In 2022 I started work on an open world exploration platformer. I figured I’d start making stuff and see how it took shape, get it out in a few months. I have now been working on it off and on for 4 years, with no end in sight

that’s a video gameβ€”not a war on a country of 100 million human beings

giggling and fondling themselves as they say it.

This is just the latest example of the phenomenon (and I even agree with this person’s actual larger point) but I feel like we don’t need to talk like this about people we disagree with

Also this crap only ever applies one way. The idea that it’s anti-democratic or insulting to voters to criticize a president only holds when we’re talking about delicate Republican snowflakes. I heard this exactly never about attacks on Biden or Obama.

NONE of this is necessary. These people are coked-up psychopaths. Oh, and Republicans in Congress could stop them *today.*

me: OH NO THERE ARE FOUR RABID RATS LOOSE IN THE HOUSE!

you: Can you please stop releasing all those rabid rats in the house?

me [continuing to remove rabid rats from a big squirming sack of rats]: ARE YOU CRAZY? NOW ISN’T THE TIME FOR THIS CONVERSATION! THERE ARE SEVEN RABID RATS RUNNING LOOSE!

In which I reply to someone with a blacked out name that they are missing the joke and they inform me that in-jokes are virtue signals β€œused often by the far right.”

Kinda want to frame it.

it is wild that people who obsess about politics on the internet all day do not understand this very fundamental part of the whole politics thing

it’s somewhat more likely when you’re older, and quite a bit more likely to have major complications when you’re older too

Once again, as I deal with a phone JAMPACKED with political spam, I deeply regret having ever made a small political donation and will never make that mistake again.

I get that people are enamored of Obama's tech-savvy ground game, but come on. Do these politicians really not understand spam?

seeing Iran say they’ve sent out military units they’re not in contact with, seeing the US kill their leaders and recklessly bomb Iranian cities, and seeing how badly the FBI and other federal agencies are being run and focused on weird priorities gets me feeling a certain kind of paranoia, tbh

Yeah, the Secretary of Defense declaring "no stupid rules of engagement" after blowing up a school is a confession. There's no exception for "he's trying to sound like a manly warfighter."

The people of Iran are not an existential threat. This is a ham-handed attempt to manufacture consent by othering an entire country full of people who have a lot more in common with you and me, than we have with the folks advocating for violence against them.

No rules of engagement.
No "nation building... no democracy building exercise"
So, a tacit endorsement of war crimes with no particular end game or objective of what they're seeking to accomplish.

When the Iraq War really went south, the initial assurances from Bush administration officials, with their serious and sober analysis, came back to haunt them.

This cutesy jokes from Pete Hegseth -- not known for his sobriety in any case -- sound dumb now but they are going to age like raw milk.

there is some sort of point to be made here, on this specific point, about neoliberal/consumerist attitudes and treating the military as just another day job, but I didn’t sleep quite enough last night to phrase it coherently.

this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying
