Holy crap I totally forgot that game existed. Me and my best friend were obsessed with it, drawn 3 tomes (yes, tomes) of comics about its characters.

I would love to discuss this with anyone that’s willing. If their government is as awful and fucked up as everyone says why does the average Chinese citizen generally have a better life than the average American in their respective societal totem pole (in cities specifically) ?
Because the social contract of 21st century authoritarian societies is “We give you prosperity, you do politics through gov-approved channels.” Punishment for dissent depends on how insecure the state feels right now.
On the plus side, the government cares about your prosperity. As long as it lasts, elites can divide power among themselves however they like.
On the minus – society doesn’t control its government (power transition happens by committee, not elections) and it can’t force any kind of change when elites are against it. Modern states have so much repression power, they can shut down any activism when they don’t mind bloodstains.
And when prosperity ends, the new contract will be “Do as we say and nobody gets tortured”. source: Im russian
For art to be art you need space to express yourself through individual choices:
In a prompt generated image, the image itself is not your expression. The prompt is, but comparing the amount of choices you need to make with a painting over a prompt, its just so… less art?

There’s also “A Half-Built Garden” novel where the whole “git as means of direct democracy” is central to the plot. Is gitpunk a genre?
That’s not a tip, love. That’s a leading question. Making a 100 bait comments an hour is easier than constructing one coherent one, I’d still recommend the latter. More satisfying 😛
Consequences of a social network being authoritarian are limited to the platform and, therefore, not a big deal. Whatever effects it has, leaving is simple. Authoritarian government regulates all public spaces. The consequences are life ending, and leaving (emigrating) is often one of the most difficult journeys a person will take on.
The insults are not required. Whatever creed you think you’re defending, not a good look sweetie.
I mean it is funny, but there’s a chasm between government censorship and whatever xitter is doing.
If there is one irreplaceable content network, it’s youtube. The amount of quality shit you can watch there for free is insane.
Thanks! I’ve only seen two of those, will check them out for sure. Severance especially looks right up my ally.
Very fair. Resonates with me somewhat, tho I still come to the anime well for comfort vibes.
What kind of shows do you watch instead, care to recommend some?
Immortality+invulnarability has to break physics somehow. Use that loophole to extract energy and build an entire civilization around yourself.
Be the immortal sun god of the endtimes.
Will probably be fun for a few trillion years.
Any particular reason why?
I am a person without financial and social capitals for transition, who therefore settled for as much gender non-conformity as socially allowed.
But thank you for asking 🥹

“It erased pictures of my nana, Im going to sue Gabe Newell!” Windows users 🙄🙄
(I am that user)
how dare you. I have friends they just go to a different school
It’s all vibes. There is no cheat code, you just have to grok social ques by spending lots of time with people. Put your 10000 hours in, its worth it people are fascinating.
That is one load-bearing “anyway”
Then what, aside from excrement, can you call shit.
