That's the thing, your perception of reality is distorted by ideology
Middle-aged genderfluid retro gaming millennial socialist failslime. Very friendly if you don't say any of my activation phrases. Still friendly if you do but I will be thinking very impolite things about you.

That's the thing, your perception of reality is distorted by ideology
We actually don't though
The Animated Series was the golden era of The Joker, where he was exactly as likely to endanger the lives of hundreds of people as he was to pull a harmless prank, depending entirely on which he thought was funnier at the moment
It happened after The Dark Knight
Where's the crying statue of liberty?
Hitler and mainstream Hindu India had, and still have, a fairly amenable relationship.
Though I think he hurt himself more than anyone else, by burning out and going off the deep end. Had/has plenty of repugnant views, but also undoubtedly some mental issues as well.
The US engineered the entire conflict on both sides in the first place, why would they try and stop it?
fukc
That level of blindness and cluelessness is not possible innocently
At this point I consider people who do not yet realize the political and corporate mainstream are their enemies beyond hope, they will be wringing their hands and screaming "I don't understand why this is happening!" even as the rifles are aimed at them from the front
Hmmmmmmm looks gay I'm in
Liberal is a derogatory term, liberals are in fact the enemy
It's literally the only corralling tactic the democrats have, since they've decided to openly tell not only the few leftists left in the party but at this point even the moderates to go fuck themselves forever because they're never running a non-fascist again
Being shadowbanned makes this site a lot less fun
No, just outdated and misguided. Our enemies are capitalists and the fascists who support them, not the leftover embers of long-dead feudalism
Apparently "does he publicly get along with known Nazis" and "does he have a history of using the force of the state against the most vulnerable members of society, and vocally intent to continue doing so" are now "purity tests". I don't think it's possible to satirize this.
Actually, that's just one sentence
Pathetically outdated and misguided
Why would we work with enemies who are going to torture and kill us as soon as they get what they want?
If you're going to throw us into a pit to do so, then obviously no, we can't, you fucking clueless backstabber
He's not, he's a really bad guy. Arguably as bad as Trump, just younger and therefore not having had as much time and opportunity to do evil
Translation: "we want to lose again, even worse this time if possible"
He doesn't even talk a good game, he fraternizes with Nazis and despises transgender people
I'm into it
soup!!!!!
That zucchini looks like it's barred from street carry in at least six states
For my part, I just have crap joints, and while my proprioception isn't all that bad in motion, if I'm not actively paying attention at rest my limbs and other sticky-out bits are liable to end up anywhere just from excess laxity
Also, high overlap between autism and various genetic/congenital joint and musculo-skeletal conditions
I love discord social dynamics
Why do you think the US is democratic and China is authoritarian when all the actual evidence points to the reverse?
What do you think "authoritarianism" is, exactly? If the vast majority of citizens want these things, don't you think getting them would be a sign of democracy and not authoritarianism?
I shall, with pleasure
I hate gacha but I love women with big, muscular shoulders and malicious, mercurial personalities, so Gold Ship leaves me very conflicted
Wow turns out command economies DO work
*slaps roof of car, wincing slightly as its sharp profile cuts into my hand* this bad boy can fit SUCH A MODERATE AMOUNT of spaghetti
Damn, glad I didn't miss this one
Ain't you still got poor people to feed?
Doesn't seem likely rn but it is likely he's not doing so good
The NES has a limited palette that's heavily biased towards the high frequency side
This is stupid. Things are not going to "go back to normal" after Trump dies, and there is not going to be any "healing". The democrats are not going to do any investigations, there will be no purge, and they will make sure all his gains in oppressing vulnerable groups and workers are kept.
Our enemies? What enemies?
That may be a part of it but I suspect it also has to do with them being significantly richer than the next two generations as well
People can hate on Nintendo as a company all they want but they still make the best AAA games
Sure, I.... guess??
