It's still tiresome dealing with tankies, leftists, and other morons. Reblogging from someone doesn't mean I endorse everything they've said. I shouldn't have to say that, but we live in the age of the idiot.

I feel like resident evil does a completely non-political version of the motte and bailey fallacy on a thematic level. this is by far at its worst in re9 but is found elsewhere in the series and in other media. death note is also one
it includes details that demand we take them seriously, that are only added so that we can take them seriously, and then it doesn't take itself seriously to the extent that if we DID take that seriously the fiction wouldn't work.
umbrella inc. is nonsensically evil, and the rhodes hill chronic care center is even more nonsensically evil than that. at least umbrella inc. was a very large company with secret facilities most employees didn't know about. rhodes hill is just the one place where every single person who works there is doing insanely evil shit to people with no remorse. how did he hire these people. what the fuck was his selection process. an even more pressing matter than "where are the toilets" is "how did nobody notice this when they visited their loved ones in hospice, as is a very very very common thing with people in hospice care"
and notes in this place go into great detail about the utterly horrific and violating things that rhodes hill did to the completely innocent and completely vulnerable people in their care. they clearly want you to take it seriously or else they would not have put it in there. they're performing brain surgery on people to change their personalities and make them monsters who are still aware of who they once were for, and I cannot stress this enough, literally no reason. you are supposed to be shocked and affected by this.
but if you were shocked and affected by this it would be so tragic you would not be able to play the game at all, much less spin-kick them and decapitate them with Leon's axe! taking the setup seriously and asking the question the game wants you to ask, "how could anyone be so evil as to do this?" results in the immediate and inevitable answer "they literally could not, this doesn't make any fucking sense and is not possible." it's a schlocky B-movie where things don't really have to make sense, why are you bothering with details, other than because we put them in for the purpose of you taking them seriously?
they want you to feel horrified by what Umbrella did to helpless children but also has them as all giggling red-eyed Spooky Zombie Killer Girls from a 2005 Newgrounds horror flash game. they want you to feel horrified by the industrial scale at which Gideon is processing bodies in the basement, they want you to take it seriously in terms of presenting how evil it is but not take it seriously in terms of "how the fuck does this make a lick of sense how does he have this many people from a medical center that is supposed to hold people for a long time."
also I will never be shocked or affected by finding out the company was evil and I will never be shocked or affected by finding out the company was actually really really evil and I will never be shocked or affected by finding out that the company was actually maximally evil. saying something is maximally evil is easy, it is so easy it is worth nothing. you have to do something that is not the easiest possible thing to impress me.
If I understand your complaint correctly, I think something similar happens in a lot of sci-fi movies with "cheap" spaceships (like Serenity or Millennium Falcon).
The set of a spaceship interior is built for set convenience and relatability and entertainment, and we accept an unrealistic layout as part of the suspension of disbelief because realistic spaceship sets would be annoying to produce and boring to watch in many ways, often in ways relating to gravity or air.
Then the show temporarily switches to treating the set as an exact representation with physical realism and a problem that has to be solved under the constraints of set placement, even though applying this standard elsewhere would result in the alleged spaceship vanishing in a puff of logic.
Speaking of Firefly and selectively taking its own setting seriously,
Wash: "Psychic? That sounds like something out of science fiction."
Zoe: "We live in a spaceship, dear."
The show takes place in the future 26th century. The setting has had spaceships for centuries by then. Imagine if Zoe's line was "We live in the New World, dear" today.
Can you give an example of the "suddenly taking the spaceship design totally seriously" thing?
Possibly a bit related: every single villain base in certain genres having a torture chamber full of pools of blood and gore and bodies that the villain just leaves lying around, and very rarely any other kind of horror.
A realistic interior of the Serenity, given its circumstances, would be something like: a small cramped habitation module, a cargo bay for the sort of cargo that can withstand extreme acceleration, a lot of fuel and engines. Access and maintenance to the latter would be by spacesuit.
The depicted interior has spacious, pressurized rooms everywhere, connected by large hallways, because that's what's easy to make on a set, and it means actors can walk around the ship and be seen by the audience with easy camera placement.
