So this year I decided to keep a media journal of all the video games I've played. And as is custom from the Internet, I have decided to rank them. So, here they are:

I will also add that these are games that I have finished (or at least games I was done playing). I am currently still mid playing the games Penny Larceny, Justice Sucks, Baladins, and Tavern Talk (and let's not even talk about the games I've bought this year, but haven't gotten around to playing yet).

something about the tiktok ban that i haven't really seen people here talking about is the experience of tiktok users not from the usa, which was, as far as i can tell, on the whole, very positive. it was actually really nice to, for a short period of time, be on a major social media network and able to interact with people across the world without usamericans constantly inserting themselves into every conversation.

usamericans kind of take over people's fyp regardless of where you're from. this is partly to do with the fact that the creators fund is only available to usamericans so most of the shitty content farms are from the us. then there's also the cultural aspect of the fact that being a citizen of the most powerful empire in the world is a significant privilege, and also a privilege that 99% of usamericans are seemingly unable to acknowledge, plus the us centrism and exceptionalism, plus the constant need to cast themselves as the underdog, and, well. it's annoying.

so, like. everything of what i've seen (which is not to say that other opinions don't exist, just that i haven't seen them) is that it was really nice when the usamericans were gone, and it kind of sucks that they're back.

Don't make a mistake, I'm pissed at people who voted (for Trump) more than those who didn't vote. But buddy, pal, comrade. How did that work out for you and everyone else, huh?

A edit i made of Red Wine Drunk Randy. I legit spent so much time on the internet trying to see if I can find a edit for a meme i was gonna make and I couldn't. so I was like.... Let me make my own. Tbh the edit isn't the best, I made this on procreate since my janky computer cant handle photoshop. It isn't perfect but I’ve never edited official stuff before. :))

Reading the episode recaps on the official due south site and they are all pretty hysterical, but S2E1 North is something else:

Fraser's headwound has escalated into a serious concussion -- resulting in a high fever, dehydration, and an odd compulsion to call his partner "Steve."

They specifically mention Steve even though it happens 1.5 times and is never addressed in the actual show. It's like they wanted it to be fic fodder for Fraser's identity exploration.

As usual in these situations, the ghosts of Ray and Fraser's dead fathers appear

As usual, nothing to see here.

Each advises his son to save himself and ditch his partner for their own good. But then what are fathers for?

WHAT ARE FATHERS FOR?

leaves their convict fixtured permanently in the permafrost

That's one way to put 'crushed by a giant rock'. Also is there permafrost so far below the tree line? I have no idea

The Charade of American Democracy: Exposing the Oligarchy

Is America truly a democracy, or is it a charade to pacify the masses? In this fiery speech, we dive deep into the reality behind America's political system, revealing how it is dominated by the wealthy elite. From the historical exclusion of the majority from the voting process to the modern-day influence of billionaires and corporations, we uncover the truth about American governance. Explore how the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision has opened the floodgates for corporate money, turning elections into auctions and politicians into puppets. This is the untold story of an oligarchy masquerading as a democracy.

the fact that the us government can continue funding and arming a genocide despite massive public opposition really highlights how inherently non-democratic the united states is

Being from the global south doesn't give you a pass on stupid fucking takes actually. I can sympathize with your position, which I will never understand, and still point out you're a fucking moron if you believe that America's foreign policy could not possibly get worse. I know a lot of you who say this shit think that asking you to care about the lives of people in the US is too much, so I will at least ask you to consider what might happen under a fascist strongman who picked a neoreactionary as his VP with even more political backing than the first time he was elected.

The og colonisers doing what they do best kill people that don’t agree with them. Mind you the houthis have not murdered anyone since they stopped ships from going through the Red Sea but America cares more about the money they have to make and lose than human life (Palestinians and Yemenis)

[pocketsizedquasar-3]

a lot of the way some people talk about like. supporting the “axis of resistance” or whatever makes it very clear that they do not consider any of the people who live in any of those countries people, and only consider the countries in question as abstract political pawns either in support or opposition of a goal

weird ass tags to put on a post about how a 'liberal asian democracy' is trying to prevent their far right president from enacting martial law to prevent himself from getting impeached…
