The ones who walk away from Omelas is one of my favorite stories. Powerful metaphor, that.

yeah… school for me at least was a race to the bottom. Test scores and homework quotas superseded teaching creativity or critical thinking.

Her video on trans identity was were i hopped off the train. It was needlessly dismissive and not well researched.

It’s funny, Patreon cracked down years ago on Incest content forcing indie porn devs to do *nudge *nudge *wink she’s your “Landlady” stuff. I guess paypal just assumed Steam was cleaner until now.

Shounen, just like any good young adult fiction, is a morality play. Good life lessons about friendship and overcoming adversity…but it is not a substitute for personal growth. You gotta take those lessons and synthesize them.

My wife and I smuggle candy and booze in to the theaters all the time. Theaters are so understaffed and mostly by teenagers and they dont give a fuck what we’re doing.

- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 1 month ago:
Rate Your Music is a great resource for discovery, if a bit snobby.

This reminds me of a time when i used to subscribe to Hydro Homies and there was always someone in the comments tryna hawk a Berkey water filter.

The solution is multi-factorial and will take a generation to implement. Expand the social safety net, expand public education to encompass critical thinking skills and researching skills, restrict private media monopolies that hold public consciousness in a deathgrip.

If downvotes aren’t gatekeeping, then neither is saying Dark Souls is perfect the way it is and doesn’t need to be changed. Ultimately, I think we’re all picking a side on this one, and dont want to hear what the other has to say. Voting me down is your way of saying “I don’t want to see this kind of thing.” It can’t be hand-waved away as simple disagreement. There is an echo chamber at work here, it is somewhat nasty and honestly disheartening. Like when I make a joke about Miyazaki not wanting this (it is a joke after all) and everyone piles on the dislike; that’s the community trying to send me a message. And yes, I know that calling out downvoters makes them pile on more; I am proud to spit in ya’lls face. The discourse around difficulty is toxic on both sides and I hate it. Can’t even make a joke without bringing out the Defenders of the Casual or whatever. Vote me down some more, its exactly what I expect.
Sometimes difficulty is inextricable from the art, and Dark Souls is a good example of that. When people say they want it easier they are missing the message. You SHOULD have to struggle to get what you want, you SHOULD have to pay attention to the game you’re playing instead of mindlessly hacking your way through only to forget bout it days later. If a game punishes impatience and hubris, you will be more immersed in an oppressive world, you will feel like a small part of a larger tragedy that transcends your typical hero fantasy. These are the things that make the game special, and Miyazaki and his team knew what they were doing. You are spitting on their vision and their talent when you say it should be different. Lies of P… I haven’t played it, and the devs can do whatever they feel is right to make the game they want to make.
But you know, Starry Night is fine and all but its too dark and depressing. They should put some more yellow in there, really make it more accessible to the masses.

Chinese restaurant; its common round my area for chinese places to put a 1 in the title. Like “No. 1 Chinese Kitchen” which we lovingly call “No One Chinese Kitchen”

- Comment on The Tesla protests are working. 5 months ago:
I don’t know that the protest are to be given all the credit, as Tesla’s value was always inflated beyond reason. We’re seeing a correction here that was long overdue, its just Elons shitty behavior that’s catalyzed it.
