how do i. STOP the mind goblins

hhhhhhhhhhh

Much appreciated. Haven’t found any time to read anything, regrettably, but I have bookmarked your lists!

Part of the sign up process I went through was to copy a line from something Marx wrote (can’t remember now I’m a bad communist) to be approved for an account.

Maybe it wasn’t like that in the past but it was made clear in the sign up processs that the admins are ML communists and run their instance with those beliefs informing their moderation decisions.

He said, as he replied to everyone in the thread that he did not agree with.

Thank you for the thorough answer, this is what I was looking for.

Where do you draw the line?

I’m asking if its good or if its edgelord shovelware.

Have you played it?

So you’re saying this game is a work of art that will endure the ages? Worthy of hundreds of years of praise?

Horses, a first-person psychological horror adventure about “the burden of familial trauma and puritan values, the dynamics of totalitarian power, and the ethics of personal responsibility” set on a ranch where nude human beings in horse masks are treated as livestock.

Is this just a game for edgelords or is there something compelling under that mess of a description?

Edit: We don’t have to pretend every game is art - there’s crap out there. I’m asking if anybody thinks this thing has redeeming qualities based on actual information about the game, not hypotheticals.

Friend, the totals are percentages, not absolute counts

This poll annoyed me so much I googled it. It’s just a really shitty poll. There is no reason to believe the 5 listed jobs is a subset of the answers. This is an infographic summarizing a single question from a survey that seems to be commissioned by LEGO.

Article from the “Harris Poll”

I couldn’t find like, an academic paper describing the poll. There’s no methodology for it I can find. It’s just some corporate fluff piece, frankly.

So I guess 3% if these are the only 3 countries included

Yep, only 3 countries. This is just a trash poll.

It says all the children were given an option to pick up to 3 answers.

Mmhmm, I also noticed that, which is why it’s the second sentence in my post.

Given the small sample size

It’s a survey of 3,000? It’s still possible that only one person was giving the survey to the Chinese students.

But yeah, it does look like the Chinese students got different instructions or had them explained differently or something. Just a strange poll.

18+52+37+47+56=210 for China. Each child could pick up to 3 answers. The average number of jobs the Chinese children picked was 2.

For USA/UK the average was about 1. Very few children selected more than one answer.

That’s weird. What a weird poll. Were there only 5 possible choices? I would have told you I wanted to be a veterinarian at that age, if I answered at all. (I did not become a vet, I became a failure lmao)

Have you ever woke up and felt like garbage despite not doing anything diabolical the previous night (drinking etc)? And you wondered why you felt like shit?

The answer may surprise you

She, famously, has no idea how humans live. She is culturally distinct from the Europeans on the coast.

She has more in common with the fish that she speaks to. She’s basically a magic dolphin.

Meanwhile, the people in the OP image are humans (to my knowledge, I’m not a nerd). Humans who have lived in the human world with human pasts full of human culture which give context to their characterization. I’m sure their background stories matter to their fans.

Nobody argues about what color the scales on Ariel’s tail should be.

Sure but she didn’t, she’s not in the meme I’m critiqueing. I wouldn’t have that complaint about that situation. I’d have other complaints, if I wasn’t completely drowned in a bottle or something

George Floyd and Trayvon Martin were ordinary citizens living their lives, whose deaths were linked to (and probably caused by) oppression and racism. They never wanted national attention, certainly not for this.

Kirk was a propagandist whose speech contributed to the environment of political divisiveness, bigotry and intolerance. He was a public figure who thrived on the controversy caused by his hateful speech.

I can’t upvote this meme, it feels like false equivalence (I agree with the sentiment, though, it just… they don’t care if they’re being hypocritical. That’s their game).

the only good Adam Sandler movie is uncut gems

its a good movie, he is cast perfectly, and he gets punched in the face

I bought a refirb Chromebook with an Intel CPU for $150 and put Debian on it.

Its a piece of shit, but I feel like a technology racoon. Its also lightweight. I do my homework on it.

Speakers don’t work tho, but it’s OK thats what headphones are for.

You could just go cheap until u find something perfect.

one time the state of Indiana almost made pi equal to 3.2. This is the dumb shit that happens when you aren’t introduced to these topics in school. Please don’t return us to dark times.

not real
