Can’t even get some people to stop using Twitter when using it supports literal Nazis.
And all they have to do is just… Not go to the site.
There’s still slavery in the US, as it is still allowed when incarcerated. No one fights back.
excellent point
I couldn’t believe how many people bought that Harry Potter game that came out like 2 years ago. Not only was the game shitty looking ubishlock, but also we’ve known for years just how f***ed up jk rowling is as a person.
Having said that, as I child I remember protesting against the school trying to encourage me to buy Harry Potter at the school book faire. I get now that they were only trying to encourage me to read by suggesting a popular book, but I really didn’t like the cult-like obsession around this book even as a kid, so I’ve had bad vibes around the book series since the very-late 90s lol.
I got a copy for free, but also, it was actually a pretty fun game, gameplay wise. The absurd schizm between being a student with rules while also being a game character who can transform people into exploding barrels and throw them.at their friends was also incredibly wild.
And the number people you get to murder while blaming the bad guy for it.
Meh, my wife got it for so little money that it wouldn’t give more than maybe 2p to Rowling. It looked to be a reasonably enjoyable game, and she played a genderqueer character since that was doable.
yeah but despite the devs being allies some of the money still goes to JKR who has made it very clear that she will use it to support anti-trans lobbying. not that the 2p would do a lot, just as a comment to the genderqueer thing
I agree, and she also said she would never have paid full price for it. Back in the day she was a big Harry Potter fan, but now it’s tailed off a lot because of the horribleness of Rowling … which is a plus for me, I didn’t have to sit through any of the Amazing Beasts stuff
so many people live in an insanely priveledged, comfort and convience addicted, emotionally stunted, personalized bubble, and have no idea how much stronger and capable they are, how little they settle for and little they expect, and how awful and impactful being this way is, and there are endless forms of mental gymnastics and logistifying each one of them will do to dilute themselves from understanding this shit and taking any reasponsability for being passive beneficiaries to empire and the violence and suffering that it requires to operate. it is so frustrating and i am fed up and dont care who i offend, i have seen and experienced too much of the horror, your feelings are not more important than peoples lives.
Yep its ableist and privileged to argue against slavery when some people rely on their slaves to support their family. /s
If you want to abolish slavery you’re a liberal. Real leftists use their slaves to fight capitalism. /s
HOLY SHIT THIS ANALOGY IS PERFECT
Seriously. That and Tesla.I live in a progressive city and the number of teslas makes me angry. Some of them have the apology stickers but most don’t.
I saw one the other day that had a plate with “BLMLESS”. That either says “blameless” which, no, or it means “Black Lives Matter -less”.
The cars are one thing, but that horrible excuse for a truck gets all the aggression and hatred I can muster on the roads that won’t lead me to prison. Those things only started to be sold once the Republican’s favorite South African went full mask off. No excuse for owning one of those.
In LA the amount of them is so incredibly cringe inducing. They never, ever stop looking like shit, no matter what crappy wraps or vanity plates with reddit tier puns they put on it.
You can fix that with a mask, a bat, a change of clothes, preplanned routes that you never repeat, and not currently having any other hobbies.
At the time I bought my Tesla, it was the only viable long range EV. Nowadays there is no excuse, there are better, cheaper EVs available.
Not many sadly on the US. Basically everything from a legacy automaker is the same shit they made before, but with the gas tank and engine replaced with a battery and electric motors.
The only real alternatives that actually take advantage of EVs to give new functionality and convenience, are the ones that didn’t make gas vehicles. Companies like Lucid, Polestar, and Rivian.
For those coming from a gas car, there’s not much to miss. But coming from a Tesla, the missing functionality is extremely apparent. Simple things like the ability to leave climate on when you go into a store, working phone keys with automatic proximity unlock and relocking. So many legacy automakers, even the ones often mentioned as “good” EV alternatives miss easy to add functionality like that. They leave in unnecessary crap like having you press an Engine Start/Stop button even though the car never really is fully “off”.
VW and Hyundai are producing great EVs.
Now I’m curious what the original said. Cracker Barrel? Papa John’s?
