Jerboa. I love it.

Thanks for sharing this, super interesting.

I’m comforted that cursing the name of that sneaky ea-nasir is still on the table.

Had the same response. The headline itself reeks of spin.

Interesting. My point still stands though. It’s crazy that a party would have a 22 year old on said list, and that anyone would support a party that has a list with 22 year olds on it.

I’m all for voting in younger representatives but I would never in a million years vote for a 22 year old. Or a racist for that matter. But the most shocking part to me is his age. Like, 22 year olds have not been alive long enough to develop any kind of meaningful wisdom. I’m only 36 so my wisdom is only just developing and I look back on all the 22 year olds I knew when I was 22 and holy shit do not put any of those people in charge of important decisions.

Nice work! Thanks for sharing!

Good points made for sure!

Completely agree. They demand more than most communities, while enjoying one of the few products that has dodged inflation in a huge way. I remember paying $60 for games in 2000. 20+ years later, and I’m supposed to be livid that most are still $60. The amount of whining is so crazy it’s embarrassing.

I pay $20 to watch a mediocre rehashed superhero movie for 2 hours. I can absolutely pay $60 or $70 for something that gives me 10 hours of entertainment. And most games I pickup give me way more than 10 hours. So I find gaming to be worth it pretty much all the time.

Read the article before posting please. This is a serious and complex issue.

I have struggled this time to engage with some of my friends. I have learned that many of them are not as supportive of oppressed people as they claimed to be. Tribalism is a deep current in the human psyche. I think the author does a good job of laying out some of my thoughts. Particularly, about the pressure that social media engaged people feel to declare things as if they were tiny heads of state.

I love my friends, but the fact is, they are incredibly underqualified and undereducated on these issues, as am I, and most people. This doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have opinions on these things, but making these opinions in such absolutist “I’m going to end this friendship if we don’t agree” way doesn’t help. I have never once heard them speak about Israel and Palestine, and all of the sudden they can’t stop pontificating. Social media makes some people so self obsessed they can’t help themselves from seeking the validation they get from seeing their words on a screen.

In more aggressive terms, I don’t need to know your opinions on geopolitics Becky. The last time I saw you, you were doing lines of what you hoped was coke that you got from a stranger dressed as a unicorn. I don’t trust you to watch my houseplants.

At any rate, saying Palestine should be free is not antisemitism. Free Palestine!

Picked up Warhammer Dark Tide since it’s on gamepass. I played 8 hours straight. This could be bad…lol

You could hear this family coming a mile away

So glad to see this sentiment supported on beehaw. It's a shame that people equate the two.

Some people truly have nothing going on in their lives. I’d feel bad for them if they weren’t destructive. Alanah is awesome. The line about them being jealous of her successes is accurate here.

Yay! We need so much more of this. Our local lesbian bar is one of the best places to be, period.

Such a nice read, thanks for sharing! I would love for these types of programs to become the norm as opposed to the outlier.

This is so true. I bought the anniversary collection years ago. When I went to play SF1 I was flabbergasted. It’s legitimately terrible. Even by standards back then. Though, as someone who is a bit obsessed currently, I am so glad they kept up with it.
