  • Mate, have you seen the shit he has retweeted saying he agrees? A bunch of replacement theory shit, heaps of antisemitic shit, and a while much of other racist shit.

    that many Democrat leaders have made as well

    If you watch the videos of those Democrat leaders, it’s pretty clear they’re waving to a crowd. Elon’s one was obviously a nazi salute.

    wasteful government spending

    Ah yes, wasteful stuff like vital medicine distribution and humanitarian aid, and really lowering the deficit by cutting taxes on big corporations, and giving contracts to his own company.









  • My personal rule is “do I know why that word is a swear word, and is that a dumb reason?”

    That means Anglo-Saxon words like fuck or shit are fine. They’re swear words because of William the conqueror invading England, and making all the nobility speak Norman. Then all the peasants started to use some French words to sound more posh, so the Anglo-Saxon words became ‘less pleasant’ than the Norman words, and that meant shit, fuck, and similar words just got kicked out.

    On the other hand, there are swear words I won’t use. Anything with a terrible historical use, an actually bad definition, or any religious connotation (yes, I’m religious, but I’d still keep this if I wasn’t). Example, I won’t use the word damn as a swear word, since I would never wasn’t someone to be sent to hell. No, I don’t believe that saying “damn you” will actually damn someone, but I just think it’s a swear word for a good reason.






  • I think, when done right, games are the best medium for storytelling.

    • they can do the job of both movies and books. Games like dark souls use more vague descriptions to spark imagination beyond what’s onscreen
    • they have a tactile feedback that no other medium has. Example being God of War (2018). When atreus is on his dickhead arc, he actually stops responding to player input, so the player really feels the change in his character.

    The only downsides are that they’re harder to make than other mediums, and can be much less accessible.
