So Aprrently people like my content enough that they want an alternative way to stay in touch with me when i get banned again so here is my d iscord. I dont know if its user or display name so have both ĺä¸ćŻĺ zi_not_zee_4955
if usamerican soldiers are evil due to advancing america as an imperialist state, how are sex workers or other workers in industries people are trafficked into different when it comes to helping a horrible thing develop like that? why are marxist feminists inclusive of sex workers but not veterans and soldiers?
There are two ways of interpreting your ask here.
One is that we should see the volunteer soldiers of the imperialist US military as akin to victims of human trafficking. This is ridiculous. US soldiers absolutely know what they are getting into, even if they may change their minds later down the line. The conditions of military service are laid out ahead of time, US soldiers are more than able to communicate with the outside world and most soldiers already know one or more people in the military to begin with and are capable of talking to them and learning what military service is like. Does the military make it seem as if military service is more glamorous or fulfilling than it actually is? Certainly. But the same goes for job recruiters in any industry. Human trafficking is not merely any instance in which your employer lied to you about the job.
Additionally, this comparison to sex trafficking is all the more outrageous considering the infamous number of rapes, assaults, and murders committed by US armed forces in and around foreign military bases (all of these sources are sympathetic to the US, which only goes to show how pervasive the issue is for pro-US sources to call it out):
Women and the U.S. Military in East Asia, Foreign Policy In Focus, March 1, 1999
From Guardian Angels to Pests to Korean: The United States Forces and Their Criminal Acts in Korean Society, Advances in Applied Sociology, April 2016
Okinawan rights ignored as military crimes persist, East Asia Forum, August 20, 2025
The other interpretation is to assert that victims of human trafficking are just as complicit in the effects of human trafficking on communities as imperialist volunteer soldiers are in the effects of war. This interpretation is nothing more than the worst kind of victim blaming. Human trafficking victims are not volunteers. US soldiers are not so downtrodden that joining the military is the only choice they have. US soldiers are in fact responsible for the very same poverty in periphery nations that leads to widespread human trafficking in the first place, most infamously in recent memory in Libya where open-air slave markets have emerged following the US-backed coup against Gaddafi and extensive US military intervention.
this ask is so wild even if you flip it entirely it's still absurd. if sex workers all chose to do it and all US soldiers were forced into it, one group is still murdering people and the other is... having sex??? what??? what? di you think sex workers are hurting their clients, or that ppl say the military is bad because they hurt each other or something? what???

When I arrive at the age regression convention but I forgot its run by tumblr people so everyone is watching Steven universe and eating mac and cheese with not a single carnita or mention of El Chavo in sight:
wow i have my own call out post now awesome. its because i said 'stop making call out posts' btw.
op of the post is courting terfs and radfems btw, lots of red on that blog. almost like your ideology is hateful or something and im right. weird.
I was just reading the ask about modifying eureka to have a masquerade and it got me thinking, does the team have any license or interest in licensing for expansions? I tend to think the OGL ended up being kind of a disaster, but I think it would be cool to be able to be able to a) be able to add extra options for settings/groups/etc and b) support y'all with it and c) be able to see a metaphorical stamp of approval that this splat doesn't fuck up the base game
Legally, we own a copyright for Eureka but practically speaking we donât have an army of lawyers to enforce that and donât love most copyright laws even if we did. The most serious thing is that like, we ask that nobody thatâs not us host any official A.N.I.M. product for download anywhere. (Thereâs no point in pirating it, you can get it for free on itchio.)
We do allow people to make their own Eureka stuff, and in fact we especially encourage it when it comes to adventure modules. More adventure modules is something Eureka will always need. We even have a semi-formal approval process where we read, consult, and edit on peopleâs Eureka stuff to make sure it is up to our standard and if it is we will even link to it on our itchio page and in the rulebook itself. We donât get any profits from this, you keep any money you make, but it still benefits us because having more adventure modules increases the overall playability of Eureka and it lets us play our own game.
(We are actually running a mystery module jam right now.)
This is a lot of extra work for no direct pay though, and that is part of why Trait supplements and stuff like that get much lower priority than adventure modules. I am personally much, much more anal about what is allowed in terms of Traits and stuff. (And I donât think Eureka even needs any more Traits, a bunch of the existing official Traits have barely even been used.) If anyone wants to do any extra Eureka thing, I urge it to be an adventure module. There is a very comprehensive guide on how to make a good Eureka adventure module in Chapter 5 of the rulebook.
If anyone was interested in doing a, like, alternative setting, like one where there is a VtM-esque âmasquerade,â or one where there is still no âmasqueradeâ but monsters are relatively known to science, then actually I recommend that this be part of an adventure module too. Because well, like, there is little point in an alternative setting if there is nothing setting-specific for the PCs to do in this setting.
