for the bajillionth time it is entirely possible to say "yes this was bad and dumb and pointless and effectively killing people for content is evil" and also acknowledge it was not in any way shape or form a LOAC violation
Pokemon making an Angels in the Outfield and a Dead Poet Society joke is how you know it is still absolutely being made with parents absentmindedly listening in in the background in mind
I hope Sakurai kicks our fucking ass.
Language is a technology that parasitizes the human brain. Written language furthers the parasitization. The rapid reproduction of written language enables the manufacturing of holographic realities through control of the means of production and reproduction.
Platner as the nominee in Maine would make it harder for national Democrats to tear into this fucking guy.
No Nazi shit.
Stop fucking around.
Everyone thinks Twitter is the new 4chan (and to a certain degree it is) but it continues to remain a very relevant site. I joked about it dying when it went down for an extended period of time last year but it’s wild how many people actually believe it’s dead.
/r/ saw Twitter getting all the attention for producing AI porn and said “hold my beer”. I hate that 4chan continues to remain so relevant.
4, 4, 3, 2 today for CM Qualifiers. Not sure if I want to commit to the three front runner team or go with 2 fronts and a Taiki pacer. Will have to view performances tomorrow.
Dusk Falls is the best combat music in any Fire Emblem game, full stop. I will be accepting NO feedback or criticism.
Things are falling apart but if Nintendo announced today that they were porting FE Awakening and Fates to the Switch everything would get better. I’m 100% sure of this.

I mean at the rate it’s going, yeah.
Chat, is it good that everyone in the oil industry seems to be freaking the fuck out?
Gas was 2.85 a week ago and now it’s 3.30.
WTI climbing like a Tomahawk missile:
Dudes will do/say anything to avoid studying logistics.
Fandom Studies too
it's like these people didn't have group chats smh
The sharpest minds over at Twitter are working on a solution
As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:
Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.
Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.
The Discourse on this site is going to Chernobyl levels of toxic.
Not great that this is being framed in a completely normal way I think.
Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success
Chart showing oil prices rise
US oil prices have passed the $80 a barrel mark for the first time in 13 months, up 45% since December.
US gas prices are set to rise above $3.30 a gallon.
like i said this when the US attacked venezuela. we are hurdling back into an extremely violent world, one which hasn't really existed since the 1700s and which nobody since hitler has really tried to enact. and it's entirely on trump's hands
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
This is not good.
The Anti-Virtue Society must be destroyed
The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.
The American population is finally going to touch the stove in a really meaningful way.
