I'm gonna go see Until Dawn and The Accountant 2 tomorrow. Saturday finish the poster for my short film, try and finish South of Midnight sometime this weekend too. Pretty chill one. You lot?

The Tankie YouTube video linking has started so it's only a matter of time.

Mid-page Cunt:

I'm surprised cunt ranks so high. Are Brits not down with it after all? Meanwhile did anyone even ask about fag?

Cunt is offensive. It's why it's such a fun word.

It's a great way to distinguish if the person you're with is a true friend or not. If they're comfortable saying cunt in front of you, they truly are comfortable with you as a person.

Is that Katy? Legitimately thought it was a male stunt performer.

It's funny how it's total open season on Katy Perry. She wasn't even the only one on that dumb spaceflight but somehow everyone is pinpointed on her

She was on the outer before she turned herself into Bezos PR. She committed the crime of releasing a middling pop album.

I have the opposite problem. I have to tell my mom "please, spend the money you have to make your own life better," because she stresses so much about leaving something behind for her kids and grandkids.

I would like to dedicate this song to my favorite suburban furry revolutionary

Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me, where is sanity?
Tax the rich, feed the poor
'Til there are no rich no more
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding, economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money? No, not poor me
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
Oh, yeah
World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, stop the war
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you

My childhood best friend (ages 5 - 22) once told me his biggest turn on would be if I got "good and married" to a woman and then he'd sleep with her.

"I'd have the best orgasm of my life knowing how sad and cucked you would be and I would be the one doing it".

He wasn't angry with me, he wasn't making a joke. He looked ashamed, but was being honest.

Yesterday one of the Big Wigs handed down a project late in the day that needed to be done by end of day. About 2 hours.

His secretary enlists me to help. She is super stressing. I try to sooth her and let her know it will all get done.

She says to do the major part of it one way but I know from experience that will take up all of the time. I mentioned we have a way to shave off some time and make things easier on the back end. She says "No lets do it this way." I reassure here that my way is faster and I will take care of it. I proceed to do it the fast way and we got the whole project done within the 2 hours.

Next day the manager calls me in and basically tells me I was wrong to question the Secretary. I say her way would have taken much longer and it more than likely wouldn't have gotten done with out people staying late. I was trying to be helpful and efficient for her sake. I am told this was wrong and I should just do it the way I am told.

This blows my mind that the Manager takes the secretaries side who would not have gotten her job done in time had it not been for me. Yet Im wrong because I didnt just do as Im told. I save the company time and money but this secretaries feelings are more important. "Company Harmony".

Ive been told before to be more helpful and more efficient and to put myself out there. The second I do Im told "No, not like that."

Well okay, I can not suggest how to do things faster or better. That's fine by me.

PLEASE DON'T BE LEWD, WEIRD OR BULLY AND MOCK  IN THIS THREAD. JUST DON'T.

Are there shows, films, fiction, activities, hobbies etc you like or love and are happy to talk about with friends and family but just don't online or keep to a minimum?

Whether because of bad experiences, toxic fandoms, getting no joy from discussing online etc etc.

I rarely talk about anime anymore due to a mixture of bad experiences (both from fanboys, the mysogist parts of the shonen fandom and the snobbish "anime isn't REAL art like western animation/is all bad (because I think it's all shonen and ignore all the Media made by women and LGBTQ+ writers and artists)" crowd. Yuri/wlw discussion is the exception because I find it to be a safe haven, especially in places that are lesbian and wlw dominated.

I don't talk about Smash much because I find, especially roster discussion brings out the most toxic people who are ready to attack, be hypocritical (Oh I hate "anime" swordsman but want Dante in who totally isn't very obvious heavily anime inspired!!! /S) and just nasty to each other or demand x character being cut because they hate Y fandom, to hell with others joy.

I think I'm going to stop bothering talking about invertebrates online. I love all animals (marine invertebrates especially), but unless their mammals or "cute", it just doesn't feel worth it because either don't care, make it clear they don't care about animal rights or the environment or just mock and shame me for it (or talk about how much they want to kill them).

What are some of yours?

Doops this morning -

It really is the least that we as the gaming public could do honestly. Of course it's not that cut and dry if your job revolves around the Xbox brand, but still just do what you can, as always.

Doops this afternoon -

Genuine question, asking for second opinions - would buying existing Xbox Game Studios games (previous Bethesda, id, Obsidian, Double Fine games, etc) from key sites (CDKeys, Instant Gaming) count as directly supporting them, or is that the equivalent of buying a used physical copy, for instance?

Morning - We MUST stop supporting Microsoft. Not buying their games is the least we can do.

Afternoon - Uh guys, have any of you created a moral loophole I can use to justify buying Oblivion?



Absolute worm.

Someone should ask her how much she paid for Lucio skins. What the fuck does she get off on claiming it's other people's fault?

According to her, zero. She has said that she grind the shit out to get those skins.

Skins maybe, but not emotes:

It's not supply and demand that determines wages. Besides, that's not what the person you quoted is discussing. They're talking about the valorization of medical professionals as if they are the only ones upon whom society's mere existence hinges upon.

Again, it's class division. Stop engaging in it. And maybe reflect upon and thank some other workers in your community for the services they provide us all.

If our goal is to stop engaging in class division, shouldn't we be thanking the capitalists for providing the capital so those workers can provide the services that they only do to receive compensation for?

Oh, wait, you meant not engaging in "class division" as in not dividing our "class" so it can do violence against others easier rather than not dividing our community by imaginary classes.

