  • Conservatism believes the minorities (of any demographic) want to take revenge on them and punish them. It’s so fucking telling that they KNOW they are intentionally hurting minority groups for the own [perceived] benefit. They believe minority groups want to enact their own anti-majority laws because… The majority wants to enact their anti-minority laws on minorities. Let me be clear, the majority is the largest demographic, not a 2/3 majority, not even a 51% majority. Just the largest group. 33% wants to hurt 6 other 17% groups. That’s any demographic you want to measure. “Christians” vs ag/aeth/mus/jew/hindu/bud. White euro vs african/latin/asian/indian/mid east/slavic.

    None of these groups want revenge. They want equality.

    Every fear of minorities is a projection of their own tactics, a justification for their own acts. The party of “tough guys” lives in fear. Fear of cities, fear of skin color, fear of immigrants, fear of not having an emotional support gun, fear of other religions, fear of measured facts hurting their feelings, fear of poverty, fear of invasion, fear of other languages. So they enstill that fear into every other group they can. We have insane abilities to communicate globally, insane amounts of corporate wealth hoarding, insane greed over resources, and yet they’re still playing the dark forest trope, telling you every noise in the night is out to kill you. .





  • “dedicating the land to God” Yeah, this is what God has always wanted. Hostile takeovers of other peoples’ land. Jesus had a ThinBlueLine sticker on his wagon and saluted bald eagles in the name of USA when he wasn’t telling darker people “if you don’t like it, get out”. That other god is demanding the same thing in Gaza, apparently.

    “Italian Americans… Have poured their culture into America” Fucking immigrants, bringing all their foreign culture here and changing America, amirite? As if Italians weren’t considered brown when they came over in the main immigration waves.

    “in the Bahamas” Ah, they finally acknowledge the dumb fuck didn’t discover America because 1. It wasn’t America and 2. There were people there. Still ignoring the part where the dumb fuck died still swearing it was India. Something something all brown[er] people look alike

    But damn, how about the epstein files?










  • Glad to see another player! There’s at least 4 of us here. I still love it, but play rate dropped way down when I went back to the office with a commute. I believe I hit about 700 hours 2020-2021. The events over the last year rekindled my interest and acquired my focus. The Thargoid invasion was fun, though I didn’t do much battle. But I nabbed a few dozen base-level goid kills since surface-based air battles didn’t have swarms. There were a few lucrative community goals since then as well. I made 1.5 billion last month with a cargo haul loop where I managed top 25% (mild addiction). I’m close to handing in the current CG with exploration data, though I’m not sure what the payout really will be. Should be solid top 50% for that.

    I’m not into the grind. I’m into the vibe. 1000+ hours with ~23 ships but only 4.x bil in the bank. High imp rank (got the Cutter) but still 2 ranks below unlocking the Corvette. Aside from CGs, I don’t really do any activity more than 3 play sessions in a row.



  • Games are about having a good time. If your idea of a good time is story and completionism, then sure, what a waste of time. Some people just want to vibe, role play, or socialize.

    Also some people just leave launchers open and rack up ghost hours unintentionally.

    Edit: I’m amused there’s so many reasons for leaving the launcher open I didn’t even think of. Personally, mine was just having a bad habit of playing Elite Dangerous until I fell asleep in the chair. Computer would go to sleep, I’d rack an extra ~16 hours before ei came back. Then I’d remember to check in the morning, cutting it down to like 7 extra hours. I probably have 100-200 racked up from before I got better sleep commitment. 2020 was an interesting time in which time itself didn’t matter for a bit. Rounding 1100 hours now.