Such a supplement would introduce itself, explain the differences in setting and subsequently game rules, explain how this would likely affect the types of characters or types of behaviors and attitudes they would have, etc., and then it would give you the adventure module taking place in that alternative setting below that.
If we donât like your Eureka project, we wonât sue you, weâll just not acknowledge or promote/approve it. Granted, making Eureka supplements or whatever that go against the design principles, themes, intentions, etc. of Eureka will personally probably really upset me, but itâs not illegal.
The Trump administration is spending more than $100 million to fight the "emergency" of "white genocide" in South Africa.
Every single one of the 599 refugees the US admitted last month was a white South African, according to data the State Departmentâs Bureau of Population released Friday.
In fact, so was every other refugee admitted this year. Since October 1, 2025, the US has accepted 6,668 refugees. Of those, 6,665 were white South Africans. Threeâadmitted last Novemberâwere from Afghanistan. No other refugees were admitted.
literally nothing and i genuinely mean absolutely nothing in this world quite encompasses corporate detachment from the consumer quite like peggle_2_ode_to_joy.gif
upon its release to the xbox live arcade in 2009, peggle was THE top selling game for two solid weeks. within a month, more than 100,000 players were on the leaderboards. before it got to live arcade, it had been downloaded 50 million times.
and when it released for ios? holy fuck were they DROWNING in money. when they took a weekend to put the game on sale for a dollar, down from five, a couple months after release, they made as much in that one weekend as they did since its release. it was among the top paid apps for weeks.
with critics, peggle was among some of the top downloadable, mobile, and general best games of all time at the time of its release in 2007 and onwards, and it only shot up in popularity as they made it more accessible to more people. and this was in a time before candy crush.
the thing about simple addictive puzzle games is that they make you feel competent, confident, smart, and cool for being good at them. not everybody can learn how to aim in a shooter or the best strategy in an rpg. but anybodys grandmother or baby brother can play a simple puzzle game, and the nature of these games and the way they make you feel only makes you want to play more and more.
however very very fucking few people who play simple puzzle games that you can master on the toilet would be going to E3 in the early 2010s. remember in 2012 when every ~hardcore gamer~ would screech about âfake gamersâ who only play candy crush? thats what peggle was. it was THE crack mobile game from the pre-candycrush era.
no one who was excited about peggle was going to E3. the hundreds of thousands of people who played peggle were not the type of people who would consider going to (or even giving a shit about) E3.
but it sold like hot cakes, and candy crush was churning out content like a madman, and EA owned popcap now, so because the game sold amazingly, and because they wanted to keep cashing in on it, and because corporate drones who controlled the scripts didnt comprehend that their consumerbase isnt one homogeneous mass, they decided to announce peggle 2 at E3 2013.
but not just âoh by the way peggle 2â, no. peggle sold like skyrim, it sold like black ops, clearly they should be saving the best for last, they should announce it like it was the craziest most incredible announcement of the night!
thus:
but in all honesty it doesnt quite have the same impact without hearing ode to joy overtop of the deafening silence of the crowd. so heres a link too. timeless.
it would be so awesome
it would be so cool
Of course no heuristic is universally true, but I think if you're an american who considers themselves "progressive" this is a rule of thumb you should probably be considering more often: If the conversation you're currently participating in is only able to happen because someone is going out of their way to speak *your* language, that's probably not the person who's most in need of informing themselves about the other's country in this conversation.
It's just such a common pattern, how when you disagree with an american about something like e.g. the idea that it's unfair to hate members of the US military, the american will always walk into the conversation with the unshakable assumption that the only reason why you could possibly disagree with them is because *you* are not informed enough about *their* country, that you obviously are not aware of how bad veterans have it once they return home, or of the conditions of poverty and systemic inequality that might drive someone to see the military as their only chance for upward mobility, or of how aggressively military recruiters campaign, or how much propaganda they make, or how they take advantage of systemic inequality to recruit from disadvantaged populations, or a million other things which they will inherently assume you lack an understanding of and proceed to condescendingly explain to you.
All the while they refuse to entertain even for one second the possibility that it might be *them* who has something to learn about *your* country, that they might not be informed enough about the violence and terror the US military enacted upon your people, that *they* might lack some awareness or understanding of the cruelty and suffering that those poor, propagandized, systemically disenfranchised kids lied to by recruiters gladly participated in enacting which might drive even people who are fully aware of their conditions to still harbor resentment towards them. The possibility that the other person might have a better understanding of the conditions in their country than viceversa and still disagree with them will never even cross their mind.
