Nah, the rules aren’t changing because we’re throwing a tantrum. Trump is a fascist dictator who will make the legislature powerless. Again, you’re living in a fantasy of stability. The entitled attitude of the liberal establishment is why Harris lost. They were expecting a free lunch; no radical policies in a system that needed it. People weren’t smart enough to direct their anger, but still smart enough to know things were only getting worse.

I’m extremely insulted that you claim “we” failed the Democrats, when minoritized people like me from solid blue states never could’ve voted any harder. We couldn’t have campaigned harder. We couldn’t have tried harder. We were the only fucking people trying to make liberal democracy work, but the rich got tired of us. You’re a genuine asshole for saying something so out of touch.

When the rule of law crumbles, I can only hope that you help those who need it more than you. I won’t care less about saying I told you so. Just get with the program.

They stopped being able to achieve my political stances. That’s why I’m done with them. I am a strong advocate of harm reduction, but the Democrats failed when Trump won. At a local level, it still matters, but at a national level, they’re all irrelevant now.

I just recognize that the rules changed; you’re still living in the past.

I don’t want to be like Luigi, but only because it wouldn’t play to my strengths. Him going to prison is the trade he made, but not really because it’s what should happen. The law is so opposed to what should happen at this point, that the mob is more likely to make the right decision.

I have no animosity for Bernie, or even AOC, as they’ve normalized democratic socialism for the younger generations. This is a contribution that cannot be understated, as it held back the American left since the dawn of our labor movement. At the same time, Biden is uniquely responsible for Trump winning, while the rest of the Democrats are a barrel of mostly rotten apples. They need to be abandoned ASAP, at least in national politics.

Luigi is more of a hero than almost all Democrats, with fewer bad points and more personal sacrifice. Idolizing him also expands his act of terror against the rich, who have no winning move against it:

• Act defensive and crack down on the left? Alienate the working class from Democrats.
• Do nothing? Best option, but the leftist message faces little opposition.
• Ally with Trump? He’ll gladly accept, but they’ll have less of a voice than with Democrats.

Liberal democracy was done for the moment Biden refused to step back after the midterms. It might’ve been done the moment he won the primary. Democrats refused to save it because of their corruption, and now class war is the best option forward. The alternative is a race war that starts with Latinos; an expansion of the culture war to its inevitable conclusion. The rich are responsible, so we must bring them down with the rest of us.

I’m also very gay :3

This is so cringe. I love it!

The pike units kill instantly before the enemies are in range to attack them. They need a longer delay before they can attack again, as real life people didn’t go down instantly and clip through each other’s bodies on the ground.

This is total BS! Every modern movie with good practical effects uses CGI. Even movies like Top Gun Maverick, which get marketed on their impressive practical stunts, replace almost everything in the shot with CGI. Even if everything is covered up with CGI, the practical footage helps VFX artists make the CGI look real.

There’s also how things are designed to mesh with audience expectations of how reality looks. Sometimes what looks realistic, isn’t actually realistic. This happens with CGI, it happens with practical effects, and it happens with writing. I’ve heard critiques made for decisions that track better than what people expect. It’s all an illusion, at every step of the process. Violence cannot be used non-lethally; modern VFX always incorporates computer generated effects.

It’s not only cheaper to do things this way, it’s more ethical/safe, AND it looks better. People don’t have to get injured or die, animals don’t need to be harmed, and you get to see shit that couldn’t be done before computers. Saying “instead of CGI” disregards the labor of artists, when 9/10 times, time constraints and poor upper management are to blame.

He could break my neck with his bare hands anytime 🤤

At least they’re prioritizing it! That’s better than I’m getting on the outside

I hope he’s finally getting treatment for his pain 🙏
