That's my bad I forgot who he was until I checked out this post and...yeah that sounds super bizarre that he would post that

Damn that part about having a moment of silence for when each plane hit the towers is...pretty ridiculous. I also don't think we ever really had a moment of silence for it in school as I remember it, and I graduated in 2006. So I too would roll my eyes all the fuck back in my head if I were you.

In terms of your bias due to profiling stuff, do you think it's kind of a reactionary response after so much of that? Being like "fuck you, you are using this as an excuse to be a piece of shit, so I don't care anymore"? I know someone else whose biracial and he was profiles like that and he suuuper doesn't find it funny. Obviously everyone has different ways that they process that shit but just curious for curiosity's sake. Also to be clear when I say reactionary I don't mean that in a disparaging way, it would be super understandable

Totally. Its disgusting that it's been used as a reason to continue invading other countries and just decimating them. I think it's just the way that some jokes are delivered are more general and that makes it feel weird.

Thanks for that. I think I have very similar sentiments about it all but yeah just how extreme the lulz go makes me feel uncomfy but I get it. It's not like I've never said "happy 9/11 day" lol

Hope I don't get banned for this, but like can someone explain to me exactly why this shit is funny and there's no nuance around it? Like, you can mourn the Muslim lives lost due to American Imperialism AND mourn the lives of the people who had fuck all to do with any of that? Like the janitors in the building for example? Like I get it fuck the state but for it to be something people post about and laugh at all day long is hard for me to grock. What if it was your family that died?

I'm not trying to argue anything or get in a struggle session around it but like, I'm just surprised that I haven't really seen any kind of pushback or critique around making that big of a joke of this.

reposting my rant because it ended up as a reply to someone else and man that was embarrassing. Yikes:

rant: I've been a part of underground music scenes for a long time and I fucking hate how a lot of white punks are supposed to be so radical/political but don't have shit to say when it comes to issues of racial oppression. I moved to Oregon and it is WHITE WHITE. I never really trusted the scene royalty here, and always complained to my partner about how they seem like they suck and he just confirmed that for me. They talk about "cancel culture" and I guess one goes on drunken ramblings about "wokeism". Like my guy, you know that is a code word for black folk and "race traitors", right? It's so gross I can't stand it. I feel like it's so much worse up here

oops somehow I ended up commenting something totally unrelated to you so if you saw that, my bad! BUT I did want to comment n say I'm sorry that you're struggling, school isn't easy even when you are relatively stable. There's not a lot of room in this society for folks who struggle mentally to be able to succeed, but that isn't your fault. I hope you get through it!

Yes Baldur's Gate looks sick! Now I'm considering just downloading the games with more intense graphics on my partners' ps5 lol. I now have like 15 games on my wishlist

[–] ratboy@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That I'm not sure of unfortunately, I haven't pirated any games in years and it was all SNES titles

[–] ratboy@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I mean my laptop is super old and refurbished so it would probably do just fine for you. If anything you could pirate it and if it doesn't run well it doesn't run n you didn't lose anything

[–] ratboy@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

YES! I GOT THIS! lets-fucking-go

[–] ratboy@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The Bird's eye view of some parts remind me of Hotline Miami lol. Added to wishlist! My laptop can handle For the King and Cult of the Lamb fine so hopefully I'll be fine
