is the LANCER artwork done by the same person who does Kill Six Billion Demons?

he’s stipulating that they have to work 6 days a week, but he’s leaving overtime out of the calculation. Is it because he doesn’t think there should be overtime? Or is it so he can get to the number

$74,880

for some reason?

isn’t the Philippines government closely modeled off the US constitution?

It is kinda making me wonder, maybe the natzis were also incredibly lame, but in public memory that just took backseat (very reasonably) to all the crimes against humanity

being insulated from real consequences has such weird effects on the psyche

What the fuck

• is this formatting. This is barely readable

• who organizes thoughts like this?

False flags are a resource sink (money, time, organization) with very uncertain end results. Will the public buy it? And for how long? If you get found out, how bad is the blowback gonna be? It’s far easier to wait for a genuine attack to come to you and surprise shock oh no, you’ve just so happened to be caught unawares!

That’s as conspiracy brained as I let myself get about . One of those, Never Let a Tragedy Go to Waste moments. Maaaaaaybe some agents or agencies or elected officials heard rumblings about what was gonna happen and just looked the other way, but either way it was a genuine terrorist operation.

if I wanted to do that, I’d just go into advertising

I like the comparison, but yeah I agree with you. If there is any value made by attention it is vastly lower than the value made by labor – and only really there in aggregate. Unlike having the output of someone’s labor, having one person’s attention is nothing. But having hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of people’s attention is powerful.

was originally waiting for a full release. Caved and played Ch1 & 2 back in January. Got to experience the anticipation of 3 & 4 without any of the waiting

Before Deltarune, I had never played an episodic game where subsequent chapters ever did better than the first one. Wait for the complete release if you must, but I have to say now is a really exciting time to get into it and I think it uses the episodic release well.

Kinda sounds like a murder cult. If only the press weren’t so constrained by libel laws, they could print up some eye-catching headlines and really put some people’s feet to the fire demanding to know more about the “Fort Brag / Fort Liberty Murder Cult”

…oh wait, that’s the Brits. So the Yanks have no goddamn excuse.

you joke, but I’m pretty sure there’s a general who’s gone on record saying this exact thing to try and excuse deaths at Bragg

Mr. Mamdani represents the left’s failure to learn the lessons of the Cold War.

The story of communism ended with the USSR. Please don’t ask us about our largest trading partner.

but it was the policies and conditions of the preceding years that gave Trump such futile ground! The continuing occupation in the middle east with clear goals or exit, bailing out the banks and not the people who lost their homes, almost all the economic recovery and growth after '08 being concentrated to the top 10% of owners!

What good is nostalgia for a past, when it is what evolved into the present we so bemoan?

Star Trek, also

The conditions of the past are the context from which the present evolved. Forgetting this is how reactionary movements begin!

Remember when things weren’t like they are now, wouldn’t it be better if we could wipe the slate clean and return to that?

Hell yeah, I remember. I remember yesterday becoming today!

lol, he still thinks the Turing test is somehow an indicator of something

a conversation is a collaborative art

although i’ve met people who seem to think its supposed to be a monologue with occasional and appropriate asides from the audince
