I had a draft of about 5 of these results ready to go pre-face reveal but then everything went to shit so just for some closure here are the results (FROM SEPTEMBER!) ^_^

This chart shows the percentage of total respondents who indicated that they mained the people above. This isn't a comprehensive list, with other streamers like SBI, Benchtrio, or other DSMP-adjacent streamers rounding the answers out!

of the 598 people who filled out the survey, 98.5% main one of the people in the above chart, and 92.8% main one or more of the Dream Team.

From this question, it seems like DSMP creators are the main pipeline into dtblr—but a good 40% of us didn't start on the Dream Team side!

We have a good amount of people who came from the Corpse/OTV side of Twitch, and a decent amount of you who have been here a while, since SMPLive :]

A lot of us have been here a long time—66% of us were here before 2021. The vast majority have been here since 2021, a good 93% of us!

I thought it'd be super interesting to see how watching the Dream Team may have changed how we interact with their primary game, and it looks like a majority of us were crafters before and still are! They managed to get nearly a fifth of his audience here into playing as well!

A toast to the loss of most of dtblr's favorite MCC player to watch, something that we definitely mourned when we heard the news. But if you're looking for a new POV to watch, survey respondents put down a wide range of players—just outside these top 8 were Ranboo, Tubbo, Grian, Illumina, Purpled, and Hannah!

Another loss for 6% of dtblr with how this question aged, RIP Trust Issues :( But for the remaining 94% of us, our favorite Drusic is still on streaming platforms. Change my Clothes is only...500k listens away from 67 million listens on Spotify so 👀

Wow ok as this goes on I realize just how many chapters have ended over the last few months but a salute to the 26% of loreheads on dtblr! On to the next chapter :]

Now to a touchy subject...who's in the dteam privs? According to the survey responses, 39% of dtblr is in all three! Interestingly, there are more people who follow Dream's alt than his main. Fair enough, there are enough piss tweets on there to warrant unfollowing it!

Word of mouth and the YouTube algorithm seems to have been the best way for the dteam to get to us—interestingly enough, a good amount of people found out through either Heat Waves the song or through the fanfiction, ranging from it crashing ao3 to commentary YouTubers talking about it on their channels!

Now for some psychic damage, I'm seeing a lot more of RTAH posting on my dash nowadays but here's some solidarity for everyone who may have come from similar backgrounds ^_^

Now for some more history—a vast majority of us came from gaming content backgrounds, and nearly 17% of us were primarily mcyt enjoyers. Personal shoutout to Team Crafted viewers we're holding hands <3

Nearly half of dtblr doesn't consume much Minecraft content outside of the stuff our boys are in, though there's still a pretty large amount of people who watch other SMP's and keep up with the speedrunning scene!

This one is an ode to the lurkers who keep the economy strong—even now you guys are an essential part of dtblr! Same to the 30-40% of people who post the stuff for lurkers and other dtblr members to see. Everyone is important to keeping our little island afloat <3

Now onto Banter, most of dtblr doesn't make time for Banter Wednesdays, but if there's an interesting episode, it seems like the trio will capture our attention :]

Adding some literal variety to our results, I thought it'd be interesting to see what common variety games are our favorites! 95% of us would be tapped in wholeheartedly for Geoguessr or Jackbox streams. On the other hand, Fall Guys and Fortnite are in the middle of the pack, whereas it seems like FPS games are our mortal enemies—62% of us would tap out during Valorant while 46% wouldn't be paying attention to CS:GO.

Onto the topic of shipping, DNF steamrolled every other ship listed to have nearly 86% of responders saying they ship it. That lines up with the follow-up question, where nearly 90% of respondents either have experience with shipping RPF in the past, or have been caught up with DNFer supreme Dream's antics. Otherwise, there was a good distribution of love for most popular ships within DTQK+, with Karlnap, DNN, and Karlnapity leading the pack at around 25% each!

Ever wonder how dtblr is spread out across the globe because of the dash being dead at different times? Well, the vast majority of us are in North America and Europe, with 86% of us being between GMT +4 and GMT -4. Much like our streamers, though, a lot of us have fucked up sleep schedules so time zones aren't as much of an issue LMAO

Next up is a fairly simple one, I had another question that asked for gender but there was, as expected, a lot of variance and nuance that I couldn't fit into a neat graphic. But this one is a fairly simple one to graph so Well here's the 24/7 pride parade Dream mentioned coming in hot, with about 95% of us identifying as LGBT+ or questioning!

I wanted to test out my theory that GNF mains are also biased towards CS/Engineering fields, so I asked what people were studying! There's a pretty big bias towards the arts and humanities around here, but we also have just as many STEM people around, good on dtblr for academic diversity! As for my hypothesis, 22% of people who indicated they were George mains studied some form of CS/Engineering. George mains also made up 70% of all people who studied CS/Engineering. So cheers to my stem kid gnfers o/

Finally, I don't really know the best way to make a graphic for the favorite colors question, but just know that 50% of us chose either green or blue, and it was a near-even 25%-25% split. Great job dnfers, Dream would be proud <3

Thanks for reading! I hope that this was fun to look through, and I'll be posting an identical one for new dtblr soon! Super excited to see how things have changed since Well. anyways. Also wanted to say thank you to everyone who filled it out, reading all your answers was a ton of fun and I got a ton of laughs out of some of y'alls bonus section content and the few joke answers I got throughout <333

#long post #<- under the cut #lyss analyzes #lyss.dtblr #this took 7 months to get back to and then it took me one day of work to finish #LAWL! burnout is a bitch #but we're back I'm good now and better than ever so be on the lookout for the new one #and if you have any new questions you want me to ask shoot me an ask or dm and I'll consider adding it :D

trick or treat :3

You get a trick!

Behold, the original outline for the fic that @theoriginalcarnivorousmuffin have been working on for the past three months, that has consumed our entire existence and made us cast aside all our other fics:

Start of the semester, Dippet gets up to introduce the new exchange student: Asgeir Thorstensen!

“He’s in Slytherin, but not because Slytherin’s for evil people. So he’s in Hufflepuff, where the socialists are. But he’s your roommate.”

“What?”

“Have you heard of planned economy, Tom?”

“Well, Asgeir, let’s take a tour. Oh, you’re in every OWL class. That’s nice. Not sure how it’s possible, but that’s nice.”

No, no, he’s TA-ing because he’s actually done with the curriculum in every class.

“Then why are you here?”

Tom’s friends suddenly like Asgeir better

Tom loses standing in the Slug club, he’s just there to look beautiful now. No networking for you, Tom.

“Oh Tom, we made you a prefect before we knew Asgeir would be attending the school. Terribly sorry, but we can only have so many and would you mind handing over the badge?” “We’re not even in the same house!”

Asgeir introduces skiing to Hogwarts, they stop the Quidditch tournament and replace it with a ski race. Tom has to participate. Everybody laughs when he falls on his face.

Tom comes across a giant dead snake in the hallway. Myrtle’s dead body is next to it. It’s gross. On the wall is “Tom Riddle left this here and I am Tom Riddle”. Tom has to get rid of the evidence.

Asgeir comes to gloat. SO, CAN’T KILL MYRTLE NOW CAN YOU BECAUSE SHE’S ALREADY DEAD.

“The fuck is wrong with you”, Tom is convinced this guy is a Nazi

Tom tries to tell his friends first, doesn’t work out. He then goes to Dumbledore, doesn’t work out

Lily point of view: her son Harry is terrible at school and it’s getting embarrassing

Lily ends up having to take care of the acromantula which, sadly, also eats Myrtle. Somehow. Some bloke named Tom Riddle is blamed for this.

An American auror comes in, “I have a gun.” His name: John Magnum.

The Tom Riddle guy makes a scene when Magnum shows up, “you’re a fucking nazi, aren’t you? I know it!”

“No… but my gun eats nazis” the American says this while pulling out another gun from his coat. With each line delievery, he pulls out a new gun from an increasingly unlikely place (we’re at nostril holster by the end of this)

(Accidentally shoots Myrtle when the gun goes off during this conversation)

Lily decides to talk to this Tom Riddle guy, since the Myrtle Warren thing has been bothering her, can’t put her finger on why

“Have you ever tried leaving Hogwarts?”

They walk off the edge of the world and fall, until they land in the 21st century and in the middle of a wizardy lab.

The fic is called Asgeirs eventyr, which translates to Asgeir's Adventure. We have written 329707 words, and it's not done.

(And no, The Man Who Would Be King will not be updated until after Asgeir is done because the fics are now compliant with each other. We're playing with the idea of a crossover.)

Man, this is taking me back the misty water-color memories of scams I dealt with.

Of course there's the poorly spelled fishing emails and the robocalls about a problem with my car's "warran-TEE" always with that strange emphasis on the last syllable. I was always fairly certain that my car's warran-TEE probably didn't need to be updated on the grounds that I don't own a car, so it's probably okay to go without a car warran-TEE.

These have massively fallen off, and apparently that's due to more emphasis on busting up scams on the part of the Biden administration.