This makes no sense for a cheap vessel used by a man who can barely afford to keep flying and has the plot of taking odd jobs in desperation. He should be facing worse tradeoffs wrt living space and mass and so on.
At one point the gang is loading cows, who should die of broken bones and crushed organs during liftoff, unless Serenity has magic handwave rockets that can afford to lift slowly. And then they should die again of suffocation, unless Serenity has magic handwave amounts of spare oxygen, because each cow needs about as much oxygen as 5 humans. And then they should die again of the methane buildup -- you get the idea.
Shrug. It's a space western with space cowboys loading space cows on their space watership after the space civil war, it's a soft sci-fi setting that goes for aesthetics over realism. Oxygen is free. Cows go on ships. Gravity is a nonissue. Don't take it too seriously.
But we're asked to take the set very seriously in a later episode (Out of Gas) when there's a fire in the engine room, which quickly starts fireballing into adjacent rooms, and the crew responds by sealing off half the ship and venting everything connected to the engine room out the airlock. Now their engine isn't working, main power is out, most of the oxygen's gone and there's only a few man-hours left and the situation is desperate, both main and auxiliary life support are offline, so everyone but the captain abandons ship.
This episode's plot can only happen because of treating set design conveniences as the literal layout, such as:
having the anachronistic "engine room" in the first place,
giving the fire generous access to everyone else's oxygen,
making the emergency vent for the engine room go through the cargo bay,
having no spare parts aboard because spare parts are for real spaceships not studio sets,
not wearing a spacesuit because that would obscure the actor's face and make him harder to relate to,
forgetting that gravity isn't a default in space, if you experience gravity that suggests your engine is in fact on and thrusting
and generally ignoring the kind of things that set designers can casually ignore but spaceship builders and crew would have to confront.
("But they have artificial gravity!" fans may object. That creates new problems: either the gravity has absolute priority over the life support when it comes to limited backup power, which is retarded, or the gravity can work without power, which breaks the setting.)
You're right on the gravity (unless the ship is spinning it is not) but not necessarily the air and spacious rooms.
CO₂ scrubbers are real.
If they're using an absorbent-based capture scrubber, it would make plenty of sense to have the fire kill their scrubber supplies - or just generate enough CO₂, they don't have enough absorbent to solve the problem.
I don't think they are, though, not if they can scale up to transport cattle.
But there are other scrubbers - nuclear submarines IRL can stay submerged effectively indefinitely, their scrubbers work so long as there's nuclear power. If a fire kills their power, it'll kill their scrubbers in the exact same moment it generates a bunch of CO₂ (and CO) that they have to deal with.
In the same direction: Spacious room is precious in IRL space because you're optimizing for ΔV, and IRL military vehicles because nobody is optimizing for luxuries. IRL regular ships are kind of cramped but you can have large rooms. If you accept the sci fi engines, you can definitely launch a larger hab module.
They're taking liberties, sure, but it's not nearly so paradoxically handwaved-yet-important as Brazen's RE example.
And we know Mal bought the ship based on vibes, not practicality.
>having no spare parts aboard because spare parts are for real spaceships not studio sets,
Hang on. I distinctly recall that Kaylee had bought up the damaged part several times before that episode, and Mal kept pushing it down the priority list.
>making the emergency vent for the engine room go through the cargo bay,
Which is the largest exterior access on the ship, yes. Cargo bays generally have nothing but cargo. It's also right next to the engine room, and there's a non-zero chance a fire would start in the cargo bay itself.
Wait, I just checked Fandom, and it doesn't say the cargo bay is the 'official' vent for the engine room, just that it's what Mal used in the moment.
>not wearing a spacesuit because that would obscure the actor's face and make him harder to relate to,
Jamie rigged up a spacesuit in case Mal needs it, IIRC. And, again, Mal Reynolds. He does a lot of stupid, emotional things.
>or the gravity can work without power, which breaks the setting.)
...How? Maybe the gravity plates can hold a charge indefinetely without power, like a cellphone, but will eventually run out.
On the Artificial Gravity Without Power issue, Star Trek has "solved" that.
