Lol when I went to college I jumped through all the hoops to start a club so I could play Halo using their projectors. I called my video game club "Brainrot" Now that same college is looking for a FULL TIME ESPORTS COACH... Too bad I didn't graduate.

You simply cannot beat republicans by using their tactics, because their tactics produce the kind of winner take all, ends justify the means, “this world is too hard to save everyone”attitude that is fertile soil for fascism while alienating half of your own base. Also, they’re just better at it…

Cis liberals are woefully unprepared for this fight because they've spent more time talking over us than learning from us. They think it's just sports, that some of us might take our own lives. They don't even understand many of us cannot produce any hormones on our own anymore and we'll slowly die

There was a point where conspiracies lost all the neon and sparkle, and it suddenly seemed that was the point. Conspiracies themselves (by and large) were "the conspiracy." It doesn't have to be by design per se I heard in a movie once "let em run with that if they wanna embarrass themselves."

I adored No Man's Sky. I started about halfway through its development. I was more into than any game I've ever played. But then I noticed the planets don't move. And that they aren't even organized in an orbital system. They're just in a clump. I get it...limitations. But it broke immersion.
Stephen (@tossingwaffles.bsky.social) reply parent
The thing about Starfield is its OK. It has the bones to be "Space Skyrim." But every time I pick it up (despite it scratching some immediate itch) I tire of it quickly. I'll try it again after another while. Skyrim started great and only got better. No Man's Sky is a different story for me...

There's a rumor floating around that Trump is dead, but I checked the New York Times website and there's no mention of it, so I guess maybe it's true?

The twist is that the aliens that aren't really aliens convince people that the plants are killing them but it's actually nothing because it was just to get them to go past the boundaries where the wild things are so someone could test drugs on them at the old beach.

When someone blames minorities for the last (premptively next) election, myself and others point out that numbers don't add up. You'd have to get preposterously theoretical then it's quiet. They know they can't say their next argument aloud. "Yes but people like you care what they say and I don't."

My extreme example would have been, "Wouldn't we all make fun of someone in clothes woven from gold."* But I think I sorted it out. I kept my train of thought going so anyone else in my position might see. *this was my first clue that I'd made an error, I needed an extreme example to make a case
Stephen (@tossingwaffles.bsky.social) reply parent
Like so yeah, Then maybe even that would be a line to stay away from? Because people in the circles with higher empathy are likely to be hurt.* And empathy is not something to be quashing right now. *how much something costs and so the ego that accompanies it may not be common knowledge 😕
Stephen (@tossingwaffles.bsky.social) reply parent
If I am in error here I seek to discover it If pointing out the sheer audacity of a person's attitude is only exceeded by their portrayal of themselves via media they produce can be harmful to those finding or creating identity then yes that's bad. Hmmm..
Stephen (@tossingwaffles.bsky.social) reply parent
Agreed but within "appearance" is some sticky ground, Or maybe it is a truly slippery slope? Because expressing your identity through clothing and accessories is fine, but at some point we nearly all agree there is a line. Usually it is a matter of $ spent, but it can equally be described as ego.

I was talking to my wife about the show. Explaining how into it I am but I do not care about the characters. I do not identify as anyone, I just need to see what happens. She said, "The show is the character. Alien (the franchise) is your baby and you just want to see that they do it justice"

I thought this was a very funny joke the first time I scrolled past. He's currently explaining to me that it was not the people that voted FOR Trump that doomed us but all that splintering on the left... 🤣 I'm waiting for him to explain why the numbers didn't indicate that.

That's weird... that's not what THE ACTUAL NUMBERS SAY. You have to start making up pretend people that are theoretical votes in numbers that are frankly laughable to swing things against the Trump brainwashing. But I can't tell you facts... what's that called when you can't tell someone facts?

No. It really isn't. Ignorance is how we got Trump. People believing what Fox news said and nothing else. I have some in laws that are FINALLY starting to see the light. And they STILL have trouble accepting some truths. It is NOT because of theoretical marginalized community votes.

This is all totally fabricated data. I don't even think they're running a real bot service I think you are correct they are just searching keywords and harassing people. I did comment on a post regarding Snoop, the rest? All made up. But in another post he seems to reference my opinions on Newsom.

What I want to see is affordable mics that use a multi mic set up to filter out the unintended audio. By having an array on the end instead of a single mic they could identify the sound closest to the mic and effectively mute all others.
Stephen (@tossingwaffles.bsky.social) reply parent
They kind of do. And they make better and better ones all the time just using math. But the trick right now is defining "nose" I mean "noise" because if you key it off of voice it will still pick up unintended background voices.
