The whole cast of Team Fortress 2.

I haven’t played that game in over a decade, yet if I read any of the lines from the game, I’ll still hear their voices loud as day. Even just seeing the word “medic” and I hear Demoman screaming it.

I always use a simple diagonal gradient with the three colours of the bisexual flag. I am bisexual, but it’s mostly because I like the colours. Whenever I get a new device, I generate an appropriately-sized gradient for its screen using GIMP.

The one exception is the background of my Steam Deck in desktop mode, which is the following because I thought it was funny:

Most of the various guilds and unions in the entertainment industry have rules regarding proper crediting.

I searched for his comments on the NYPD, all I could find was an “apology” that reads more as “potential new mayor, after years of criticism of the NYPD, realises that an openly antagonistic NYPD wouldn’t help his agenda for New York and says the bare minimum to placate them”. Keep in mind too, this is under a presidency that would gladly assist the NYPD in disturbing whatever Mamdani does when elected. He also mentions victims of police brutality in the quote. Hardly “very PRO-NYPD”, IMO.

In regards to the genocide in Gaza, he seems to be extremely pro-Palestine. He did recently visit some Zionist leaders in NYC. Jews are around 12% of the population of NYC, and whilst they certainly aren’t all Zionists, at lot of them undoubtedly are. Personally, I believe a good representative should represent every part of their constituency. You can’t realistically completely ignore these groups while running for a position like the mayor of NYC. Meanwhile, he has constantly throughout his life criticised Israel and expressed staunch support for the Palestinian cause.

Feel free to disagree with me on any of these points, but even then, don’t you think you might be letting perfect be the enemy of good in this case? Do you have another candidate you’d prefer?

With a duplication glitch, wouldn’t both technically be the same chick?

Care to share any specifics? I haven’t been following him too closely, like many others I’m a bit burnt out on US political news.

I’d bring the album 10,000 gecs by 100 gecs and show it to The Beatles. In 1965, they’d have been at peak boy-band coming hot of the release of Help! and just about to drop Rubber Soul and a few months away from dropping (IMO their greatest album) Revolver.

Imagine if instead of George Harrison getting really into Indian music, he discovered hyperpop. The Beatles are such an influencal band that it would have ripples throughout the music industry. Imagine what 100 gecs would be getting up to in an alternate universe where Revolution 9 might get replaced with something like One Million Dollars?

Cyclist seeing bike traffic: “You love to see it!”

Not condoning the death threats, but live-streaming the butt-fucking of his mom is a bit much.

When articles mention “The Economy” it just means rich people’s money.

distinction between graduate school and undergraduate school

Yeah but you’re implying there’s a distinction between universities and post-grad, not undergrad and post-grad.

Are there any grad schools which aren’t associated with a college/university?

Look at this big shot who doesn’t need roommates to afford housing.

The campfires in Celeste are great. They’re such a peaceful respite after the intensity of the gameplay.

I think it’s a tactical error to let the right-wing fascists dictate your policies before there’s even a chance they get enacted.

I’m not saying fascists aren’t cruel, I’m saying they will be cruel regardless of any reactions from opponents. Will it maybe give them an excuse to accelerate their cruelness? Sure. But there’s no doubt that their reaction to Kirk’s murder will be to implement cruelty that they were already planning on implementing.

I’m not a fan of violence, but the right hasn’t given us a choice. It’s like if a woman got raped after slapping a guy harassing her in a bar. The rapist was gonna rape regardless, and the fascists are gonna be fascists regardless. It’s victim-blaming.

I definitely agree with everything you wrote in your second paragraph, it’s that first part I take issue with. The American fascist movement is going full steam ahead with their Nazi shit, and would do so regardless of Charlie Kirk getting murdered.

Will they try to make a martyr out of him? Of course they will.

I however disagree with the notion that Nazis wouldn’t be Nazis if opposition “took the high road” and debated the Nazis instead of responding to their violence in kind. The Nazis are gonna do Nazi shit regardless, and their justifications will always be bullshit.

Do you truly think the Nazis wouldn’t have imposed martial law if it weren’t for that assassination?

Wow if only the Czech resistance didn’t kill that dude, we could have avoided the Holocaust! The real fascists are the ones resisting fascism.

Sir this is literally just a shitpost
