Not a robot.
Season 3 was fucked from day 1
Kinda glad that I haven’t got that far then lol. Although one day I’d like to catch up with season 3 and Sinners of the System just for completion sake. But I’m definitely not as amped about it as I was with season 1 anymore, so I’ll get to it some time. It’s just not exactly high priority.
Courtney Love called them (and Marilyn Manson) out early on for their activities with young female fans
Ouch, that’s disappointing. I know about Manson these days but in the early days of Korn, I was still watching Saturday morning cartoons and didn’t even know they existed yet. So I missed them getting called out. I guess the moral of this story is, kill your idols.
I love blues and blues rock, but the lyrics are often full of misogyny, unfortunately.
Same with old school rock and metal. Cocaine and lolitas. Then once hair metal was over, the macho men came in and you’ve got Metallica going “don’t tread on me” like racist rattlesnakes under a boot and Pantera with their secret white power bullshit.
Honestly the only old school rocker I’m ever really in the mood to listen to these days is Alice Cooper. Don’t think I’ve ever come across a track of his glorifying underage groupies or anything.
And it’s only really from nu metal onwards that I’m not listening with my guards completely up. The funny thing is, a lot of metalheads shit on nu metal and act like it’s a dark period in history. But at least Jon Davis was vulnerable and real and didn’t spend his time doing the helicopter and singing about how awesome it is to be popular with little girls.
I don’t actually watch a lot of anime but reading this question, my immediate answer is PSYCHO-PASS. Season 1 is a masterpiece of a story regardless of the medium IMO. Philip K. Dick tier.
Then they carried on with it instead of stopping there. The movie was ok, season 2 was meh and the villain was a bit much. And I haven’t even been able to bring myself to watch any other content from it. Not sure I’d want to because I prefer to pretend that sometimes it’s about art and not always about money and that they stopped after telling the story they wanted to tell in season 1 without turning it into a franchise.
Haha I’m a prolific body drummer too. I also do the leg shaking thing. Sometimes I’ll incorporate the two and the leg shaking becomes my bass drum.
She also voices Jinx in Arcane.
Oh well in that case, that’s one more show with Ella Purnell that I’ve seen then.
Definitely gonna look into Yellowjackets and Sweetpea and add them to my watch list. Thanks for the suggestions!
Yeah honestly my sense of time passed is just really terrible as well. To me it feels like ages ago but I’m pretty sure it only came out last year some time. The other day I was just about to complain about how long Sweet Tooth season 3 took until I looked it up and saw there’s only a 1 year gap between season 2 and 3 lol (still need to catch up though).
I need to look Ella Purnell up. I thought she was great but I haven’t watched anything else with her in it yet.
I feel like those people are never going to vote though. The communists and socialists will be too busy going on about bourgeoisie this and that and won’t be satisfied unless Marx himself is running because no one else is good enough. And the anarchists will go going “why should I take this opportunity to fight fascists if I’m not getting my perfect anarchist utopia out of it? Don’t vote, it’ll go against your perfect idealism.” Just like they did this last time around.
I think that Bernie Sanders showed us that people who don’t have ideological sticks up their asses will be willing to vote for something better that gets us all a little bit closer to utopia, even if it’s not perfect yet. And as a non-American, I think AOC has that same infectious energy. But of course, as a non-American, I might also be underestimating how much Americans hate women and brown people.
Oh damn. For some reason I thought this was coming out in the next couple of months. Hope it’s going to be worth the wait.
Take time to be a better person. Doing that fights them just as well as all the other stuff.
That is a great way of reframing it. And honestly it is a big help right now with the way I’ve been thinking lately. So thank you for taking the time to post this, seriously. I’ve got some thoughts that need rearranging now.
I’m in a similar space right now. Tired of being angry. Tired of feeling bad about things I said earlier when the people who it was said to will never feel bad about a thing in their lives. In a perfect world I would spend my days online looking at cat pictures, not despairing while these clowns dismantle women’s rights, trans rights, gay rights, religious freedom, environmental protections, workers rights etc. and their idiot legion thinking it’s all just wonderful.
It’s a catch 22 for me because I cannot and will not keep quiet. I’ve spent my life fighting these fucking people and I’m not about to stop now that the fight is more important than ever. Even if it most likely won’t amount to anything, considering that 50% of the world’s population seems to have been replaced by pod people over the last decade.
So I dunno. I’m personally at odds with being at a point in my life where I’d like to calm down and focus on arts and good conversation and being a better person; while the state of the world calls for people with spines more than ever.
“Make South Africa Great Again”
They’ll make statements like this and then complain about people assuming that they’re racist bigots. Because I’m pretty sure they’re not talking about the '90s when Mandela was still in charge and there was hope and joy in the air in South Africa.
The well run ‘South Africa’ that they long for so much was the South Africa where the previous government only bothered doing their jobs for about 3% of the country before patting themselves on the back for a job well done. And they’re comparing that to a government that isn’t perfect but that also took on a lot more work and responsibility, and hasn’t just drawn lines on a map and labelled huge sections of the country as “homelands” that they don’t need to bother with.
I sincerely hope that when these people are flying over, there’s some big mishap with aviation caused by Musk and they end up at the bottom of the sea.
Of course they are. They were already halfway there by spending their free time listening to assholes talk and preach on podcasts. And I’m sure it goes nicely with all of the bigoted, misogynistic content that they consume.
The Hop Harrigan 1946 serial and the Congo Bill 1948 serial. I found a Hop Harrigan torrent that sat at 0% on my list without even downloading metadata for about two years before I gave up. And I couldn’t find Congo Bill anywhere. Something tells me that Congo Bill would be pretty problematic and full of insulting stereotypes these days though.
Reads: “rule 5 - systematic downvoting.”
Replies: “Well stop downvoting everything.”
This guy: “Ah well I see that you just can’t read then.”
This person says they signed on to the Trump team because of “DEI going too far” and because “woke culture was dividing the country,”
Retranslation: This person says they’re on team reality TV star who hires news readers, influencers and family members to high powered positions without any qualifications because “DEI bad”. And joined the people who made ‘wokeness’ an issue to divide everyone with in the first place because they’re worried about it dividing people.
Have I understood that correctly?
He will help America view masculinity more “positively,”
By making it look like core parts of ‘masculinity’ revolve around hatred of the other, whether it’s women, LGBTQ+ people, people with a different skin colour or different religions. By welcoming in sex trafficker and rapist Andrew Tate. By making manly men look like complete chumps that vote against their own interests as long as they get to hate someone in the process.
Great job to Trump, Musk and all the other meat head influencers for making masculinity seem ‘positive’. If anything, they’ve actually just proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that ‘masculinity’ itself is a rapey, aggressive, bigoted shit show. Considering that ‘masculinity’ is represented by rapists and bigots currently, and that not all that many men are complaining about that.
Just finished Metroid Fusion earlier, started Metroid Zero Mission. Replaying both. Probably going to get to the GBA Castlevania games soon as well.
Although I’m starting to get an itch for a Phantasy Star run again so by this time next week I’ll probably be busy with that. Thinking of going straight to Phantasy Star 3 this time. I’ve played PS1 the most by far and PS2 multiple times as well but I’ve only fully completed PS3 once so far.
