'Lesser evil' is unironically considered good in mainstream media, so I assume a lot of people are falling for this shit.

I was gonna say surprise Leliana. I thought we were talking about shoes and all of a sudden I have to break up with her after romancing somebody else.

That Orlesian intrigue shit is wild.

Siri, generate what a cishet person would design when forced to create an inclusive queer bar.

I catch myself doing that too. At least I look at it from a media criticism lens, but I don't want to ruin someone's time with Pokémon, the Princess Peach game, or the new Zelda because of conversations I want to have about feminism or turning media into slop.

But I do feel bad that younger generations are being fed slop.

Small rant on Pokémon:

I'm happy kids can enjoy what they can, and such conversations should be directed at adults and the companies themselves, but I definitely dislike this trend of taking joy from children to heal one's own childhood wounds.

It's really sad. It's like the material conditions making us unable to take care of children has alienated us from children in general.

Like the people who can care for children now either have them unplanned or are wealthy enough to do so and have some of the worst political views.

Then you throw in the way children are already treated like possessions and it gets that much harder to connect with younger generations.

It doesn't make it right, and I want to support the people around me regardless of age, but times are desperate right now and capitalism incentivizes short- sighted selfishness and self preservation.

It makes me really sad because I can see the material conditions for younger generations are so much worse than mine.

I didn't have mass shooter drills or a high school graduation on zoom. I had reliable resources I could access online without as much fear of predation. I didn't witness depressingly clear public executions and climate disasters on my phone and then get told I needed to study more for a job that won't be there.

They don't need the false hope peddled by liberal politicians. They need solidarity from those of us who were where they are right now. Like yeah, shit sucks, but I want them to get through this and hopefully continue to fight for the better world that we know is possible.

If you don't test, you won't get positive test results

Please be patient with me

Are there chuds who would buy that? Can art majors pay off their student debt in the funniest and most appropriate way possible?

Was there a Greek figure who was cursed with inaccurate prophecies everybody heeded like an inverted Cassandra?

What would you do if you owned Infowars?

He doesn't know anything, just stop!

Should I feel bad about not knowing who this is?

I think it's legit. The framing is still centered on her.

Don't just come in here with takes I'll be thinking about all day.

Great, now an AI can use social media to coerce me instead of just my peers from high school.

But hey, my federal agent could use a vacation.

If my mother had to apologize for me doing shit like this, to the point of describing me as a creep, I would be too ashamed to ever leave the house again.

They have millions and a loyal fanbase and it's still not enough for them. They have to poison them too. Imagine being that hollowed out.

Oh yeah, same. It's just magical thinking and offers of nostalgia.
