers have no idea how to ever ascribe any wrongdoing to women, except by occasionally floating the question that they're being too violent (which is another feminist fantasy), but every time in those cases the reason for it is that men made a cruel world so it's women's responsibility to fix it, by discarding dumb male principles and killing all the bad men from the shadows.
The final sidequest in the DLC is like this too. Big Bertha's men turn against her for bending her own rules to spare her daughter, rules she previously used as justification have men executed, presumably. Complex situation and a legit grievance, possibly, yet Jin unquestioningly sides with fattie to help slaughter her own men and save her junkie daughter. I said fuck it and just tried to run out of the location boundary at that point.
They fast forwarded 300 years from GoT. That puts Yasuke in the picture. Don't be surprised to see him as an envoy from Edo or as a wandering ronin, as a gesture of woke solidarity with Ubisoft.
Openly advertising their attempts to send in agents to influence the election? No fear of arrest? Total trust in the embedded US apparatchiks to assist them...? Not even the British government bothers to pretend America is not a banana republic any more.
