Velocipastor! It looks and seems like it’ll be a parody but it was super engaging and fun. Went into it thinking it would be watched between gaming rounds and eventually turned off, but I ended up quitting the game to full-screen that shit!
This movie took me completely by surprise by how good it was. I feel like you could tell everyone involved had experience playing TTRPGs, from the director, to the writer(s), all the way down to the catering crew!
Until the Epstein post, I had the same question. Now, not so much.
Same. For the longest time I was made to believe that crying in front of people was weak. Especially, when those tears came from entertainment. Then I watched Schindler’s List and bawled like a fucking baby at the end when…
Schindler starts pointing out all the possessions he still had, which he could have bartered to save more Jews and the overwhelming support from the ones he did save comforting him.
It fundamentally changed who I was and what I was willing to show emotion for, especially empathy. I found that any movie based on actual events, that ended tragically, would illicit a similar response.
It was only after years of therapy and the support of wonderful people in my life that I learned to feel that deeply for any media with resonating characters. Elon said empathy is a human weakness, but he’s never been so wrong. It’s the only thing that binds us together.
They’re not anti-higher education for all, just for liberals and those who are not part of the wealthy class. That’s why they jacked the price up around the 1980s. Too many poors were going to school, competing with rich kids for high paying jobs, and cementing class-consciousness pushing for social change. They can’t have that!
Raising the cost of tuition meant fewer families were able to attend college without financial aid, which has also been set up to be a lasting financial burden for us plebs. Couple that with better employment opportunities being largely reliant on the level of education obtained, and you have a system designed by the rich, for the rich, to ensure they’re the only educated group, able to ascend to the upper echelons of power.
Also, they want smart people with college degrees (and sociopathic tendencies) to work for them and come up with new ways to manipulate/kill people! It’s why so many Nazis were incorporated into US projects after WWII, rather than being hanged for the crimes they helped facilitate against humanity.
Edit: I forgot to include the racism part of the price hike, specifically aimed to prevent class mobility for people of color. Racism is just the worst!
Velocipastor and Kung Pow: Enter the Fist!
Hopefully, we don’t hear about some intelligence agent with a new book coming out in the future regarding how tRump was a known asset for the Kremlin and how he was caught red-handed giving info to Putin in some false-flag operation.
There is already one or you’re expecting one soon?
::shudders:: hexbear…yikes!
This instance will live on. Definitely understand the burnout and hope @sunaurus@lemm.ee and the other volunteers here stick around.
I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. I don’t know shit about dick, but if there’s some way a 10 yr sysadmin could do to help out, please let me help! I’m a big hoarder of data and don’t believe information should be gatekept or lost if it can be saved.
For posterity’s sake, please don’t abandon hope in keeping your labor of love alive!
Should have fed him a false location and then monitored Putin’s move. Would have confidently proven that tRump is an asset if moves were made to the fake target. Trap this fucker and then public punishment!
District 9. Leave Wikus in.
Looking back, the old guard in the DNC needs to go. They’re still reeling from when they last ran a progressive and Nixon took like 48/50 states. I think that explains some of their hesitation. However, those were vastly different times and before Nixon – and moreover Reagan – started dismantling the guardrails that helped create the middle-class.
You forget the split ticket in the last election where people who voted down ticket for tRump and republicans only to overwhelmingly vote for AOC. She has the popularity to bridge the divides and unite labor against the wealthy. This tour with Bernie will further cement her popularity with the masses!
Nah you’re right. 30 might be too young!
The old adage I learned is half your age + 7.
51/2 25.5+7 32.5
Seems you would be good aiming a little low! However, no harm in meeting someone new!
The first rule of gen-x is you don’t talk about gen-x!
Sorry, I should have specified that I made the same declaration when all this shit started. I agree completely and do think that is a signal of someone badass! No sarcasm intended!
I thought this was the university and REALLY thought tRump was going full fascist!
