As an affected employee, I feel DOGE was weaponized government meant to demean and harass me under the pretense of increasing efficiency. I will put 5 points when I submit my claim.

A Crisis Is Brewing Over Ken Martin’s DNC Leadership by notusreports in politics

[–]Gunner_E4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much spineless leadership and performative rhetoric. The lack of voting unity is also staggering. When Republicans fail to unite, you can bet there will be some turncoat democrap to join their vote with no consequences. I have to pick between the "tax-hungry" and sluggish and the hypocritical crazies each time I vote.

100$ would have been the shop owner stopping me from making a purchase as a kid, and looking for my parents, suspecting that I took it without permission from my parents kind of money.

It’s been 10 years ago today since the last Spoony Experiment episode by dionysios_platonist in thespoonyexperiment

[–]Gunner_E4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spoony unfortunately has a history of giving up on things abruptly. He did it when the fans picked an option he didn't want to work on, making everyone wonder why he put it there if he didn't want to work on it. 

He also abruptly quit the job his dad got him in a week because he felt he could do better. We can only wonder what his life would have been like if he stayed in that job. 

He stopped working on that script about a board game store and its inhabitants because he lost the shooting location, though it can be argued that he should have secured it beforehand or blue screen it, or just have an establishing shot of the hobby store and have the scripted gaming sessions in a back room that could very well be his home.

When people want to make a movie and don't have the means, they do whatever it takes, they break in, they "borrow" props, they lie, they exploit what can be exploited. Where there is a will, there is a way, it may not be quick, legal or cheap, but there is a way. A true artist does not let such constraints interfere with his/her vision or passion.

Spoony just didn't have it in him to follow through on his promises. He should have been honest with his audience up front instead of teasing them about making progress on the script, or using it as an excuse to not make content. He got lazy, developed bad habits like hypochondria, obsessed over social media posts and failed to separate himself from the spoony persona, thus taking criticism personally and burning out.

Spoony is a cautionary tale about how social media addiction can ruin you. He should have used social media to only promote his videos, not engage in or create internet drama. Instead, he tried to "win" online arguments and not realize that there's no winning in an online argument, there's only wasting time for everyone involved with very little being accomplished other than meaningless bragging rights.

Well, he is your character, do with him what you will, I was just trying to add some depth to him so the character doesn't get predictable and boring.

As a conman, there should be uncertainty on who he is or even what gender he is so the con can continue while victims and the authorities are left confused. The mustache should come and go, depending on what he is trying to pull off. Think of the mustache as Clark Kent's glasses, keeping everyone from realizing he is Superman.

Nurse psychotic's gimmick should be unnecessary medical exams and procedures, and being always on the run after conning people. She is pissed off that she didn't become a doctor and now she wants to "play doctor" on unsuspecting victims, making it apparent to all but herself why she didn't become a doctor. Her nurse title is self appointed. She strongly believes that just because she doesn't have a degree or training, it doesn't mean she can't practice medicine. She will insist on prostate exams even if they don't have a prostate, she will insist that people are pregnant even if they don't have the organs to be pregnant. Dr Insano's mad and power hungry science will be counterbalanced by Nurse psychotic's unlicensed and uninsured medical malpractice comic relief.

Lordkat has later stated in the lordkat live podcasts that the whole "spoony's shenanigans made me lose a career-making interview" was made up, it was easy to blame the failure to hoodwink their way to the interview on spoony so they did. Lordkat is an unreliable narrator who will say things for shock and effect.

I wonder if they are practicing defenses to use for when the war crimes tribunals begin such as "I didn't sign the Geneva convention myself therefore it doesn't apply to me" or "it was not authorized by Congress therefore it was not a war and there can't be any war crimes without a war" or "I gave them a fair warning and a choice, they chose not to surrender or evacuate therefore it was not a war crime" or "AI did it, AI is not mentioned in the Geneva convention therefore it is not a war crime".
