They are lowkey the racism towers but no one wants to talk about that + they are pretty

we owe so much to her

i have 3 modes
flirts with you (wants you)
and
flirts with you (needs you)
and
flirts with you (its necessary for the bit)
i hope i make it clear
andy@oftensullen
Thinking oomf who flirts with you sometimes actually wants you is like thinking the stripper loves you
English
this is lowkey why not a single person over the age of 36 can be normal about this film or not write a bad review and it’s so much better of a film for it
Rory Blank@BoneJail
I have no problem whatsoever believing a 19/20 year old made Backrooms but it did feel weird to me seeing a movie set in 1990 made by someone who wasn't born until a few years after 9/11.

@AlephO273690 @cogito_yuri idk how to tell you but sf tech bros are hella conservative
English
@cogito_yuri Witches are too conservative though, culturally they are more about maintaining order than creating ruptures for progress. I feel like the Brimhats would be more like the techbros, purely due to the focus on breaking the norms at all costs type of vibe

@gaykittycorps Currently in the running for CA gov progressive billionaire. ran in 2020 basically just to build progressive support and meet bernie lmao.

@SwallowBug11 i dont think i know Steyer but im glad we agree. I also think it'll be Newsom vs AOC and they'll desperately try to manufacture enthusiasm for Newsom until he fumbles some primaries and has a bad PR move (like always)
English
he's successfully pushed the overton window back into embracing quirk chungus-ism. nobody's doing PR like him
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.
English
@gaykittycorps yup i’m getting ready for the AOC vs Newsom Primary and my dark horse is Steyer being the reason she wins
English
my big prediction for american politics is AOC is going to poach a bunch of his PR people and really try to make a run for president. i also think she has a real chance to win cause libs all over the world are suffering with the 20 year nostalgia cycle on the obama election
English
@gaykittycorps he is so good because this pr came out at the exact moment they announced hiring 500 new police officers directly against his campaign promises

@sam_d_1995 @comradejumpshot your just an austerity freak trying to sell off every portion of the public commons to capital
English
@comradejumpshot If by “NYCHA demolition” you mean rebuilding decrepit 80 year old homes more densely and giving every current tenant a brand new, high-quality apartment, then yes NYC-DSA should be supportive, just like Zohran is
English
@HimejoshiLover which so funny because to fly anywhere in the us now you need “real id” which is just as hard to get as a passport
English
the EU has a larger population than the US n u don't need a passport to travel within it either so....

@meowingcrimes yea it was so funny to open my medicine cabinet and seeing the 2mg estrogen dose my mom was on

@MorganLeFae17 I mean it just fully depends if you have a western only view of socialism or not
English
The question is if the history of the 21st century will be one of the total annihilation of all values, a return to the old or the birth of something new. But every issue the 20th century ended with (inequality, racism against migrants, climate change) have all been unsolved.
English
Finished Eric Hobsbwam's Short 20th Century, there's a dark irony that it's a book by a Marxist that made me more cynical about Communism than anything else I've encountered. It really captures the post-Soviet disillusionment on the left in a very confronting way.

can't even write a sentence that makes sense because of all the car brain you people have. like who told you that? who said that? did block club tell you this? like what even are you trying to say here i am fully confused
Block Club Chicago@BlockClubCHI
Lakefront parking gates have sparked concerns over access: "The lakefront should be for everyone." blockclubchi.co/4wXjXuY

@HimejoshiLover would be really fun feature in say city skylines tho
English
the best parking configuration is good public transit hope that helps
CR Sanchez@crsanchezx
Existe una herramienta de inteligencia artificial capaz de escanear una parcela en pocos segundos y diseñar automáticamente la mejor configuración posible para un parking. Impresionante.

@rejectHisDesign probably also helps explain why the types of people who enjoy them are so polarized either political side
English
@rejectHisDesign i think it helps that they are particularly bad its impossible to ignore the contradictions like it is in other genres of games
English
I've loved strategy games since I was a small child but they are particularly bad for this. It's long bothered me how they are *nearly without exception* pro-colonial and pro-imperial, despite the fact that underdog narratives are universally loved.
yareli@alittleyareli
crazy how just a little bit of reading into postcolonial game studies reveals how often games will casually reproduce imperialist attitudes; stuff like fog of war mechanics, resource extraction loops, civilized vs barbarian binaries, etc... it's everywhere
