The new lady gaga song ā€œabracadabraā€ is so many genres in one I’m going to have a stroke
Big room
and
Psytrance
AND
Acid
what the hell???
The instrumental version is fucking sick though

I’m probably not going to play this as a game, but I super dig the artstyle of the new Marathon. Watch the trailer muted if you have to, but the flat textures with bright colors is a style I have been digging for years. Add in some of the biomorphic designs like the part with the caterpillars and this is just sick.

Not playing much because I don’t find the time for it at the moment, and rarely shooters, but that cinematic really is a work of art! If the first part was a trailer for a TV series or a movie I would def watch it…

Politics = circle jerk…

How wierd is it that both haters and sycophants were so quick to judgement by gossiping about the nature of trumps asshole…

When they dont even personally know trump.

Bro.

When in doubt a shitpost isnt worth it.

Shitposting is like diarrhea it leaves a disgusting mess.

And everyone statistically has had diarrhea…

Man, whenever I poke my head out of the gutter and see what the social media climate is like (you know, hoping maybe it’s not full of hatred and spite; as in, maybe people have learned that it’s not a whole lot of fun to act that way), I finally understand the meaning of bfk’s posts.

Being called a retard (in their own dog-whistle lingo) by a bunch of SJWs all because I posted a track by a band they didn’t like is enough to make me miss the 2009-era IDMf. Somebody call me a cunt; at least it wasn’t cloaked under some pretend hippie bullshit. It was right out in the open :laughing:

Imagine kanye wests twitter x10 but written as a 4chan thesis statement for a phd from harvard mixed with propaganda fanfiction…

And youll have an idea of some of the crap ive read…

Its not traumatizing…but its like after reading that stuff youll need a mental reset…

Also my philosophical response to all that stuff is summed up by the sentence…

ā€œFuck off and go practice hugs sunshine and rainbowsā€

Is it all written in a, ā€œI am morally superior to you, misterā€ tone?

This type of shit just reminds me of the garden variety / bumper sticker Christians who claim to want to spread compassion, but end up just shitting on everyone who doesn’t share their exact point of view. They can turn a kind gesture or even a potential friendship into something to fume and get offended over.

Obviously, I mean no disrespect to Christians – even most of them are better than that. I’m just talking about the ones who can’t see their own hypocrisy spewing out of them at all times as they steamroll the fuck over everyone else. I guess it’s just part of the weird divide going on right now, but it’s definitely gotten out of control.

Its crap because its not about changing stuff for the better…its just people flexing their egos while intellectually stroking themselves.

Yeah, that’s been my biggest issue with social media from the beginning. Even before the recent splintering (2016-present), there just wasn’t anything all that captivating about it, at least for me. It just seemed like 'evening news: 2.0", but my memory is really hazy from that period for other reasons. Maybe it was cooler than I remember, but I have no idea.

Reddit might be the only site that seemed to change the format because you could shut out all of the horseshit and just focus on people working on projects and asking really good questions, but it seems like the political rot (if that’s not a term, I’m coining it) is seeping through all of the cracks.

Forums are still pretty decent most of the time, but everyone’s abandoning them :eyes:

Some other stuff ive read has an implied social darwinian overtone but the terms equality, equity, cisgender, systemic oppression,…are mixed in with this kind of ideology…

Its supposedly for equal rights…but i get a vibe from such stuff that somethings off…

Because from some of the stuff ive seen…it calls for fighting against a system that ensures a free secular society for all…

That is from the extreme left…

The extreme right…tells the extreme left to go fuck themselves…and are completely apathetic to equal rights issues.

There is a practical middle ground…but everyone has to come to an agreement on what works for mostly everyone.

But this doesnt occur because of the human need for power and influence over others.

Also elites aka the new aristocratic class born out of unchecked political crony capitalism…has kind of corrupted equal rights by using causes to enact a spoils system and for personal political gain.

Instead of equally distributing an apple pie…the elites take their 85 percent portion…while the common folk fight over the 15 percent portion…

Im not a socialist…but the playing field does need to be reset so that people can achieve socio economic mobility…and have more opportunity.

But additionally people have to stop making excuses for themselves and prioritize. They gotta put in the work so that they can reach their goals.

Tldr social darwinism is present in both left and right political alignments…its not the problem, it is a symptom of the problem of human nature within the context of human society…and this was philosophically discussed in europe from 1500 to 1850…so…

Blah blah blah sparknotes and tangents that belong in the philosophy thread.

Social issue political activism…

Seems like people who never adequately adjusted to high school or even life after high school.

Also with consumerism and commercialism replacing shared values and broken homes were parents arent parenting in addition to teachers that dont teach…in a vacuum better sense ethically speaking may or may not prevail, its a 50/50 shot.
