  • It’s never just a single issue, it’s a broad scope of ideas from outdated people. We keep consistently voting for people in their 70s who should retire. They don’t know what’s best for the future because they won’t have to live with the consequences of their actions.

    For the executive office at least,

    For congress, both parties taking huge swaths of lobbying money and corruption by huge corporations.

    Lobbying should be illegal and we need an age and term limit.








  • The OG paper Mario was good. It combined elements from various jrpgs and other Mario titles at the time like Mario Luigi Superstar Saga. When the sequel came out, it delivered on all the hype and beyond. It’s cheeky. Fun. And actually quite long. It expanded on the elements of turn based combat, made twists and generally improved on every single aspect of the original. Then the third game came out, it was mediocre and didn’t live up to any expectations.

    This game is a remake of the second game, so it’s exciting to see that there’s still hope for the paper Mario side of Nintendo.

    All this to say, thousand year door is a point of nostalgia for a lot of people born in the 90s and early 2000s

    Since we’ve spent the past 60 years talking about how horrific communism and extreme left is, even fighting multiple wars over it, we don’t really have a presence of far leftism.

    I feel like it’s cyclical at this point. We hate the far left so much that people become fascist. A fascist dictator rises. Everyone realizes how this was a bad idea, and we equalize. Generations forget, and we progressively move right again til another fascist dictator comes in.

    So no, there is no political power in America with true far left views, and our boomer gov would do anything to keep it that way.





  • Outer Worlds. Specifically when you have the conversation with Parvati in the bar about asexuality.

    As someone who’s generally not been sexually attracted to anyone but is masculine, I felt a connection in the dialogue that I’ve never really felt from any media before, ever.

    “I’ve tripped up folks in the past. Folks I thought cared about me for me. People said I was Cold.”

    Man I’ve never felt representation like that. Sex to me is so strange and often gives me a disgusting vibe, though I won’t deny it to my partner, its just not in my DNA I guess.

    Anyways. Never finished that game. After that conversation, I lost most interest in any other dialogue in the game. Might go back at some point, but not yet.
