I’ll check with the 'necks at work, but I don’t think anyone actually gives a shit. I’m not sure it’s doing any favors for the dems.
Between couches and jars of jizz, I’d support Biden pointing our nuclear arsenal at our own cities and going ham. Motherfuckers can’t even bother saying each other’s names. It’s over. Time to go, lads.
Nowhere without ballot access, which requires votes in federal elections in most places.
With ballot access they can all of a sudden play ball just by threatening dem chair to run spoilers.
It’s not fast or easy. The system is built to prevent third parties from being able to even function, and you’re using the results of those oppressive regulations to prove there’s no point.
Register green, call your green state chair and run for state house once. You’ll get a lot of info, strategy meetings and party training. Enjoy the education, fix your registration and move forward understanding the bit of the system you’re trying to critique.
Not if I’m awake. It can be brutal.
State chairs are responsible for state strategies. There are actually elections regulations that, surprise, make it very hard to mingle state and federal activities too much.
Pet it. Boop that snoot.
They latched onto it because they were told to by the DNC lol
There’s no way you believe that’s organic.
It looks kind of pathetic. These dudes have real policy positions and behavior to attack and instead of anything substantive we get couches and weird.
If you’re trying to reach voters already with you, then it’ll be effective for that maybe, but it only tells other voters you think they’re imbeciles. Which is prolly accurate.
And, as a prosecutor, she’s likely vicious enough to use available assets.
You’ve watched it or read the transcript, right?
There’s no way to mistake it as anything but parody. Holy shit.
He and his lawyers still think he’ll win on appeal, and it’s not exactly a bad assumption.
It’s hard to let that go.
But from him it’s not racist.
Not really. There are some adjacent ones I can check for invites if you pm me later to remind me.
But it’s fantastic to have a core of users that talk about releases and sometimes call each other slurs.
I’ve been a member of a private torrent forum since you were 2 or so lol
Sometimes, yeah. A lot of the time peeps don’t know what they can get away with.
I don’t think it’s bad, but it does confuse me and confusion is no fun.
But…then…use a different word?
I’m so confused. You still swore. We knew what you meant and you knew what you meant. You just censored the text. We’ve got alternatives with no censoring. Message me for Jesus Approved cursing. (please don’t)
Edit: removed zoomer slight.
In lemmo we say fuck because why the fuck did you censor fuck?
(I’m so sorry for writing so much. Skip to the last paragraph if you have to. There’s a tension in me because I fall on both sides a bit.)
It’s an indicator of developer focus and intent. Sometimes.
If people’s introduction to trans characters wasn’t “hi, I’m trans” then maybe they wouldn’t have these stereotypes, but we are where we are. Pretending that it’s just extra options is ignoring that the people that push this sort of thing also seem to think we also want to read their shitty writing and shitty characters.
Their dumblelore/voldemort slash fiction bullshit was trash 15 years ago and they haven’t improved because their focus is social issues, not good writing. That’s the real issue - paper thin characters that are just vehicles for social commentary. Subversion isn’t annoying your audience from the start, it’s developing deep characters with all the flaws of humanity that also happen to have atypical identities.
My favorite book series are The Culture novels and Discworld. They both have trans characters that aren’t there just to push narrative. They were well written characters that fit the world and also trans. In the culture it’s not even remarkable - they’ve solved everything biological so it’s just kind of there. Discworld is more by-the-horns, but he still manages to be sneaky with the subversion and it works every fucking time.
On the flip side, Hugo award winner A Deepness in the Sky has a character that uses gender neutral pronouns which is whatever. Not a big deal, but it was the first time I saw it in a book. What was the book? Torture/rape fantasy set in space. It’s one of two books I couldn’t finish. The other is Atlas Shrugged. Coming from someone that’s read a lot of more classic science fiction and considered a Hugo a seal of approval, that was a very harsh realization.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with extra options or making ugly characters (though I don’t get that - there’s a sweet spot between fan service and trash can) but I don’t consider them a useful feature if the game is shit. If they focus on the game and add ‘woke’ shit to a good game with well written characters it’ll go down like honey. If the devs see the game as a vehicle to disseminate their social ideas, they’re in love with themselves and not the game and people will see that. It can, and has, been done well.