In terms of in-person stuff, I answered phones at the restaurant during the day before we opened for dinner, which is when sales people cold call the restaurant, which means it's also when scammers pretending to be salesmen call the restaurant.

Here's where I wish I could remember better what the scammer actually said. It was something like "Hi this is so and so with company, we are doing a routine service call, may I speak to a manager?"

So I said, "So we buy products from you?"

"No, this is just a routine service call, so-"

"So you're looking to sell us something? I can take your info and we'll get back to you if we're interested."

"No as I said this is a routine service call

"Okay, I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you're saying, what exactly is a service call?"

*sound of a scammer aggressively hanging up the phone*

I didn't even know for sure it was a scam until they unceremoniously hung up on me for asking too many questions, I just knew the manager had told me they weren't interested in picking up sales calls.

Then there was one that honestly I found kind of fun. This lady started a few conversations with me at my stand outside the restaurant, random small talk at first about stuff going on nearby, then later a little bit about success and the economy, and eventually she told me she was being mentored by a self-employed couple and if I was interested she'd lend me some of the books she was reading,

The first was the Go-Giver, a harmless business parable about, essentially, networking by being a nice person. If you get a reputation as a helpful guy who goes a little bit out of your way to help others succeed, they will then think of you when they're starting projects and go, "Hey, I want that helpful guy to be on this project" and you'll actually profit from those selfless impulses in the long run.

It's all a little bit corny and since it's a business self-help book there's a slightly unpleasant undercurrent of greed, but I've heard basically the same advice from plenty of successful freelancers it all seems innocent enough...

Or is it?! The plot of the book involves a guy who is stuck in the rat race, not getting anywhere, until a friend promises to introduce him to a mysterious business guru who helped him get ahead...

And the lady who gave me the book was being mentored by a mysterious couple who wanted to help people in the community and she could introduce me...

Lending me Robert Kiyosaki's "The Business of The 21st century" was over-egging the pudding. A confused, morally bankrupt attempt to sell people on the idea of "Network Marketing" by an unscrupulous man who admits he doesn't actually do network marketing. Rereading the bad reviews on Goodreads, I had remembered how incoherent the economic ideas in the book were, but I had forgotten the off-putting air of amoral greed Kiyosaki suffuses the book with.

Network Marketing, as you've no doubt guessed, is a euphemism for "Multi-Level Marketing" and the book is an incoherent attempt to trick people into it by playing on greed and selfishness.

Ex-President Donald Trump wrote a section. I hear he's going to drain the swamp.

I'm much more timid in real life so I think I said something like, "This just doesn't make sense to me and I'm not interested, but thanks" and that was the end of that.

That one was fun, there was an air of mystery about it, like getting inducted into a real-life Cthulhu cult.

The second and third time people tried to hit me with that pitch though, it just made me feel like I had a big sign saying "Rube" taped to my back.

To this day I wonder how bad the Go-Giver really is. Is it an innocent and harmless business parable and Amway just latched onto it and modelled their recruitment pitch after it, or is there a deeper, more sinister partnership at work?

The guy who got me was the guy selling magazine subscriptions on the sidewalk. He had a really bad family situation and he had to move away, and he'd only been in town a few weeks, didn't even have a job yet, didn't really know anybody, but he was selling these magazine subscriptions for commission while he looked for a job. I genuinely can't remember if he asked for my credit card number and I wouldn't give it out, or if he was just unambitious, but he wouldn't take no for an answer, Yeah, you have a therapist appointment to get to but you can pay cash, there's an ATM half a block away, it won't take much time.

I ended up giving him some small amount of cash ($40 I think) and my mailing address on an official looking piece of cardboard where you could check off the magazines you wanted to receive and walked away feeling pissed about being 15 minutes late to therapy, but it wasn't until I was thinking about it two years later and going, "Hey! I never go those magazines in the mail!" that I realized he was a scammer and not just an unpleasantly pushy salesman.

I don't know if I have a conclusion, really, I suppose I just find something interesting about scams. Perhaps you'll encounter something similar and be forewarned.

zionists want to act like israeli society doesn't support netanyahu's government or that he doesn't represent them, and that may be true in some vague ways when it comes to internal politics but when it counts materially

from the rancid times of israel ugh sorry for using them as a source

18 votes out of 120. and I as a us american know damn well that the votes of representatives don't always line up with the opinions of the people who voted them in but it isn't so simple as "oh no how did that happen???? how did these people we voted for fail us on this???" tbh I don't even know if more israelis feel that way or if they are of the opinion that it's ~too dangerous to hold elections while we are committing genocide~ like so many of their elected leaders. I'm sure it's a mixed bag, but I know they primarily want netanyahu gone - when I'm not so sure.

after 9/11 the us american (mainly white) people were riled up, frothing at the mouth like rabid animals. most americans were so supportive of the invasions into afghanistan and later iraq that any voices remotely critical of the bush administration were almost always censored in the media and by our communities. it was a horrible time and I remember it well.

I've heard so-called liberal zionists refuse to call netanyahu a war criminal, which is like the lowest hanging fruit ever. it's like calling george bush a war criminal - who wouldn't? well, back in the early-mid 2000s, a lot of white people wouldn't. in fact it wasn't until like 2005/2006 when more information and images started getting to the public that the tide began to turn, plus of course his inept handling of hurricane katrina which at the time was ALL over the news. like in the us we couldn't escape the horrors of our own government leaving mostly poor Black and Brown ppl in new orleans to die.

EVEN THEN, and a bit after during the 2008 dem primaries when barack obama was winning over hillary clinton because he pretended to be more anti-war than she was.... and I know I know I know they're both scum but this was how he represented himself because especially liberals but a lot of americans were HORRIFIED at the wars due to things like the abu ghraib torture "scandal" and the reports that were finally hitting the wider public.

and as pissed as americans were becoming at george bush, john "bomb bomb bomb iran" mccain was still winning in the polls of the general election until the economy crashed. and revisionists will say all kinds of things about why obama won but it cannot be overstated how much americans were done with the wars, with neoconservatism, with torture and gitmo and MOST IMPORTANTLY to many americans* the strain the wars were putting on us soldiers.

I bring all this up because while israeli and us societies are very different in many ways, we are also very similar due to a foundation built on the genocide and systemic dehumanization of indigenous peoples (and other marginalized groups) of the settler colonial state. ultimately most people who are in a position of privilege over a permanent underclass value their comfort and security over everything else. even their own ACTUAL safety (because absolutely none of this actually makes israeli jews or white americans safe, if anything it ensures more violent resistance in the future).

the labor party it seems as well as the ra'am party both tried to hold the vote but most other factions boycotted the vote.

so much talk about "we can't focus on elections during a war sorry" and "netanyahu should resign if he has a conscience but we're not gonna do anything about it" like... useless. absolutely useless.

the problem yet again is not netanyahu, although he is a particular piece of shit. netanyahu and trump and bolsonaro and that fucking hungarian fascist etc... these are symptoms of a wider problem in these societies.

the problem btw is fascism. in case that isn't clear.

*sigh typical fucking americans

Almost done Shay! Sorry if I am annoying! But I love drabble day! So….Junior giving in laws an ultimatum about his wife since he’s tired of seeing her so upset! Thank you girl! Much love! 💗

"What was so important that we had to rush over here, Kim Myung?" Jungah demanded to know. Both she and Eunji's father, Chul, were sitting at the dining room table at Junior and Eunji's house across from their son in law.

"Yes, we have a very important conference in the States next week that we're preparing for," Chul added.

"I needed to talk to you, seriously," Junior said and both of their eyebrows rose in interest.

"What about?"

"I know you guys have been talking to Eunji about moving in with us," Junior began.

"Oh, are you going to help us convince her?" Jungah smiled. "We just think it's the best choice for everyone."

"It's economy really," Chul said. "With you two having such busy careers and two small children, it's best to leave them with people that you trust."

"And Chul and I are more than ready to retire," Jungah chuckled.

"I completely understand that but Eunji has made her feelings on the matter abundantly clear," Junior replied. "She'd rather the two of you not move in."

"Ah, you know how Eunji can be though, Myung," Jungah spoke up. "Her emotions can cloud her judgment."

"And that's what I wanted to talk to you both about," Junior sighed, taking a deep breath and exhaling before he began to speak again. "I need the both of you to stop talking about my wife that way."

"Excuse me?" Jungah uttered.

"The snide comments, the way you talk about Eunji both to her face and to other people including myself, her own husband, it has to stop," Junior stated firmly.

"Myung, we don't know what kinds of things Eunji has been telling you but-" Chul tried to say but Junior cut him off.

"She's been telling me the truth," he said. "And even if she had been making things up, the fact that I can see for myself the way that you treat her is more than enough."

"So what?" Jungah shrugged. "Are you going to give us some kind of ultimatum?"

"I am, actually," Junior smiled. "Either you two stop with the horrible comments towards my wife or all contact will be cut off."

"What?" Chul laughed.

"You heard me," Junior said. "Eunji has wanted to cut off contact with you both for a long time now, especially once the kids were born, but I talked her out of it. I mean, who wants to cut their parents off and not talk to them, especially when she's your only child?"

