Look at what Nintendo’s been doing for the last like 20 years. PS2 level graphics but great game design

CN is far from what I’d call “militant”. Probably as well-documented and mild-mannered as radical politics gets. Then again, Medium deleted my length call out post of a former friend when he was accused of rape so maybe it’s not so surprising
I agree. And it was the only one of the season that seemed to revisit the original themes of the series
The Bear season 3. Season 1 was all about the working class and the conflicts of gentrification as demanded by capitalism and authenticity. Season 2 was similar themes plus struggling with maintianing a healthy life outside of work when you have crazy ambitions. And then season 3 was just… about how if you dont bend your will to capitalism and be a good cog in the machine of a fine dining establishment then you’re a shit human being? Idk man it really lost the plot
When I was a kid growing up in the Midwest, this is what I thought tacos were. And then a friend took me to a legit Mexican joint as a teenager and my mind was blown
Not enough ads in between sentences
Kinda disappointed the friend didn’t check with the driver at all and instead just wanted to leave the scene
And yet its collectivism makes it a much more cooperative society than America. People take care of the commons instead of taking as much as they can before anyone else
Also, comparing this to the way Chicago cops handle shooting people is interesting. They are so incredibly methodical about finding everyone who was involved, telling them to STFU while the cameras are on, meeting with a supervisor and confirming they are clear to cut the cameras. It’s incredibly chilling how efficient they are. See, for example, the videos here: https://www.chicagocopa.org/case/2024-0003052/
Watching the longer version of the video and seeing the point where the officer’s hand starts violently shaking while he breathes heavily and then some guys ask him if he’s okay and he just says “yeah I’m fine”… (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSN0cqzl__4&rco=1&t=25m20s) Like maybe this is part of why men are responsible for 90% of homicides? Like maybe cops should be getting a little more training in psychology before they get handed a gun yknow?
The idea that Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk, two of the richest men in the world, are somehow prisoners in America is truly unhinged
I remember these from like 2008. A lost art in the age of AI
I feel like I first saw it in 2015
It reminds me of when I got jumped and robbed by three dudes and someone called the cops cuz I was yelling for help. They showed up after the dudes fled and told me that even if they found em the courts would just let em back out on the streets tomorrow anyway. People really think the cops are just held on too tight a leash when really they’re lazy
I remember having to come up with a bizarre story about paying my brother-in-law in Kansas for a car because the clerk asked me why I kept coming in and wiring so much cash all the time…
Whoooops! I blame autocorrect…
Yeah so weird he said “an Intercept guy who reports from Gaza” instead of “Ryan Grim from Drop Dead News (formerly of The Intercept)” considering the whole point of them appearing on the pod was to announce the new site
I’d never seen that before so thank you. My day has improved. “Gee, let’s go to war” lmao
Business Insider discovers David Graeber
When I was a teenager, I literally had girls literally tell me they liked me but that I was too short, or they’d date me if I was taller. It bothered me a lot but I didn’t get weird and bitter about it or anything. The average height of a woman in the US is 5’4" so I was still able to find plenty of partners shorter than me or the same height or even a little taller, and the older I get the less it matters. I just always think of Prince who was 5’2" and just about the sexiest human alive. The hardest part is not internalizing American society’s standards.