The artificial gravity machine involves a bit of spinning technobabble that keeps spinning for a long time after power is cut but as it slows, gravity slowly reduces. Eventually, it would get to .5g or so and be noticeable.
No. If people want to eat that slop they should be allowed to but I AM for making sure it's not slipped into everyday food for everyday people. I'm for making sure its never forced onto people, and i am for making sure the public knows full well that that slop isn't good for you.
Basically it would be enforcement of "Everything needs clear labeling and if you change the product you have to make an adequate attempt to show the public such. IE: Clear cut commercials, ads, and ABSOLUTELY a mention clearly and largely on the packaging.
And no trickery in the ingredients the way they do with some of the food additives. (NO HFCS... Ingredients: corn syrup, fructose, corn syrup solids, more corn syrup... Also calling the same exact thing by several different names)
They should empanel some linguists and nutritionists to analyze which ingredient names are most widely understood, and then the manufacturers can only use that one.
It’s actually extremely normal to mandate only using certain words, in a field. That’s why ancient scribal languages—most familiarly to most of us, Biblical Hebrew—have restricted vocabularies. (When the 19th century Zionists were resurrecting Hebrew as a living, daily-life language, they had to borrow a lot of vocabulary from Aramaic.) And why fields like heraldry use a special vocabulary, like referring to yellow as gold, black as ermine, and white as silver (the arms of Poland being an exception: the eagle is always white, not silver…but every other white eagle is called silver, and if it’s called white you know it relates to the Polish state, so the exception doesn’t really break the rule).
Systematizing the vocabulary of the D&D rules was an even bigger improvement, in the 3rd Edition, than making so many more rolls use the d20 or improving the skills system. It was a true contribution from the Wizards buyout: they drew on the experience of writing Magic the Gathering rules-text.
If you see a woman with straight hair, and you feel a need to emulate it to your own detriment, that's a you problem. No one else made you feel that way but you and your mama. If your mama taught you to feel that way, take it up with her. I take that responsibility, black community, and I put it back in your hands. No thank you. You can keep it.
Personally, I've always preferred the natural look on black women, I think it's beautiful, I've never understood the compulsion to use relaxers. That's the general white consensus on that issue, if anyone bothered to ask us. I put my hair in curlers to get a specific look, don't see me bitching about how I can't get it wet bc I'm chasing imaginary beauty standards. No one is making me do it. I do it because I like it.
And so do these women. They like having straight hair. Admit it, and stop performing ridiculous mental gymnastics for the sole purpose of justifying enjoying cultures other than your own.
Hi no I'm pissed off about the age verification laws and bills again. So many grown adults out there going, "The internet should be safe for my children," with all the brazenness of someone walking into a bar and saying, "You need to stop serving alcoholic drinks because I want to drop my children off here all day while I'm at work." Except at the same time they're also demanding that arsenic be added to all the drinks, including the ones being served to children
I will go full Amish before ever complying. If this is what it means to participate in society, gonna go ahead and just opt out, and build a new society with the rest of the dissenters. Not one of these services is worth the sacrifice.
The digital prison is an illusion anyway. There are massive swathes of people who don't subscribe. They don't play the social media game. They're not interested in social credit. Their currency is more stable. You don't see them because how could you? You're online and they're not.
And the dissenters and subverters, the free thinkers, the innovators; they will reign supreme in the end because they always do. The best idea always wins.

So Gavin NewScum has admitted on camera, that if somehow Republicans managed to ice out Democrats in the jungle primary (a system literally created to ice out Republicans, that they have a "Break glass in case of emergency" system waiting. IE: this MF-er little just said they have systems in place to remove Republicans from their duely elected positions.
Again. Democrats don't give a fuck about democracy. It's a pretty little lie they tell you to whip you up into a frenzy. Purge these people and put them in prison. They are breaking laws. So pussyfooting around and get it done. This nation wide cheating shit needs to stop.
I feel like I’m beating a dead horse but I’m feeling angry and just dumbfounded right now and I need to vent!!! It takes another level of sheer brain rot to genuinely be a living intelligent creature and in your heart of hearts believe Jews are the foreigners and “white colonizers” in… oh let me think… Judea. Y’know. Just the place we got the fucking name Jew from.
