    Real talk, it can be fun to joke about people believing in dumb stuff, but I think repeating untruths ends up normalizing them. Given the way the world has really gone off the rails believing dumb **** like Disney being a communist plot, we need to be more careful when posting to prevent some of the more gullible forum members from unironically believing such nonsense. Which is why I need to come out against the flat earth lie, science shows that we actually live on a giant ball of ice and that the earth is actually just one of many ponds in this big ol ball of ice.

    Not really. The op didn't wow me, but I've been spoiled with the JoJo ops which are surprisingly good. The score was kinda hard to keep up with given all the yelling and sound effects from the giant mecha battles.

    Well I'm posting from my phone, so forgive me if I stop in the middle after getting frustrated with the mobile UI. In general, I think that Kill la Kill is more deconstructive while Gurren Lagann is more played straight and has mechas. They're very similar in terms of beats and style, down to the fanservice shots (and boy howdy there are a lot of them) and the mid season plot twist. The art is similar enough that, barring different setting and characters and the no mecha rule in one anime, you could probably confuse the two visually if watching them back to back. In my opinion I preferred Kill la Kill, but I think that Gurren Lagann should be checked out by those who did like Kill la Kill. It's definitely much more in line with some shonen shows but overall I think it works well enough for what it is. And of course the software ate my post. WRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

    Gurren Lagann. It was good for the kind of show it is.
  5. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Pretty much.

    Yeah, I think most people in positions of power try to deflect, minimize blame, or talk around it. What Russia says may be a little weirder, but the strategy itself is common enough. I think you've mentioned that your wife also has family in Ukraine, how are family matters between them and the Russian family? I think making someone watch more than 10 minutes of is a crime against humanity. Or at least crime against good taste.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/04/19/libs-of-tiktok-right-wing-media/ I found this to be interesting, and WaPo is free right now so figured I'd link. Given the rash of anti-LGBT bills being passed it's interesting to see a dive into a social media account that feeds into this culture war. Oh and in case you were wondering, the person behind the account was in DC on 1/6/21.

    It's especially weird given that Orwell went to Spain explicitly to kill fascists. But I guess death of the author.

    Hell enjoys company. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-it-could-happen-here-30717896/episode/the-curious-case-of-nazi-catboys-94889782/ They've also tried claiming the Matrix and Angry Birds. It is something else.

    Yeah, you tend to see that a lot with reactionaries. A bunch of (amateur) bodybuilders cosplaying as romans and doing oil massages is going to look very dumb and homoerotic to passerby. But while gay fascists (almost exclusively men) do definitely exist, by and large it is more of having a specific conception of masculinity and "tradvition" than it is intentionally homoerotic. And the (openly) gay fascists are stuff like Nazi catboys, which do exist and are probably on my top ten lists of thing I wish I could forget.
  12. PK htiw klaw eriF
    The short answer is that you're not the target audience, so it looks extremely goofy and dumb to you. Like the above video I linked. The long answer is something I'm too tired to type, but suffice to say that fascism needs to have a threat to be a response to (communism, racial others, "degeneracy", shadowy cabals) while projecting itself as the force needed to stop it and preserve the mythic past. The pageantry is (partially) constitutive of the latter.

    That's crazy talk.

    Madeline Albright is a very interesting person, how many people can be said to have been refugees and then (help) created thousands of refugees?

    I just like posting the shocked high DIO tbh.

    I think 12?

    Take it easy man, when I has it there were a few false upswings.

    Sometimes I'll see a lot of folks wearing one, and other times it'll just be me. It's nice to have because in addition to not spreading the rona, it confuses AI identifying software and can hide stubble if I didn't shave.

    Gurren Lagann. It's pretty shounen stuff, but I'm enjoying it for what it is. BG2 portraits are bad. I think I used a mod, PaintBG or something, that had consistent style. When it comes to creating characters in (c)RPGs, I usually come up with a concept and see if I can make it fit the game mechanically then go into aesthetics. I'll usually use a preset as a base and then go from there.

    Elon Musk is trying to buy twitter to get people to stop posting this:

    Double posting and quoting myself, I should be ashamed. https://ew.com/movies/david-lynch-inland-empire-cannes/ It's not true. But remastered Inland Empire sounds good. Hopefully it gets released on VoD or somewhere else.

    It will be something if Wrath of the Righteous fixes your brain issues and let's you quit NuTrek. I haven't played it in a while but after playing a bit of Deadfire, I've got to say in terms of aesthetics PathCat OwlFinder looks and sounds much worse. In Deadfire a lot of the equipment looks great in ways that it just doesn't in other games, PoE and Deadfire are the only times I want to equip padded armor for both stats and looks.

    Other than getting the rona earlier this year, I haven't been really sick in a while. I get some digestion issues and insomnia though. That's better than a cold at least. Today I went to work. I've been an independent contractor for a minute and I'm making about 50-100% more than I did as an employee. I'm going to make as much money as I can doing this over the summer and then look to getting a 9 to 5 outside of Houston specifically and maybe (hopefully?) Texas generally. It's time to run away from the hurricanes.