"But now you're encouraging her to do it?" Jungah wondered.

"I'm encouraging her to take care of herself and her mental health," Junior corrected her. "Which is something that I should've been doing but nevertheless, here we are now. So, what's it gonna be?"

"We can't help the way we feel, Myung," Jungah replied. "You have no idea what we have been through with that child of ours."

"Eunji's no saint, she's always made that very clear," Junior nodded in agreement. "But as her parents, you both should've loved her through her problems instead of shunning her, especially when most of her issues were caused by you two and your inability to show her love and affection. I'm not going to lecture you though because I know from Eunji that you two are like mules when it comes to admitting what you did so I'm done. If you need some time to think through your choice, take it but I'm going to ask you both to leave in the mean time."

Both Chul and Jungah looked up in surprise as Junior stood up and walked out of the room.

A very old man just invaded my personal space at the pharmacy to lean over the counter and shout "I have the flu and you're out of dayquil!" at the pharmacist.

Couple of notes

He was not wearing a mask

He was actively wiping his snotty nose and touching the counter

He almost touched me

Now since it's not socially acceptable to murder the elderly, I decided to invent a conspiracy theory which the pharmacist either played along with or I'm late to a party.

"You should really be wearing a mask" I said to the elderly plague vector

He turns and fixes me with the reagonomics stare of fuck the future economy, gives a big snotty sniff, and says "I ain't scared of a fucking virus"

"Well sure," I say, safely ensconced in my mask and multiple vaccinations. "But what about the Chinese ai bots?"

This confuses him. He knows the liberal talking points. He doesn't care about his own health, or my health, or the pharmacist. But China? AI? These are scary words. The colorful picture box tells him so at night.

"What about them?" He asks suspiciously. This is new. A conspiracy he doesn't know but in his heart he wants it, I can tell.

"You haven't heard?" I ask coming up with multiple tons of bullshit on the spot. "All those new AI art bot things online? It's a Chinese ploy to make better deep fake technology. They steal your face off surveillance cameras and then recreate you they can spread propaganda."

Is this happening? Probably not. None of those sentences make sense. Why would they want random faces? To whom would your face be especially good at for propaganda? The AI art bots are definitely evil. Just saw the post today about tencent and their anime face capture nonsense, it gave me the idea honestly.

But he wants to believe me. I see that ancient hamster, a survivor of Noah's arc I'm sure, spinning that brain worm infested wheel trying to figure out where this lands in his universe. He takes a moment, another wet sniff.

"Surely we're fine inside?" He decides. The mask is still evil. The shouty man on fox said so. "Target is a good American company."

And the pharmacist, with perfect comedic timing in the most deadpan voice.

"Actually Target takes a lot of money from overseas"

The look on this man's face. His entire world started to unravel. Part of me wishes I could have done more but really, what could I have possibly added at that point?

The Perfect Plan (Jay Park fiction)

Epilogue

<Jennifer’s POV>

"You're doing what? You're going on a date with Simon?"

"It's not a date." Dana protested. "We're just grabbing dinner!"

"Yeah. It's a date. It would've been different if it was lunch, but dinner? Dimmed lights, nice music? He's taking you on a date!"

Are you free tonight? Jay is busy this weekend and I don't know what to do with myself.

I felt bad texting Dana so out of the blue. It's been a few weeks since we talked last, I was busy moving back to Seoul and she got swamped with work.

Umm...sure. I'll come by around 7.

When she arrived, she was on her phone texting, and she didn't put it away for one minute.

"Am I boring you?"

"What? No! Umm...sorry, it's just-"

"Work?"

"Not exactly."

"It's a guy? OMG, it's a guy. Do I know him?"

Dana looked at me sheepishly, while putting her phone down. "It's Simon!"

I remained quiet, not wanting to jump to conclusions. I had heard from Jay that he thought Simon started dating again. So Dana and him were getting back together?

"He called me a few weeks ago, he just wanted to check in, those were his exact words. We talked for a bit and then he suggested we could meet. So we went out for coffee a couple days later and we talked some more."

"About what? The weather, the current economy? Politics?" I raised my voice an octave higher. Jay never revealed the circumstances of their breakup to me, but I sensed that whatever Simon did, broke Dana's heart. She had become a dear friend to me, and seeing her hurt was the last thing I wanted, and I was willing to go to war for that.

Dana sighed, unsure whether what she had to say would change my opinion on Simon. But the fact that she tried anyway made me believe that those two had genuine feelings for each other.

"He had just ended a long-term relationship, I didn't know it at that time but apparently he was willing to marry that woman. But it ended and so he started dating casually. We met at a party, clicked instantly and I fell for him that night. He did too, I know he did, but he kept pushing me away, treating me like I was a fangirl. One day I confronted him, but he ignored me and walked away. A friend of his from the label heard our conversation and came to me afterwards. He said since Simon had a really nasty breakup, he lost trust in women and faith in love and it would take some time for him to open up to a woman again."

"And you stayed? And let him treat you like dirt? Because some other woman broke his heart? That's not your fault! Why should you suffer for it?"

"I thought he needed to see that not all women were like his ex. I stayed by his side as a friend-"

"Yet you wanted more!"

"After a while I could see I was slowly gaining his trust. We were still just friends, but in front of others he would be very protective of me!"

"Oh, Dana. No!"

"I know what you're thinking, but I wasn't imaging it. We had a bond!"

"Dana... you told me he ghosted you!"

"Anyway, that's in the past. He contacted me again, he didn't have to, but he did."

"He was trying to help Jay, I'm sorry if this sounds insensitive but he told me Jay was in pain and Simon would've done anything to help him."

"I thought a lot about whether I should tell you. I knew you didn't think much of Simon, but I sincerely hoped you would be happy for me!"

"I just don't want you to get hurt again!"

Nothing much was said after that, and Dana left shortly after. The truth was I didn't know much about Simon, just that he was Jay's best friend, and the one who got us back together. That made him a decent person in my eyes, but the stunt he pulled with Dana cost him some points. I decided I would have to get to the bottom of this, if nothing else than for Dana's sake.

<Jay’s POV>

It was already dark when I entered my new apartment I shared with Jen. It was past midnight, and Jen was obviously already asleep, so I carefully entered our shared bedroom, took off my clothes and hopped in the shower before I joined Jen in bed, pulling her close to me, allowing her to use my chest as a pillow.

"Were you working until now?" Her drowsy, muffled voice filled the room.

"We were rehearsing for the show tomorrow!"

"Right."

"Did I wake you?"

"I wasn't sleeping."

She reached out her hand, turning on the little bedside lamp.

"Can I ask you something?"

I immediately tensed up. I knew Jen wasn't a fan of me staying in the studio until late, or tagging along with friends who wanted to go to the club. And she definitely wasn't a fan of my female backup dancers.

"Sure, babe!"

"What kind of person is Simon?"

"What?"

She propped her elbow up, supporting her head in her palm, lightly tapping her cheek with her index finger. Her other hand drew lazy circles on my chest.

"It's just, I talked to Dana earlier and she told me about the time her and Simon first met, and that she thinks that they might get back together. And you mentioned before that Simon was dating somebody. Is it Dana? Please tell me it's her!"

"It's her! And Simon, he's had a really intense relationship before he met Dana. The breakup was, well, he didn't take it well. So naturally he didn't trust any woman he met and kept them at an arm's length. But he fell in love with Dana. Without realizing it, that fool! And when he realized, he pushed her away. Nobody knew back then, we all saw him being down and never knew the reason."

"What makes you think he changed? What guarantee is there that he won't go running for the hills next time he feels overwhelmed by his feelings?"

"I think we had a little something to do with it!"

"We? Us two? How?"

"I may have talked to him, after he confessed to me. Encouraged him to go after Dana if he still has feelings for her, said that if I can win you back he can win back Dana too!"

<Jennifer’s POV>

"Huh? Win me back? I remember it differently though!"

His brown eyes glistened in the dim light, a smile danced around his lips as he wrestled me and pinned me under him, his weight pressing on my body, exuding a sense of security.

"What are you talking about? I had a plan! I executed it. It worked, didn't it? How else would you be in bed with me now?"

"Excuse me? I was the one who mentioned a move back to Seoul first!"

"But I bought us an apartment months ago!"

"You bought it for yourself!"

"I bought it for you. And for our family."

"Don't joke about something like this!"

"I'm not! Haven't you noticed there are still two empty rooms?"

My mind went blank. All good and witty comebacks I had prepared vanished in front of my eyes as I saw Jay looking at me intensely.

"Where would you find the time to have a family? You're way too busy!"

"Say the word and I will drop everything!"

"I- You-" He silenced me with a kiss, instructing me to wait while he climbed out of bed and disappeared into the walk-in closet.

"I bought this months ago, even before I bought the apartment, even before we were separated." He opened his palm, revealing a dark red velvety box, like the ones that usually carry a diamond ring in them.

"I don't wanna push you in any way, but this is something that I wanted for a long time. I'm not being rash either, I just know what I want. I want you, and I want a family, a life, with you."

