1: abolitionism

3: grand alliance of fuck-you-ism and i-dont-careism

2: i-dont-careism but with some concessions to make it look less evil. also absorbs much of the radical power of 1, neutering 1 somewhat

we must secure the existence of our libertarian people and a fair price for children

Ⓐ: a worker in a high vis vest can get away with anything, no one will stop them

Ⓑ: a mistress in a corset should be obeyed

Ⓐ + Ⓑ → ?

imagine the robot guard dog episode of black mirror but with these

Wow… 😍😍 Goddess… 🥰🥰🥰 You’re Smile Brightens My Day… 😉😉😉😉Amazingly Princess…🌹🌹🌹🌹

i use pirated 5-6 years old versions of PS and AI (illustrator, not the machine learning buzzword) that don’t have any AI (the machine learning buzzword) features and all the DRM functions have been neutered. i bought a download link on taobao for like 10 kuai, worth it.

i use them because the alternatives (gimp/inkscape) are pretty shit imo, but for drawing and colouring i use krita which is actually pretty good

i thought this was going to be a BDS lysistrata contract

like if my job sent me to a country i should boycott and I couldn’t afford to quit, least thing i could do is not have sex with the settlers

doesn’t make sense, because Hainan is a place that people have heard of

Rude! But what do the Chinese characters say, though?

Miami Beach = Sanya? Actually makes sense

Philadelphia = Beijing? Sure

DC = Shanghai? Obviously

Texas = Guangxi? since Mexico is Vietnam, this kinda makes sense

Las Vegas = Lhasa? Now we’re cooking with portals

yeah it’s pretty silly to connect a “serious” fantasy world with the “real” world, but most creation myths take place in a fantasy world but has a direct lineage (via mythological rulers -> semi-mythological -> real rulers etc) to actual history. i guess that’s what he was trying to do?

yeah but i remember like for example when they would have one of those japanese movies on and he’d say some weird shit.

Mike is maybe the least annoying conservative. he might actually practice conservatism by keeping it (the conservatism) behind closed doors and not flashing it in public.

i haven’t actually looked into this further so i can’t say for sure and don’t want to be disappointed

i think Kevin as servo is the one saying the most lines, not sure about rifftrax but older mst3k episodes have some awkward chuddy riffs from him on occasion

Joel, Bill, Frank and Trace seemed good right?

that concept of technological ages is kinda BS anyway

but for real, human history is like Mid Seier’s Civilization and once a technology is unlocked it will now be used in every city forever until the next one is researched. and our stories should also be like this.

i would not object to having a little skull servitor in a baby sling on my belly, with pens for arms, writing long effortposts (my real arms would also have pen-fingers and both hands would be busy writing separate posts)

these people would 100% have said something racist if the conversation climate was different. using “culture” as a blanket term, and dividing the world into big cultural groups, is almost always a dogwhistle

I wonder if these were some sort of fake NES/SNES/Mega Drive minis or just handheld emulation devices in general

the most common ones i’ve seen are

1: game boy that is actually an NES emulator with 999 games on it (with a usb port you can plug a fake NES controller into and play 2P)

and 2: the bar/coffee shop version which is a small arcade machine with two sticks and two buttons and is usually an NES or SNES emulator with a game selection screen. this one sometimes has qr codes to scan and pay with weixin/alipay before you can play

the gerontologic treatment! the side benefits include living for 500+ years and only remembering the last 150

we had a plasticky thing that you had to neatly fold around the inside of the cover of the book. there was also one that was self adhesive, you pulled the thing from the backing sheet and then stuck it to your book.

and yes as soon as you got your books you had to wrap them up

this reminds me of when some western propaganda news showed pictures of people allegedly killed in xinjiang (?) and one photo was Andy Lau
