I can't help trying to imagine what a "sinless" movie/show would look like by those standards.
Probably like a Lolbertarian wet dream, ie. perfectly logical men (only men, no UnStaBLe FeeEEeeEmALeS) making perfectly logical decisions like fuckin robots for the fake nonsense conflicts they encounter, and the villain is either women or "The State(TM)" or WOKEness. so basically Atlas Shrugged lol

Yeah I genuinely think CinemaSins did irreparable damage to media literacy in that sense, they've fueled an anti-intellectual movement trying to rigidly compartmentalize art into strict templates and categories based on what they think is the "correct" way vs the "incorrect". Some user here who I can't remember once said something like: media and art have become a puzzle to be solved or a game to be broken, instead of an experience for the viewer full of ideas and meaning. IMO that's the true "treat culture" and a byproduct of capitalism reducing art to a commodity instead of a genuine representation of the human condition and the emotional honesty it requires to fully engage with it

Tbf dunk_tank and by extension this comm are both basically hatewatching for social media posts. I'm not making a value judgment on that (I mod dunk_tank lol) but leftists absolutely have the same proclivity for ragebait, I think most terminally online people do, we're just not as publicly frothing as reactionaries are because leftists generally don't try to make careers/money off it

Fredrik Knudsen's video on EVE is really fascinating stuff, though more focused on in-universe events. I don't recall him even bringing this up in the vid which seems like a huge miss, I just recall various claims of admins giving benefits to certain users unchecked for a while. Also tracks with the monetization changes the devs made that universally pissed off their whole playerbase, unironic lolbertarians are wild

Hard agree on the soundtrack, imo the SotS music is probably Chris' best work on the franchise so far and he brought in a couple collaborators who elevate it further. I Should Build the Man a Statue is a highlight, esp once the the riff starts popping off around 2:16

There are third party tools that let you do that, not officially supported though. So yeah you can revert the game to its previous fully functional state at least. Just a shame it doesn't work properly out of the box atm ya know? It's a hassle

RoR2 is one of my all-time favorite games, just a masterpiece of coding, art design and extremely addictive gameplay. It sucks ass how badly Gearbox butchered it, but yeah the general consensus is that suits rushed the development process and now one of the best roguelikes ever made is almost unplayable. Like ffs the final boss' AI glitches out and he becomes invincible so you can't even beat the base game currently. All signs so far point to them investigating the bugs and actually fixing shit eventually but that could take months based on what modders have discovered about the new code. Another causality of the slow painful decline of the mainstream gaming industry in capitalist hell

Streamers aren't revolutionaries, at their absolute best they can serve as a piece of the pipeline to the left. It's good that Hasan's audience (the majority of whom are basically kids) is being exposed to consistent and principled anti-imperialism. I wish that didn't come with all the baggage of making his millions off of that same audience but I don't think its a net negative considering we live in a society etc etc.
That being said BadEmpanada is a drama-seeking childish weenie who contributes very little that other minor internet celebrities don't already do better and more consistently

I just found that her NATOpedia article is surprisingly thorough on her positions. She claimed at one point that wifi signals damage peoples' brains (that's the main thing I was remembering) but waved it off later, and at one point was flirting with anti-vax stuff but seems to have backpedaled on that. She's also staunchly anti-nuclear-power which seems silly though I'm not very informed about that subject. She's way more based than I thought tbh but PSL is a better party
I figure I'll vote PSL again like I did last time since they seem to be among the most principled leftist parties we have in this hellscape. I've seen a lot of support for Jill Stein but iirc she has some very weird reactionary conspiracy-brained views. How we feeling? Is  running this time around? edit: to be clear I assume most of the based parties will not be on the ballot in most states, I've written in my picks before and I'll do it again KKKopmala