"I-" Tears were brimming in my eyes, I blinked them away, trying to gather my thoughts.

"Just take it, wear it around the house when I'm not there, see how it feels. I know this must be a shock, so I don't expect an answer right away, just promise me that you will really think about it."

I nodded my head furiously, tears staining the bed covers. But a wide smile was plastered on my face. It matched Jay's as he let himself fall backwards in bed, opening his arms so I could nestle in his warm embrace and fall into peaceful slumber.

The church bells kept ringing in that same upbeat joyful rhythm with my heartbeat matching it, beating excitedly in my chest. I kept fumbling with my dress in a desperate attempt to not get any creases on it.

Suddenly the door opened, the wedding planner stuck his head inside, looking left and right.

"Where is she?" He inquired, his eyes landing on me.

"Bathroom, throwing up." I casually answered.

"She needs to be ready in ten minutes!"

And with that he disappeared again. Seconds later, Dana emerged from the bathroom, a bridesmaid following her, making sure her dress remained clean.

"If people can't tell I'm pregnant from my belly, they'll sure notice it from looking at my pukey face."

"No one can't tell!" I assured her, fixing her makeup.

"It's just... I don't need people thinking Simon and I are getting married because he got me pregnant."

"No one's thinking that!"

Dana released the breath she was holding and inspected herself in the mirror.

"How are you feeling?" She suddenly said, locking eyes with me through the mirror.

"Me? I'm good! Yeah. Excited. For you!"

"Really? Then why do you sound more nervous than me?"

I chuckled, waving my hands in the air.

"You know you could be next, right?"

I looked down, in a lousy attempt to hide my smile, touching Jay's ring that was stuck firmly on my left ring finger.

"Yeah, I could be next!"

#7 - using the made-up words of their child(ren) in all their conversations

THANK YOU SO MUCH. FLASH FORWARD!

Rian was just about to walk around the corner when he heard the strangest thing coming from the kitchen.

Now, it wasn't strange at all for Hinata to make noises. She was a very talkative little girl, and the men of the house all loudly encouraged it by having conversations with her. It was probably due to her incredibly speedy development, putting her real age into question, but she was less than 6 months old and had already come close to saying real words several times.

The thing that was strange... Was the sound of Toshinori forgoing both English and Japanese and speaking to Hinata in a very precise sequence of raspberries and cooing.

The brunette poked his head carefully around the corner to find Hinata giggling her little butt off in her older father's arms while Toshinori carefully stirred around some oatmeal. She made another series of noises at him, and...

"Oh, you don't say, well..." He said casually, then made her own noises back at the little girl almost perfectly. "... So in essence, little flower, I agree. I give the stock market a solid 3 more months before those bourgeoisie suited bitches crash our country into the ground. Again."

Rian couldn't hold back the bark of laughter that suddenly erupted from him, and he barely heard Toshinori's exasperated sigh.

"Can you believe this, Hinata? We're having a serious discussion about the economy, and your daddy is laughing. Kids these days, right?"

The little girl let out another coo, and Rian laughed so hard he had to sit down.

He was so glad to be in a world where he could laugh this hard.

Thoughts on mutant supremacy in the x-men? it’s always been a complicated thing to me- on one hand it’s completely understandable why some would support it, go for it, in some incarnations. Hell, it’s not like humans haven’t done terrible terrible things in x-men that’s a main point. On the other hand, it’s also gross to me to judge and want supremacy over genetics in general, mutants over humans, much less have it come from Magneto. Thoughts?

It's an interesting question and one that I think looking at civil rights history can teach us a lot about! "Mutant supremacy" the way Magneto in the comics and original timeline talks about it usually seems like a really surface-level reading of Malcolm X. (You've probably heard that Professor X is based on MLK Jr. and Magneto on Malcolm X.) The more I dive into anti-racist history, the more this narrative gets complicated. Here's Malcolm X explaining what Black nationalism is really about, contrary to what people who only have a vague idea of what it is might believe.

This new type of black man, he doesn't want integration; he wants separation. Not segregation, separation. To him, segregation, as we're taught by the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, means that which is forced upon inferiors by superiors. A segregated community is a Negro community. But the white community, though it's all white, is never called a segregated community. It's a separate community. In the white community, the white man controls the economy, his own economy, his own politics, his own everything. That's his community. But at the same time while the Negro lives in a separate community, it's a segregated community. Which means it's regulated from the outside by outsiders. The white man has all of the businesses in the Negro community. He runs the politics of the Negro community. He controls all the civic organizations in the Negro community. This is a segregated community. We don't go for segregation. We go for separation. Separation is when you have your own. You control your own economy; you control your own politics; you control your own society; you control your own everything. You have yours and you control yours; we have ours and we control ours.

So when we're talking about Magneto, we've really gotta pin down what kind of politics we're attributing to him. Is it the cartoonish exaggeration of a fictionalized Malcolm X? Is he saying things like "mutants are superior" to counterbalance a "mutants are inferior" narrative or is he really trying to wipe out all humans, like he is in X-Men and X2? That's what we have to agree on before we can even begin to discuss Magneto's politics.

I also have to say that, unfortunately, victims of ethnic cleansing and genocide can in fact support ethnic cleansing and genocide themselves. See: Israel.

Review: The People's Joker (2022)

Just because I left Fort Lauderdale, and with it Popcorn Frights, behind when I moved to Boston last year doesn't mean I have to give up on horror festivals. And just as I managed to sneak in a trip to the Telluride Horror Show amidst my adventures in Utah back in 2022, so too did I find that -- where else? -- Salem, Massachusetts hosted the annual Salem Horror Show in April and May. Tonight was the first night, and they screened one of the festival's token non-horror films in The People's Joker, a queer Batman spoof made without any official approval from DC Comics or Warner Bros. (They originally had a screening of Hocus Pocus planned with Kathy Najimy as a special guest, but Najimy had to cancel at the last minute.) How was it?

The People's Joker (2022)

Not rated

Score: 4 out of 5

The People's Joker exists in a place very similar to that enjoyed by Escape from Tomorrow. In both cases, you have independent filmmakers making unlicensed, unauthorized use of American pop iconography, Disney in the case of Escape from Tomorrow and DC Comics in the case of this film, as a way of satirizing and critiquing it with a particular focus on its corporate ownership and its role in the modern economy. Unlike Disney, which permitted the release of Escape from Tomorrow, DC Comics and Warner Bros. actively tried to clamp down on this film, which was ultimately saved by fair use laws protecting parodies like this. And of the two, I'd argue that this film pulls off what it was trying to do a lot better. While both films are elevated by a particular psychedelic edge and punk-rock attitude, Escape from Tomorrow was too incoherent to really stick the landing or even really convey what it was trying to say, while The People's Joker manages to successfully pull off being not only a dark parody of Batman in which the Joker is the hero, but also a hilarious comedy in its own right, a queer coming-out story, a satire of the entertainment industry (especially stand-up and sketch comedy), and a film that manages to get its message across loud and clear. For obvious reasons, I don't expect this to be more than a cult classic, but it's one I enjoyed and do not regret watching.

In this take on Batman's most iconic villain, one that's most obviously based on the movie Joker but draws on many versions of the character (as well as elements of Harley Quinn), the Joker is now a trans woman who leaves her disapproving mother in Smallville, Kansas for Gotham City in the hopes of becoming a comedian like her idol, UCB Live star Ra's al Ghul. There, upon being exposed to the gatekeeping and hypocrisy of the world of mainstream standup comedy, which here serves largely to prop up a corporate-run dystopia even as it still claims the legacy of those who once spoke truth to power, she starts her own underground "anti-comedy" troupe in an abandoned carnival that comes to be comprised of many of Batman's traditional baddies from the comics. (Her trademark gag is inviting people onstage to tell the world their saddest experiences and then huffing Smilex and laughing her ass off at their misery, because after all, this is still the Joker we're talking about.) This eventually puts her on a collision course with Batman himself, who's depicted as not only the jackbooted thug that more cynical deconstructions of superhero comics have framed him as, but also a perverted closet case on top of it. (Let's just say, this film gets a lot of mileage out of all those jokes you've heard about his relationship with his sidekick Robin.)

The film ain't exactly subtle in what it's saying. UCB Live is a clear-cut parody of Saturday Night Live, right down to the fact that Lorne Michaels is a character in the film, and moreover, its initialism is lifted straight from the famed Chicago comedy troupe the Upright Citizens Brigade that played such a major role in the development of standup and sketch comedy in the '90s and '00s, including producing multiple SNL stars. And while the film never names him so directly, you also get the sense that its writer, director, and star Vera Drew really isn't a fan of Joe Rogan or the standup circle he's built around himself, either. The Joker's introduction to UCB Live's casting has her body being scanned and her being deemed a potential comedy superstar because she has a small penis and is therefore mistaken for the kind of insecure man who the industry is built upon. Her comic idol Ra's starred in a Borat-like film whose main joke was making fun of foreigners. The whole reason Batman, an avatar of the elite if ever there was one (being the CEO of Wayne Enterprises and all), comes after her is because she directly criticizes and threatens the ruling class in a way that the corporate, sanitized world of UCB Live merely pretends to. Drew is somebody who clearly has experience with comedy and the people who inhabit it, and is very much writing that experience into the meat of the story, a metaphorical representation of an entertainment industry that, in her view, only cloaks itself in populism and progressive language enough that it can fend off criticism without actually making any meaningful changes.

