Cave et al v. Jester

The post is about their fans, not the validity of their associated religions.

Bottom right should be white Jesus instead.

Oreo blizzard is my go to DQ order, I’ll try this next time.

EDIT: Folks very fairly pointed out the dismissiveness of my wording, and y’all are right. While I do think therapy can and does help with addictions of any type, my wording about guilt rather than addressing the actual addiction only served the humor I was going for and wasn’t respectful for the condition. I’m leaving what I wrote as is below mostly because the quip about birding and boobies still gives me a chuckle.

Men will do literally anything other than go to fucking therapy. Jesus. Guys. You’re allowed to watch porn, let’s just direct the fear of people finding out into finding ethical porn you don’t need to feel guilt for. Or better yet, pay for your porn and support creators directly.

Also find some hobbies that get you out of the goon cave. Take up fucking birding and go find some different boobies.

Bad take. Platner catching flack from both parties says everything, and he has seemingly united a deeply purple state with a traditionally very red working class. He is helping guide a state full of gun owning libertarians into realizing their politics are actually radically left and pro working class. I grew up in Maine, with people that are pro personal liberties and personal privacy and anti billionaire. Platner is showing those folks that all people are deserving of privacy and dignity while uniting against the Epstein class. A trans woman at a town hall of his I think said it best:

“I have changed a lot from the person I once was, I believe you are capable of the same”

As a trans person myself, Platner’s politics are some of the most honest and human I have seen in a long time. He’s helping deep rural Mainers come around to kinder ways of thinking, particularly toward people of color and queer folk, just as much as he is pushing the comfort of establishment democrats with anti capitalist thinking. I have also lived in Pennsylvania and am deeply wary of people pulling what Fetterman pulled. Maybe I’m misguided. Maybe I’ll be eating my words in a year, but I do find myself willing to give him the second chance he seems to be trying to earn.

EDIT: Obligatory mention of a top level distrust of all politicians, yada yada yada, electoralism bad, yada yada yada, voting bad, yada yada yada, don’t revoke my anarchist card. To me this post is about who to vote for if already operating under the assumption of voting at all.

Imagine if people decided that a desire to help others wasn’t confined to adolescence…

I appreciate the attention to detail of matching the number of times adapt is written out to the number of adapters. Quality stuff right there.

Truly the most kind interpretation of his likeness.

Balatro. It becomes a spreadsheet sim very quickly, in my opinion. I think part of the reason Binding of Isaac and Hades feel much more timeless to me is that every run has this sort of intuitive randomness vs this just full rng you have to counter with math. Balatro feels solved, and while I guess you could count Hades max heat run as “solving” the game, the replayability of it feels much higher because builds feels more dynamic than “make number go up faster”.

Middle aged white men with YouTube channels don’t stand a chance.

Gas leak or not, I think they’re onto something with that initial take…

What do you mean “trend”? Blahaj Zone has been horny this whole time, y'all just aren’t keeping up!

Already have been comrade🫡

Wait noooo!! I’ve literally done this!!! Please tell me it’s not manipulation! It’s ethical I swear!! 🤣

I know this is the piracy comm, so this is a bit antithetical, but if it’s mostly for smaller/local bands considering just buying their albums on Bandcamp. Or maybe there’s a kind soul on SoulSeek that is already a fan of the groups you’re looking for.

Every tool I knew of that could pull from Spotify has shut down one by one over the last year or so. As such, I’m also interested in what other folks have to say in this thread.

This is going to get buried, but I’m so glad to see this discussion on our comm!! This is something I’ve tried to bring up among other communities I’m in and it never really gains traction. Almost 100 comments on this is awesome!! Luv y’all very much!

NOOOOOOO!! Where am I going to get my lobotomy! Now I’ll never be like the other girls!

Please let this be your sign to start ditching corporate platforms across the board. Enshitification will come for your pristine app experience eventually. Go spend your Spotify monthly bill on one album every month from bandcamp or something. Own your own media. Share it with friends. GET OFF CORPO AD PLATFORMS! I realize this is the fediverse, so people are already kind of on board, but I think music streaming is often given a pass, or sneaks by our focus when discussing these issues.

Isn’t the issue the exploitation of sex workers, mostly women? Like if you’ve found ethical porn, by all means wack your shit to it. I just think the things people are able to explore with writing, or hell even animation if the artists aren’t exploited, are much more varied and interesting without exploiting actors. Like I’ve found a few queer porn projects that are like owned by the actors and stuff. Basically porn coops, which is fucking awesome.

It’s not a photoshop, you too can make the genie guess it’s the bullet that killed Charlie Kirk. The questions leading to the guess were interesting and it felt like there was a bit of a logical leap at the end, but it did in fact guess that, and it does in fact say “we are Charlie Kirk” which is very interesting.

Update: after some 70 questions it could not guess “Alex Pretti’s handgun”, best it could do was generic types of guns. It also ends up repeating questions eventually, which is interesting.
