I'm trying to figure out how that ended up upside-down like that without completely pancaking or catastrophically splitting the hull. The only thing that I can come up with is that it was really low, almost to the point of touching down, rolled in the air (and snapped off a wing in the process) and then finished out the landing on its top. Maybe caught a hard crosswind during the landing?

If you like men, in any capacity, even if they're fictional men, then you're quite probably bisexual but in denial. Which is alright (the bi part, not the denial part). But lesbians and gays do have an established habit of trying to erase bisexuals for various reasons, so asking a sub full of Reddit lesbians--and it's coin toss whether those are even women to begin with--isn't really a good way to figure out what's up with your sexuality.

For those who aren't Canadian, a quick explanation of the parties listed in the poll, to explain why the various demographics are aligned with them. Note that the political and social alignment is according to Canadian standards, not American or elsewhere.

LPC: Liberal Party of Canada. Center/Center-left political and social alignment.

CPC: Conservative Party of Canada. Center/Center-right political and social alignment.

NDP: New Democratic Party. Center-left political and social alignment, but generally moreso than the LPC to the extent of being regarded as left-wing.

GP: Green Party. The climate- and environment-focused party in Canadian politics. No noted alignment that I could find in my brief search, but probably runs to the left based on the mentions of social justice and diversity as party platforms in the wiki entry.

PPC: People's Party of Canada. Basically the counter to the NDP, regarded as right to right-wing in political and social alignment.

BQ: Bloc Québécois. Quebec nationalist party, and pretty much all over the place in terms of political and social alignment as a result, because they will always (as far as I can see) support the position that provides the greatest benefit to Quebec.

The article itself claims that Corinne Busche led the charge personally to have the lambasted DEI elements added to Veilguard. And it's not the first time that I've heard or read that claim either. So that was very much the devs, as her position of game director put her in overall charge of the team making it.

That said, however, we don't even know if there is a fourth BG happening. If it does, and it does contain the same sort of heavy-handed inclusion that DA did, we'll have a pretty good idea of who is responsible.

Well, giving him the benefit of the doubt, he had every reason to worry about the consequences if he spoke up when it looked like the Democrats were unassailable and speaking out would have only gotten him unpersoned and rendered untouchable (in the sense that he's poison to associate with, politically and/or professionally).

Now that the party is seemingly imploding into irrelevance, navel-gazing, and purity spirals (as seen by their current/recent gender representation arguments), he might finally have reached a point where he either feels safe speaking up--because the people who would retaliate against him are unable to do so for whatever reason--or he just has no more fucks left to give about any of it.

And David Hogg is such an utter tool. The anti-gun lobby propped him up as one of their designated shills after a tragedy, and he's apparently decided that he likes the exposure that comes with having their hand up his ass to make his lips move.

Treating this as seriously for just a moment, what happens if the condom breaks? Or if the woman intentionally sabotages it? Both of these things have been known to occur.

She killed three of her kids and the fourth is one foot in the grave? No, she is the monster this tragedy makes her out to be. And she absolutely deserves to be remembered for that too. Furthermore, if her kids truly were the main focus as claimed, she would have left them alive and just checked herself out. (I'm also cynic enough to wonder if this was meant to hurt the guys.)

To be fair though, coal-fired plants aren't even remotely the best option for any kind of clean-running power generation. Acid rain is a thing, and it's due almost entirely to coal residue in the air.

And London had so much air pollution from coal residue that it actually covered the city in a thick fog during the early '50s after a combination of otherwise-inconsequential weather conditions all occurred at just about the same time. A pretty significant number of deaths and respiratory illnesses were attributed to that fog.

That mod post talking about how inclusive games obviously sell more than non-inclusive games is so utterly out of touch with reality, it's almost enough to cause physical pain reading it.

It completely ignores the fact that, of the three games mentioned, Elden Ring was released by the overlords at FromSoft, who quite literally made the entire Souls-like genre and it would have had to have been asset-ripped, gacha-infested mobile shovelware to actually fail; Baldur's Gate 3 is the newest entry in a series that's practically worshipped by CRPG AND D&D aficionados alike and while the devs are may not be on FromSoft's level, they're not a bunch of scrubs either; and that Lords of the Fallen just wasn't very good to begin with in terms of gameplay.

The post also doesn't mention a far more relevant pair of examples, the latest Dragon Age release and the very recent Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. The former is oh-so-inclusive and never made it to 90k peak players (and took three days after launch to get that far) while the latter is blatantly non-inclusive (AFAIK) and hit nearly 160k peak within hours of launch and hit 256k only 13 hours ago.

It's not just the lack of live service garbage that made KC: D2 successful though. Going by the first game (which I have and thoroughly enjoy), the devs put a LOT of work into the game's background. They made it as historically, culturally, and socially accurate to the time period depicted as the material available to them allowed. The game is incredibly detailed, and within the limits of the medium used (they needed to step outside of reality for the save system, to name one major example), probably about as close as anyone will ever get to experiencing that time for themselves. And it's obvious that they put that same level of care into the sequel.

At the same time, they resisted the push to include forced (and entirely false) diversity in the game. The first game was notable for the guy in charge bluntly telling the wokies to more or less get fucked, that he wasn't hearing their convoluted bullshit reasons for how black people could totally be in that part of the world at that period in history, and therefore WH had a duty to include those hypothetical black people in their game. The game was an ode to very specific part of European history, that society and culture, those people, and WH clearly kept to that intent with this release.