Much of this is told through a mix of a riotous and raunchy comedy and the Joker's romance with her fellow comic Jason Todd, aka "Mr. J", a trans man who's envisioned here as a mix of Robin and the edgelord Jared Leto version of the Joker from the DC Extended Universe. The gags came flying at a mile a minute, and often had me busting my gut in laughter. The whole cast is game for the material, with Drew making the Joker a compelling anti-hero not just as a comic presence but also as somebody whose journey from a Midwestern girl-trapped-in-a-boy's-body to a flamboyant Clown Princess of Crime was one that I found myself genuinely invested in. Kane Distler as Mr. J was also an interesting presence, somebody whose relationship with the Joker starts promisingly only for him to turn emotionally abusive and self-centered (complete with a "gaslighting" pun that had me cracking up), indicating that, when he transitioned, he wound up embracing the most noxious forms of hypermasculinity. And as for the style of the film, Drew goes for an exaggerated feel that combines live-action filmmaking, highly stylized CGI, what appears to be a mannequin representing Poison Ivy, and very crude animation both 2D and 3D to create a feeling that reminded me of watching Adult Swim or surfing Newgrounds back in the 2000s. There clearly wasn't much of a budget here, so Drew instead leaned on creativity, both her own and the dozens of artists worldwide who each contributed to the film. It was as unique a film to watch as it was an entertaining comedy, one that demonstrated a lot of talent and commitment on the part of everybody involved.

The Bottom Line

There's no way in hell that The People's Joker is ever getting a wide release, but if it plays near you, I highly recommend seeking it out, as a twisted, countercultural sendup of everything from superheroes to mainstream comedy to who gets to call themselves "the counterculture".

Tales From A Self Check-out.

If I could possibly not spend over a 150 bucks on basic ass groceries, I might just keel over, and die from excitement. I'd really enjoy it a lot more, if it didn’t remind me of the shit on a stick state of the economy. Currently, I experience the weekly grocery run in a pool of flop sweats, deep breathing exercises, and a perpetual state of shock. They're charging 15 bucks for a slim bag of jerky?! It's a no for me, dawg. Though, I did pay 2.99 for one single purple onion recently.

On the average grocery run, it's also inevitable that you'll be exposed to the general public. I've actually been a lot more chill about this recently. Yes, my friends, you've heard it announced here, on the internet. For the very first time, I am embracing the general public. I may smile at strangers and say, "Hello there," when our shoulders pass and brush up against each other playfully. I may even strike up a conversation about the general state of banana ripeness in the fruit iles, because I'm very lonely.

The self check out is my holy grail. The final boss. I like the self check out. It makes me feel important, and in control. I'm earning these goddamn groceries. I also like to ring in my organic fruits and veggies under the non-organic prices. I'm under the impression that everyone else does this, too. We're all in silent agreement as we ring in items under their cheaper counterpart, together.

As I'm going through self check out, this dude comes over to the one next to me. He says hello to me, but in a weird elongated way that implies his attraction. "HelloOoooooO." I'm wearing giant obtrusive earmuff headphones. I'm not even listening to anything because my phone died in the car on the way here. Though I still wear them just in case a situation like this happens. I dont usually enjoy chatting with strange men. I know I said all that stuff earlier about embracing the general public. While this may be true, in this particular situation, the vibes were off. After I pretend not to hear him, he scoffs, and I hear him say "okaaayyyuuuuahhh". I go about my business, and he continues to talk out loud. "Wow, 22 dollars, not bad!" He's very proud of the monetary value of his purchases. I, however, have met a problem. I've never been good at estimating prices or basic 5th grade level math. I may look at my cart, and see a hundred dollars worth of items, but as I'm scanning them in I'm watching the number go way above the 170 dollars cash that I brought into the store tonight. I'd usually just use my debit card at a time like this, but I lost it about a week ago. The average normie might panic and block the card right away, thinking it could've been stolen. The ADHD in combination with the copious amount of weed smoking I did in my early 20s, shot my short-term memory to shit. Losing my debit card is a regular occurrence. In the meantime, I just survive off loose cash and wait for it to fall out of a random article of clothing. I just watched this documentary on the migration of whales from Hawaii to Alaska. It's the longest migration journey that a mammal takes. It fascinates me that they just KNOW where to go. They don't have a compass or Google maps. The documentary says that they tap into the Earth's natural magnetic field to help them navigate. Humans are mammals, too. So, with that being said, is it possible that I could reach the force that leads me to my lost debit card?

So, I'm there at the self check out. 200 dollars (worth?) of groceries, and only 170 to spare. The fluorescent lighting glares in my eyes a little bit sharper than it did before. I feel sweaty. I raise my hand like I'm a middle schooler desperate to ask for the bathroom. Not because I actually have to pee, but to exercise a little freedom from the educational prison and wander the halls. One time, in the fourth grade, I excused myself from math class and found a cozy closet in an empty special Ed room. I hid there for two hours until a random teacher opened it. "What are you doing?" She asked, naturally, in a sweet southern accent. I panicked, "uhhh, I'm looking for the bathroom." To this day, I kick myself for not coming up with a better excuse. She politely showed me the bathroom anyway, even though she totally knew I was full of shit. Then, I rejoined the kids at recess time, and nobody noticed I was gone.

The Safeway worker comes over to me, and I explain to him the situation. Just as I do, the dude from before starts making exasperated noises, as if he's suddenly insecure about his once joyful amount of grocery to price ratio. He alerts the Safeway worker that's in the middle of helping me. "Once you're done with that, I need your help. Though, it's not NEARLY as bad as her problem." Screw you, random strange man. Was he not just trying to get my attention 3 minutes ago? Now I'm the girl with the problem.

I take off some of my items to dwindle the price down to match the amount of scratch I hold in the zipper head of my pink teddy bear purse. "...And I'll take the beets off." It was my last request. My sweet ginger pickled beets. They were the hardest to see go. "Ahh. Beets." The random strange man comments from the sidelines. In a way, that didn't express cheer or disgust. It was more of a statement. The meer acknowledgement of beets existence. Finally, I turn my head to give this guy a look. His feature prove exactly how I pictured them in my head. A cross between a fast fashion version of Liam Nesson and one of those ginger kids on South Park. He gave me a twitchy smile that reminded me of the moment before my first kiss. I was thirteen, with my first boyfriend, in a dark theater watching the Blind Side. I remember feeling nauseous afterwards. As the random strange man smiles at me, I resist the natural urge to smile back. I read somewhere about a serial killer who would smile at women in public and then target the ones who would reciprocate the friendly gesture. Then, I feel a particularly wave of sadness that comes when you live in a society on the brink of a SiFi dystopia. One where kindness from strangers is lost, and I pay twice as much as I need to for basic ass groceries.

We have some progress in the area of getting your funds released to you. We heard people talking on the radio and they said these masks are nuts and we're not doing the job at all because of them and they're trying to use it as threats to gain more and more stuff and to make more weaponry and they're just sitting there making it and they're ruining everything because they're idiots and it's the same formula and it is Trump too and we heard it from a bunch of people and several different groups and there are four or five more lock groups and seven or eight foreigners groups and three miscellaneous groups and they're saying it differently and all over the world at the same time because we're talking about it and what they're saying is that the empire is threatening through other people all the time now it's huge it's everywhere and tons of morelock are hearing it and his son has been saying it this is what they're doing and you're idiots for it we know it's them they're going to get wiped out and they are getting hit all of the world the max are falling and now the warlock miscellaneous and foreigners are gelling and saying you're threatening this little boy and he doesn't need it at all and it doesn't do anything. And they're totally opposed to it and they're trying to stop Trump and Dan who seem to be unstoppable about it but they're not and they said she's a****** Max and that's what it is and mac daddy putting it out and he said it's probably my Doom but these people won't stop and we're hitting each other it's a waste of freaking time what to do is wrong and I don't know what the hell happened to them listening back shortly and losing territory and totally and ruining things threatening him losing territory and he went on and on but that's what's been going on. And we hear from Chris Crow and he sounds like this noise this stupid comments and the dumb s*** he thinks he's smart he's running some Force manure Tommy f is doing it too time you have to do for quite a while and something they turn into when they think they're awesome and I'll tell you what mac daddy didn't do much of it these people do a lot of it and they have to be the plane cuz they just won't stop. But they're being attacked and we're going to take advantage of it and attack as well I'm sick and tired of hearing this childish s*** that is hurting our people because they're stifling the economy they need they're so dumb and go around pissing everybody off trying to ruin the world it doesn't make sense but it's very aggressive and it's a loser plan and Mac didn't have a plan like that and they fell into it by being assholes meaning they force themselves into this plan it's not the one to use it's one that use if you're desperate it's exactly what it is we did the research and others will as well we're going to publish now

Thor Freya

We're going to use this to our advantage and we're going to get in there and take stuff and we have to what they're doing is ridiculous and it's terrible and horrible and they want to destroy Earth too and we're going after them

Hera Zues

Olympus are two our troopers what they're putting them through it's ridiculous and Thor and Freya too it is ridiculous treatment and it's from adults and we are going to go after them very hard shortly

8/29 night Taking the article with the title claiming that complex infrastructure won't survive the competency crisis into account, which calls into consideration that high-precision white people are generally what keeps the most complex machinery online in the first place, which is a very high-maintenance thing - How do I say this? Japan even has narratives like Midna at the end of the game saying, if there were a lot more people like you, the world wouldn't have these problems - something to that overall effect - but that doesn't make Japan a non-racist country. It takes high maintenance. And I'm one to believe in the potential of artificial intelligence taking over for that purpose. It still takes a minority at the very least of incredibly high-maintenance to keep these machines in peak condition.

