It’s disconcerting the way that being a scientist is villified.
Also the way I have never seen an educated person upset about religion or the debate thereof. It’s like if I proposed a business idea that sucked to my most temperamental and argumentative friend. they’d just kinda shake their head and go “nuh uh. No. That won’t work because…”
And then personally I’m disgusted and upset with society writ large the way that someone could give you something wrong on its face, you can’t just deboooonk it and it’s actually a complicated relationship between people who are intensely sensitive to criticism and will only do worse if you point it out without wearing the right outfit and speaking with simple enough words. 1% of snowflakes collect 80% of the grace
And then also how the whole dynamic breaks down if you go “why are you proving the bible to me?” And they’re actually thrilled to confirm to you the stupid part of the argument.
And then when I write all that context out I’ve hurt my own feelings and don’t even want to talk about how hilarious what he said is.


Nooooo! Stop! Your positivity is too tuff. Your light is too bright. They’ll enjoy you(r presence)


Can I talk about myself to try and relate to you? I don’t have anything insightful to say but I’d like to talk to you about the subject.
I often times wish I were ace. I feel weak to sex. Like I can know it’s not a particularly good idea, but if I have a prospective partner who’s interested I can’t fucking help myself. At some level all relationships are FAFO, right? To me it’s a miracle that anyone gets along with anyone else. So it becomes this moment of “look, I stumbled into this rare, special thing that feels good, I wonder if they will also honor it with the reverence it deserves.” And of course they don’t. Why would they? For the grand majority of people that talk to me like that, romance and sex are something so meaningless or unimportant that it’s not even worth presenting oneself as interested in knowing me.
I wish it were meaningless and unimportant to me too! Rather, I wish I didn’t want to interact with them at all. I wish I could focus instead of getting horny. So saying I’m ace feels like saying I’m straight if I were to constantly seek out sexual interactions of people of my same gender. It just feels like it doesn’t describe the situation very accurately or communicate anything meaningful. A gay person might wish to be straight but that’s more trivia than predictive to who they’re going to get with.
Like I don’t know if I’m aro or if all the relationships I’ve been in have been with losers. Like maybe I’m the loser because I believe people can talk about things, contribute to discussions with more than receiving information, and ultimately communicate back anything besides verdicts about things they didn’t talk about when I asked. Maybe I’m a secret fucking genius because I behave as more than a glorified relationship compiler. If the focus is on things that work or are cool, then I excel. If the focus is on any kind of prolonged caring about someone I’m dead in the water because they just get bored. Like there’s some consistent unspeakable horror that comes from intimacy with me.
I aspire to one day be asked a follow up question IRL. It’s a bit of a hyperbole, but a couple years ago I was on a first date with someone who I naively shared some pages of my writing with. They asked me a question about it showing that they at least opened the file and read a page or two. Though they didn’t want a second date, I think about that moment more than some people I have been in a relationship with.


China, I yearn for freedom


At a glance, this feels like it obfuscates some analysis from the Palestinian from the original post. Specifically, institutions outside of Israel voicing support for it. It seems like zionist might get more to the point you’re making, but the assertion would still be structured “many Jewish institutions are zionist”.
At that point, you might get some productive discussion about unease regarding the analysis “what do you gain from specifying a zionist institution is Jewish?” But that would take tact, trust, study, active listening, and familiarity to have a fruitful discussion from there, especially speaking to a victim of a genocidal regime. I think there’d be very little “just” about it even if it’s a defensible position.
Though as I read this back I feel like I misunderstood your point and would like more clarification. Is this a fair rebuttal? I want to keep the post because it seems structurally sound.


Huge ass being like football fields in space, like the biggest things ever launched needing to unfold neatly and likely get a bunch of maintenance.


She was a tray of lasagna
And I
Was fucking Garfield


What are you talking about? Just be gay.
This sexuality stuff is so easy istg don’t pmo
P.S. not looking into it nor monitoring the situation, so it’s a certified hot take


That’s wild, is cajoling people usually a successful tactic?


WTHELLY is an audio representation of what it feels like when you prepare to fight someone and they just straight up make a suboptimal move.


Uncslop except it’s just WoW


It’s really hollowing for society the way that getting eyeballs on your work and having good work are such separate disciplines. Your work ought not be generally good and robust. That’s a lot of time spent on something that might not get clicks. You’re much better off knowing that there is some market, knowing that there’s a conveyor belt of content that has stuff grabbed off of it and hoping to get 2% of people to grab yours too.
What upsets people? AI authorship, so quickly make an MVP about it! Link to your email listing so people will be part of YOUR conveyor belt. That’s where the money is.
Tell me it’s an artifact of capitalism and not simply how human attention works so I don’t get sad about it


It’s funny to me that the face on the right is striking and interesting. The sunken in, yellow eyes. The expressiveness of her upset. The subtle line by her nose. It all serves as a full composition.
Clearly she isn’t currently horny, but if she ever was then it’d probably be more memorable. They’ve actually given the character a personality and likely a plot where she has a reason to express it. I have no idea about the game though.
I bet you anything that if they made her more like the left not only would she be subject to the normal critique of such a portrayal,
would likely be fatigued by her uninspired visage.
And she’s a total cobalt smoke show as she is
NorthernLion started saying “feeding two birds with one scone” one time and it was a real ear worm. Highly recommend the conspicuous use of the phrase.

I think it’s also really hard to coordinate an organization to give you a better feeling while you play. You can ask for a graphics tech stack and artists who have whatever resume. You can ask for unreal engine. You can give them all a story board and concept art, but if you say that it feels unresponsive or unsoulful then some manager who specializes in upsetting people is just going to ask someone to mess around with hitboxes and accomplish nothing. You need a small indie dev team of 5 who can all go “I know EXACTLY what you mean so I coded a blender alternative that specializes in character slide animations”


I think the Majora’s Mask system of giving me 4 more dungeons and some new little freak to beat up is severely underutilized.
Just kidding, I think that’s the premise of DLC and I just don’t buy it.
Like soon or eventually?
