The reason mutual aid is not charity is that when you do it, you are not positioning yourself as a benefactor of higher social status. The mutuality is that you recognize people you help are just like you & you know you're part of a whole & the survival of each one benefits the whole.

Same ๐Ÿ’ช young people are regularly surprised by this and it's the weirdest validation ever

People are way too quick to give a cuddly looking white dude the benefit of the doubt regardless of how much evidence there is against his character.

Same. Honestly I've heard amazing things about PAX Unplugged and would rather do that.

Dude's been caught in multiple lies about his hate tattoo. Even you can do better, Maine.

It was a reward for being the golden child in that fucked up "family" system.

I'm glad people are excited for GDC. I have never been in my 17 years in game dev. The studio always sent the same core group of dudes every year as a reward for... something.

beast wars is proof positive that all you have to do to have an enduring story that kids will talk about long into their late 30s is to not treat them like fucking idiots and hit 'em with HEAVY shit while also hitting them with literal poop jokes like the time rinox's massive shit saved the day

I'm an ancient sk8 punk so I still buy from Volcom, Billabong, Rip Curl, etc. A lot is geared towards young folks going to festivals but there is some good alt and scene inspired stuff.

these days I shop by just searching brands I like on ebay. There are bunches of higher quality pieces from before everything became enshittified. Otherwise nordstrom is a good place to look (can always buy elsewhere)

Tim Walz isn't declaring an eviction moratorium in Minnesota, so many families affected by ICE are at risk of eviction in a few days. Please donate to the rent funds at keepMNhoused.com if you have some scratch.

This man literally told me my leftist anarchist views were violent and extreme in practically the same breath he would use to spout some conspiracy theory about marshal law, executions & military tribunals

So when I hear that the same people were involved with gamergate, with radicalizing people using hyper popular videogames which I also played and loved for years... well let's just say I have no heart left to break lol

The man who verbally abused me on a daily basis from age 10-18 was further radicalized by his brother, an ex marine & daily wow player. When my abuser returned from watching him die of stomach cancer and lack of care in the VA system, his paranoia was off the charts. Guess whose problem that became

The number of game industry related names coming out of the files... does not surprise me in the least. Culture trickles down from the very top in those companies, remember that and you'll never be surprised by their behavior again.

Will the Prince Andrew arrest move the needle in the Epstein case?๐Ÿ‘‘

Numerous Epstein survivors have given first hand testimony that it was not only Epstein who raped and trafficked children.

Arrest Trump. Arrest Clinton. Arrest Bill Gates.

Mendelson and Andrew are only the beginning.
