I like to imagine that once every 72 hours or so Leo shambles down the hall in the middle of the night in his bathrobe to wake up some cardinal like “sorry man emergency confession real quick” and the cardinal is like “[sigh] was it the one about finding new ways to murder JD Vance again”

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Taptaptaptaptap

I relate to needing to be on guard for things like that lol

I had something else, but then I forgot

I mean, not insistently asking why in inappropriate situations is, to meeeeee, a basic social skill

I'm not saying this to be difficult. I'm having trouble differentiating.

Aren't all social skills on some level an attempt to control how we are perceived?

Like these idiots act like they're making a thing, but once you use genai you're just the middleman between your audience and the computer making the slop. Why does the audience need *you* in that scenario?

It's also like...you don't care about your game, you don't respect yourself, you don't respect artists, you don't respect your audience. It just shows you have no pride in your work, no creative vision, nothing. So why should I care? Why would I ever give this money?

Oh, that does sound good

Like I don't really think that's what's intended here, I'm just reading wiki and feel confused by the whole idea

And like, not saying that to be shitty, just definitely not feeling like I fully understand it

It also like...the phrasing around it sort of makes it sound like there is a true self underneath or something... But also positions that as like, a bundle of flaws and impulses?

It comes up a lot, as everyone is neurodivergent now, but I'm confused/not sure I fully understand the idea of "masking"? Wrt to autism

Cause some of it sounds like "do you mean learning/practicing basic social skills?"

A couple more too why not

Happy 40th Anniversary to one of my favorite game series of all time ⚔️

I've made a lot of Zelda art over the years, here's a few of my favorites

A store with a sign that says “ADULT NOVELTIES - BJORK ALBUMS - MAGIC POKEMON YUGIOH - AIRSOFT GUNS”

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

This country is under some kind of wizard's curse where every 50 years there's a crisis that reminds everyone why it's bad for a small gang of obscenely rich assholes to control everything, and we go ohhh and then we all immediately forget again

Is there a name for a therapy or some sort of exposure or whatever that helps you accept that you will die?

This, yes, exactly this fucking shit

Bill Maher fight me irl you stupid bitch

america is all about starving cuba and killing 1 million arabs annually and giving 10 trillion dollars to israel and if you complain about that you’ll be put in a concentration camp

what happened here. where am i. why did i make this

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

Rome must burn.

A very nostalgic oc of mine

My 11yo daughter just walked in the room, looked at the tv, and said "is that a meme." I get she's new to internet culture but no. That is Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant smoking crack. It would be a fire meme tho

Please...I'm begging you... Just learn the fight mechanics...

The anchors in the NBC Olympics studio explaining they have to delay the slalom. Carmen Sandiago stole the freaking mountain. "Very little retail value" and "because she can" are phrases that are repeated. Footage of an athlete standing by a big hole, hands on hips. Frustration written on their face
