Just wrote a ticket called "Cut areas into pieces (as a last resort)" and I believe myself to be very funny.

This really puts the playbook to the front: As consumer you get to buy just enough storage for a terminal and all actual storage is rented from big tech.
sell seven million copies? layoffs
Something else entirely: Any of my peers playing Marathon?
Yeah, that's definitely a fair point.
If I can't disagree with you and still empathize with the circumstances your facing, we're kinda screwed. (Again, some positions are definitely not debateable, but where do we draw the line?)
<- Then there's the supposed juxtaposition between empathizing and sharing different political views. I think a lot folks (especially online) assume one necessarily negates the other, and to some degree I might agree, but it completely erases any room for common understanding there could have been.
<- So they go, "Yeah, well it's complicated" or "We're living in difficult times" in order to offend no one.
Which absolutely comes across as disingenuous. ->
<- (and ideally also end up on the "right side", whatever that means).
I think what happens is that people think they have to have done the work of the second in order to be allowed to legitimately do the first. Which in a political set up as convoluted and complex as this, is unrealistic. ->
I think there's two things happening here for me:
First, me wanting to empathize with people affected by the conflict, especially if they're my friends.
Second, me being interested in the history and the politics of said conflict and trying to engage with that intellectually
->
... the fuck did I just watch? π― (Okay, I read up on Soken and I love him now)
At least for me that response is usually a sign of fatigued helplessness, somewhere between acknowledging and sympathising, while simultaneously not knowing how to properly. And I get that that's a very privileged attitude that one can only afford if they don't have any stakes in that conflict.
Nine Inch Nails' "Year Zero", an album written almost 20 years ago, managed to capture the political climate we're currently experiencing with such brutal accuracy. The fact that it culminates in the US engaging in nuclear war with Iran is really just the icing on the cake.
Mein Wunsch zum internationalen Kampftag wΓ€re, meine ErschΓΆpfung mit allen cis MΓ€nnern dieser Welt zu teilen. Bescheiden, so bin ich.

In the grim darkness of the present, dare to be colourful!
Good morning! Feeling a little low energy right now, but we'll still play some Final Fantasy XIV at 11am CET and continue our journey through Shadowbringers...

May your rightful rage make them tremble! Be loud if you can, protect those who can't. Stay soft and smash the patriarchy, together!!

Am heutigen Tag denke ich an all die Frauen in meiner Familie, die geschuftet und gekΓ€mpft haben, um sich und ihren Nachkommen ein besseres Leben zu ermΓΆglichen. SekretΓ€rinnen, Heimarbeiterinnen, Fabriksarbeiterinnen. Sie alle kΓ€mpften fΓΌr ein StΓΌck materieller Gleichstellung.
Petit fours imply the existence of petit fives, which are one better
Investors: "Anyway, we were so impressed that we invested the entire planets' economy in this, if it fails you're all cooked."
If some people are beautiful because they are so fascinatingly ugly, there must be people who are ugly because they are so fastidiously beautiful [that they] have achieved technical excellence at the expense of erotic charisma.

Coming out of Stormblood (which definitely was weaker than Heavensward), Shadowbringers is absolutely blowing me away. The story beats, the world design, everything feels so deliberate and well executed.
I have recently started playing through Shadowbringers and the writing and story are absolutely stellar.
HΓΆflicher Vorschlag fΓΌr MΓ€nner: Generell ΓΆfter mal Fresse halten (lieb gemeint).
This is your weekly reminder that we'll be playing some critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV tomorrow at 11am CET, and we'll we are continuing our journey through Shadowbringers...