For this first time, I've seen a reply saying that the belief in A.I. taking over every responsibility will ultimately just absolve currency of its inherent value, meaning that the elite can just reassign the values required for basic things like bread as they will it. But, that's the first time I've ever heard of that. It is what it is.

Update So yeah, persecutest thou as much as thou will the article that complex infrastructure won't survive the competency crisis, there's a cheeky opportunity for a reference to the Statue of Liberty's poem right now, "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Update I wish we had something better to talk about. Is that too racist? Heh heh heh heh heh

Frankly, a lot of anons are already banking on the collapse of the economy.

Update Yeah, my younger cousin's in the tech field, but the best I've personally seen of him is a weird Python game program, so I'm not particularly impressed, yet

I don't know what I want to pursue out of my own life

Update A lot of this gameplay is goofy bullshit - if anyone takes the quip about Cuphead seriously, they're a dumbass - unless of course you catch my drift - then that's different

I'm feeling like this is bullshit within bullshit

Update It's not like I can't go at this kind of thing, per se. It's just that I figured virtually 100% of people can't do this kind of thing, so that would make doing so "antisocial".

Update I wish I could get *half* mean enough for Cuphead in all seriousness

I beat all the bosses of Kirby, minus some of the boss rushes - I'm not even able to lick the bootstraps of some of these Cuphead bosses

Update Okay, so I don't have much purpose in my life.

Update I'm giving up on getting drunk in the way that normal people experience. By the time I'm even approaching that, I feel like either just craving actual food or just throwing the stuff up. Basically, it's impossible without it getting to the point of being like food poisoning with me.

8/29 After writing out the parts I was searching for for the purpose of understanding better his core philosophy, I don't think The Portable Nietzsche is actually definitive at all. But for an introduction at a glance, it wasn't bad. We're going to have to find these texts online.

Update Okay, so in reviewing the two actual full texts at a glance, we're going to do A Genealogy of Morals. in Beyond Good and Evil is a focus on the utter falling-throughs of his times and reflects that pessimism that I've been told about him. It focuses on what *not* to do, which I suppose is less of what his core beliefs actually are.

Update Okay. It's been a lot of going back and forth, but here we have Essay 3:

"11 Only now, after having gained sight of the ascetic priest, we attack seriously our problem: what does the ascetic ideal mean?--Only now matters are growing "earnest.""

Good so we're getting somewhere

This is page 159 in-book

8/30 I wrote out the rest of that essay, which led me to another split between The Joyful Science and The Will to Power. We're not there yet, but that was a solid introduction.

Don't stop

Update Well, after short review, I've concluded that the new dawn seen by Nietzsche over the "death of God" as it might concern what he has called the ascetic priest is altogether a misconception. First of all, as I've already noted, there's no historical account of miracles like in the post-Gospels New Testament that is regarded seriously in the modern day, which is what that kind of lifestyle was largely contingent upon, leaving the only moral foundation viable left the exact described castrated mindfulness of the herd.

But let's be realistic as to the actual social forces at play in the modern day: either way, you're getting at some form of globohomo in and of itself, because the Christian lifestyle of sharing resources clearly amounts to Communism, and the death of God is clearly a nu-atheist sentiment exclusively.

What he calls the ascetic priest as an attempt to cast his own narrative about it going away finally could just as quickly be dismissed with the obvious of repeating that one article about how the deep state implicated by Trump is alive and well and how it's just a - something really stinky about it being relatable and how we need to give credence to it, but not like that, because it intended for something very stinky and - jewish

Update There's still nothing to do even though it's morning by now

Oh well, life is just a hopeless meaningless void, let's go kill ourselves

Update after sleeping Just like "ironic shitposting is still shitposting", even if its conveyed through irony in memes, being of the ascetic ideal is being of the ascetic ideal. I'm pretty sure no one knows what that means. But I don't think there's a person on this earth who isn't of the ascetic ideal. That's how I know there's no hope. There's no future.

At the end of the day, people taking it in the ass in life is just icing on the shit cake. That's why trannies for example will always and perpetually be "coming correct" in fact, when they say the right wing is "obsessed" with them: the ascetic ideal which is what is truly represented in the propaganda supporting them at the highest echelons of all of our societies parasitically is undisputed, to the degree of sheer absurdity. You're not even *looking* (something something liberal exasperation - I don't care.)

So correction: the ascetic ideal of "the Nothing" is all we culminate to as *mankind.* *Thus* is our continued pining that the deep state is to be cast out unnatural as obsession

This is the reason even 4channers trying to shitpost ironically with doge memes and the like can't even break out of the mindset that, to fix the world as it is, you would have to end up with absolutely no one left on the planet, because unconsciously, we have it absolutely established even without knowing it that there is truly "no separation between jew and Gentile" but merely more members of the ascetic ideal which culminates in the anal worship of "the Nothing". So, in that are we expected to give the "little guy" who's just trying to get by following orders from his higher-ups a little bit more of *respect* in that their ideology of herd-collectivism is, for better or for worse, the predominantly prevailing social order of human consciousness in itself. Even so, that comes off like "kiss the ring".

Update I can't deal. So, to the effect expressed by the cuckold who said it, "don't talk to me or my wife's son ever again"

Update I've been reclusive for several months because all these retards taking it collectively in the ass have long concluded based on my example that anyone who wants to fight the government is a (something I don't know or care about it) retard, making any further assertion of this mess a pure act of chutzpah that subsides as soon as it's passed. (That's not true and you take it up the ass every day - every single one of these people calling me a retard as in I'm fucking up the game has been the obvious retard the entire time, and nothing has stepped forward to even give an exception to that)

I have to go so far out of my way to even detect what wavelength you're even on making statements and memetics like that, it's like having to drive out into the middle of bumfuck nowhere every single fucking time. I want to die.

Update When my detractors that I used to frequent reach the point that they feel like they've convinced themselves so that there's nothing left to be said, what am I supposed to do when it gets beyond the extremity that I can't impose on that consensus anymore without it being such an extreme that they feel the need to impose the government on me? Because all the kinds of detraction that I take personally also happen to get along swimmingly with the new-world government. I'm then just supposed to go in there and set off all their alarms that I'm their enemy in a mortalistic sense.

So with all that out of my system, I can say I'm generally more easygoing than all them. But I know from hard experience that it's never a good thing to walk on eggshells with them, because things like that get set off.

Update I beat Rage on the highest difficulty today. My review overall is that both aesthetically and thematically, it feels like an introduction to the new Doom and Doom Eternal. Good gameplay, but frankly the ending, once you figure out the damage required to beat the new enemies introduced at the last second, all they're doing is spamming more of them, and there's no real final boss at all, and they kind of pamper you with new ammo leading in to that final mission.

Also, of course, there's some personal level to my liking this game rather than wanting to play Doom Eternal first. From renting - actually renting Doom 2016 from a video store before it closed shop - the way the new demons set the tone for the new games, it just seemed unrelatable the way everyone's jumping around like a complete retard. Rage actually seemed to have a premise (at least looming off in the distance - which resolves with the conclusion of the game itself with no further actual story) - and then the new Doom story-wise seems like what it looks like - chaos for its own sake - but I haven't played it yet

I haven't even heard the good things about Doom Eternal per se - I've heard people say they've heard good things about Doom Eternal. Actually, that summarizes the kind of review that I see of modern games anymore.

Update The gripes I thought were minor actually constitute an unironic rant: Halo gameplay, especially past Normal difficulty, where it stands out

In Project Brutality, they have ammo that starts to feel like Halo and kind of reminds me of it: it is called low-caliber rounds. What a thing to limit oneself to against your greatest enemy, the Covenant.

Also, there was a Mythbusters special where someone militarily-involved actually demonstrated that the concept of running at the same speed with like eight different weapons as in Doom 3 was actually realistic. Then what is Halo doing - you get two weapons. Right, and not only that, this is according to someone who already has to wear unrealistically-heavy power armor everywhere he goes, Master Chief. So you saying there's no weight to spare -

Update (Paraphrasing out my ass) "You know how much this gear costs, son?" "Tell that to the Covenant" Yeah

Update And, just making some attempt to mediate with that argument before the one about Doom and Halo - first of all, if it takes that long to figure out what wavelength you're on, figuratively speaking, to even know what you're trying to say, that inherently means it's not self-evident. So then on the other hand, I might not have the best valuation of the lowest common denominator in mind regardless, having my own idealism in mind with my endeavors.

