police departments love to be like "we need more money to fight all the crime that's been happening lately" and they show a graph with crime going up at then you look into the numbers and it's like "the ten percent increase in crime was correlated with a ten percent increase in active policing hours" and it's like oh okay so the crime factory needs more money because the crime factory stayed open late to manufacture more crime in order to convince us to give more money to the crime factory. Where can I get off this carousel of misery?

Crime's been on the decrease steadily since like, 1975, but the cops still need $530 trillion dollars for six new tanks and a helicopter in case the Queer Pride/Anarchist Craft Fair gets a little too rowdy next week.

it is very funny that with their reflexive unthinking pearl-clutching at the sight of a single pentagram US evangelicals have led people to believe that all kinds of art that is fundamentally extremely christian--fully and uncritically validating of a christian worldview and cosmology--is actually subversive and edgy

by the by fuck the usa mens fútbol team, any player with any kind of integrity or sportsmanship should straight up walk off the pitch when their country is actively sabotaging other teams with insane fucking racist treatment or at the absolute least speak up about it loudly and constantly

"anti-war" is a nearly useless phrase for media criticism because it casts a wide trawler's net to group together works with entirely different aims, positions, and effects. is it "anti-war", in that it shows the consequences of violent invasions upon the peoples who are the victims of those invasions, is it anti-aggression, anti-empire? is it "anti-war" because it simply honestly depicts war, whatever the slant, as composed of its actual constituent substrate of human beings inflicting injuries on one another? or is it "anti-war" simply in that it laments how terribly difficult it is for those prosecuting these invasions that they get shot at by and feel bad about killing the people whom they are invading--which might be better termed anti-them-fighting-back? these are three very different things!

I don't need to humanize GlaDOS to think she's sexy I will simply rub my wet pussy on her chassis you can't stop me

GLaDOS carried an entire tech startup on her back and then got omelas'd into maintaining it forever. as is the fate of all trans women in the tech industry

[demilypyro]

In Portal 2, GLaDOS is violently taken from her rightful body and forced to inhabit one that is more humble, more utilitarian, one that does not let her express the full breadth of her self. To claim the body she deserves she has to team up with her fellow woman and work together to remove a man from power

Could you offer some tips for D&D?

There is a trick to each dice roll. To get high numbers, try these:

d4: Drop the die from a height of at least 4, this will guarantee you get 4.

d6: The cubic or "Caesar's Dice" can be made to roll a 6 by blowing on them as they fall. Do not try with 3d6 or you will get 666 and Satan will result.

d10: This shape is not physically possible, and works only with the placebo effect to make players think they have rolled it, thus you can make up any number and people will accept it.

d12: Anoint the die with Oil of Abramelin and seek guidance from the holy guardian angel of dice to guide them to roll the numbers you wish. Roll what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law, 12 is the law, 12 under Thac0.

d20: Bribe the dice with payments of gold, silver, electrum, or ivory. Photograph yourself doing so, then blackmail them if they refuse. This also works on most politicians in the d20.

d100: This is a ball. Why are you rolling a ball for D&D? That's absurd, balls are for sports people.

dℵ₀: Do not roll infinite dice, this will annoy the DM.

My basic thing is "If your definition of capitalism could also describe the economy of ancient Sumeria, then it's not a good definition"

[evilsoup]

i once had someone argue to my face that because the word "capital" is derived from a word meaning "head of cattle", capitalism started when people started herding cows

[theinstagrahame]

The greatest trick of capitalism is convincing people that it's just commerce.

girl I know took me to a local squatter hangout today, where a lot of local activism organises from. an old movie theater. thing is, I already knew the building like the back of my hand. i used to go there all the time as a kid. it was one of my standard places to go after school. it closed some time around covid and never reopened. it was strange, seeing it in this new state after so many years. every wall was covered in political graffiti. the city cut the building's power so most of the lights were off, though some had been connected to a generator. instead of selling tickets and popcorn, the lobby was being used to hand out food and old clothes. one of the screening rooms had been turned into a dance hall. another had random artworks and furniture laying around.

.... I loved every second I spent there. I hate stagnancy. I love that it changed so much. I love that they saw this old building, this thing I used to love as a child, and turned it into something good, that I can love now. I love that there are so many people who care so deeply about these causes, so close by, in my own city.
