don't know if anyone else remembers, to my recollection that shower post actually floated around for weeks/months and people kept meekly trying to signal boost it on gaf and it would quickly disappear, until finally the mods decided to stop defending him and it gathered momentum

The statement that obama released after the shower incident will never not make me laugh. 

"Michelle and I have been disgusted by the recent reports about Tyler Malka," Mr. Obama said in the statement. "Any man who demeans and degrades women in such fashion needs to be condemned and held accountable, regardless of wealth or status. We should celebrate the courage of women who have come forward to tell these painful stories. And we all need to build a culture -- including by empowering our girls and teaching our boys decency and respect -- so we can make such behavior less prevalent in the future."

Is this real?

yes

I love that an obituary thread about a Harry Potter actor is the one where people are getting criticised for being disrespectful, and it’s not because they’re sperging out about genocide.

I haven't bothered to go into that thread just like I didn't for the Robbie Coltrain one. I'm guessing there are the usual assholes talking their usual hateful schtick?

deep rock galactic is partly a critique/commentary on late stage capitalism

all the dwarves work tirelessly as drones for The Company, indoctrinated to cheerlead it, are paid in company scrip they can only spend at the company store, and you're mercilessly killing the indigenous bug population that just want to be left in peace so you can mine

but most importantly, every dwarf is a clone of some central, perfect uber-dwarf, that's why they all have the same voice lines just pitch-shifted up or down, and why they all mostly look the same and are male

they have perfectly valid lore reasons to keep the game as it is

do we really want to indict women into this same bleak corporate machine? really?

I wonder how much crunch the developers had to endure to make that game?

[kaleidoscopium]

No people, right now is EXACTLY the time to want ideological purity. After the primaries we vote for who wins but until then we have every right to demand the best we can out of candidates.

Also stop telling marginalized people to sit down and shut up when they have concerns about a candidate.

Not when I looked, but they were telling off a guy for bringing up that thing about Dumbledore “calmly” asking Harry about the Goblet of Fire.

He understands that not every single store looting is because rioting against racial injustice?

Corporations fell millions of trees to grow meat for american giant burgers.

This kid is a clown if he did it though, I hope they make him plant a thousand as a lesson.

Discipline the little prick.

I love how he lost the point he wanted to make half way point. Like he just remembered that the tree was culturally important for the region and corporations contributing with deforestation has almost nothing to do with this.

[Anti-Monitor]

That's something that will never fail to get me. Despite all their talk about wanting to be welcoming to women it's very clear that they just mean a very specific kind of woman. The very same people will happily report any women who, god forbid, doesn't mind sexy videogame characters or *gasp* talks about porn

A man?

Always find this forum is so eager to see people put in prison.

You need to stop throwing people in prison!!!

Yes, instead we should give them a simple temp ban, maybe 1 month, then they will learn a lesson.

New Mod rule: You can only say Democrats suck if you qualify that you mean only the White Cis Democrats suck

And this is a point I've raised before. It tends to be the case, when we see cis white male Democrats display even a pinch of heat, a tiny bit of paprika, it's usually followed up not just with praise (and honestly, good for them) but exasperated proclamations of "why can't Democrats have THIS energy!?" Which just has me shaking my head and thinking...which Democrats?

Because as masterful a take down, as thorough a cooking, that Rep Crockett delivered above was, that is simply the standard when it comes to the ass whooping the CBC and Black Democrats at the local level deliver on the stump REGULARLY. Routinely Black and Brown Dems lead the charge with this energy.

We should pay more attention to them.

Also find it funny that she keeps trying to make Threads a thing, a site that is actually illegal in the EU because of their data collection policies lol

Queue “meddling M$” stories and narratives

Damned if you do and damned if you don’t

Edit: also depending on how the game was built also dictates how these features are implemented. If these features weren’t planned at the start of dev then implementing them halfway through is difficult

One game from MS recently gets released that is lacking accessibility options yet overall most of their games are praised for having them. Furthermore were they not the first of the big three to make a special controller for accessibility?

Yet here we are and people are dunking on them like they do nothing ever…

In a truly inspiring journey of determination and perseverance, my late nephew demonstrated incredible strength and resilience as he triumphed over the challenges presented by Asperger's syndrome to become a Mortal Kombat champion. Despite the obstacles that Asperger's posed, he showcased unwavering dedication to his passion for gaming and a fervent desire to excel.

From a young age, it was evident that my nephew possessed an extraordinary affinity for video games. However, his Asperger's presented unique difficulties, affecting his social interactions and creating obstacles in communication. Despite these challenges, gaming became a sanctuary where he found solace and joy.

Mortal Kombat, with its competitive gameplay and intricate mechanics, particularly captured his interest. It was through this game that he found a platform to channel his intense focus and determination. Every move, combo, and strategy became a way for him to express himself and demonstrate his unparalleled dedication.

His journey was not easy. Asperger's often made it difficult for him to cope with changes and adapt to new environments. Tournaments, with their bustling crowds and high-stress settings, initially seemed insurmountable. Yet, his love for the game drove him to face these fears head-on.

With the unwavering support of his family and a network of understanding friends, he gradually conquered his social anxieties. He attended local tournaments, facing competitors from all walks of life, and gradually honed his skills. The sense of community and camaraderie within the gaming community played a pivotal role in building his confidence and self-esteem.

Through countless hours of practice, analyzing gameplays, and seeking advice from fellow gamers, he improved exponentially. His dedication and resilience turned challenges into stepping stones. As he navigated the intricate combos and fatalities in Mortal Kombat, he also learned to navigate the intricacies of his own mind and emotions.

The pinnacle of his journey came when he emerged victorious in a major Mortal Kombat championship. It was a testament to his strength, both as a player and as an individual. He had conquered not only the virtual realms of the game but also the barriers that Asperger's had placed in his path.

My late nephew's story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone facing challenges. It illustrates that with passion, dedication, and a strong support system, one can overcome even the most formidable obstacles. He will forever be remembered as a Mortal Kombat champion, an emblem of triumph, and a source of inspiration for all.
