Just started listening to this band earlier this year and they’re so good!

You’re so optimistic! I wish my fellow Americans actually had even one data point. America invented most of the techniques of oppression and tyranny that we exported abroad and renamed fascism. But Foucault and his boomerang have always been correct, it’s just colonialism brought home to recolonize the imperial core.

Americans haven’t read a single history book if they can help it, and proudly so, while the only progress made on oppression has been finding new and ever more complex ways to dissipate and disguise it.

You’re doing God’s work danekrae! (unfortunately that means your opposition is literally Satan)

Is that date important? I forget

FF10 is like a personality test for sexuality:

Lulu - goth dommy mommy

Yuna - good conservative religious girls

Rikku - young and playful girls

Tidus - fuckboys

Wakka - athletic twinks

Auron - yes daddy

Kimahri - 😻

I’m a little embarased to say–I mean I was a preteen boy at the time–but I spent way too many hours fantasizing and lusting over the picture of the Rogue class in the Diablo 1 manual.

Those pixelated succubus titties in the Hell stages were really something too. Kids today just don’t know how desperate we were for even a hint of nudity.

See also, the other love of my young life, Samus Aran.

I completely agree. I’ve been sharing some art I’m doing for inktober, but only because it’s doodles for practice, and could only make ai art worse for it’s inclusion.

But my writing (on my personal website) or my serious art works or my persona open source code projects? Yeah, I have lost all enthusiasm to share them online. If people want to see my work, I’ll send it to them directly.

I think the era of free and open sharing on the Internet is dead, which does sadden me. I think we’re ultimately moving to a new dark age, the Dark Net Age, where all communication and sharing will go into various private chats and sites, where people can be vetted and held accountable.

Well people that care, which will end up being like the early internet: smart kids, embattled minorities, and crotchety, paranoid old folks. All the people too busy or ignorant to care are already deep into the algorithmic treadmills of X and TikTok and I don’t think they’re ever coming out.

This kind of thing is why I dont get excited for steam sales now. Oh, 50% off Recent AAA Game? Haha, yeah, half off the base price, but the entire game is DLC now and each of those is still full price, and there’s a dozen of them.

I’ve really enjoyed getting to see your other artistic skills this month! It gives me a new appreciation for the skill and effort you bring into the heathcliff edits!

Awesome interpretation of the theme! And who doesn’t love drawing a cool sword or two?

Theodore Kaczynski was a mathematician but is better known for being the Unibomber (and author of a manifesto against technology and academia). Quite the cheeky reference!

Thanks so much (and for the cross post)! I appreciate the feedback, this has been a great exercise for practicing my drawing!

That ice flow has taken the little guy a looooong way from home!

I love the moth memes, so it’s absolutely a term of endearment, though I have started to just recognize you as a general top-tier meme poster from the home instance! Thanks for helping to make the fediverse amazing!

TFW your parents are about to leave you home alone

Damn, it’s almost like recentralizing the internet under 5 (USA) companies’ was stupid and dangerous.

Coming as a crosspost from the guy I have labeled “Mothman” adds like 2 or 3 more tiers to how true and funny this is.

Yeah, that one’s always bothered me too. I think the difference in meaning from colloquial “implication” and logical “material implication” are also involved in the raven paradox.

So the statement that “all ravens are black” can be taken as “if RAVEN then BLACK”. Is this statement true? If you see a black raven then trivially yes, if you see a white raven then trivially false (via counter example).

However if you see a non-raven, it is evidence for the truth of the statement because it doesn’t go against it: not-ravens being black-or-not-black both reduce the universe of possible objects without proving not-black-ravens exist.

Or something like that, I think it’s stupid too. Trinary logic can adopt a more sensible (IMHO) definition of implication that makes A being false always lead to the third value (usually defined as indeterminate or neither-true-nor-false).
