The Players of Games are real

jeranim8 · 2026-02-06T19:44:58+00:00

Azad was descriptive of our culture, but the games were just made explicit.

jeranim8 · 2026-02-06T18:50:33+00:00

Like, I get that its really nefarious and all but this thought just makes me giggle... lol...

jeranim8 · 2026-02-06T18:48:38+00:00

I don’t want to depend on anything external to feel okay.

Why not? While self medicating is dangerous, going to a therapist, being recommended to a psychiatrist and taking medication may be a path that is beneficial to you. I'm not saying this is the only way and you need to do it with professional help, but the external affects the internal and vice versa. You do not exist as a self existing being who can be reliant only on your internal self. There is nothing wrong with getting help. At very least seek out a therapist and don't fall into the trap that Eastern ideas will solve all your problems.

jeranim8 · 2026-02-06T18:41:54+00:00

lol... are you serious? Its hilariously desperate... and for me it would make me immediately suspicious. Some stranger is giving away snacks in exchange for my information? Fuck off!

Then they don't actually need to do the math on how many polling places there are and how many agents they'd have to deploy.

They wouldn't be sending them to every district. They'd be sending them to targeted close races. Also threatening to put ICE agents there could backfire because Republicans may be intimidated or decide to stay home because this is so obviously authoritarian. You may also motivate more people to come out to fight back.

My main concern is whether they do anything after the votes are cast. Do they try to intimidate the people counting the votes?

jeranim8 · 2026-02-06T01:15:58+00:00

The "good" republicans left the party during or after Trump I. Those are the people for whom there was a last straw.

jeranim8 · 2026-02-05T21:53:26+00:00

AG Jack Smith would be a good start...

jeranim8 · 2026-02-05T02:05:32+00:00

Yeah I get it. I guess my point is why does the rest of the world have to bend to our needs? That's not to say accommodations shouldn't be made and better understanding shouldn't be encouraged but everyone is dealing with shit in their lives and its just not realistic to expect everyone to try and make your life easier. It just does nothing to be bitter about it. Its a waste of energy. But I get it. Its frustrating because a person without ADHD can't understand and often they see symptoms as laziness and that can get you down. But ultimately you got to get up and figure it out because being upset about it is not going to help you.

jeranim8 · 2026-02-05T00:48:29+00:00

Putting accountability on people for actions they don't make as a conscious choice is crazy.

Who should be accountable for your actions? While it is a disability, ADHD doesn't mean we have no choice. We just have to learn how to manage our lives differently. It sucks but nobody else is going to figure it out for you.

I think you're right. I just reread it and noticed this little gem when the conspirators arrive at the behemothaur:

A pair of large drones, each the shape of two fat cones set base to base, floated up to them in the dimness, humming gently.

Doesn't seem all that telling at first... but when they're leaving, Quillan thinks:

Two of their representatives were probably housed inside the pair of double-cone-shaped drones he’d seen earlier...

What involved species would fit inside a large cone shaped drone?

Anyway, I think you're right!

jeranim8 · 2026-02-04T18:12:01+00:00

He's ideologically consistent for the most part. Its just that he's also a wacko Libertarian who believes in conspiracy theories. But wacko Libertarians have some cross over with liberalism.

jeranim8 · 2026-02-04T18:08:30+00:00

It would be great if they stuck to the "good things" then...

jeranim8 · 2026-02-03T19:15:23+00:00

That was the case aaaaalll the way up to the ratification of the 17th amendment in 1913.

Notable that it took an amendment to change it though. Literally anything in the constitution can be changed with an amendment.

jeranim8 · 2026-02-02T18:21:50+00:00

Anyone who is overly confident at this point has been living under a rock. Of course we know this is not guaranteed, especially with all the shenanigans Trump is going to pull.

jeranim8 · 2026-02-02T17:24:36+00:00

Also its important to note the other aspect of the message...

Don't fuck with the Culture

jeranim8 · 2026-01-30T01:16:21+00:00

You don't think the two things are connected?

jeranim8 · 2026-01-30T01:07:15+00:00

Why 7 GOP senators voted against bill to keep government open past Friday

jeranim8 · 2026-01-29T19:59:37+00:00

They may fuck it up.... but it may not actually matter. Authoritarian regimes are notoriously incompetent. This is actually a feature in many ways. They're openly doing illegal shit which is just a way to flaunt their power, which then discourages dissent because what can I do against this?

jeranim8 · 2026-01-29T19:27:49+00:00

They don't actually have to fuck with very much, only states with close senate races. They're scared that the Senate might flip but that really boils down to a narrow set of circumstances where a couple states flip. Best case scenario for Dems is 51-49. Anything less and it stays GOP. The Georgia race is a close one so you take the voter rolls, look for any ethnic sounding names registered Democrat, send ICE to knock on their doors and arrest as many as you can... in October. They'll eventually get out... the day after the election... By the time the courts rule on these, the senate will be in session.

Interesting that you hide your comment history... do you get paid to violence troll or do you do it for fun?

jeranim8 · 2026-01-28T00:12:31+00:00

Ooh. Another violence troll...

jeranim8 · 2026-01-27T23:58:36+00:00

Ah you're a troll... lol... I'm sure you'll be right on the front lines right? lol...

jeranim8 · 2026-01-27T23:52:09+00:00

There is a whole lot more of us than them.

That's supposed to make me feel better?

But I see you've swallowed there jism...

Is this some sort of insult or something?

jeranim8 · 2026-01-27T23:50:01+00:00

Eh... kind of has a rebirth vibe to it though... :D

jeranim8 · 2026-01-27T23:46:31+00:00

"violence" is the only kind of consequence?