No, I'm going to keep making fun of the French, thanks
The amount of effort and power it would take to "take over" the democrat party is like, five or six times the amount it would take to just build a working class party from scratch. Are you just really into donkeys??
I wanna see him strung up by his feet
Gross
MY bedfellow, MY business
Fuckin HATE it when he does that
Female empowerment written by sociopaths
bet
Oh god she can't see the cancel download button
Hey remember when you extrajudicially assassinated a US citizen by drone
She also appears in CvS2
Originally Final Fight, but she made her way into the Street Fighter series in, iirc, one of the Alpha games
Maki!
There is no locker in the world that is dark and cramped enough to stuff this boy inside until he learns socially acceptable behaviors
What the fuck kind of stupid ass nerd name is that
Oh no, let's not throw out reality while we're praising good behavior: PLENTY of scientists use excellent methodology and work with great discipline on missions antithetical to public health, whether in the weapons industry, in advertisement psychology, in advanced economics, or many other fields
A Nazi can be gay, trans, black, or any other identity; the only thing none of them are is human
It's essentially not even a statistic; I don't think there's any margin of error small enough that that wouldn't just register as 0%
Which iirc is an underrepresentation by a factor of ~10x?
To me, the series that carried strategic shmup play past the arcade era was R-Type
Most of the older shmups feel like that for a combination of quarter-eating reasons and also because hardware limits made more analysis-reaction based bullet hell play unfeasible
I just started a metroidvania called Zexion, but I've also been playing a lot of [REDACTED FOR THE FAINT OF HEART] to catch up with recent updates. Besides that, school started up again
Is it a Spike Chunsoft style mystery dungeon game?
It's grown to match its old reputation as literally only being good for tech support
It's far from the only PS2 game I'm interested in playing on my own CRT again
I have been wondering that myself for a while, when I have some spare income and time I plan to make a couple quick purchases and rig up my PS2 with one
I'm glad it's them and not us
There may be trans Nazis but there are still no Nazi people
No, not Nazis
What an appropriate account name
(because of disc load lag on the PS2, to be clear, not for any other reason)
Not sure which is worse, I'd happily kill either type of person
Or that you are motivated by loyalty to moneyed interests and their well-being and shared humanity simply doesn't enter your thoughts at all
yee
Wonder what his cardiopulmonary health looks like
Diamonds are supposed to be pretty clear, not sure how you messed that part up
Tbh tho, I don't see how therapy hasn't been that always; it may be noticeably worse right now but the US has always been an anti-life nation with intolerable living conditions. I suppose the main thing that has changed is therapy becoming more accessible to workers and not just capitalists.
One of the only games I've ever played that's markedly better emulated than on hardware
Thus, unless an epidemic or other broad health issue begins to affect worker productivity on a large scale, capitalist medicine is more than happy with bandaid solutions
There's a lot to be said about that, but the short of it is that all health care under capitalism is aimed solely at keeping workers at work as much as possible, regardless of how detrimental it is to their actual health.
Least we got the furry one
Still waiting for a Touhou platform fighter
It's one thing if you find the idea of bigotry being aimed at inanimate objects ironically amusing, but those people aren't the ones throwing the word around as if it were a punchline in itself
It would be absurd if they were, given the US was the engineer of the entire conflict in the first place
The thing liberals are most frightened of is a broad working class coalition, and they will do anything in their power to prevent one
That's likely the main idea in the first place
Under a socialist scheme, workers rendering themselves redundant is a thing to be celebrated; the reduction of drudgery, whether physical or mental, reduces the burden on everyone. It is the relentless demand for ever-increasing profit that turns automation into a crisis.
That's because it exists in a capitalistic society, and that's the purpose of all technology in a capitalistic society
Sadly that's the best thing you can do with it nowadays
Literally every frame of this episode would be perfect for this page
Yep that's them alright ❤️
Always a tragedy when Economic Realities™ cut short creative potential like that
Understandable though, as weighed down as she is
Hammer and hoe
I don't feel much better about state operatives
