I think his analysis of election numbers is solid, maybe the best out there.

But goddamn is he a fucking dumbass. I love his post breaking down the 'democrat coalition' into liberals and progressives, and genuinely good (if very very basic) description about how different they are, only held together by the threat of the right wing. And then being like, 'yeah so I'm a liberal because progressives suck'.

bro really expects us to not recognize cheeseburger freedom man, smh

I don't say this to go to bat for Kamala, but like, I think she absolutely has better odds of winning the election than Biden.

Like, so much electoralism is 'vibes'. People have pointed to her polling worse than Biden as some 'gotcha' over her being a weaker candidate, but like, if she's only polling a point or two worse that Biden, despite not campaigning or doing anything at all, that says a lot about how weak of a candidate Biden is/was.

Not saying I expect Kamala to like, 'slay queen' or whatever the fuck, but like, if she can not be a zombie corpse on stage, she can earn some 'points' back.

I guess we'll see; she is a weird alien in some ways, and maybe that will kill her vibes or w/e. (which, mocking her weird laugh is dumb, as dumb as mocking trump for 'lol he orange' instead of y'know, the fascism, but 'politicians not be weird' is definitely a bar the average voter cares about.)

I think it is a great idea, if the bones of the house are solid (and, from what you said it sounds like they are), and if you are serious about putting in those hours and labor.

A lot of people think they are, but it can be hard to translate 'off hours at home' into 'additional unpaid labor hours' mentally sometimes. I work construction (electrical), and I've seen very skilled and active workers leave their homes full of half finished projects like the house you're looking at is, just because of the mental and physical toll it takes go from work, back home to do more work.

But it can and will save you a lot of money to do it yourself, or even mostly yourself, with the added upside of being able to sculpt you home to your preferences, and to be familiar with what is where in case of doing later repairs or renovations down the road.

If you need any electrical advice, feel free to shoot me a DM. Hopefully you won't need to do more than splice and pull romex or maybe cat5, which should be pretty simple.

No

Lol yeah... I'm allergic to grapes, so I can't eat at like any french restaurant

though frankly, I have enough allergies I generally don't feel safe eating at any restaurant

I do like the bastardized french cooking I make for myself at home though, using rice wine, coconut cream, and vegan butter

Are... dating sims, widely played? I know they're 'popular', but I assumed popular among fair minority of the populace.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor was the first band I really liked when I was a young teen decades ago. And they're still based as hell. I love, for their recent tour, this being their amp:

I generally agree. I'm condensing a lot of policy into a sentence. Its also complicated, due to the interplay of capital in the mix; all of us are generally selling our bodies for money one way or the other. Not that all work is equally harmful obviously, or equally 'work'. There's a lot of 'job' that are 95%+ bullshit, and sexwork is one of those; it doesn't need to be done, its only because of demand in the form of $ that it 'needs' to exist.

So there's the question of, 'what should be done right now, and what should be done in an ideal scenario. Because ideally, demand for a thing shouldn't make that thing exist. Powerful men A) shouldn't exist, and B) shouldn't be able to just 'demand' sex via throwing dollars at the problem.

But also, until this system is dismantled, there will be powerful men throwing money around to get sex, and there will be women who want that money badly enough to accept it. I don't think there's any policy that can make that not happen, so decriminalizing it to make it safe, to help the women, is the obvious short term play.

You right, 'mock' is much more what I meant.

But regardless, I think the vast majority of games with sexy horny are doing it just for sales. I feel like there's only rarely merit to it beyond titillation, and it just feels like empty glitter. Does that mean these games have nothing besides sex to offer? No, there's games I've liked where I've had to roll my eyes at much of the visuals. But that's not going to stop me from dunking on the visuals. Because Yoko Taro is unabashedly horny on main, and while I don't think the design of 2b is good, I think his design work on Kainé is far worse. From what I've heard, her story is 'good', but the outfit, Yoko's comments about her penis, and the 'achievement' you get for trying to look up her skirt are all deeply disgusting to me.

I mean, I'm more or less like that.

In short, I think both should be legal. In regards to sexwork and porn, its mostly because it will happen regardless, might as well make it as safe as possible for the people at risk.

But like, I'd still generally condemn someone for regularly purchasing sex, just as I would to someone who only plays coombrained games (not that those two things are 'equivalently bad' mind).

People should be allowed to make, and consume, bad media, and also people should be allowed to dunk on them for liking bad media.

Yeah, I don't get how Yoko's coombrained games get such praise from leftist. They're held up as some amazing experience, but imo everything about them (maybe aside from the music) was pretty mid.

Yes, but its beside the point. With Jesus being jewish, its jews who 'tricked' people into worshipping the demiurge. Its that classic "jews are tricksters, christains are just people who got tricked" bullshit. And, just overall, a lot of their teachings are just, inherently 'twisting' a lot of jewish era mysticism around, which is of course funny in a way, considering how much they also steal from jewish mysticism.

Regardless, all of that is more or less history; I don't think people calling themselves gnostic today are generally specifically anti-semetic. And its not like Christianity of the era was particularly accepting of jews.

He's mean and orange and says cringe things on twitter

Realistically, being healthier and more competent would have made Hitler worse I guess

The 'worldbuilding' of it is quite cool. Funny worm god (yaldabaoth), interesting 'secret twist'. Ties to more ancient religions (manichaeism).

Shame that one of the primary historical 'reasons' it exists is antisemitism. TLDR, is it was made as kinda of a way to say 'the old testament (jewish) god was a fake evil demiurge, and to worship him is to worship evil'. So, just a different way of wording 'jews actually worship satan'.

Yup, good ol' vulture capitalism.

Make a corpse, pick its bones, and fly away to the next meal.

Shareholders 'in on it' can make a tidy profit too, so they don't care that their new CEO or owner or w/e has track records likes these. 'What's that? You killed the last five companies you bought?' Eyes bulge with looney toons dollar signs.

What more amazing is that people can look at this system and say "look buddy, you don't have to like it, but capitalism just works, unlike your gommunism bullshit."

A: 5 (in house) or 4 (out).

B: Room temp (ideally, cool, but I'd take room temp over ice cold)

Can we please not use 'schizo' like that?

Its an offshoot of the subreddit 'credible defense' for ghouls to talk seriously about military stuff. So the 'non-credible defense' is just because they wanted a 'shitpost' sub to shitpost while being neoliberal ghouls.

Pretty sure Putin doesn't care who wins, both are terrible for the US. But you're right that this is absolutely the right thing for him to say to do some pot stirring
