The first HOI4 player

smh I've been using my 100 Hz monitor at 60 Hz this whole time, it's like a whole different monitor!

The job market is so bad now that one person in my field that I've emailed suggested that I join the army 😵‍💫. Is it over for me?

Democrats Condemn ICE For Murdering Without Proper Warrants

A tremendous loneliness comes over you. Everybody in the world is doing something without you.

It's """funny""" how overpopulation is regularly brought up as an issue, but when you compare actual scientific journals to the public conception of overpopulation, the only people *really* pushing for the concept are billionaires or open white supremacists. *Totally* not concerning at all...

originally posted this on Twitter but I felt it was too coherent of a post to have only on *that* website

I always find it funny when people say "ACAB except Kim Kitsuragi" like he doesn't reach for his gun in every situation in which he's even slightly afraid. He even does it when you interact with the polar bear refrigerator for the first time. Real itchy-trigger-finger kinda cop.

Columbo.

Could the collapse of society at least wait until I get a job?

I'm fascinated by how, if you leave furries to their own devices, you will eventually end up with animals with no relation to their IRL counterparts. Like a game of telephone but with 20 years of art. Why do rabbit furries have paw pads? Why do shark furries have pointy ears? Not even god knows.

In retrospect it's crazy that I got an Xbox 360 for Christmas... in 2012 💀

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

They really need to take the word "terrorism" away from racing game fans. You really don't need to equate cartoonish video-game vehicular-violence with such a loaded political term, especially not to jerk off about how the older games are better than the new ones.

My internet feed from most of today for *some reason*:

I'm still mad at the Pluto defenders who go on and on about how the scientists are wrong and Pluto should be a planet, like their arguments rejecting scientific consensus aren't just one step removed from an anti-vaxxer. Like they even gave Pluto it's own "dwarf planet" category, why are you so mad?

I'm so glad I got 32 GBs of RAM ages ago because I wanted to run more Cities Skylines mods at the same time

I don't understand the Minecraft subreddit, I just want to see cool builds and stuff, but every post there is about people losing their hardcore world or their pets dying or their base burning down or whatever. It's a tar pit of a place and I don't get what people are getting out of it.

i keep seeing people ask why the reporters in the room don't push back or defend their colleagues when trump insults them, & i hate to break it to you but they all love him. they think he is brilliant and want to kiss him

As someone who's spent far too much time on TVTropes, real Tropers (Trope-heads?) know that Tropes Are Tools, and that no tropes are inherently bad (or inherently good either).

Or if you're me, whatever came out 5 years before you were 7-13 years old because your family was too poor to afford a Playstation 3.

If you ever feel annoyed by games or movies that you think are bad being received well today, just remember that everyone's favorite media is whatever came out when they were 7-13 years old (yourself included).

This weekend did not feature my best performance in Burnout 3's Crash Mode.

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

4-panel vertical comic. (1) 100 Years Ago [two people standing next to bicycle with small car nearby] PERSON 1: It’s too dangerous riding a bike with these cars around. I should get a car, too. (2) 50 Years Ago [two people between smaller car and bigger car] PERSON 2 with short hair: Small cars are less safe in collisions with larger vehicles, so I should get a bigger one. (3) Today [two people between big car and even bigger car] PERSON 1: Everyone has huge SUVs now. If I don’t get the biggest one, I’m putting my family at risk. (4) Soon [two people next to large armored car with spiked clubs attached] PERSON 2: If I don’t install more whirling spike clubs, I’ll be destroyed by all the other drivers who...

getting harder to argue that the establishment democrats actually care about winning and accomplishing things, isn't it. in the sense of defeating the republicans and enacting the policies they run on, anyway

Did I miss the point of Super Size Me when I saw it in high school like 7 years ago? I thought the message wasn't that eating 4000 calories of McDonalds is bad for you, but that there are people out there who actually eat 4000 calories of McDonalds per day. But nobody else sees it that way?

Admittedly brutalism is not great for the environment with all the concrete, but it's still a whole architectural style that deserves way more respect than it currently has in the public eye, which is mostly "ew, I hate this, idc about historical preservation or anything good, just get rid of it,".
