Oh lol, you're right, I guess it just being Minecraft textures is probably more plausible than it being a super modified game engine. I just thought Minecraft mod because sometimes I get a lot of this stuff in my feed that looks kind've like mini games made from Minecraft. Seems to be a thing people do.

I mean, it is a movie from the 1900s, so how did they do it?

Yeah all my MySpace friends were people I made friends with on forum sites. And we were actually friends that actually spoke and messaged other. Novel concept for 'social' media, I know.

As a South African, there could've been at least some punishment for some people. Basically everyone was forgiven, and presented with the opportunity to learn lessons by themselves and evolve. And 32 years later, Afrikaner farmers are trying to convince Trump that there's a white genocide and that they're all precious little victims.

I know that conservatives have a hard time learning anything and doing any evolving (if they could they wouldn't be conservative) but maybe it would've helped if at least some examples were made. Because 'love and light' and 'forgive and forget' didn't work.

Face, meet leopards. I know that having a female PM was soooo devastating for them that they had to elect right wingers to "defeat the woke" or whatever. But I guess they get what they deserve now.

Personally, my sympathy for people that hammer their own faces and then cry that it hurts, is at zero percent.

If they can't get the zombie of Karl Marx risen from the grave to run, they would rather be led by right wing christian nationalist pedophiles.

Personally I don't think there's much to 'get'. They don't want to be men, they are men. And that doesn't have to mean toxic and sexist and a bigot. Not all men lol.

Side note: something funny I've noticed is that transmascs get the exact same "you'll never be a woman" / "you'll always be man" comments from people on mainstream social media. Makes it really look like it's actually all just bots getting triggered by the word "trans". But they've only been programmed to shit on trans women, so all they do when it comes to trans men is give them affirmation.

Looks like some kind of Minecraft mod to me. But with a modified camera and physics that let objects fall.

Pussies are strong. What this guy is, is a weak little scrotum.

Most 'nerd' stuff. Comic book movie discussion has gone to shit because people have become weird about it. When it's not manosphere bullshit, it's people expecting Endgame level quality and stakes for every single movie now, who would've shat on Iron Man if it came out today, and who need to be reminded of the absolute horse shit that we used to get. They're starting to rival the Star Wars fans in terms of being insufferable.

Outside of the cosy games spaces that I've been hanging around, all I ever hear from Gamers™ is some controversy about a female character being a game. Or gasp a black character. They're happy with the main protagonist being a woman if the jiggle psychics are set to max though.

And online at least, the alternative scene has gone to shit. People from the anti jock subcultures started listening to jocks with microphones on podcasts. People who grew up listening to Jonathan Davis singing about being called a "faget", went on to become people who call others "betas". Metal went from representing rebellion to representing people who go "stop making it political".

And so many 'punks' seem to have become Joe Rogan fans too. I've even had to argue with people calling me a "woke lefty" in fan spaces for The Clash. We all laughed when Joe Rogan said "conservative is the new punk" but it's an even bigger joke because half the people that took his word for it were punks.

Famously, married couples were shown to sleep in separate beds.

First thing I thought of was Bert and Ernie.

Honestly I'm sure it's still shit to have people / bots coming along to try and bring you down, even if they get it wrong and you can have a laugh about it afterwards. But these people's dumb comments will usually get posted for everyone to laugh at the dumb bigots who can "always tell".

I really can't speak for someone else's feelings but that sounds like a kind of ewwphoria to me. Turning attempts at bigotry into a celebration.

Even the ones who aren’t bots just rarely think of trans mascs

Yep. It's all rooted in a type of misogyny. I think 95% of the anti trans crowd are men who think washing their own asses is gay, and who are absolutely terrified of finding a trans woman attractive. To the point that half the time now, they can't interact with any women without trying to transvestigate or some shit.

Hasn't this study / analysis already been done? And I'm pretty sure that it was established that if you have schizophrenia already waiting to come to the surface, marijuana will probably trigger that. But not cause it.

If it caused it, there would've been a massive notable increase in people suddenly "catching" schizophrenia like it's an airborne virus, anywhere that it was legalized or decriminalized.

The thing with conspiracy theorists is that they think the responsiblity is on other people to prove them wrong, and not on themselves to prove their bullshit right. And reaches a point where even if someone proves them wrong, it's just 'woke' propaganda from George Soros transmitted by Jewish space lazers.

I'm 40 and I also do now, just to piss off my peers that turned into their parents, and to remind myself to keep exploring new music so that I don't become one of these people that get stuck in time and unable to relate to newer generations.

I like '90s music (it's my childhood decade) but I also dislike people who act like things "back in their day" are objectively the best, because I heard all that shit before from old people when I was a kid.

Personally, if I had that shit pulled on me, I would probably demand to know their process of grading papers. Because from what I've been reading, a lot of teachers and lecturers are starting to use AI tools to assist them.

And as far as I'm concerned, if I have paid an absolute fucking fortune to be there and be taught by human beings, I'm expecting them to actually do their fucking jobs and not hand it off to Elon Musk's plagiarist CP machine. Especially if they're going to be going around accusing students of using AI.

Just wanted to put this here for anyone who saw my mini saga of trying to decide to make a community. I'm not gonna flake, I'm gonna do it. I've just got a mountain of things that need doing in the 'real' world that I think I should tackle before making any commitments here.

I wish I could agree, but from the UK to Germany to Australia to South Africa, not insignificant amounts of people have taken a look at the USA and gone "I want some of that too". At least Americans had the 'excuse' of thinking they were gonna get cheaper eggs or some shit. But the people who have had the advantage of watching this unfold from the outside and still want their own wannabe MAGA movements, are just trash with no excuse.

I think a 3rd of the world will celebrate, a 3rd will cry, and the other 3rd won't be able to tell the difference between the other two.

I'll believe this just because fuck the Osbournes. You can tell they're not the real deal by how Sharon and Jack suck up to right wing conservative christian pedophiles, and worship AI.

It's so easy these days. Either when I was younger and dumber, I just didn't notice reactions from people. But these days all you need to do is wear a purple hoodie or something, and you start noticing pearls being clutched by christians and broccoli haired Clavicle Boy fans when you walk by.