So then after that comes the crux of it from their side: the lowest common denominator are (obviously) the more common! So am I obligated to be directed toward that?

Update So because of that split between focus on idealism and the lowest common denominator among the right-wing, I may react to you thinking your gay point is self-evident with a cutoff of "no"

Update Doom ammo v. Halo ammo: Literally self-cameo of the director of Pulp Fiction: "Bonnie goes out shopping, she buys *shit*"

I'm considering whether to keep that. It's stinky.

Update First and foremost, I'm going to have to atone for my sins orated against boomers The people who systemically said, I'm enjoying my wine and dinner; I don't care what happens to the untold generations after I'm dead

Realistically, a boomer forms a hot take: I'm bracing for impact. Compromise isn't about to happen there. They are ignorant. They are ignorant.

Update In grade school, we literally had a story - I don't think the racial element was intended to be a consciously-acknowledged part of the storytelling - but the narrative was about a black family in bad conditions where the man of the house thought they would start a small organization with other individuals and improve the quality of life in some way, and the ending consists of the others up and running off with the money. You expect us to be like early Christians with black people? Especially if they're inner-city blacks, just don't trust them.

Update So if it was deracialized, what does it mean? It would be that message even in rap, "trust no one", intended even for all white people. In this environment? I can't say otherwise.

Update If I catch sight of my youthful ambition again while drunk, in that moment, it's like nothing wouldn't be worth grasping it again, even in a dark sense - and that is despite the fact that most people wouldn't have taken it for what it is seriously in the first place, the same from then until now - a question of if it's the right day and age for it or not?

In a sense, frankly, I hate the artistic direction itself of "minimalism", but I had a lot of the inspiration of "cubism" as a basic structuring. Cubism even in a simple game engine could still include the rugged texture, provided the modern day's upscaling, of Doom's marble surfaces.

"God forever geometrizes" - does minimalism appeal to that or not?

I'm positive there's a realistic middle ground workable between the perspective of, we should have room to be more pretentious, and the - frankly overstated, you're "fucking up the game game game"

Because at core, I *know* there's an inspiration in my ambition where it has hit me like a ton of bricks undeniably in the past

Consider the episode of some cartoon which became a meme where a woman is saying, paraphrasing, "edgy" is where a set of corporate executives make calculated moves to appeal to their set audience - if you're "minimalistic" in the most commonly-recognized use of the phrase, it's probably more like that than what would be in taste.

My boomer dad - my boomer dad plays (all the damned time) Watch Dogs 2 on PS4, which starts with a mission with that very style of music, and, thinking about it, what does that amount to My dad still spends a lot of his time re-exploring that game to the exact same effect, just taking pictures of semi-realistic monuments

Update Okay, okay - it feels like breaking the fourth wall, but, in the time Denzel Curry made "The Game", I also made the quip that I have one job in that instance: don't come off as a narcissist. So is that distinct from screaming "that you game game game" or not?

For quick-reference, *definitely* don't want to be a narcissist. There's no value in that.

Like, I would love to be regarded as a pioneer when it comes to ideas - there's that

I referenced Death Grips - Niggas on the Moon, and there's probably justification behind the fact that Death Grips hasn't released anything in the past few years. Hey

Update I've heard recently that the age when individual men would have duels to sort out conflicts was a more unsure age, because of the lethality of the things. Honestly - if duels were non-lethal

There are things that I would love disputing that I would *never* lie my life down on the line for - at best, today's conflicts would be considered "proxy battles" - and guess why that is? Because people generally are ignorant - no getting around that

Update Drunken rants for those which I deem to be so stupid I consider us on a level playing field regardless of the fact: Halo's energy weapons: I wish your shooting devices wouldn't give out after every four seconds of initially using them, as would think anyone in their remotest right mind. "Halo: MyFirst FPS": Encyclopedia Dramatica

Update Nietzschean philosophy: boy, I wish globohomo jews would direct their will toward themselves, as opposed to through and superceding the will of the lesser-willed Gentiles against themselves Realiity: "No good" *timeline severed*

Update Fighting these "Hunters" in Halo on PC is ridiculously easier than on console

Let me tell you how much I love bureaucrats, and those supportive of that mindset, as of 2023

"niggers"

Update for sure Halo, with its bureaucratically-delegated rations of low-capacity ammo, so that artificial difficulty would rule the day on its respective platform for who knows what reason ever - you could say, how does that then compete with Siren? Well...I guess no one ever went there.

Update So then, dare I ask, what is "charm" as we call it held between Siren the series even outside of American release and Halo as an American "you can Ghillie-Suit your way through anything you want if you ambition hard enough" type of mentality?

Update If it's all forfeit for what it was anyway, /pol/ is replaced with whatever races - who knows why - where the rest went off to Telegram or wherever else, despite none of those sites constituting remotely the social media web site that the original board was. I guess I commonly represent Encyclopedia Dramatica's vision - so if I add my own narrative - to make up for every pre-prejudice of society even in spite of social justice, since, in the first place, social justice is just yet another product of what has been coined as Nietzsche's ascetic idealism.

Update So as for those medical pamphlets that were documented online, saying that, our - I even forgot the word - - see, I can't even remember the word! Meritocracy. Those pamphlets were claiming that that word being used as an appeal was some kind of last stand of white identity, or something along those racist lines - but, at the same time, before I ever heard of that, I always considered that that would always serve as a last potential middle ground between these issues. Since nobody will listen to anything else. So then I guess if that's really past, although it may have just been forced, what would be grounds beyond that? I don't think anything else would constitute a fair contest. (Of course that just highlights the inherent lack of legitimate comparison in our Western cultural divide)

I wish I could ever enter "Zen state" as it's been applied to people playing video games seriously sometimes, mainly back when they were talking about arcade games, which were much harder

Update Because there is enough rallying toward the idea of feeding the entire world and ending world hunger, wasn't there already the debacle of Bill Gates testing his own system for Africa to turn even faeces into drinkable healthy water? Why hasn't everything been solved even remotely? Why couldn't that excess money to Ukraine etc. have been donated to Africa, especially for one-time investments such as these to make the effect permanent? I don't know, and neither do - *how* close to 100% of the government's lackeys?

And in times when Common Filth re-quotes things like Shakespeare's "all the world's a stage", I wish he could manage to speak with a bit more authority. That's no insult. But there are people acting like I need to take my meds even though I already explained it was primarily just for anxiety and literally nothing else.

We don't have a good system.

Update So, to be very open about these things, they're coming out with such things as the rejection of meritocracy not very openly, but with their feelers, per se, to see if it's okay or not so that they can get away with it.

Update "A Revaluation of the Adage "Nigga" - by Friedrich Nietzsche"

I don't think he would have ever addressed black people in depth, because he was already spending his time critiquing everything wrong with European people, holding from the standpoint of all their highest philosophers and artists. Truly Hitler's philosopher.

Update If I could ramble without it getting on most people's nerves - that would be convenient for me In Five Nights at Fuckboy's, there's a line if you view a bottle of some kind of booze on the floor in the main lobby by Freddy Fazbear - "get crunk" - but actually thinking of that as the lore for Chuck E' Cheese's animatronic mascots

(and other such one-liners)

Update Rappers Nietzsche, since I read as close to his core philosophy as I could manage just recently, said personally he wishes still to see the positive aspects of the English philosophers of his time, even despite knowing in advance they all gravitate unnaturally toward the same exact ideas unoriginally. So with rappers, in a sense you already know what they mean in the "cultural sense" is that basest thing from the back of your unconscious about the thing. We (clearly) don't live in a perfect world.

What is ontology? Obviously we don't know minorities in the same sense as deep=state jews

And no one is tested in real life in any way like we've come to know, over this generation, the nature of tests of skill implicitly given in videogames

I might still have to agree with the now-non-active meme, "extra mild [sauce] for white people"

Update If I'm going to be "pretentious", I'm going to make a bigger playlist than I did on imgur

I download these on ytmp3hub.com now to get them at whatever compressed quality you can get at its highest proclaimed quality of 320kbps

4.Warbled (Level - Slipgate Complex) - YouTube

Update Select from Yuque's OST - underrated *Many* such cases

Update To preserve the ambience, we'll wait a little longer before posting for such a playlist

Update "Pretentiousness" honestly I don't even think would describe how I value my own youthful ambition - and what, I'm going to expect people to see me as not a narcissist despite that? Always a contradiction. Why I don't be productive - I'm too self-conscious.

