I've followed the ongoing lefty friend saga with great amusement, and while I'm not going to assume this election is fraudproof just yet, I'm sparing a thought for them in these trying times.
Having something preserved in perfect stasis, and being able to look back on it without the (debatable) benefit of a memory that's fuzzy around the edges, and seeing the number in black and white - that's a confronting thing. And memory is a weird thing to begin with, especially on the internet where there aren't the same kind of anchor points you might use in real life. It's much easier for something from 15 years ago to feel like it was just yesterday, and make you wonder where all that time went.
Dragon Age was always woke! It was always exactly this flavor of woke! The series was never for you, you're being left behind, you're a hypocrite if you liked the first Dragon Age but don't like this one!
Settle into the room. Unpack.
Riveting quest design.
Female choosing gender identity options and talking about how she's going to become a woman.
That's just confusing.
And the whole thing is so... obnoxiously self-indulgent. Having all these different dialogue options centering around "gender identity" when it has no bearing on the story. You could say it's about shaping your character maybe, but that collapses when you look at the rest of the game, which has no roleplaying options and forces you to be nice to people all the time. The writing really is abominable.
"It was a relief to figure out I was trans."
I can't even begin to address this one.
That, voice, though... is that the only female voice available to Rook? Or is it supposed to be "non-binary"? Either way, it's abysmal.
I dunno. Something about filming your good deeds. I get that it raises more revenue to perform more good deeds, but......l dunno. Something about it.
That argument has some validity, but this guy never struck me as filming it so he can do more good later. He and his fake-as-fuck smile always seemed to be exploiting people for his own self-aggrandizement.
They benefit from the exchange, sure, sometimes substantially. But it never felt like he cared about helping them. I always got the overwhelming feeling that he was purchasing their dignity, and in in the process turning them into unwitting prostitutes.
10 days late, thank you for your response.
Better yet, have them eat balut.
(Don't look up pictures of this if you're squeamish)
I have a book from the 1970s that discusses how this was going on back then and how scientists were scared of losing their jobs if they didn't report the right results so a lot of stuff never got published.
What's the book?
Could he be talking about something other than race, since he says he wasn't born privileged? Maybe his fame?
Either way, I don't like it.
Damn, I liked him once.
Everybody famous is really just part of the same groupthink clique, aren't they?
They believe, or pretend to believe, exactly the same safe, politically correct, woefully out of touch things.
Memba "Mundane" Matt Jarbo?
I remember he was performatively anti censorship, while copyright striking videos that made fun of him and lying through his teeth about it. I remember how, when he was cornered over it, he immediately launched into a whining, insincere, excuse-laden apology.
I'm not likely to forget that pathetic display.
My lefty friends are really obsessed with the idea of mocking or trying to disprove that there are immigrants eating cats and dogs.
And when they're proven wrong, they'll mysteriously forget they ever said it. As though someone hit a switch somewhere, all leftists will immediately shift from mocking the idea, to pretending the idea itself doesn't exist and never did.
I could never explain exactly why, but I always knew this guy was a complete faggot. Hated him from day one.
This psycho just needs to fuck off already.
I always expect this to be controversial, but I think I've said previously that I sometimes feel bad for non-offending pedophiles (I refuse to use their 'virtuous pedophile' terminology) under the assumption that they've got a mental illness they may not want, and attempting to get help potentially puts them in a lot of reputational (or even physical) danger. Having such a secret, and being so loathed, must be stressful. It's probably difficult even to admit it to yourself, let alone a stranger.
Unfortunately, I am certain this push from within the left is not about treating mental illness. Like with everything else, it's about enabling it. It's about being "tolerant" and "inclusive" and "decent", and cracking the door open just a bit and then - whoops! You're a bigot if you object to your kids being leered at, exposed to some sick fuck's genitals, or even groped! Golly gee, how did THAT happen?
Society must not tolerate pedophilia. Whatever the leftist proposes in this regard MUST be viciously rejected. They have no sense of proportionality, decency or even sanity. They WILL sacrifice your children en masse to protect some freak's feelings and win good boy points.
I just don't want bad things to happen to pedos who want to get better, or else keep their sickness 100% to themselves. I may or may not be in the minority in that regard.
So we're winning, then. Thanks for the admission.
Does "our democracy" have any democracy left within?
There isn't a single good thing about this. There isn't even an angle from which this can be seen as good. It's bad in every single way.
What they've done to Star Trek is disgusting.
To be clear, the really frustrating part is realizing how stupid the supposedly "smart" members of society are. The ones who are convinced of their own infallible intellect. The midwits.
Stupidity isn't the problem. Dumb people can be smart. The problem is the veneration we as a society have for people who are utterly ill-equipped to be making any sort of meaningful decisions, whether because they're innately stupid or simply refuse to use their brains correctly.
The people who are smart enough to feel smart, but not smart enough to be smart are the true retards of society. And they are the cause of a great many of its issues.
I have a reasonably high IQ, and I don't feel smart. I pick up on some things easily, other things I struggle with.
It's more that a lot of other people seem very stupid.
What is something you are able to do that you know is because of your intelligence -- the proverbial 1,000 pound deadlift of the brain, if you will.
Pattern recognition and seeing how issues connect, I suppose. But I don't think of that as an innate consequence of intelligence, I tend to think that most people simply refuse to do it. It's not that they can't think, it's that they don't. Which is frustrating.
What's the thought process behind this phenomenon? Do these people sincerely think that whites shouldn't be allowed to congregate in numbers greater than three without bringing their plans to a screeching halt and finding a token diversity person to act as a chaperone?
Or do they actually not think that far ahead, and are just perpetual whiners who are conditioned to see racism everywhere? Even if it's the latter, that people even think like this is worrying. The white-hating conditioning runs deep.

NOT THE HORSE DEWORMER!
I still see people smugly crowing about "right wingers taking horse dewormer", by the way. Retardation isn't ever as apparent as when it's mocking the intelligence of others.
Doing everything he can to reject that whole "Don't be evil" thing, isn't he?
Interesting. I know Sony has been very inconsistent on backwards compatibility and I assumed the same to be true of Xbox.
I do hope you'll share them with us.
