I had low expectations but holy shit

You know, I was listening to a recent episode of TMK and they had a guest on who was talking about how the games industry is a multi-billion money making machine with a huge impact on popular culture, and yet is a space where the left hasn’t made much headway into, even though there’s a lot of potential there.

I mean, Disco Elysium, a game that does not hide its left wing sensibilities at all, is currently the best-reviewed game of all time on Metacritic. How can this not mean that there is an ideological void waiting to be filled? If the games industry were not dominated by a handful of multi-billion dollar companies, I’m sure that gaming could have incredible potential as a medium for leftist thought to flourish. Maybe I’m just being too optimistic here.

I thought that episode of TMK was a very interesting and thought-provoking discussion. The guest’s name is Marijam Did, and here’s a link to it. I’m about to start reading the book that she wrote on this subject.

there is no IOF soldier or zionist westerner who will ever have a tiny fraction of the grace, strength and bravery of the weakest Palestinian

no need to put him in jail, next time he tries to shoot Trump his gun will explode like a banana peel and leave him with a scorched face and his hair blown backwards

okay guys but look, he’s using a green and white letterhead, it’s clearly a coded message, he’s flying Hamas colors which means he’s writing this against his will, he can still win

what do you mean? I gave it my ID number, now it’s called ID IoT and it’s totally safe

Man, jesus fucking christ… this world can be a very grim place sometimes

Did she really say that? Lmao after all these months of courting the right she goes and says this objectively correct thing that will nevertheless set them off?

Wait, is Vanced back online? I recall it having been abandoned by the developers, just like NewPipe

Absolutely, although I imagine that it would be prohibitively expensive and/or illegal for them to do so. That’s why I try to offset my leeching by seeding a ton of stuff whenever my PC’s turned on

I second the stremio + realdebrid recommendation, but with the caveat that it’s pretty bad for the torrent network, since it doesn’t seed… I use it, but I make sure to seed everything I download like crazy on my PC’s torrent client

call me bby

I like adguard, it’s not on the play store of course but it’s easy enough to install and it makes a world of difference (uses a fair bit of battery sometimes though)

really inspiring to see such an educator, teaching the world at large about what the internet is concerned about

This is how you know they truly are leftists

I think it’s kind of adorable, like a writer with good intentions but who’s kinda naive to discourse and still figuring things out lol

Ah yes, that’s typical Paraná ahaha

Like I said in my other post, I know literally zero Latin American Catholics who hate the Pope. Not a single one. It’s literally only American adult convert tradcaths who get fucking weird about this sort of shit lol

Dude, I always wonder why the fuck it is that American Christians, especially adult converts, are so fucking weird about it. In Brazil and Latin America as a whole you’re kind of born Christian by default and pretty much everybody I know in my generation has been baptized as a Catholic as a child, myself included.

Devout Latin American Catholics are some of the most unassuming people you’ll ever meet. They’ll go to church regularly, pray at home, maybe they’ll have some kind of jewelry with a cross, and images of saints at home, but they generally don’t talk about it. Evangelicals do have a certain tendency to be more annoying and vocal at times, but still, most of them are chill about it.

So why the fuck is it that Americans seem to be the only ones discussing the Council of Trent and theological theses and calling themselves tradcath or some other bullshit so often? It’s like they have no other social signifiers and are desperately grasping for any sort of identity, so they latch on to the weirdest forms of Christianity and do not shut up about it.

no way, this has to be fake lol

edit: checked her profile and couldn’t find it, but I found this banger here lmao

holy moly stay safe out there comrades
