I'm proud of myself for not spending the next two hours listening to companion banter
Oh shit. I was gonna say Fenris...
unrelated rant
I couldn't get into Elden ring and it kinda makes me sad. Like the open world feels so empty in most places and the enemies are copy paste. And I kept a journal to remember quests/characters, but I'm still missing stuff. How isn't there a in-game journal?? Why am I limited in map markers. I had this huge list of removed and gripes before I quit and just googled all the lore questions I had.
reject modernity, return to DS1 tail cuts
And where you're not easy prey for cisthumbs. I like exercise and trucks will just stop illegally in the middle of the street... with their driver's dead eyeing you. Once a truck just followed me and my gf, like driving right behind us for blocks until we lost him. And I've been attacked enough to know where that goes, so we bought treadmills. Yay
E: and we're both immunocompromised so gyms were out the second covid hit
And speaking of Jiang, it’s a bit sad that out of all of China’s recent leaders he was the most heavily right-deviationist, because as a person he was certainly quite charismatic and at times even funny.
Love his famous interview, where he just goes off on the liberal journalist
Yes? Life is joyous enough that even the most imperiled, enslaved people have found happiness and love in their fleeting moments of peace and freedom. I mean, have you seen a rainbow? Shit's pretty
Sidebar, should I watch She-Ra? How's the politics?
Because they'll still largely be liberals that think the system can be reformed, material conditions haven't deteriorated enough for anything else. They're also far less white and way more LGBT, so they won't be Republicans unless a sea change happens in that party. If you're not a Republican in the US, you're a Democrat, at least socially.
Joe biden is millennial and gen x nostalgia, they just need their own Obama and they'll go back to brunch, just like the millenials and gen xers that stood against Bush went back to brunch while Obama continued the wars and drone struck US citizens.
E: also the American firewall and tik tok ban will prevent the narrative from spinning out of control again as it did with Palestine
Nah. Who would fight it? Aging white Republicans vs. multiethnic pacifist zoomer and gen alpha Democrats? The Dems are more than happy to roll over for whatever the Republicans want and their base will only hold signs and engage in disorganized civil disobedience. I can see full-on transgender genocide, as our existence can be legislated away with relative ease, but Democrats won't care any more than they cared about the gay genocide in the 80s, and the incarceration of those that illegally seek meds will be bipartisan
I am too mature and principled to be fooled by bread and circuses
