when you realize gamers are mad about women being "not hot" in games is about control and not horniness, their intentions become clearer, their worldview darker. patriarchy must be violently enforced.
it's not about good ol' wholesome horniness because any game worth playing can be modded for that.

Chile is turning to fascism and elected a literal Nazi descendant in part because of xenophobia around immigration from neighboring Latin American countries, particularly Venezuela, and all I can think is this is why I’m over nationalism. Because of we’re fighting over fake lines in the dirt.

Having an artist whip up a graphic or photoshop an asset is always going to be more in your favor than using AI.
They could’ve pulled a stock image, copyrighted and everything for this segment, and it still wouldn’t have been as bad as them using AI art.

The word “hero” gets thrown around too often, but Ahmed Al Ahmed truly fits the description.
A good guy *without* a gun who put his life on the line preventing further harm and tragedy.
May he recover quickly from his wounds and be treated with the respect he deserves.
My heart is with 🇦🇺.

A heroic moment in this anti-semitic tragedy.
The hero here is a 43 yo Lebanese immigrant and fruit stand owner named
Ahmed Al Ahmed who was shot twice in the arm (apparently bt the other gunman) after wrestling the gun away.
He will be fine according to a relative.

Did some doofus invent this guy named Edward Crabtree that Grok rolled with or did Grok make him up entirely?
Both are awful, just very slightly different in their awfulness.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

I sometimes wonder if I'm just an auld fella shaking my fist at clouds when I back off from modern tech, but the truth is, most big tech products are no longer built to be useful, they're built to rinse you for a minimum standard service. And even children can see this.
Why are kids getting into comics and is their timing spot on?

The same reason children of decades past grabbed comics instead of the radios and televisions their parents had.

Conspiracy theory: the “six-seven” meme was born out of the children trying to understand the “69” meme.
They didn’t know why the adults enjoy the funny meme number 69 (which is fair, because they are CHILDREN), so they invented their own funny, silly 60-something number.

Hey artists and Mega Man fans, new prompt. Just make your own Robot Master "-sona," OC or whatever.
Give them a theme, a name, the weapon you get from defeating them, strengths, weaknesses, music for their stage, level motifs.
Consider this before doing anything for this game.
