we are well past the point at which anyone who cannot identify bad faith like this is disqualified from commenting on it
the girl and her mother are basically screaming THIS IS A BAD FAITH ATTACK ON TRANS PEOPLE at the top of their lungs and if you can't see that you're stupid or lying

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

I understand that there are a lot of people out there who think they have good intentions and love to take their ideological opponents in good faith because it makes them seem fair and reasonable and I truly cannot overstate how dangerous this is to trans people and how much they should stop

wake up dead man was great. Bit on the nose but probably the most thoughtful of the three Benoit Blanc films. Pretty careful meditation on faith as a source of meaning and community and how its promises can so easily become poison

What the fuck is up with the modern delusion that we owe a famous and wealthy person a path towards, idk how to say it, parasocial reconciliation?

with the game awards coming up i wanna remind everyone that the message Clair Obscur sends at the end is that women can not be trusted to make decisions and that it is the duty of the men in their lives to take their agency away for their own good

I dont know if this counts as “woke” but I think that the vast majority of conservative orgs including the RNC should be legally dissolved and their leadership jailed.
Similarly I think most prior Republican voters should be disenfranchised.

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

“Why cant they find better candidates” I mean not excusing the Democrats here but my experience is that the personality profile of folks who want to be in charge of things largely maps to wildly toxic narcissism!

Only one of these 2 candidates had to win against an opposition supported by their own party. Only one is call themselves an “anti-Mamdani” democrat on their fucking campaign website.
i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

The CIA spook literally said Mamdani “doesnt belong in her party” like 3 days ago so maybe get your people on fucking message if you wanna be in coalition. He had to run against another Democrat after winning the primary for fucks sake!!
Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.
The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

See, the trick is that "the GM exists for the players' amusement, whose job is to ruin their plans for fun" and "the GM rules like a king, and the players exist to be their playthings" is that these SEEM like opposite maladaptive approaches to play, but they both result in the GM doing all the work.

This feels like the natural evolution of a ton of social issue arguments from Christian Nationalists that boil down to “the existence of non-Christians violates my religious freedom”
Exxon says it can't reveal how much pollution it makes because doing so would force it to “serve as a mouthpiece for ideas with which it disagrees.”
Which is just the "homework is against my religion" excuse, if the student saying it killed 8 million people a year.

Im actually frustrated at the replies to this in that theres people joking about broken it is in ways that miss how this reflects the nature of LLMs not doing what people say they do. Its not “making a game,” even a bad one, its making a series of images vaguely reflecting what a game looks like.
