I like how nintenx is pretending he wasn't part of maga

He deserves credit for being one of like five MAGA shitposters on the Internet who are also not pro-Russia/Putin.

I'm e/acc and dark MAGA.

Overall while I do not approve of all the methods (i.e. calling Zelensky a dictator) I'm still supportive overall of the policies. Smaller government, pro tech, dismantlling the NGO grift machine, ending the wars. I'm not against that at all. I don't agree with some things and unlike with the left you won't be cancelled if you do. I approve removing all the baby killers out of Gaza and turning it into a crypto Casino with condos. Would I party it up in St. Petersburg? Not with the Putin government, if there was another government? Maybe.

The conservative side of things? Like abortion and everything, not my jam. The LGB thing, well if it remains just protecting the kids against the T's and returns the Male/Female options in video games it has my support. If they start to actually prosecute people that would be bad but I don't see that happening.

Tariffs I'll wait and see what it'll do in the long run. If it leads to everyone scrapping tariffs that's a good thing. The US is hardly the only country with tariffs. I'd rather get our stuff from China even cheaper tbh.

And Trump can troll on the internet all he wants but when it comes to things like Ukraine he should listen to folks like General Kellogg. I was never big on the Russian government but I can see the angle they're playing.

Overall though, this breakneck speed is just how it is in my world of tech and AI. Things change every day. Bringing that into government bureaucracy, which is literally the slowest to change will lead to some bumps on the road. It mostly scares people because they're not used to it and I think Elon and friends should be a bit more mindful of that.

lol wholeheartly fuck off.

I really wonder how she thought this would go

Apparently there are texts leaking now (thanks Era!). This dude is a fucking goon lol



"sry babe cant text now we just touched down under sniper fire"

Has she even flipped?

This sounds like the same kind of shit

[D3RANG3D]

It is!

[Besticus Maximus]

Ash sarkar is a massive massive cunt. I don’t think I can cope with her making her way to maga verse.

She’s made an entire career out of hating jews and traducing the Labour Party while boosting dickheads. Kind of unbelievable that she’s now selling herself as captain sensible.

Why the fuck would the American government be  giving money to LGBTQIPPA+2S charity in a first-world western ally?

All those years of Trans Rights Activists insisting British TERFs are funded by religious/far right American money. Everything truly is projection for them.

He got the copypasta wrong. 

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

[Uncle]

I know it's already laughable on its face but I can't help but think how the "boss battle against impossible odds" is just the story told by the game, when in fact the game was designed by someone who wanted you to beat it so you would feel good about the experience and also so you would see all their hard work designing the next level/the ending

"oh nooo sephiroth has become an unkillable actual god" then you compare his attack and health and abilities vs. the average party's attack and health and abilities and find out that there's like a 90% chance of winning with obvious/common strategies

and how retarded you have to be to accept what the game tells you about the boss's power, rather than looking at the fact that somehow you always manage to beat these unkillable gods, weird

[TylenolJones]

Benji, can we start banning anyone not following Joy-Ann Reid on at least 6 social media platforms?

They just want to pee.

The witness, who Reduxx will refer to as Emma to protect her identity, had previously been sexually assaulted by another trans-identified male inmate, Steven "Sam" Mehlenbacher in 2020.

DOGE owes everything to Gamergate, from its aesthetics to its tactics to its manpower, which largely draws on the same young men now 10 years older who were radicalized to the far-right via social media. As journalist Max Read pointed out recently, Musk's project isn't "like" Gamergate, but "straightforwardly is Gamergate, composed of many of the exact same people" rehashing the same unjustified grievances. Literally, in between bouts of attacking federal workers as "parasites," Musk and his fanboys also whine that video games are too "woke" and this justifies fascism.

that's a real shame

seems like something that might not have happened if you didn't go after people just trying to enjoy their video games in peace

They had to literally draft 5 bullet points of what they had done an entire week

What Elon doesn't understand is that in government you can spend an entire week trying to word a brief correctly to stop an insane ideologue Minister from making a bad decision that will materially disadvantage a bunch of people simply because he's too stupid to actually understand his own portfolio.

That doesn't transfer well to 15 minute increment billable hours timesheets.

[benji]

So many people try to understand government without ever watching Yes, Minister.