[Garfield]

so doctors are paid more to keep up some charade of pretending they're important?

[benji]

so doctors are paid more to keep up some charade of pretending they're important?

It's true she believes this but you aren't being ignorant and stupid enough. She thinks doctors are rich, a higher class, therefore they can force everyone to pay them higher wages. Which even if true, would still be supply and demand. She likely does not understand what the concept even is.

HaughtyFrank bringing up the athletes and singers being millionaires and billionaires and her defending it is incredibly relevant because the classic irrefutable argument against redistribution is Nozick's Wilt Chamberlain argument which employs a simplistic supply-and-demand as its premise. I won't just name drop, I'll supply it, just replace Wilt Chamberlain with somebody new like LeBron or Mr. Beast or whatever.

1. Redistribution occurs, so everyone has equal wealth of $1.
2. Wilt Chamberlain is the best at basketball, so 100 people pay $1 to see him play. (To make things easy it's assumed he just gets this money rather than owners and stadium owners and etc.)
3. Wilt now has $100 as his wealth, income and wealth inequality has instantly returned and skyrocketed.

The conclusion is that to redistribute you must constantly and endlessly do it and control literally everything, which is why traditionally socialists just wanted to do away with trade completely and have the state give you only what it decides you need. The entire goal is to prevent supply-and-demand and replace it with collective planning because the offense is that some people get what others do not want them to have.

[benji]

I think she's also probably heard people talking about how medicine or doctors are a cartel. And it's true. You first have to go to medical school. Then you cannot practice if you don't have a medical license.

I imagine once we transition to cup of sugar politics you'll just be able to rent the surgical tools you need from the library of things and perform surgery on whoever needs it and then they in return will be mandated to provide one (1) surgery to someone else and can get the tools because you'll have returned them to the library.

I have BPD and a ton of trauma and do exactly this. There's no amount of rationalizing in the world that can stop it or calm it down. When a situation feels out of my control, the only thing left to do is spiral until it sorts itself out in some way. Have so little trust in the world or the way events play out that even the slightest inconvenience feels like my world is ending. I'm sorry that it's frustrating to you and many others, I truly am, but believe me, it sucks to be on this end of things as well. Life feels miserable like this.

I would find it hard to be friends or even friendly with people who don't believe I should exist, hate poor people, believe in nationalism/patriotism and think capitalism is the best way of possibly doing things. I'm further left than even the most liberal of parties in my country and it's hard to be friends with people who think the current system works best.

Living in Canada as a disabled transgender woman, I am terrified that the already on track to win extreme right wing movement will be emboldened and strengthened. The cost of living for people living on benefits as I am is already way too high, and a conservative victory in the upcoming election will possibly take those away from me, as well as my health care and hrt. I cannot work, and people like me in both a trans sense and a disabled person sense will be demonized by the government and the general public far far more than we already are, as Canadian culture always mirrors the USA. Trumpism is already running wild here. Look at Alberta. Not to mention how terrified I am for my transgender friends in the states. I feel utterly sick and hopeless.

As a disabled transgender woman living in rural Newfoundland who depends on the government for a pittance of an income, this truly is the fucking scariest timeline. PP terrifies me. Everything about the global rise of fascism and conservatism terrifies me. There's nothing I can do. There's nothing any of us can do to stop us from going back 50+ years socially, and people are frothing at the mouth.

My gf plays just as many games as I do. Sometimes we play together, sometimes one of us watches the other, and sometimes we play alone. We are in a long distance relationship so I've only ever felt like the shared hobby has brought us closer. The one time I've been able to make the trip across the ocean to see her, we played through all of Sackboy together and it was a magical experience.

Yeah, there are certain kinds of threads I have to avoid here for my own mental health. I am a disabled trans woman living with her parents in her mid thirties who will never be able to work for an income ever again. I rely on a pittance, and a large chunk of that money goes toward gaming because I have the privilege of being fed and housed by my parents. Some of the things I see here wouldn't be attainable in my wildest dreams.

I've suffered with borderline my whole life. That emptiness still eats me alive every day. I fight so hard. I'm so self aware. And yet, every relationship and friendship I've ever had have fallen apart in front of my eyes and I can't understand why. I don't have the type of BPD that makes me lash out, or get angry. I have massive mood swings but they go from euphoria to soul crushing sadness. I feel like I have a void in me that cannot be fixed or filled, no matter what I do. Life just feels pointless. So I live for my partner. Which I know to most people would be "unhealthy" and that I'm doing it wrong. But it's the only thing I've found in this world that helps numb that pain.

Edit: Seeing a lot of people come in here talking about exes with borderline. Please don't turn this thread into a reddit "BPD loved ones" space. I know it's a difficult mental illness to understand but I'm begging people to be patient with people like me. It's so common to see us stigmatized and turned into monsters. It hurts.

I disagree, but only because I know that doesn't work for me on a personal level. I can go from 0-10 in an instant. I spiral out of control whenever something is off or wrong in the relationship. I'm the kind of person who absolutely needs to talk things out *as* they come up, otherwise the trauma of my past and the experiences I've had will all compound on top of the current problem and I fall apart. Going to bed "angry" means I get no sleep, I just cry and toss and turn and wonder why my partner won't talk to me about it.

My heart continues to break for my partner who has to deal with this every single day. That the island I will someday call home with her is so openly hostile to the both of us, just because of who we are, along with so many of our friends and family, and the trans community as a whole. They are on the wrong side of history, but this onslaught is just so overwhelming.
