Ubisoft fans should be accustomed to being incredibly disappointed by now, surely.
- Comment on A rant on left-wing online infighting 1 week ago:
“if we fuck up our primaries, I’d still rather vote for a mediocre centrist by US standards, than allow what would likely turn out to be an actual factual Nazi to come to power through inaction/further bad choices.”
“ACKSHUALLY you’re on the right!”
“clown” – my default response when some fuckwit from .ml starts purity testing about leftism. Hi, by the way, you do realize you’re the exact kind of dipshit the OP is complaining about, right? Why are you even here?
“I’m gonna pretend like you didn’t just call me a clown, and tell you what you already know, that Gavin Newsom sucks; but that because you’re voting pragmatically instead of based on What I Think True Leftism Is, I don’t like you and therefor I’m right and you’re wrong” – and while subtly implying I don’t know political theory, that’s cute. I like your moxie.
>I proceed to explain why you’re a clown, that this country’s elections do not operate in a way that will result in anything better than “the least bad choice” being the correct way to vote until we reform how our elections work.
>instead of taking this moment to reflect on what I actually said in my first comment – I even just re-wrote a summary of it, first line in this comment, keep up sport – you decide to divert into “g-genocide!! newsom bad!! y-you’re still on the right if you vote for him!!!”
… I know he’s bad, you breathtakingly dumb fuck. Ideally, primaries will mean I don’t have to. But I live in the real world, and here in the real world, we run the candidate that wins the primary, and frequently our primaries are won by the exact kind of person Gavin Newsom is. Which is terrible, but still better than Trump (and I shudder to imagine how he could be worse).

>you think this is somehow dunking on me.
Man, I’d hate to see your performance when you think you’re losing.

No they don’t, it’s the same fantasy – “good things happen to good people, bad things happen to bad people”, just aimed at different demographics.

yeah, you’re right, if my choices in 2028 are between a mediocre centrist and a literal nazi, I should just stay home and not vote/vote third party so it doesn’t count (in the US presidential election, yes, they don’t count; no, this is not up for debate). thanks, .ml user, what would we ever do without your peerless authority and insight on True Leftism™?
now run along and go be a 🤡 somewhere else.

- Comment on A rant on left-wing online infighting 2 weeks ago:
As much as I despise the idea of getting a Newsom presidency when he’s about as centrist as politicians in the US get; it would still be leaps and bounds better than four more years of Trump, Vance, or whatever corrupt fuck crawls out from under the MAGA movement in 2028. I’m hoping primaries mean we get an actual candidate, so we could, I dunno, win on a progressive platform for a change – but being realistic, if we’re going off a cliff, pumping the brakes is still better than stamping down on the gas.

- Comment on The Earth is reflecting less and less sunlight, study reveals 5 weeks ago:
global warming at this rate absolutely does have the potential to extinct us, no matter how cool we think we are. Tenacity and versatility will only carry you so far when you fuck up nature so badly that all the things you’d eat for food are themselves extinct or almost extinct. At the point we were down to a few thousand individuals, I should imagine that the climate not being super hyper mega fucked helped immensely in ensuring those people had adequate food – you aren’t going to be running down a deer (or a rabbit, or any other wild game) in the post-climate-apocalypse world if all the deer are dead because the food chain supporting the deer population collapsed. You aren’t going to be farming because extreme weather variations will make it impossible, you might be in for a drought or a monsoon and you’ll certainly not have accurate weather forecasting to go off of by that point. Foraging? I sure hope none of the various food chains and water cycles supporting the growth of forage-able food has collapsed either (they probably will). Fishing? Ocean acidity, microplastics, and global warming are all fighting to be the thing that kills that off, take your pick.

I don’t wish for this to happen, mind you, but we are clearly living in the dumbest possible timeline, and so it is the only solution that makes sense
- Comment on The Earth is reflecting less and less sunlight, study reveals 5 weeks ago:
at this point I’m fully expecting the only thing that keeps us from extincting ourselves with global warming is almost extincting ourselves with nuclear winter.

and it’s a multi-billion dollar corporation, that already makes more money than you or I will ever see in our lifetimes, that actively strives to make the user experience worse for people who don’t pay, when they’ve got a practical monopoly in the “free video sharing platform” space. And you’re whiteknighting for them. 🤡 Image

Do you have any evidence that this person fled North Korea because they were a criminal? And I mean actual crime, not “forgetting to save the portrait of Dear Leader first in a house fire” crime.
No? Then why are you talking out your ass?

I got accused of being an LLM for the first time just a few days ago. Was pretty funny.
On the other hand, it’s when they actually get good enough at convincingly astroturfing to be indistinguishable from a normal human user that dead internet theory will truly take over. This could’ve already happened, but I’ve seen enough stupid shit vomited by LLMs to know it probably hasn’t happened yet. Once I stop seeing that for a while, then I’ll get worried.
- Comment on YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless" 3 months ago:
at this point I think my faith in other people is too damaged to accept such a thing from anyone I don’t know personally – (and alas, I have no friends up north), but I do hope you rescue someone worth saving. Not all of us didn’t see this coming. Nobody deserves that fate, not a migrant, not someone trans or someone poor or who jaywalked while black or anybody who stepped on that orange rapists bone-spurred toes.
Having said that, you should probably get rid of this comment, as I doubt Canada’s immigration authorities are very keen on marriage fraud, no matter how nice a gesture it may be.

Currently shit scared as a gay guy with autism. I studied this, on my own, out of curiosity – how a relatively modern society can commit atrocities upon its own citizens that it deems “lesser”. In school, where we had entire chapters dedicated to things like the civil war and the war of 1812, WWI and WWII were split between a single chapter, and anything later was glossed over in even briefer fashion. My point is, nobody chased me down with homework, nobody made me learn the finer points of going from an economic crisis to an angry little man getting elected to gas chambers and piles of bodies. Nobody had to. I wanted to learn, so that I’d hopefully recognize them if they ever happened again. And now I can’t leave.
Also, hey, sidebar: anyone else finding the combination of “cutting NOAA funding”, “open air cages”, and “located in Florida, where devastating hurricanes regularly sweep through”, to be something Eichmann would’ve called genius? “Oops, we didn’t have any warning! Awww, shucks, shame about all those un-people we wanted to be rid of!” And the gators take care of the bodies. It’s brilliant, in a way.
