Annnnd reason #345,781 why never to ignore the more nuanced meanings hidden in even the weirdest of games/stories. Great read, y'all.

All this to say; this is why we /have/ to embrace weirdness better collectively. Not even in a "woo-woo" (god I hate Randi) way, but, just... accepting that reality is weird in a way we won't always know and it's okay. However one has to do so.

Again, there's a whole lot else they went into, but that notion struck me. It just feels like, especially since the 24 election there's been something...off about things. I'm an intangible, murky way that's difficult to talk about with people who don't like to believe in that kinda stuff.

I saw an interview with Grant Morrison a few weeks back talking about similar ideas; mostly from the perspective that the fascists invoking (intentionally or not), a form of magic to gain power and wealth without understanding the balance of things and that it wouldn't be forever.

Bruce in an idealized way probably smells something like singed sandalwood. Realisticly, dude spends his days wandering in armor or in a blacksmithy repairing said armor soo...yeesh.

Partially due to Milo's work, this is the main thing that keeps me going sometimes. All of our ancestors, every one of us here today, crossed millions of miles walking, hunted mammoth, were hunted by smiledons, endured millennia and did so just so we could be here today. It's amazing to think about.

As a person who loves and writes serial fiction? Same. An ending makes something exist more. By letting something just...end...it has a chance to settle into our collective unconscious better.

It's... frustrating as all hell. Every generation has had its own unique issues to tackle, but it just feels like we have...all of 'em. And maybe it's a by product of being raised alongside the rise of 24/7 info on demand that makes us more aware of how screwed we are. But we definitely got screwed.

It's really hard to have creative work be the only thing you want to do, and the only thing you're actually any good at, in the age of "we are going to eat you and shit your bones into an image of a woman with a distressingly childish face and distressingly large breasts hugging a crying Shrek."

You should be asking why Rockstar gets to do this and doesn't run into any issues with payment processors, while the rest of anyone drawing or writing "explicit content" on any platform have so much trouble getting paid

I think one reason it’s good to have a liberal arts education in the classic sense is that you don’t then spend time trying to invent the concept of “intellectual pursuits” from first principles

In my experience; a vast majority of these people have never taken the time to think too deeply about religion, and/or it's never occurred to them that people actually do. Always boggles their mind when you put forth a structured, independent idea of faith that's not easy to categorize.

I admit I'm a perrinal reply guy; I rarely feel I got anything to actually share beyond participation in various threads and convos. That said, man, if someone has those replies off, I take that hint, man.

Things like this are why I compulsively add "/s" nowadays. I just can't trust anyone's reading comprehension anymore. On a random train of thought, the late Hunter S. Thompson in his prime would probably have obliterated these people with single drunken breath.

Any Democrat who says something like this is likely corrupt himself and should be investigated.

This. It's a bunch of wealthy, desperately scared men. Terrified the world can be a better place for people other than them and their outdated ideas. Terrified of death claiming them. Just scared out of their minds that they're outnumbered by people who actually care about others.

The far right power grab is global and entirely organized, moneyed & interconnected. No matter where it happens, every pillar of free society that falls has been and will continue to be everyone’s problem. It’s a domino effect.

People keep telling me about the good old days when people had civil disagreements face to face, but also my dad talks about how men used to get in a lot more fistfights as a matter of course and my grandfather had quite a lot of knife scars from knife fights.

My wife made that argument as well; my counter is that people can develop a taste for anything if forced to. By removing even disgusting options, by making them completely separated from the /idea/ of cheese, it steps up to being a truly horrible punishment that never ends. Which makes it just.

Include cheese products and replacements as well; ensure the suffering is total and damning.

This thread taps into why watching tech people is weirdly fascinating to me. It feels like when everything becomes reduced to atoms and code, without anything esoteric influencing your thinking, it becomes far too easy to believe an overfed spell check is approaching personhood.

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart
