  • Kamala Harris unveils “Headquarters 67” to mobilize Gen Z through a new digital media hub

  • She needs to sit down and shut the fuck up somewhere far away and without internet access.

    Fr I am so tired of seeing this two faced anal discharge in the news.

  • [Discussion] What's your Soulslike origin story?

    Jump

  • The nice thing about Armored Core is that it doesn't matter. Every game is very well self contained. Im a bit partial to older entries in the series simply due to nostalgia, but AC 6 is a fantastic game in its own right. If you find yourself itching for more after playing through that a few times, the rest of the series awaits. Things get kinda hard to play and find back around AC3. Please also note that the numbering convention doesn't matter much and there are a bunch of smaller psp/one-off sequels.

  • Alot of you guys need to give the Armored Core series a try. I've been a fan since Silent Line back on the ps2. Armored Core 3 was cool, but it took the sequel to really hook me.

    Armored Core as a series is like a deep dive back into the development of Fromsoft as a storytelling company in addition to being a game developer. The scale of the conflicts, the ability to truly affect the story with your choices, and showing you the impact those choices have in more than just dialog. Its all a road map leading up to masterpieces like Armored Core 6, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring.

    I've honestly never beaten Elden ring, despite playing and enjoying for a while. I just dont have the drive to sit down and invest hundreds of hours to build the muscle memory I need to complete a game like that. But I already have those muscles for Armored Core, and a 20 hour story run is much more palatable to fit into a week than a 100 hour souls slog.

  • LAPD chief McDonnell realized he is a laughing stock when he says why he will not enforce the law banning fascist paramilitary invaders from wearing masks

  • CA penal codes 834, 835, and 837 empower CA citizens to arrest any other citizen who commits a crime in their presence.

    CA penal code 142 makes it a crime for any police officer who witnesses a crime to willfully refuse to arrest or accept the arrest of anyone who has committed a crime.

    If they won't work, put them in the slave pens. A few months of hard labor should remind them of their place. Obedience is not a choice for police.

  • Fuck Reddit's stupid shadow ban

  • Why the fuck are you still using reddit at all? You are directly contributing funds via advertising to supporters of fascism and pedophilia.

    Literally stop. Cut all contact. Do not respond or interact in any way.

    You are wrong. All thinking, feeling animals have the capacity for morality. Do not confuse morality with lawfulness. These ideas are not connected in this context.

    Compassion and empathy have long been touted to be the traits that separate man from beast, but lo, compassion exists in the animal kingdom as well.

    Nothing that makes people be people is significantly different than anything else found in the animal kingdom. Segregation of empathy is also a learned trait of those who trend towards lower overall intelligence.

  • What's an objectively terrible movie that you love anyway?

  • What's your pitch for a brand new cryptid or local legend?

  • I've always thought dead cars was a cool idea.

    Not every car is "real". Think ghost ships of the pirate age. There's some flying Dutchman of a resurrected ram van somewhere that's just running people off roads in the dead of the night. Perhaps in a peculiar fog with no apparent source.

    Maybe that car on your right at 2am in the middle of nowhere is actually a guy who died falling asleep at the wheel 20 years ago and he's keeping you company so you dont meet the same fate.

    Its endlessly adaptable and it has the strength of precedent.

  • Brandon Sanderson’s Literary Fantasy Universe ‘Cosmere’ Picked Up by Apple TV

    Jump

  • You're not wrong. In fact, most of his ideas on how to get magic are really, really dangerous for kids.

    One gives you magic from swallowing pennies. One might give you magic if you got really sad and tried to jump in front of a train to save a puppy. One of them explicitly gives you magic for catching diseases.

    Its honestly a terrible idea to try to adapt any of this to a wide audience.

  • Its a lot easier when you fucking hate them both lmao

    I was a huge fan for a long time. Took his "secret project" series to open my eyes. Guy launched a whole campaign around the idea that he would help improve the working conditions and pay of voice actors and authors alike. He raised $43 million dollars for 4 books and some merch with the promise that none of these books would be on Amazon until things changed at audible and kindle.

    Can you guess what happened? He got his check and not even a month later he's slinging all the books and audiobooks on Amazon. Of course. Mr.Mormon gotta tithe, after all. He can write all the gay and transgender superheroes he wants, so long as his money supports conversion therapy and polygamy.

  • It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US.

  • Picked it up during about 15 years as a welder. And I went to community College for a couple years where they had a shop program and learned to weld there.

    That being said I could probably learn a lot by taking actual formal classes, especially with CNC these days. Everything I know is manual machining, which is a dying art these days. Most old machinists have either retired or died with their secrets. Under 40 and able to run a lathe or mill with any semblance of accuracy is a surprisingly rare trait these days.

  • As a matter of fact, they do not.

    The lathe is from pre 1989 Hungarian People's Republic though. It'd probably have some cool stories at the very least.

  • You picked the wrong line of work.

    As a machinist, I'm not expected to work anywhere that's not in front of a lathe or mill.

  • Public service is specifically engineered to encourage bootlickers and weed out independent thinking.

    I was an employee of the department of homeland security for about 6 months back in 2023, and I was fired for invoking my Weingarten rights as a union member.

    This is very specifically against the law on local and federal levels.

    I told my union rep (AFGE local 1533) that my rights had been violated repeatedly. My rep told me "arbitrations are expensive" and that the union "will not pursue your grievances".

    I wish an eye opening lose-your-income-and-housing on each and every person working for AFGE in any capacity.

    Fuck them once for not having a spine, and fuck them twice for the thoughts and prayers email they sent me just days ago asking for donations in the name of Alex Pretti. Absolutely ghoulish behavior.
