Pokemon is well-known for false choices in their dialogue- but in Scarlet/Violet a character asks you if you want to be "Rivals for life" and if you keep saying "No" she keeps asking more and more aggressively until she's just yelling "YOU. ME. RIVALS. YES?". It always gets me for some reason.
Ok team — funniest -interactive- moments and jokes in games? Not cutscene based, prompted either by gameplay interaction or a choice

Examples:
- Portal 2’s asking you to press space to speak to confirm you don’t have brain damage, and jumping instead
- Baldur’s Gate 3 Volo Eye extraction

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Other than Oshawott being sub-f tier compared to Mudkip and Piplup, and even worse when up against Froakie, 2/3 ain't bad.

The Trump administration has joined the war on HIV/AIDS, on the side of HIV/AIDS.
SCOOP: The Trump administration has instructed employees and grantees not to use U.S. funds to commemorate World AIDS Day — because the observance was started by the World Health Organization.

In fact I'm pretty sure he says the opposite of that.
This! Like, I just checked to make sure because it's been awhile, but Marx does not argue that it's ok to steal from workers and artists just because capitalism is bad?

Is this platform still massively against AI or has it moved more towards acceptance?

Bloomberg has obtained the transcript of a call between Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and a senior aide to Vladimir Putin — in which Witkoff advised the aide — a Russian aide — on how Putin should go about pitching Trump on a pro-Russian peace plan aimed at bringing an end to the Ukraine war.

The following is a transcript of an Oct. 14 phone call lasting just over 5 minutes between Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump’s special envoy for peace missions, and Yuri Ushakov, Vladimir Putin’s most senio...

This is both letter and spirit of the law treason, nothing abstract about it. Look up what the sentencing guidelines are for that.
The first official confirmation that Noem herself made the decision not to turn the planes around. A couple hundred men were tortured as a result — and soon after, the Supreme Court confirmed that the Trump admin’s Alien Enemies Act process was a total violation of due process.
BREAKING:

“After receiving that legal advice, Secretary Noem directed that the AEA detainees who had been removed from the United States before the Court’s order could be transferred to the custody of El Salvador. “

Whenever you see Bari Weiss' name, remember:
PROFESSOR REFAAT ALAREER TOLD US TO HOLD HER ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS MURDER!
Bari Weiss made his home a target, and they killed Dr. Alareer, his sister, her 3 children, his brother and that brother's son.
Bari Weiss is a proud propagandist for racist murder.
Remember what Dr. Refaat Alareer told us about Bari Weiss.

I never thought all those wacky anglo-fash stories would come true in such an incredibly stupid way.

This is very true. Being a leftist doesn't *have* to take up a large portion of your life, it just suddenly did for me for unrelated reasons.
I think a lot of people in the center genuinely mistake baseline leftists and progressives for like 60s era hippies instead of just boring professionals and blue collar workers who took Mr. Rogers shit seriously lol.
what?

Labour are putting in place all of the tools and eliminating fundamental protections that will enable Reform to come in 2029 and govern in an overtly fascist and totalitarian way. No jury trials, digital ID, elimination of the ECHR etc. It feels intentional.

This will only end badly.

And we could do it all without raising taxes on average Americans, if we make sure millionaires and billionaires pay their dues.
Even Carville is budging. Economic populism works.

Cancel all medical + student debt. Raise the minimum wage. Prosecute Klarna/Afterpay. Build fast trains. Expand CTC/SS/SNAP/WIC/every social safety program in the nation. Medicare for All. Tax the rich. Do it all.

I'm not seeing any denials on the South Sea Company, very suspicious.
In the memo, “Nvidia also responds to claims that the ‘current situation is analogous to historical accounting frauds (Enron, WorldCom, Lucent) that featured vendor financing and SPVs [special purpose vehicles.)’”

Wow. Vitale wrote The End of Policing, advocating for community-based solutions for safety instead of policing.
I'm excited to announce that I have been asked to join the Mamdani Transition Team to work on community safety issues. A New Era for NYC.

Yeah, the way you fix this is by writing a book about a little guy going on an adventure or learning to crochet.
I promise you, the gaping maw of loneliness & a lack of purpose borne of the mismatch between the self you truly are & the one-size-fits-all mold of patriarchal masculinity will NOT be filled by subjecting a woman to pregnancy, childbirth, and unequal divisions of labor just so you can be a father.
