Eh I do wonder about the Hindu nationalist stuff. There are a lot of prominent CEOs of Indian descent here in the US. Don’t know their stance on Hindu nationalism because there hasn’t been an event requiring them to take a stand, but at very least they lobbied hard against the California caste discrimination bill so that doesn’t bode well for their attitudes toward ethnic hierarchy. India hasn’t kicked off anything like the Gaza genocide yet but I wonder whether 10 years down the road something similar will happen and in the US we will be like “wow why are liberal institutions all suppressing protest against this” because Hindu nationalism was never questioned when selecting leadership for those institutions, in the same way zionism was never questioned for the past few decades. Unfortunately difficult (impossible?) to select for that without going down the road of discrimination against the entire ethnic pool since yeah, there is nothing requiring individual Indian people to take a stand and in the US there is not yet broad population literacy about the meaning of being a Hindu nationalist in the same way there is now some amount of literacy of what it means to be a zionist.

He fundamentally can’t do action set pieces. Nothing makes sense spatially. The opening Tenet opera house scene makes very little sense. Same with the sinking ship scene in Dunkirk.

Granted I have not read Berserk but also I don’t think that is Guts

Like China hasn’t explicitly had an industrial policy of intellectual property theft.

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA die mad about it bitch

I put like six of them on the cable and they don’t fully stop the muttering but they definitely attenuated it enough to be tolerable! Thank you for the suggestion.

[Am not Jewish] Eh I think it’s harder to be an anti-zionist Jew than than an anti-zionist non-Jew. I can openly talk about being against zionism around my family & friends and their reaction is almost exclusively “yeah I don’t like them, wish they would stop killing so many people”. Sure it is slightly easier to smear me as antisemitic in professional circles. But at the end of the day it does not affect familial ties. Whereas you can just look at a poll about attitudes about zionism among Jewish people broken down by generation or other axes and see that you’d have to be pretty fucking lucky to have all your friends and family be chill with your anti-zionism if you are Jewish.

Probably clinched it due to that turning points USA event a few days ago where he gave a speech saying like “christians should not justify killing children” not that I believe he believes that. Clearly setting up for 2028 in the “actually actually against war super srs this time” lane.

Avatar 3 was unbelievably fucking good, literally zero weak points, an absolute masterpiece top to bottom

eh as quoted it seems like he could be referring to either side. zionists all say their apartheid nuclear statelet is at risk of annihilation from the ten thousand kids they have to kill every year. I don’t think Cameron is saying that here. but the statement is not particularly clear.

Lutris seems to work. EGS specifically can be a bit of a pain though.

At this point it makes more sense to sort games by budget in the same way combat sports have weight classes. The indie category means little.

lmfao someone in there linked the Wikipedia article for “russian interference in the 2016 US election” as a trump card. there really are still some lev parnas deadenders who walk among us

free copy of Massage for Dummies in there

this guy isn’t as hot as luigi but like he deserves some flowers too. luigi fundamentally set the hotness bar too high. unfair to good honest salt of the earth gunmen who do well on the local dating scene but can’t break through to national level.

Disgusting foreigners rightfully being kept out by walls whose only desire is to kill and consume if you let them in

not giving a damn about the environment

The rest of them are just western brainworm ideology but this one is actually funny in how out of touch it is with reality

hopping on the david brooks hate train to report that he wrote this:

The 1990s brought astonishing hip-hop — Tupac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, the Fugees — and I got introduced to all of that like everybody else at the time. My hands were writing and editing conservative editorials for The Wall Street Journal; my ears were straight outta Compton.

This is just so ridiculous and self-contradictory on its face. I understand why people hate this guy so much. Generally emblematic of the intellectual laziness liberals get away with.

There’s a strong environmental case for Democrats taking America’s natural resource wealth seriously as an asset. Center-left parties in other major energy-producing countries do not position themselves as enemies of domestic production. They take the problems of climate change and other pollution issues seriously by investing in measures to reduce long-term domestic consumption of dirty energy and promote new technologies.

Oh interesting! And what dirty energy would that be? Ah, the liberals of “major energy-producing countries”, I wonder why he chose the word “energy” instead of “oil”. Is it because his entire braindead argument lives or dies on euphemism choice?

American oil production is less carbon-intensive than its competitors in Russia, Iran, Iraq and Venezuela. Supplying it to global markets is a win-win for the economy and the global environment.

This is a favorite weasel tactic from oilfuckers. Talk about how carbon-intensive oil is to produce (negligible) without talking about how much carbon is emitted when the actual produced oil is burned. The produced oil is the whole point! But here, they focus only on the actual production process itself. Pay no attention to the actual fucking thing being produced, the reason the fucking production is happening in the first place! I shit you not, initiatives to reduce the emissions associated with oil production are directly marketed as green technology in petrostates.

To be clear, in any reconciliation with the left, the oil and gas industry will have to do its part, too, and accept climate science.

The oil companies will see us, they will hear us, and so they will have been held accountable.

In this approach to making policy, one starts with an end goal — two degrees of warming; global net zero by 2050 — and asks whether some specific new project is consistent with that goal or not. […] This mentality explains why green groups continually find themselves opposing bipartisan congressional negotiations to enact permitting reform legislation that would make it easier to build both renewable and fossil fuel infrastructure. A world that was heading to global net zero in 25 years would not enact such a reform, so it’s unacceptable.

Instead of acknowledging physical reality, have you tried debating it instead?

Capitalism is entirely based on the idea that if you’re a worker you’re getting scammed. So a lot of people want to be the scammers instead.

gotta burn the candle at both ends to bring the latest shitty zionist brainchild to reality
