Nothing beside remains around the decay of that colossal wreck. Boundless and bare, the lone and level sands stretch far away…

A happy gay couple passes you on the street and you feel a spark of outrage. The system clamps down on it hard, flooding you with memories of lazy Sundays spent watching football with them and their kid. Of learning they’re not so bad after all. When you emerge, you will be peaceful and productive.

I’m actually terrified to do this, but here goes.

One request. You do not comment until you read the entire thread. And you are respectful when you do. If not I will either restrict you or block you depending on how hateful you are.

Great, glad we’re on the same page, let’s begin.

And like… not to be a terminal Pollyanna but it’s not a given that even this court will invalidate the 14th amendment.

Or emo! Put on some eyeliner! Start a band! Sing about it! You’ll have friends and, ironically, feel better about things.

This. The thing the the trumpists dream of turning this country into is ugly, but I don’t think they’re going to be able to do it. This is an administration of, by and for chickenshit brain rotted content creators. They do it because it gets eyeballs on the slop they churn out.

Tha does look like a good experiment! 😋

"Double-tap strike" is such a heinous thing to have entered the lexicon. Classic "double tap": you try to brutally murder people and then when they survive merely injured you let them suffer for a while and then blow them up. Disgusting. Makes it sound like a videogame

I hate that I understand what this means.

Biden: hey so I put out close to every major Trump fire and things have been good nationwide for 4 years

"TRAITOR. TO THE DEPTHS OF HELL WITH YOU"

Mamdani: hey so I haven't been sworn in but Trump called me cool and I kept ICE from raiding NYC for like 4 days

"KING SHIT, KING OF THE LEFT FOREVER"

Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

That… is an immense amount of water.

Plus like… maybe this is the autism talking but there probably aren’t three quadrillion gallons of water on Earth.

This should be on a plaque at the base of the Statue of Liberty.

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

I don't know how sizeable the demographic of "I don't care who I support I just want to punish the people who brought us to this" is but one Dem candidate has to try "make them pay" as a campaign slogan for 2027-8. See how far it takes them. At the very least they'll have my vote.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

The future is multicultural, queer social democratic sci-fi-esque abundance, and you're gonna love it, even if you're up in your fee fees about it for stupid reasons now

Thanks for the block rec!

With all the Mass Effect posting I’ve done lately, maybe I should just be Alliance Intelligence Meme Analyst. Lol.

gonna once again reiterate my position that my, or anyone else's, intrinsic characteristics (be they gender, sex, race, LGBT, whatever) are not somehow invalid because they hold different views on politics, the economy, [social] justice, etc than you do. Its very strange some of you disagree!

Inspired: MCP stands for Master Control Program.

Bolsanaro's covid symptoms are getting stranger and stranger.

It has flaws, don’t get me wrong. Chief among them being that it took a corridor shooter combat system, plonked it into an open world, and stripped you of direct control of your squadmates. But I’ve enjoyed myself playing it. It did what new ME used to do, which is make me want more new ME.

Lots to build on had the game not been such a mess at launch! Which makes me kinda sad it turned out the way it did. I would like to spend more time with some of these characters, especially the religious scientist and the Salarian pilot who loves the ship bc every inch reminds him of his besties.

And then there’s the hardscrabble nature of the setting, where everyone’s at odds and their survival is an open question unless they pull together. I’m reminded of Battlestar Galactica, or that one Voyager episode where things were actually allowed to run out and/or break down.

Secondly, cool story hooks! Who were the Remnant? Who or what sent The Scourge, and is it unique to the Heleus Cluster or does it plague all of Andromeda?

As for what’s good about Mass Effect: Andromeda? I like the aesthetic, first of all. Ryder’s starting armor is cooler looking than Shepard’s drab N7 gear and the Tempest is the exact spaceship I’d want if God decided They wanted to reward me with a working spaceship for some reason.