As in, "causes my jaws to *call*: "yuh" Y'all niggas ain't doin' shit

Update There's a contradiction - even in saying, what would Nietzsche himself have had as an impression - if I'm too drunk, just plainly, on principle, I shouldn't post it because it's risky

Take it as you will, the minute thing isn't so important - Yume 2kki, back in 2014 when the (secret) Library with the musical segment (taken from Ib) was still fresh and new for what it was in the context of its present era - that was obviously more than the minute interpretation one would have like right now, long after that era - I saw it when I was first alone in college with a roommate even at the time I tried my best not to remember in the first place

Update Thinking "correct"ly, you can't hurt the corporate algorithmic oligarchs enough, even physically by your human means

They hold more power, beyond all justifiable reason, than you know

What was a lifetime? What was a lifetime? What is the total profit? Compare that to the corporate oligarchs.

A million years - guess what? - their rates are in the first place far faster - do you expect to win by a war of attrition? They win presently, by doing nothing.

I want to invent a word harsher than the n-word, because certain of these shills are so horrible. They definitely deserve it. There's no doubt about that much

And these are the run-of-the-mill, where I have to witness it online

I feel like, in a sense, I'm actually *obligated* to espouse kino

Just because of this position, and scenario

But then call to mind, boomers were legally allowed ecstacy, the drug, and felt that induced sense of unity, and went on to think that the rest of us descendants can all die for all they care - so what is that in itself

Between the prospect of being drunk at all or not - not being drunk at all has life feeling too long altogether - being drunk makes time fly by, to an extent it feels unnatural What am I trying to say? History is too slow - - [redacted]

Update Nietzsche's coining of the "spirit of gravity" - how is that related to my own sense of history (or rather the "end of history" as we're taught (*that it is*) in the modern day) and the inherent boredom that comes with it?

And I assure you - no matter how much shills will reinforce to you that you not doing anything violent against jews specifically at the present moment in and of itself means you have no capacity in you to do anything ever at any point in time - I do not apreciate jews or their ascetic priesthood, or the ascetic idealism of the - boomer, or any of such adherents, or any such people

Update Honestly, the space - not even necessarily in the sense of the word the "right", but literally just the "space" to be "pretentious"

Time takes too many days, with no responses, at least from males - in fact I get more responses from females online than males

Tired of the autism diagnosis, which people give for lack of a better understanding frankly

I don't really have a better term than Rick and Morty's "true level" for the basic concept of what I would want over the day-to-day (I never saw that segment - I just heard about)

that has already been designed based on a number of templates that you can choose from if you do want to learn how to use designer I've also got a tutorial on that I'll link up the card just above Here for you to go and watch okay so the next tool in order to create some sort of ebook or PDF document if you don't want to use a program like designer is Google Docs now I'm recommending Google Docs versus Microsoft Word because Google Docs is for free for years and it collaborates With all the other apps in the Google suite so whether you're creating a one-page guide or a hundred page ebook you can use Google Docs for that and then export it as a PDF all in one central location in addition what I love about Google Docs is that it's all cloud-based Meaning that you can also have other team members such as an editor or or perhaps another writer and work together simultaneously on that same document it is my own personal preference to use Google Docs as opposed to Microsoft Word because I use all of Google's range of Apps anyway like Google sheets and Drive so I might as well have it in one place and that's why I'm recommending using Google Docs ok so you've created your products or your PDF document or ebook or course now it's time to actually sell it so how do you go about selling it Well you need a landing page and for that I can recommend a couple of tools and the first is called leadpages leadpages will allow you to create landing pages real quick based on a number of templates that they provide in their library now I have to note that Leadpages does come at a cost either monthly or yearly and can be quite costly if you're just starting out but it is an easy and fast way to go as opposed to trying to learn how to create a landing page from scratch learning HTML or learning how to set it all up Using WordPress from scratch there is an alternate tool or WordPress plug-in that is they can use it's called optimize press I've been using optimized press for a number of years now and the great thing about optimized press is that it's made for online marketers so the templates that they provide you in their Library they're quite optimized for conversions and also with optimized press the pricing is a lot affordable coming out something like a ninety nine dollars per year for one site so do check out leadpages and optimize press to see and determine which solution is best for you in terms of putting out your landing Page ok so you've created your landing page what now how do you deliver your product to your audience well you're going to need some sort of digital delivery system or some sort of shopping cart and for that I recommend something like a junkie or you can also use a Wordpress to actually host your files each idea is more of an all-in-one solution we actually manage your products add your products there and add your download links there and they'll actually host your download links for you with the WordPress route or option you're going to have to upload to your WordPress Media library and then from there you grab the download link and then that's what you provide to your leads your subscribers or your customers when they go and download your product now with the WordPress route you're going to have to integrate some sort of shopping cart system I do use thrive cut for that so thrive Capcom or alternately you can simply go to PayPal and inside your PayPal account you can create Buy Now buttons and from there you can add your download links and once you get to that stage of adding Your download link all you need to do is this copy and paste the download link from your WordPress media library over there so then after customers purchase via PayPal they get instant access to your product the downside with that though is that you can't do things like sales funnels and upselling customers Things like that so if you do want a better solution for that I do recommend something like thrive cart and I'm not sure

in terms of how detailed or how advanced a junkie is but do take a look at a junkie as well if you are looking for some product management system to Deliver and set up all your products all right next up a tool that I use almost every single day is ScreenFlow now ScreenFlow will allow you to create video tutorials and on-screen sort of training for your customers so if you do want to create a course based on Something that you want to create on screen then ScreenFlow is a great tool however it is limited to just the Mac OS if you are using Windows I highly recommend you use Camtasia these two tools do come at a price if you are looking for a free option to look at screencast-o-matic However the free plan will only allow you to create fifteen minutes of video for free my usage for ScreenFlow is basically for customer tutorials so I'll show them exactly how to setup a product or how to set up a landing page and you'll see in some of my other videos on What types of content to create using ScreenFlow all right the next tool or it's not so much a tool but a way to create content or perhaps your products faster is to use and take advantage of P content if you're unfamiliar with PL I will link up a card Just above here for you to learn more about PL but what it stands for is private label rights now you've probably heard of the term private label rights in the space of drop shipping or physical products that's where perhaps a buyer purchases something from China where they manufacture a lot of products And they private label it they put their logo on their product and then they sell it as their own the same concept goes in terms of PLR content you have a range of Pilar sellers who sell private label content so that you can rebrand it as Your own put your name as the author and the Pilar business is actually one of my income streams and if you want to take a look at the Pilar products that I have available for sale simply go to www.hsn social media and online business or online marketing so if you're in any of Those industries or niches then do take a look and grab one yourself all right tool number nine is going to help you in terms of productivity and actually getting things done on a daily basis and that tool is called motion motions like your own workspace so think Of it as a way to put all your projects into one place whenever you have ideas or whenever you have a list of things to do you can put it into notion access it via your web browser on your desktop or your mobile I personally use motion to Put all my content ideas I've got my YouTube content calendar on there my social media calendar on there so all I need to do is when I have an idea I put it into the ideas column and from there I can then plan out what I'm going to Talk about for that this particular topic and then it moves on to in progress and then once it's in review that's when we get our other team members to go and edit the content and then I can start publishing it after that so as you can see it's kind of more Of a streamlined way of working and a more structured way of working so that you're not all over the place and you're trying to think about what do I need to do next if there's one thing that's been responsible for the success I guess of my online business and as an Entrepreneur its insistence I'll make sure that I systemize all parts of my business so that my team members not only myself know exactly what needs to be done and so I have things like standard operating procedures so that my staff know exactly how to do a particular task now there are Alternatives to notion and they are Trello asana and Basecamp so do look at those options but I have gone from using Basecamp which I do use for parts of my business but we are slowly transitioning over to notion but that take a look at their options and see which one would Best fit for your needs last and final tool or more of a resource is up work or using Fiverr now West case if

you aren't a writer if you aren't a designer and you simply don't want to actually create the meet of the content for your course or product you Can always outsource it all you need to do is write down a few ideas or some bullet points that you want perhaps your writer to go and expand on and from there you'll have your course or ebook or product a lot faster because the last Thing you want to do is stare at a blank screen you know that blank screen of death trying to think about what to write but if you have ideas it's great to just put it down either on your note note-taking tool or you can do some audio recording so if you're better at Talking then perhaps whip out your phone and start recording your voice and then send that voice recording over to your write-up which they can then turn into some sort of course or piece of content so again the places that you can go to actually outsource things you can go to Upwork which is my favorite upwork.com and sometimes I go to Fiverr however I find the quality is not as great and you know if you're going to hire someone like a writer I would highly suggest going to up work because there's more quality and overall you're going to find More writers on up work alright so those are the ten time-saving tools to help you create your digital products faster and easier over to you what do your product creation tools do you use to help you create your digital products make sure to comment below I'd love to Know if you have any questions about anything I mentioned in this video or a particular tool comment below and I love to answer your question by the way if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to his channel below if you haven't already make sure To turn on notifications as well so that you'll be the first to know when I release a new video each week on this channel thanks for watching and I'll see in the next video [ad_2] #Top #Platforms #SELLING #DIGITAL #PRODUCTS #ONLINE #CREATE #DIGITAL #PRODUCTS #COURSES For More Interesting Article Visit : https://mycyberbase.com/
