Released on Wednesday, and based on the existing open-source Linux operating system, China’s version was built by a community of about 4,000 developers
“A bunch of Chinese people made a Linux distro”
“CHINA MADE A LINUX DISTRO!”
big difference
I liked this video. I’ve never heard the term “metamodernism” until now but the way he explained it makes sense. It’s like people want to return to the escapism of older films but they can’t quite let go and be totally sincere about it, which is why you get soy banter and shit. I’ve always preferred what this essay terms “modernist” films and I suspect a lot of other Marxists do too, as Marxism itself is a very modernist philosophy, even if we are also aware of the terrible lessons taught by many films of that type.
:jesse-wtf:
I watched some gameplay. I know the mechanics are designed to make the players take risks and have fun, but the way “command” just gives you seemingly random and dangerous tasks of securing plots of land instead of just landing all of your reinforcements and equipment inside the defensive perimeter is very fitting for the universe. The people in charge are incompetent fools - and the mobile infantry are the ones who got tricked by them!
Shot by a rental cop in a fucking Walgreens. You could burn every Walgreens in this country to the fucking ground and it would still be less of a loss than a single person’s life.
I’m on the list
tbh I haven’t enjoyed my time on an internet forum like I have this one in many, many years. Y’all keep being cool :soviet-heart:
:flag-trans-pride: :uncle-ho-2:
I’m with you, GUIs are good the terminal should just be for troubleshooting.
He’s gotta have some kind of Epstein-type agreement with the feds, right? Didn’t he get in trouble in another country and get off easy there too?
I don’t miss sex scenes, but I do miss romantic subplots. I think the latest generation of Hollywood reexamining all of the bad “romantic” tropes in movies fell short because while they did finally learn that damsels in distress and trophy characters were bad, they failed to come up with something to replace them with, and now every male-female dynamic in pop films is either a preestablished relationship or something seemingly completely platonic (and in some cases it’s both, like in Iron Man where he has no sexual tension with his assistant outside of a couple snarky asides but then they apparently get married and have a daughter in between films).
MTG also manages to be a lot more elegant and concise with their rules than YGO has ever managed to be. I mean look at this shit.
Vonnegut had a lot of conflicting ideas, but identified as a socialist. I think he was in the somewhat confused vein of psuedo progressive we see today that is for lefty economics but is anti-political correctness, and the ease that Bergeron maps onto American antocommunist beliefs shows exactly where that particular strain of thought comes from.
I looked up the last one and yep, that Austrian guy was in the SS (and joined its predecessor group in 1933, helping Hitler get into power. No excuses for that POS).
Actually, Marxists should let capitalists do all the bad things and never oppose them.

pointing out bad things is anti-Marxist
I would argue that pointing out bad things is an essential first step in Marxism.
The coming climate apocalypse is bad.
You moron. You swine. You sniveling worm. Can’t you see that pointing out that something is bad when you can’t fix it is anti-materialist!?
can we dwell for a moment on how obscenely good that drummer/keyboardist is? god damn.
it’s a kids movie
pointing out that modern blockbusters are all written at a child’s level just makes the fanboys even more mad.
“Regardless” because regardless of whether or not incels are lying about YD, he’s still a person who made a game that prominently features taking upskirt shots of high school girls and he doesn’t deserve sympathy. Like, okay, you proved that the speculation about his code quality was baseless, I accept that, but fuck him and his incel ass game.
I remember when I was a teen a news story about malls playing a high pitched sound that old people couldn’t hear in order to annoy teens into leaving was going around. Never encountered it myself though.
