all the new god portraits (so far) in hades 2 !!!

Israel has deployed auto-firing quadcopters that emit the sounds of crying babies.

There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.

Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.

If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.

End the occupation. Free Palestine.

The thing about MonProm is that literally every character is gorgeous. I remember seeing this gal in Roadtrip and squealing in delight. I will almost certainly never see any fanart of her or any other MonProm character that wasn’t extremely prominent in the original game

i love this man he is so fucking hot but like, nobody knows of him. theres no porn of him. no fanart of him. google images doesnt even have him. hes so hot and sexy and yet hes got nothing. not even a name. why make a super hot characters and shove him into the most obscure parts of a game, never to be seen by anyone.

most important thing to remember about being a woman is if youre married you have to go under the covers with your husband and laugh cutely and play wrestle so when you die to progress the narrative he can remember it in slow motion montages

please make every effort to vote <3

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

My only real and valid writing tip is that you google every word you make up for your fantasy stories. That's It

My last character is either a face claim for a 15 year old tabletop character I’m gonna be playing (if that counts), or one of the characters from the thumbnail of Quinton Reviews’ 38 hour Beverly Hillbillies video (since taken down because of aggressive copy striking). So I’m definitely in jail, and my lawyer might be coming down with me

If you guys were on here at 11 years old what would you be posting about

so: masking: good, unequivocally. please mask and please educate others on why they should mask to make the world safer for immune compromised people to participate in.

however: masking is not my policy focus and it shouldn't be yours, either. masking is a very good mitigation against droplet-born illnesses and a slightly less effective (but still very good) mitigation against airborne illnesses, but its place in the pyramid of mitigation demands is pretty low, for several reasons:

it's an individual mitigation, not a systemic one. the best mitigations to make public life more accessible affect everyone without distributing the majority of the effort among individuals (who may not be able to comply, may not have access to education on how to comply, or may be actively malicious).

it's a post-hoc mitigation, or to put it another way, it's a band-aid over the underlying problem. even if it was possible to enforce, universal masking still wouldn't address the underlying problem that it is dangerous for sick people and immune compromised people to be in the same public locations to begin with. this is a solvable problem! we have created the societal conditions for this problem!

here are my policy focuses:

upgraded air filtration and ventilation systems for all public buildings. appropriate ventilation should be just as bog-standard as appropriately clean running water. an indoor venue without a ventilation system capable of performing 5 complete air changes per hour should be like encountering a public restroom without any sinks or hand sanitizer stations whatsoever.

enforced paid sick leave for all employees until 3-5 days without symptoms. the vast majority of respiratory and food-borne illnesses circulate through industry sectors where employees come into work while experiencing symptoms. a taco bell worker should never be making food while experiencing strep throat symptoms, even without a strep diagnosis.

enforced virtual schooling options for sick students. the other vast majority of respiratory and food-borne illnesses circulate through schools. the proximity of so many kids and teenagers together indoors (with little to no proper ventilation and high levels of physical activity) means that if even one person comes to school sick, hundreds will be infected in the following few days. those students will most likely infect their parents as well. allowing students to complete all readings and coursework through sites like blackboard or compass while sick will cut down massively on disease transmission.

accessible testing for everyone. not just for COVID; if there's a test for any contagious illness capable of being performed outside of lab conditions, there should be a regulated option for performing that test at home (similar to COVID rapid tests). if a test can only be performed under lab conditions, there should be a government-subsidized program to provide free of charge testing to anyone who needs it, through urgent cares and pharmacies.

the last thing to note is that these things stack; upgraded ventilation systems in all public buildings mean that students and employees get sick less often to begin with, making it less burdensome for students and employees to be absent due to sickness, and making it more likely that sick individuals will choose to stay home themselves (since it's not so costly for them).

masking is great! keep masking! please use masking as a rhetorical "this is what we can do as individuals to make public life safer while we're pushing for drastic policy changes," and don't get complacent in either direction--don't assume that masking is all you need to do or an acceptable forever-solution, and equally, don't fall prey to thinking that pushing for policy change "makes up" for not masking in public. it's not a game with scores and sides; masking is a material thing you can do to help the individual people you interact with one by one, and policy changes are what's going to make the entirety of public life safer for all immune compromised people.

I'm pretty sure she didn't tell people to abstain, she mentioned she's gonna vote for a 3rd party. Your post made no sense

My point is that rhetoric about “both sides are terrible how dare you tell me to vote X way” discourages voters and was literally how psyops tried to sway the election in 2016

Also, as much as I’d LOVE if the US political system were able to actually support 3rd parties, our system is horribly broken and without major reform, voting 3rd party tends to result in the guy furthest from you politically winning. I respect that 3rd party candidates are more desirable right now, but it’s not gonna work out. The republicans would just overtake the left-leaning contingent, same as in 2016

I was gonna put this in the tags, but actually this needs said on the post itself:

OP, unless you're ready to lead the revolution, we don't have much of a choice. The options we're being presented with are two horrible old men that want to do horrible things. I don't want either to win, but unless one of them drops dead right fucking now they're gonna be the candidates. Do not induce apathy in voters, this always yields worse results. I agree with what you're saying, but I fundamentally cannot trust someone talking like this about an election. You sound like a psyop.

It's our civic duty to vote. Don't let people like this convince you to abstain. And don’t let voting be the only action you take to induce change. Protest, call your reps, and do all the other things you’ve heard a million times.

That said, this is very important, so please make sure this is one of those things you call your reps over.

Liberals will say shit like "Yeah, well Trump would be doing so much worse right now" while Biden and the Democrats pull shit like this

Fuck you and your lesser-evilism. I refuse to do the math you want me to. The appropriate level of fascism is zero. If you don't believe that, line up with the fascists and follow your leader.
