At this moment, we have little choice but to recognize that masculine behavior comprises vanity, irresponsibility, arrogance, and violence of all kinds toward women. This kind of behavior can hardly lead to coordinated action against women's oppression. And we must say frankly that such attitudes, which can sink to the level of sheer stupidity, are in reality nothing but a safety valve for the oppressed male, who, through brutalizing his wife, hopes to regain some of the human dignity denied him by the system of exploitation. This masculine foolishness is called sexism or machismo. It includes all kinds of moral and intellectual feebleness--even thinly veiled physical weakness--which often gives politically conscious women no choice but to consider it their duty to wage a war on two fronts. — Thomas Sankara

and you can see it in how much of that level feels like test setpieces. ladders near enemies, dead ends, ambushes, locked doors, dark areas, etc

I think I read somewhere that the Painted World of Ariamis is a test level for the game that would become Dark Souls- which made it really interesting to wander around and see the nascent beginnings of what would become one of the greatest games of all time

JK Rowling has a higher kill count then most children's authors

also, I was unable to read my *own* messages. it kept me from reading my own words. if people aren't prepared to hand over their identities (which they aren't) the site is toast

I couldn't hack past the age gate, tons of channels were unreadable, and every second attachment was flagged as nsfw. I opted for a VPN because I straight up couldn't use discord. now we're about to have it so a VPN can't get you out of it

british trans people know full well that the coming discord age gate is going to hit that entire site like a meteor

Painted World is a Demon's Souls area. And Royal Wood.... Is a Dark Souls 3 area

there were many in my generation who wanted to have kids and then raise them on harry potter. well. you can't always get what you want

theyre doing everything in their power to get harry potter to pick up a new generation of fans and it's not happening. it's millennial hangers-on and no-one else

oh lmao right, shes also in the epstein files how could i forget

if you want a real easy way to be a chad do not get involved in this on any level. I dont scold people for their tastes but JK Rowling has said repeatedly she puts the revenue generated by Harry Potter right into anti trans political organizations and legislation

YouTube video by KMFDM - Topic THE SECOND COMING

the new KMFDM has some of their best material ever I think. the closing track might be my favourite on there

so elon talked a lot of game about going to mars and then he turns around like actually never mind, my real passion is running twitter into the ground, then he says he's going to go to the moon and *somehow* the reporting isn't that he's a stupid lying jerk who can't do any of this shit

elon downsizing his mars plan* for the moon is so monumentally pathetic. I can't put into words how pathetic it is. you stupid fucking asshole. gigantic loser

*(non-existent plan)

in the space of just 10 years I've watched AI evolve from a word-parroting chatbot to a word-parroting chatbot that they put in medical hardware

got really pissed off about AI and then demolished the Four Kings at 2:50 AM like they were a pack of playing cards

to me one of the clearest things about the souls formula has always been 1. make the player extremely risk-averse 2. reward only the players that take risks

"very very funny" meaning "annoying" this instance

everyone in the discords is talking about moving and offering up serious suggestions for plan B services to use so.... really very, very funny that discord is about to lose a ton of users no matter what and for no reason

Amazing how every time something gets pervasive enough that if you use it as a verb or a noun people know what you're talking about, it acts like it's in a SAW trap and mutilates itself

however it is good that the corporations are finding ways to keep kids safe from knowing what sex is while they browse the world's biggest neo-nazi propaganda database

thanks discord because I use a VPN basically just so I can use discord and now I'm going to get age gated on that, too

The game was originally announced at Ubidays 2008, with almost a decade of silence before being re-revealed at Ubisoft's E3 2017 conference, although no release window

I've just realised we are about the same distance (9 years) from the re-announcement for Beyond Good And Evil 2 as that announcement was from the first announcement

What Is 'All Your Base' The Hot New Gen Alpha Tiktok Trend

I put my pants on my head. They call this ''Going commando''.

All Your Base is going to come back this year. I can feel it...

I have just been informed that is the place I have to go

extremely, unfathomably lost in Ariamis. the way I thought was the way out is blocked by a big dead dinosaur's ass, and I have run out of places to look... except the horrible bonewheel trench