Well of course that money never reached regular people who actually needed it. It was never meant for them to begin with. It was bribes meant for the people in charge, plain and simple. If that money ever went any further than that, it was probably in the form of a "we need to look good for the cameras and prove we're not graft-happy liars" action meant to quiet dissent and accusations of being, in all fact, graft-happy liars.

Eh, if we were really going to lay claim to any part of the Middle East for some inexplicable reason--well, a part that didn't have oil in it--then we should have just kept Afghanistan, after all of the blood and treasure we spent 20-odd years dumping into it.

Okay, but having Australia as a state would be kind of cool. Who wouldn't enjoy having Mad Max Florida, with it's spiders, emus, and drop bears, as part of our nation?

Well, there'll one important difference. Those were clearly insurrectionists trying to enact an insurrection against the legitimate government. This would be freedom fighters trying to protect democracy and freedom in the name of the legitimate government. Absolutely not the same things at all.

Mark My Words: Grand Theft Auto VI is gonna be woke as fuck, debut at $100 for a limited time, get mass backlash, and be a financial failure (relative to their budget) as the straw that broke the camel's back. by Mcheetah in whatever

The only parts of this that you're wrong about is the sales figures and the multiplayer. People are going to be throwing money at it, no matter how utterly dogshit the game is overall or how busted it is on launch. Likewise, the multiplayer is going to be packed (and there'll be modders and cheaters poking lobbies within 6 months) and Rockstar will be maximizing their MTX all the way through.

And all of that is because people are brainless sheep, conditioned to consoom the product offered to them, no matter how bad it smells or tastes. They've been told for years that GTA 6 will be the best GTA ever, that they'll be nothing if they don't buy it immediately, and they believe that. Further, those true believers will white knight like their worthless lives depend on it for the integrity of the game and Rockstar, and opposition will have virtually no traction against that lot of no-lifers.

Democrats are busy creating convoluted rules about how many genders are allowed to be on their DNC officer ballots instead of trying to figure out how they lost the popular vote. by Q-Continuum-kin in TumblrInAction

[–]LordoftheFlies 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

It started as nothing but a way to wrangle votes. They played up the perception that Republicans are nothing but rural (and uneducated), white, Christian male bigots (oh, and brainwashed handmaiden women and race-traitor minority lackeys), and that anyone who doesn't fall into that bracket--or doesn't want the stigma of being labeled with it if they otherwise would fit--needs to vote for them. But they needed to give their useful idiots something by way of a carrot.

They could point to Obama winning his two elections and use that with the minorities (see, we care about you when Republicans don't), and could point to Clinton almost winning her bid for the empowered, independent feminists (she would have totally won if Trump hadn't stolen her win), but they needed something for the sex and gender nonconformists that they were reaching out to.

They seem to have not realized that the really loud ones among that last category are more or less a bunch of textbook dark triad types, who wouldn't settle for an inch when a mile was in reach. And so the Democrats are kind of stuck in the position of having the tail wagging the rest of the dog, so to speak. They can't really cut them loose, not without seriously poisoning their image among their voting base, and so there they are; arguing who gets what according to the value of their respective slots in the genderwoo hierarchy while Trump is out doing shit.

I want to do a study on Disney home media propagation and how it aligns with fury identification.

It's not just Disney you'd look at, WB had their own share with stuff like Lola Bunny, or when Tiny Toons was airing, the female characters there dressing out to the nines in some segments and definitely showing curves that they normally didn't have.

Furries can deny it all they want, but there's a baked-in sexual element to the whole thing that's so overt even normies can recognize it at a glance. But they used to keep at least a little bit on the downlow, until they managed to get tugboated into something of a protected status by hanging on to the trannies and "my identity is valid" types as the latter crawled up out their own dank holes.

So they've been a lot more comfortable and open about showing their perversion in the last decade or so.

That Hogwarts legacy game was targeted by them and still a bestseller iirc.

Hogwarts Legacy's release was actually funny. The TRAs tried to boycott it and made all kinds of demands (especially towards game streamers), only to have the attempt complete blow up in their faces with people openly buying and playing it just to spite them.

She simply didn't give a fuck, that's how.

She's got a level of income from her work that can best be measured in "fuck you" amounts. And none of the companies paying her that money are going to slit their own throats (financially speaking) to drop her just because a bunch of mentally ill and/or degenerate attention seekers (and their flying monkey allies) scream and cry over her persistent refusal to comply with their demands and validate their bullshit.

Deeming certain conduct of members of Antifa as domestic terrorism and designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. by [deleted] in news

[–]LordoftheFlies 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

As soon as you ban it, it gains the cachet of being "forbidden," and the demographic that Antifa prefers for recruiting (teens and young adults) absolutely loves the idea of being rebels. Even more so these days, when people constantly struggle to find something that they claim is oppression, and what could be worth more than genuine oppression?

"Loli is a body type, not age."

Someone obviously doesn't know their literature and the origin of the term "loli," which is a shortening of "Lolita," from the novel of the same name by Nabokov, which is about a grown man's obsession with an underage girl that he calls by that name.

Honestly, is it really possible that a high-school dropout like me, who's spent most of his life working nothing but mindless manual labor, is better educated than all of these social media numbnuts 20 or so years younger than him?

If so, that's a sad and worrisome thing.

You know what it's about, the people calling you out on it know what it's about, and absolutely no amount of shucking, jiving, or other verbal and mental shuffling will change that truth.
