In summary “continue to play by the rules of a system that is under the full control of fascists, and hope the world can hold out long enough to run another uninspired campaign helmed by an out of touch, centre-right millionaire”
Was hoping for something a little more inspiring…
If I make plans for a holiday, put down deposits on hotels, and print an itinerary for my time abroad, it’d be a bit pointless to “admit” I was going on holiday.
Is this news? They presented their plan to destroy America, and are going to implement it. What did people expect?
When someone tells you they are a fascist, believe them the first time.
The Democrats abandoned their base today. Harris did not intend to turn out for the party at her own College. Key members began to leave before the final numbers were called. No speech. No words of comfort or support for the 50-ish percent of voters that tried to push back against fascism.
It really feels like Harris was only speaking for the people as long as she was winning, and when the tide turned she fucked off. It supports the narrative of ‘vote for me or else’.
This does not build trust in the party, and if the world ever sees another US presidential election, I hope people remember how they have been treated.
Just not using Amazon? Somehow I’ve managed to survive without needing to buy anything off Amazon in over a decade. How badly do you need to buy random shit online that you can just shrug at the human rights violation that is Amazon?
Breaks law by using his wealth to sway the results of an election. Gets a warning.
I really do believe what Trump said about shooting a man and not losing any votes… except he would also walk away with a warning not to do it again.
Ignoring the potential dogwhistle, you have just summarised the issue as outlined in the article. Men are not facing the same issues of discrimination as women in sport.
Michael Phelps can sweep the floor with the competition and everyone admires his ‘wingspan’, but when Imane Khelif began to trounce her opposition due to her impressive physical traits, she is accused of being a trans woman, and bigots become experts in phrenology to try and out a cis woman. Why is one okay and the other not? Should Phelps have to compete in another category for the long-armed? Or be excluded from competing because it’s unfair to the average man?
Representation is important, but also go play with the men if you don’t meet the traditional standards of femininity?
When religion tells you that sexual desire is evil, anything that turns you on becomes inherently evil. If you’re a good person, it’s just not possible that you can be attracted to evil things. It must be that thing that is actively tempting you. A serpent trying to drag you to sin. It can’t be YOUR fault. It’s those darned women/trans/children that made you do evil things.
This has been happening forever to women around the world. Cis or Trans.
By working with Midjourney, he adds a human touch to historical storytelling
What part of the process is the human part? The bit where he asks the climate-destroying computer for a picture of a city he admittedly knows very little about? Or is the human part all of the art and images that were used to create a plagiarised AND inaccurate image of history?
The guy walks into a historical building, and upon seeing some art, his first response is “I wonder what that art is about, maybe my followers can tell me”. This is the guy who is creating historical images of the city? The guy who only learnt recently that large ships were not historically seen in the harbour? I’ll admit my knowledge of Amsterdam is lacking, but I’m not trying to pass AI slop off as historically accurate representations of the past.
You want to bring history to life? Ask a historian about the history, and pay an artist to accurately represent the truth.
The kicker is that owning the disk entitles you to a piece of plastic, and not much more at the moment. When servers go down, or day one patches are no longer available, the disk becomes no better than a coaster for many modern games.
The fact that there was an assassination attempt made against him within the last month, and we’ve all collectively moved on to talking about Harris must boil the black ichor that runs through his veins.
What the hell is this?
Another “The gardener of the cousin of the mechanic of the uncle of an aide to a staffer for a satellite office of the Democratic Party says” article.
It’s manipulative, and I don’t understand how so many people can be okay with what this means for the world.
Was it not? You ventured into mega dungeons and used your wit and skills to gain levels and overcome the DMs threats.
It may not have been as over the top as 5e, but your character in old editions of D&D was still amassing power over time, which was the fun.
For someone who it “didn’t matter” to, he sure had a lot of vitriol against women…
Just give us the book. Why is “The Druid” a live event that I have to tune in for? I don’t need some fake-enthusiastic guy in a graphic tee trying to hype up the Wizard class. We know what that is, just get on with it. Is anyone who isn’t already on board with 6e going to be swayed by this stuff?
This all reeks of AAA gaming promotion. They are trying to get that E3 Hype for a ttrpg, and you can feel the season passes and microtransactions being tinkered with in Beyond.
Class names that end in “Coordinator” technically belong down The bottom…
Nothing will happen. I appreciate the optimism, but you’re kicking your acceptance further down the road. If they were actually going to hold the fucker to account, they’d have done more by now. At this point? Attempting to prosecute the president-elect just weeks before he steps into power to ‘save America’? That’s just giving the conspiracy nuts validation to start shooting.
He’s got you by the pussy I’m afraid.