Everyone knows how rabidly reactionary and shitheaded the SW fandom became after the Disney acquisition but I'm finally at my breaking point with this latest wave of chud whining. The Acolyte got review bombed before it even aired because [the showrunner is a lesbian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslye_Headland#Personal_life) and [the leading actress is a gay enby](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amandla_Stenberg). Also a clip of Stenberg from like 6 years ago made the rounds where she says the goal of a completely different project she was working on was to make white men cry and chuds who get all their news from youtubers thought she was talking about the Acolyte. Fast forward to the show's release, the chuds continue to whine about woke Star Wars despite the show's first several episodes being pretty bland and mid in every regard. To disguise their actual reasons for hating the show (diverse cast and queer showrunner) they pull out the absolute most ridiculous reasons to bash it, including but not limited to: - "The writing is awful and the story sucks!" (the dialogue is genuinely quite bad at times but no worse than 95% of star wars projects. The general story is a mystery-thriller that's compelling enough. Also these same people turn around and say the prequels are incredible so ) - "The show contracts and ruins the prequels!" alright time to put on my nerd cap because the media literacy of these fucking shitbags is nonexistent. "Dark side user" =/= Sith, Red-lightsaber-user =/= Sith, there are tons of darkside users in the galaxy but the Sith area very specific order that the jedi warred with for thousands of years before they were almost completely wiped out. Also half the point of the prequels was to show the Jedi are blinded by their hubris and waning connection to the force, the Sith were right under their nose the entire time and they were just too arrogant to see it, silly Darth Teeth man doesn't ruin shit in your dog ass shit fuck childrens movies. - "The show RETCONS CANON in an **UNACCEPTABLE WAY**" this is because a prequel side character's DOB was retconned and he's a lot older now and appears in the show. These worthless fucks are [sending death threats to Wookiepedia editors who change the character's DOB](https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/i/status/1803517164776989131) and screaming that it's *vile* yes that's right it's ***VILE*** to change a fictional background character's birthday. Just take a look at the replies on that post, yes I know it's the bird hellsite filled with ragebait but the responses like "oh well I thought that GATEKEEPING was a BAD THING " are just so bleak. Art and media mean nothing to these people, their hobby is not watching Star Wars, its watching ragebait youtubers and getting *violently* angry about mundane things in shows they've never watched and aren't interested in  Also these screaming manbabies keep referencing non-canon books and shit as "proof" of the show retconning things The discourse around TLJ was bad but I think I'm finally done engaging with the SW fandom in any way shape or form. My brain has finally been broken by the chuds. I don't think I'll even tell people I like SW anymore because these shitbrains have just ruined it. And yes I know I need to  but if you don't spend a decent amount of time in these SW fandom circles I promise you don't know how bad it actually is /rant

We've seen an uptick in people posting dunks in here that belong in dunk_tank, as well as low-hanging fruit that gets removed from or isn't allowed in dunk_tank anymore. For context, rule 8 of dunk_tank: >Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. There's a reason that dunks are cordoned off to their own comm, some users rightfully don't want to see reactionary nonsense all the time, even if we're making fun of the person who said it. /c/cth is a general-purpose comm but it's NOT for posting some random nobody asshole twitter user's bad takes, the absolute best course of action to take when you see that stuff out in the wild is to either directly shit on them yourself, or ignore them and don't give them more attention. From this point on I'm going to be more stringent about moderating this. I get it, it's fun to dunk on the libs and the blue checks and the  and that's why **we have a whole dedicated comm for that**. Any post that's obviously meant to be "hey look at this piece of shit, let's laugh at how bad their opinions are, upbears to the left and emojis in chat" belongs in [the_dunk_tank](https://www.hexbear.net/c/the_dunk_tank). And any super low-hanging fruit doesn't belong on this site, period (see TDT rule 8 above). We have better things to do with our time than give unearned attention, time and energy to low-follower-count nobodies yelling into the void. Thanks for your discretion comrades, stay sicko  edit: as others have pointed out, [/c/shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml](https://hexbear.net/c/shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml) is a good place for any and all dunking content not allowed here. Post that ragebait to our comrades at the 'grad, they'll make good use of it. Also, per rule 9 of TFT **dunking on fediverse users is still explicitly allowed** so it's still open season on those in our own backyard.

I have constant stress/fixation over a costly fuckup I made (don't really want to get into specifics) and its just compounding my existing depression and dread over the state of the world. I'm just miserable every moment of every day and feel like I can't enjoy anything. I'm at the lowest I've felt in a long time and I'm so afraid of the future, I'm afraid this is never going to get better. The only thing that actually makes me feel normal and joyful again is drinking but I can't do that a ton due to health issues. I used to smoke some weed but lately that's been making my stress worse so I've had to quit that. I feel so trapped and hopeless. I don't want to talk to anyone in my life about this because I hate feeling like a burden to others and I don't think it will help my situation at all and it'll make me feel like I've lost control even though I know I've already lost control. I wish I could just run away from everything and find peace somehow away from all this. Things don't have to be perfect because they're never going to be perfect in this hellworld but I just don't want to be completely miserable. Idk what else to do so I'm venting to Hexbear. I don't know how much longer I can keep going like this before I completely break
