0·2 years agoIt’s not even just being ignorant but confident, I saw a post on
the other day saying “communism has never given any rights to women, why are there women communists”Typical lib response was to ignore that it just literally isn’t true and instead say that they showed token support for “propaganda”. Some were even saying that the rights women had gained, such as the ability to own land, vote, and divorce, were also only done for propaganda purposes. They actively ignore the evidence presented in front of them in favour of “ooOoOOOOoOOoO COMMUNISM SPOOKY EVIL”
21·2 years agoIt didn’t come from a lab in Wuhan, it was first discovered in Wuhan but was already going around in Italy for months at that point based on waste samples.
The point was that we have just as much evidence to say it came from Detrick as we do to say it came from a Chinese lab. It most likely didn’t come from either, but only one of these conspiracies gets pushed. If you provide any pushback that maybe China isn’t responsible for COVID you get met with “well they would lie and cover it up, so I might as well be right”

Isopods are great bc depending on what you call them they have the power to leak your coordinates to the
ANTS EZ
The sheer variety is crazy, you got
- Cute regular ant
- Red ouch ant
- Ants that farm mushrooms
- ants that farm aphids
- ants that drink the blood of their own young
- ants who’s sole job it is to hang from the ceiling and store nectar in your belly for other working ants to come along and eat
- ants that stick leaves together to make an apartment building
And those are only the ones I can think of off the dome

PSA If you’re ever in an enclosed space and you find a bag of potatoes like this, leave and crack open a window ASAP before dealing with it. When they start to rot they release solanine gas which can be deadly in confined places like root cellars or deep cupboards
41·2 years agoIn good faith, as a non-american looking in, you aren’t being given any real choice. You have a party that’s constantly trying to push further towards fascism, and you have a party that’s willing to enable that push without any significant resistance. Not only that, but the party that’s doing the pushing doesn’t even need to be the ones in power to make progress, because they know the enabler party is unwilling to use the power they have in any sort of effective way. Republicans have overturned Roe despite Biden being in power AND despite the fact that Democrats have been saying they’d codify it for years. Republicans are now introducing anti-trans legislation despite Biden being in power and I’ve seen next to no actual effective pushback from the Democratic party.
It’s like a water slide, you can just sit normally on the slide and go down at a normal pace or actively lean back and go down faster, but you’re going to end up in the pool either way. The way I see it, voting for either party still results in a slide towards fascism, the only harm reduction argument I can even see is that voting for Democrats would slow that slide by maybe a year or two at best.
8·2 years agoI swear I had some sort of epiphany when I heard that one guy use “human capital stock” to refer to workers early on in the pandemic. I used to think people saying these people are evil was hyperbolic but these
moments really lay bare how true it actually is

The first time I saw it mentioned I thought it was a bit but you’ve referenced it too many times for that to be the case and now I’m DYING to know what the DPRKOS is
6·2 years agoI’ve been enjoying it, but I think it’s more because I grew up playing Bethesda RPGs and it’s a familiar format in a new setting than anything special with starfield itself. I’ve been finding the pacing is way too quick as well, I’ll spoiler just in case

The game sends you to a planet called new Atlantis and has you explore for a bit, get into a lil cutscene, and go off to the next location. In terms of what you actually do there it felt comparable in content to when you bring the tablet to dragonsreach in Skyrim and you get word about a dragon attacking.
Then you get sent to Mars. Since it’s a planet in our solar system I was kinda expecting it’s first appearance to be a little more important, but you end up saying a handful of words to an NPC and sent off somewhere else. Even compared to the typical Skyrim or Fallout 3 (the ones I played the most) location introduction it was incredibly short.
The Bethesda RPG formula has been “go to location, talk to NPC, go to new location, fight enemy, return” for a while, but with starfield it’s starting to feel more like a fast travel simulator with combat minigames. I’m still really early in the game so I’m holding out hope that it gets a little more involved but knowing the state of big RPG releases the past few years I’m not optimistic.
