Been seeing voxpop clips of reform voters - they have no idea what they’re actually voting for 100% of the time, and have circled around reform like flies on shit simply because they’ve been led to believe that this tiny isle is just too small for all the immigrants.
Doesn’t matter that we are a net-import economy that would depend either on degrowth (muh treets!) or increasing immigration, building more houses and actually bothering to integrate immigrant communities
that the nazis in the diary were upset that they were being kept awake at night by the cries of starving Jewish children
I read about the Einsatzgruppen - first wave mass-murder squads that the nazis deployed as they pushed east & west, often rounding up anyone deemed undesirable in any village they came across and shooting them in a field.
This system of serial extermination was found to be inefficient, due to the fact that the goons doing it were getting traumatised by having to personally execute thousands of people. It’s part of what led to the gas chambers - a method of killing removed enough from personal involvement that nobody feels (as much) guilt.
Impersonal, remote airstrikes - especially via drones - are a normalised modern day incarnation of the same idea.
it’s like the modeler placed the white hair and halfway through forgot they were working on raiden and made geralt instead
on pretty much every game’s announcement posts there’s hundreds of comments seemingly just ragebaiting from both sides of an issue; e.g. “dear devs, please put in lgbtq+ content!” or “dear devs, please do not succumb to woke mind virus and remove all lgbtq+ content!”
it’s dumb, but also difficult to tell what’s in bad faith and what’s just irony poisoned meme pasta
any time someone promotes manufacturing consent on social media i feel obliged to comment “the poor man’s inventing reality”
given that the whole historical mechanic is really just a VR experience of “genetic memories” run by an evil corporation (Abstergo) it stands to reason they would selectively edit certain aspects of history to suit their purposes
(just to play devil’s advocate for the writers, heh)
also 31, one of my premolars cracked clean in half a few months back resulting in my first visit to a dentist in about 20 years lol.
none of the NHS dentists around me would even entertain the notion of an emergency appointment due to not being an existing patient so had to go private - did manage to find somewhere friendly and reasonably priced 
that was my first port of call but the bank said because it’s still a pending charge I needed to contact the merchant to cancel it.
I managed to get amazon to escalate it to their gift cards escalation team who apparently will contact me in 48 hours.
If that fails, by that time the charge will have left my account and i’ll be able to dispute it with my bank 
in middle school a kid kneed me in the upper thigh and I had cartilage damage for about 15 years
i’m a single player only kinda guy, so i never really played cod or battlefield, aside from bad company 2 (which was good) and black ops 1 (which was bad)
I recently played infinite warfare, and then BF6 back to back. IW is fucking fantastic; I am in desperate need of more scifi shooters now. couldn’t believe it was a 10 year old game 'cause it’s still so clean and put-together.
BF6 was absolute træsh by comparison.
I realised there will never be common ground between me and the cod fans, because they despised IW with the vitriol reserved for nazis
south vietnam, silicon valley, sosialistisk venstreparti, pokemon scarlet & violet
advances in technology, medicine, agriculture etc. due largely to the inexorable march of time rather than any particular mode of production:
liberals: is this capitalist-communism?
at long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus
household of 6 dogs here; currently 3/4 girls in heat, 2 boys going buckwild 24/7
spaying cant come soon enough
15 years ago my chemistry teacher scolded me for doodling all over the blank pages in my mock exam - little did she know I was seeking the forbidden hyperobject, presidentially
it’s been a while since i played nu-Hitman 1 & 2 but i remember a throwaway line by a guard in the first mission at the beach house where he comments that “left-wing ecoterrorism must pay well” that gave me a stunlock
i’m fucking crying at this
i used to always see those little steel 10ml whippets on the ground in the car park where i used to work, guess we’ve come a long way since then
kenshi really isn’t like that (i mean, it definitely is, i’ve had several playthroughs fail because my sole character died immediately to a goat or a beak thing lol)
but it’s more forgiving than you’d think - if your character gets beaten in a fight, 9 times out of 10 you’re just unconscious and will wake up eventually and live to fight another day - that’s kinda the whole point. the toughness skill is levelled up specifically by being beaten up, heh.
in any case, when you start a playthrough you can adjust some difficulty sliders, like reducing the chance to die
survival pro tip: recruit at least another member to your party asap - this immediately gives you the option to apply first aid to a downed character and reduce the chance they bleed out or something
For a country whose average elevation is almost identical to the Netherlands, you’d think they’d be more serious about climate change.
After all, the shareholders stand to lose out when millions of hectares of real estate start being swallowed up by big blue
P.S. very good write-up comrade; I enjoyed many a hearty chuckle
