They’ve got other people they’re protecting besides him. There’s a reason why the people who go into that business are put there and it’s because they’ll do a little for someone

One reason why it’s trash, tackled. A million more to go. Can’t wait to see their progress in 2036

Gross. Not the guy I was thinking of

Is that the guy who runs @conservative on Lemmy? If so, he’s anti-Maga. Just saying it would be kind of nice to have the old pre-maga ones back.

This was so funny. Mandalore is great at finding the most unhinged Wii titles
- Comment on Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines, why is it so hyped? 1 week ago:
I’ve been banging on about it for a while. Prior to 2023 I was never big into vampire media. I tried VtMB on a lark after one of my favorite YouTube channels made some lore videos that made the politics sound really interesting.
I immediately fell in love with the 2000’s sleezy vibe. I’m a millennial and I’m nostalgic for trashy shit and it was just so perfect. Was my perfect Halloween game.
Sadly it’s only a facsimile of the cool World of Darkness setting but it’s adequate. Certain aspects are portrayed very well.
The new one is a better exploration of WoD because it’s more faithful to the setting but it lacks any novel moments that Pop like the first one did. Definitely try it if you just want to vamp around in that world. The combat will eventually just feel like a chore but the roleplaying is fun.

Did they? That’s strange considering how prez has let them off the leash with Ai regulation. In that case I’m curious if the data centers that are being built now will be the only ones.

Wow. That is an amazing description. Yeah kind of. I never thought of that before. And Ohio DID just import a shit ton of tech companies too so it’s almost exactly like the Silicon exodus to Colorado ten years ago.

I find the most effective way of handling grisly work like that is emotionally embracing the function of what you’re doing. You can care for the lives of the deceased and love your work without having to play stoic mindfuck games with yourself.
Alternatively, many drink. Or reduce humanity in their minds to a state of matter. Vulnerability is hard and most employers will only exploit it anyway

If you lived there you’d know it’s optics. They’re libertarian in Denver and Boulder and the rest of the state is red. There’s even sundown towns. You can smoke pot and marry your bro but you better both have beards and like fishing or else you’re getting fitted for the barbwire fence.

Somewhat? It happened with the German people’s large consent, which fascistic governments are effective at gaining.

Really hate to be the shithead here but there were a lot of people without Nazi tattoos who were goaded into voting for Nazis because they got accused of shit preemptively.
Yes I still blame them but yes maybe we should self examine that impulse a little.

Ty. Crazy that someone can build an identity from just that. Especially weird because I had understood omori was like a psychological horror game about suicidal children?

Anyone with a baseline education in history knows “good old days” is proponganda used by almost every bad actor that ever existed

I like learning things. Especially if I don’t have to dirty myself with becoming involved in a youtube person’s community.
If anybody would like to tell me the funny story but doesn’t want to kill the joke, spoiler tags are an effective option ¯\(ツ)/¯

I don’t get how people are still generating links to the actual image file listed on imgur. That shithole seems to have learned how to always direct you to their full dumpster website instead of just the image
- Comment on Believing misinformation is a “win” for some people, even when proven false 4 weeks ago:
Ooh, thanks. I’ve given up on trying to debunk things to people who’s reality has become highly subjective and vibes based. But I’m going to look at that book anyway. Inoculation is the tactic I’ve been using with my family to try and keep them out of pitfalls and I definitely swear by that
- Comment on Believing misinformation is a “win” for some people, even when proven false 4 weeks ago:
Jawn Louis is the channel’s name. He escaped the Jehovah’s Witness church and talked about being groomed into it as a child and how he got out. It’s just one guy’s anecdotal evidence but he does have the valid experience of actually been born into a high control group and his advice aligns with what’s been proven to help people heal from escaping those groups.
- Comment on Believing misinformation is a “win” for some people, even when proven false 4 weeks ago:
I’ve got anecdotes about deradicalizing people or I got links to videos about how the gotcha approach doesn’t work. I’m a terminally online anarchist so unfortunately my knowledge stems from terminally online spaces.
Beyond that what we have to go by is studying high control groups in the past and trying to better educate ourselves on how they operate.
My favorite example are Jehovah’s Witnesses. My favorite video about their inner workings has been removed but there’s a lot of documentaries about people who have escaped. Instead This is a channel that highlights the psychological tactics used by high control groups to erode people’s sense of reality and separate them from their families.
Innuendo Studios has a video about the grooming process into MAGA and a series on the mental gymnastics they’re using to stay radicalized. It’s important if you want to understand why the people in your life aren’t responding to being talked to like adults.
This is an oversimplification by an “enlightened centrist” who does actually do a great job of prescribing the best advice for trying to engage in debate theatrics: Stop engaging and move on.
Philosophy Tube is another terminally online leftist but that video describes the fractured models of reality that life in America creates and why you can’t just logic someone out of a worldview they didn’t logic themselves into. This one however probably comes the closest to actual prescriptive advice on how to deradicalize people and it only works on individuals you are personally close to anyway.
Again, I’m just a terminally online agoraphobe who’s only got personal stories about my loved one’s descent into MAGA schizoid shit. But all of the videos I linked have actual sources you could track down for further reading. Let me know if you’d like to hear the synopsis in my own uneducated words, I in no way expect anyone to watch all that bullshit.