It’s seriously just breaking my mind and making me wonder what hope we have. In these moments it becomes so painfully clear why Israel is so needed. Jew hatred is a literal brain disease. There is no reasoning, no logic, no winning against, no nothing. It’s pure brain rot. You can’t argue with a stupid person, you can’t change the mind of someone who doesn’t have a mind to change in the first place. These people have their brains fully rotted from Jew hatred. To see this sheer amount of indoctrination and acceptance into bullshit propaganda that falls apart at the simplest of knowledge is unfathomable to me. It literally feels like I’m in some parallel universe or something, I don’t even have the words to contextualize how this feels. Literally what the hell is going on!!!
It occurs to me, many of the indigenous Christians of the Middle East, definitely Levantine and I think Assyrian and even Coptic ones, are taught, in the schools of Muslim countries, that they were converted by European colonizers. When in fact they were Christian before most of Europe.
It's not despite their Nazi tattoos and anti-Zionism that the progressive Left is flocking to their latest candidates. It's because of it.

And when each of these scandals broke, the Platner campaign knew exactly how to distract the base: Blame the Jews.
The day the sexting scandal broke, Platner’s campaign tweeted of his opponent, Susan Collins, that “a staggering one-third of her money raised this quarter came directly from AIPAC. Senator Collins is bought and paid for by Benjamin Netanyahu, and she votes accordingly.”
It’s the oldest antisemitic trope in the book: It’s all about the Benjamins, as Ilhan Omar put it in 2019: Jews are using their money to buy elections, Jews have too much power, Jews are undermining America by buying politicians and forcing them to obey their nefarious commands. In short, pro-Israel Jews like those who donate to AIPAC are less American. When they donate to candidates they like because they look kindly upon the world’s only Jewish state and don’t have a Nazi tattoo, they are betraying their homeland and exposing dual loyalties.
It’s just pure antisemitism on display—much like a Nazi tattoo.
And the Platner campaign did it again after Senator John Fetterman pointed out that the sexting site Platner had used for his extramarital affairs, Kik, is notorious for hosting sexual predators.
And the Platner campaign did it again after Senator John Fetterman pointed out that the sexting site Platner had used for his extramarital affairs, Kik, is notorious for hosting sexual predators.
In response, Platner’s campaign once again reached for their signature move. “John Fetterman seems to genuinely think that the reason no one likes him is because he refuses to wear a suit. It’s not the hoodie, dude. It’s because you’ve become a stooge for AIPAC and the Republican party,” they tweeted.
AIPAC is pretty sketchy, and I wouldn’t say anything different about an Israeli equivalent that pressured Knesset members to represent American interests. (“IAPAC”?) But she could be taking money from the goddamn Mafia and he would still be sexting underage girls.

That was a fun one, went looking to make sure and well.
Tree stump
Go check r/pettyrevenge for more, but I feel the need to remind everyone that this is illegal, the fire hydrant bit tree stumps are fair game, and even if it isn't illegal in your area it's incredibly unsafe to do because if there is a fire they're going to want that hydrant.
Big rocks, tree stumps, fence posts (konk crete is best), small children, or even just get enough water on it to turn it into a hunk of ice are good options that don't put the public at risk.
You do realize that Hitler killed socialists and communists along with the Jews… Right? National Socialism was not a far left ideology. National Socialism is a widely accepted political misnomer, and Hitler literally talks about his disdain for socialism and left wing ideologies in Mein Kampf. Nazisim was not a far left ideology, plain and simple.

The only reason Fascism/Nazism and Communism were/are at each other’s throats is because the former is strongly nationalistic, while the latter had an internationalistic leaning right from the start.
Socialism is literally in the name of the German Nazi party what were these retards doing in history class? Hell I could do you one better cause my grandpa who was a Jew in Germany literally hated the fuck out of socialists for that exact reason
“They killed socialists!1!” Yeah, they killed anyone who opposed their ideals including Nazis who didn’t think Hitler was the best, which was a lot of people. That’s how dictatorships work, assholes.
