I had a cool idea that I completely gave up on because I tried to learn how to do it and realized what I was asking was so insanely complicated and time consuming that I couldn’t do it. I play a lot of games, I know what would make a good one, there’s just a gaping chasm between knowing and creating.

… because you can download malware instead of movies and TV shows? It’s an unsafe site now.

Definitely Torrentgalaxy. It looks suspicious af but I haven’t had any issues with it.

I thought we stopped using 1337x because they blatantly allowed malware on their site.

I do that too but I call it a “forced demo”

Depends on what it is. I’ll freeboot full priced games by well known companies that I don’t want to support but smaller games from studios trying their heart out? I’m a sucker for chucking money at them.

I just do the morally correct thing. Buy it, then pirate it so I really do own it forever. Inconvenient from a data storage perspective but the only simple solution I have on hand.

Hope I’m not the only one trying to put these words to Smooth Criminal.

You just got passed by, you just got hit by, a soldier in a hemi!

Yeah I’m trying to get you to self reflect but you’re right, it’s a ridiculous notion. Hey there’s still a Target you can go burn down for attention, better get on it.

You’re right, because it’s shoot first and if we feel like it we can ask questions! They looked like a nazi after all, that’s their fault.

Maybe but ruining the life of a 15 year old saying dumb shit doesn’t feel quite the same as an adult who knows the weight of their position.

What’s up with people not explaining their point? Which part, boss?

Did you want to expand on that or just keep me guessing?

Oh good, you expanded on it.

Ahhh the “white people aren’t a race” okay, black people aren’t a race then. Doesn’t make a whole lot of fucking sense does it? Breaking down definitions so you can build them back up to suit you is exactly what the ‘anti-racists’ do and it’s so god damn extra. Racism has absolutely nothing to do with power, oppression, none of that. I know, shocking. Racism is treating any race as inferior (regardless of their perceived power!) and you seem very strongly aligned with the dipshits who think you can shit on white people for being white and it not be racism because of some bullshit power dynamic you tack onto the end of the definition.

To be clear, white people were the first slaves. To be clear, Egypt even did it long after. The racism against black people is only the most recent. Not even the longest or the most brutal and your insistence to make it the biggest fucking deal to everyone around you is exhausting and plays counter to your entire side. You create the people you rally against because you go from “freeing the oppressed” to becoming the oppressors. You’ve gone from sticking up for people who couldn’t do it themselves to burning down buildings and blaming white people for not listening. You’re delusional and have become the thing you claim to be fighting against.

Fuck off and have the slightest bit of self reflection.

The problem is you’re so concerned with racism you’re willing to go the complete opposite direction. The type of person to say “black people can’t be racist to white people!” while saying the most racist shit possible. The type to be so overly concerned with the outcome you’ve boxed in your definitions so you can feel like a hero to the oppressed when in reality you’re just changing which class of people get oppressed. The Jews feel like they can’t possibly be as bad as the Nazis because they were victims as they now slaughter children taking shelter in hospitals.

I used them as a ‘debate tool’ to illustrate how an oppressed class can become the oppressors and you still let it soar over your head.

But living life with the presupposition that everyone has full context is ridiculous. Someone who throws up the “OK” hand sign being confronted as a racist is as absurd as saying someone who agrees with those statements is as well. Not everyone has the same wealth of knowledge and to assume people are doing it as a dog whistle or out of malice is as harmful to the people fighting Nazis because to the layman they look like over sensitive kids hunting for problems where none exist.

‘Quiet racism’ is ambiguous, cascading grays that need a wealth of context to address properly. Why focus energy into needles in a haystack when there is a needle factory right next door? We have ‘Loud racism’ right there. We should prioritize it.

I wonder how many people actually are nazis and how many are edgy teenagers trying to piss off people online. Surely the number of true shitbags can’t be this high.

If I have to, over the course of three to five minutes, origami together an elaborate construct of translucent bullshit in order to get a single wipes worth of toilet paper it will ruin my fucking week. If it still fails, which it has before, I will keep the trauma in my mind for a month before I can bury it under something worse. I would wipe my ass with a shower towel if they were dispensed in appropriately sized strips.

I will die on an adjacent hill.

No disagreement here, just unsure if there will ever be a way to grant freedom to the common man without enabling unsavory actors as well.
