I have the experience. Close friends consumed by the alt-rightosphere. These are (arguable were) caring people who’d stop and help strangers stranded on side of the road. People I considered like minded. But now it’s “Democrats are pedophiles, Clinton flew with Epstein and here’s how the election was stolen” (the irony is not lost on me).

Trying to discuss this constructively just doesn’t work. It always ends with 😡👉"Your information is wrong and you’re being brainwashed"👈😔 you can show them all of the stuff but their eyes glaze over and they’re just thinking about how to find an article that either: Spins how the negative thing is actually good or just outright false.

Not much. My country is going through an authoritarian take over and I’m not too optimistic about the future.

Isn’t that the actor that hat had an actual cult following?

I think it’s kinda hard to find spaces where people are gonna be willfully ignorant of the issues currently plaguing our lives. Sure, everyone wants a break from it and not think about it the latest infringement on our rights but outrage fatigue is something we need to be aware of.

A classic. Funny how the DJ was able to decipher that. I believe the guy asked: essos es Reebok or son Nike ( is it Reebok or is it Nike)

It’s always been a rich man’s country. All for one, none for all.

I’m literally thinking of different ways to kill Nazis…in minecraft

People like this are just primed to make up their own reality. Rather than face the truth that he has a (probably) shitty job, his mind instead translates it to: “those people are lazy, I’m a hard worker. I’m working a holiday because I’m a tough man and can handle it”

I don’t see how any government functions after the first few days. By that time, everyone knows they’re looping. So why go work? Maybe a small percent will but a vast majority of people will just do their own thing. No need to worry about job security when you’ll wake up tomorrow with the same amount of money.

Personally, I think the world would probably be very pleasant if we all looped. No one would be able to take anything from you, since you’d get it right back the next day. Might just be boring after a couple thousand loops, as no new movies, games or news would be able to be produced.

I don’t see how a blind guy who needs assistance moving can outplay someone who has neither of those disadvantages

Edit: I looked it up and it’s more of comedy/drama so the premise is kinda meant to be absurd, I think

The Internet access should be classified as a utility but good luck getting ISPs to stop lobbying against that

For those that don’t get it

I was hoping it’d get a ton of traction with the remasters but steam charts/DB numbers don’t look promising.

Very true. I have been buying card carrying cases for my phones for a few years now, so it’s just keys and phone for me.

It’s been like a decade since I last went to that site, can’t believe he’s still going

The right wing propaganda machine is too powerful. A close friend of mine works a trade and he’s constantly being engaged with right wing talking points. He voted for Trump. He lives with another close friend who has a master’s in history who constantly refutes all the talking points but I doesn’t matter when all his coworkers, his social media and online media are riling him up with this shit.

At my job I’ve spoken to Hispanics, that can barely speak English, that are die-hard Trump fanatics. Feels like I’m taking crazy pills.

What’s wild to me is that you can just use cheat engine if you want to get those things without spending cash. Or install mods. I don’t enjoy grinding and that’s usually what I do when I want x amount of potions or crafting components.

I appreciate the response. Unfortunately my partner wouldn’t want to play such dated games. I on the other hand don’t mind them.

There’s just not many story mode games that compare to Larians for co-op. Besides take two/a way out, I haven’t found any RPGs that are worthwhile (borderlands was the closest I guess but the gameplay is boring)
