Literally what I was about to say. I actually think the original tweet isn't actually that far off and this is sort of in the vein of the criticism that Star Wars kinda invariably winds up making the empire, and be extension fascism, look really cool.

Cause like here's a hot take....giant 20 story tall death robots are fucking cool and metal as shit when they actually work.

I might buy the metal gear collection and some indie titles. Kinda want to buy more but I've already got such an insane backlog.

Difference is I'm asking WTF is up with that right now.

He's not even fit for office right now let alone holding office for another 4 years starting 6 months from now.

I think people seriously understate this part of the current political calculus going on.

I put it as a coin flip right now whether or not Biden gets swapped out but if the party leaders and the media adopt the position that he is unfit to serve another term due to cognitive decline....isn't that an implicit acknowledgement that he is unfit to serve and should step down right now?

I just read that and saw the date stamp! WHY DID WE TALK LIKE THIS!!?!?!?!?

Am not vegan. Reason: I like eating meat, eggs, and cheese.

Probably my least leftwing beliefs concern animal rights, although I do think the environmental concerns due to farming make a compelling case for the switch.

Supreme court Justices also....just sayin.

Geralt is the reason I have never been able to get into the Witcher series. By all accounts the Witcher 3 is one of the greatest RPGs of all time with an insane amount of depth but I just can't get over the fact that I have no choice to play a character that reads like a 15 year olds checklist of hyper cool masculinity. I get that the character has been around for a while and it wasn't so much a cliche when he was first written but sheesh....I just have a hard time taking him seriously.

Second funniest. Funniest outcome to me is still Biden dying mid campaign leading to Trumps reelection and Kamala being a lame duck for like a month.

....Then Trump dies 2 weeks before taking office and whoever his running mate is becomes president.

Also there was apparently a massive antivax campaign being done by the pentagon that continued for like almost a year under his administration. I know it started under Trump but still....drug his feet stopping it.

Trump wants to stop the funding to Ukraine and there is no way the bourgeosie is going to let him win because of that.

Meh. They've run this playbook before. They'll just override him. If they don't do it legitimately through congress they'll go through backdoors.

....you know maybe its misguided, especially as someone who practices it, but suddenly i can't help but connect this with how intermittent fasting became super trendy more recently.

New season new meta comrade!

I'm hype as hell for Jamie buffs. I didn't like hearing the news about them seemingly embracing "fuck it we palm" and making it safe but a lot of his updates look great. I'm super excited to test out Bakkais new i frames.

Valve index. Got a lightly used one for a great price.

TBH I mainly bought this thing cause I want to play the Myst remaster in VR but I better get some use outa this. So what else is worth playing aside from Beat Saber? Any good VR mods?

I'm not sure if citations needed has ever done an episode on articles like this, but as a parent and a leftist it's hard to not start noticing that nearly all parenting "experts" or "success" stories seem to basically boil down to people 'richsplaining' how to raise your kids into successful CEOs and career paths.

I find this incredibly frustrating because this bassically accepts as a framework that your kid becoming a CEO is an inarguably laudable goal, rarely if ever asks questions about how psychologically well adjusted they are as people, and perhaps most importantly never addresses the elephant in the room of the role class plays.

I feel like my entire life, in basically every form of media I've ever seen: helicopter parenting has been assumed as being wrong and harmful. These days it's hard for me not to ask if this isn't just an extension of the culture of "personal responsibility" and "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps."
