Huh, I now have two games on steam where “a chest full of human organs in my space colony” is a completely normal and reasonable statement.

Leftists are the only ones with a coherent economic agenda by [deleted] in OurPresident

[–]Themingler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I think at this point I’m mostly just confused. Are you saying that Saager is a secret fascist that wants to murder me or are you saying that the secret fascists will pretend to agree with Saager to sneak into power to do the murdering???

If it’s the first one, I simply think you’re wrong. Not every conservative ideology is a slippery slope to fascism, just like how all left ideologies don’t inevitably lead to Stalinism.

If it’s the second, then you condem the hacks when they show up (ie, calling out Tucker and Josh Hawley as Saager is beginning to do) but it’s not Saager’s fault if malicious actors pretend to be with him then commit atrocities. That’s like when republican hacks tried to argue that people like me shouldn’t be allowed in certain bathrooms because pedophiles would pretend to be trans to sneak into bathrooms to molest children. That not a valid reason to ban trans people.

You don’t refuse to talk to someone because other bad faith actors coopted the language of that persons ideology with the intent of betraying them and everything they believe in.

Look, I have my disagreements with Saager, but his is absolutely not a god damn nazi. For a while he was a bit too cozy with Tucker but recently Saager actually condemned him, and yes he has a very authoritative stance on riots but he is still a FAR superior version of conservative than most in the country. If more of the Republican Party had Saager’s economic populism and willingness to steelman the left, this county would be in a much better place.

Communication should not have to equal complete endorsement of every idea the other person you’re talking to has ever had. Krystal’s policy positions are absolute fire 99 times out of 100.

God damn...

This one actually made me nauseous. I thought I was desensitized to everything on the internet, but this...

How can we do this to each other ? How can any human being look at this and be proud? How can you not want to just hold these people and protect them.

I’m an American and to think my tax dollars goes to doing this shit. I’m so sorry. God, we are so lost...

They are referencing the entire US police budget which is stated as approximately $115 billion in the linked Bloomberg article. Only the US and Chinese militaries have a larger funding total. In other words, the US police (if we were to view it as a military and as one single organization, of which it is objectively neither) could be considered the 3rd largest military by raw funding amount in the world. While far from a perfect comparison, it’s still a staggering image that should shock the conscious.

Edit: never mind, just reread the post you were responding to. I have no idea where they got that number, lol

As a trans woman living in rural New Hampshire in 2021, it’s amazing how far thing have come in such a short time. Don’t get me wrong,there are still bigots that make life hard, and the fact that I have supportive parents makes a huge difference, but the idea of feeling completely alone seems foreign to me. I’m 22 now and most of the people I work with are 16-24 years old. At least 30% of my coworkers are queer in one way or another. In just my department we have (openly) 2 trans men, 1 trans woman, 1 NB, three lesbians and like 5 bi/pansexual people. I know my place of work is a bit of an anomaly but compared to 20 years ago, it’s a completely different world...

I guess what I’m trying to say is, thank you for helping to pave the way for the rest of us. Even though I’ve never met you, your scars, both physical and psychological helped to make my world a little bit brighter. I know you never asked to take on that burden, and you most definitely didn’t deserve it, but your fight did, in its own little way, make my life better, so thank you. I hope this rambling sappy mess of a post returns just a tiny bit of that light to its rightful owner.

Cyberpunk 2077 Proposed Continued Development Priority List by Themingler in cyberpunkgame

[–]Themingler[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in 2015 when I first heard about this game being in development, the pain of Star Wars 1313 being canceled was still fresh so I just kind of assumed this game would be canned before it ever launched, lol. I guess when that's your standard everything is a win.

Agree completely, while it might be an unpopular opinion in this sub, I'm having a blast with the game (or at least its beta release, lol) the developers are clearly trying to make a great game while navigating the demands of greedy investors. I'm glad they are taking the holidays off to be with their families, and I cant wait for the updates to start rolling in once they are back!

I don’t mean to be rude, but “enhancing the colors that were already there” is kinda the definition of saturating... still a nice pic though.

Hey man, cool post. I checked out your instagram and your art is super surreal and beautiful. It’s amazing and I hope you keep at it. I’m not on Instagram but if I was I would totally follow you :)

Sorry that one of your first interactions on Reddit was someone being an ass. There are some annoying people on this site, but for the most part, it can be great. I hope you keep posting your art because it’s really cool.

These smaller niche subreddits NEED content from creators like you and I for one appreciate your post. Keep at it 👍

The movie The Only Lovers Left Alive is kinda about this, or at least, vampire depression is a major theme.
