You’re right, its not like this website was formed on dark humor about making fun of fascists or anything

We’ve moved on, ascended. There are no jokes allowed on the games board on hex bear dot net

i apologize for my crass humor. i realize now this haven of gamers… was actually a necessary safe space from fascism. Only here, in c/games, could we allow ourselves to forget that a fascist has immense power over our lives and be safe from joking about it. I will remove myself from this sub. Have a good day

Understandable. I think maybe just focus on what you can control and your own actions if you bring it up with her. Like you said, this is a dicey conversation to have.

But you could frame it as your own worries about you being a good sibling/whatever you decide to call yourself as the nuncle/nantie, because you both know your childhoods were rough. And because of that, wanting to support her as much as possible, and you want to give the kid as good as life as possible. Maybe if you offer yourself as help she won’t feel threatened by concern about the kiddo in the future. And long term, this is good for the kid too. Having a trusted non-parent adult is great for kids, *especially *if the parenting is poor.

But anyway yeah i really have mixed feelings when i see people having kids. I’m not antinatalist either but… i live in colonizer usa and… i’m just gonna say it. we really don’t need any more treatlers here lol. But hey, material conditions and all that, likely their kids will be radical due to the impending collapse and it’s her body her choice to have kids so, it is what it is. sorry if my chatting is too advicey, feel free to tell me to fuck off to be honest lol :) i just like to be too helpful sometimes, it’s a problem.

I just — you’re telling me now for the first time

vorkosigan series, ursula k leguin’s tao te ching, and beginner’s mind, zen mind. The latter is truly the best book on mediation i’ve read so far!

even passively wishing you weren’t alive like you were never born is suicide ideation, my friend. I’m truly sorry you’re suffering, but the world would definitely not be better without you.

experts picked to talk to you for a reason, believe their expertise, my comrade :) they’re not expecting perfection from you. i hope you feel less stressed soon

i hope they are floating in front of me, absorbing my legal weed exhales and getting high with me

exactly my point

if a brown Muslim immigrant did this to someone like nancy pelosi, libs would dial up the racism meter to 11 and the attacker would probably get fuckin 20 years. Ice would get infinite money, the endless war on terror would re-escalate, and not even succdem libs would oppose the tiniest bit of it

lmao gottem

but nah it was actually mostly more vorkosigan series lol

14 months for a hate crime?

I don’t think imprisonment is the ideal way to deal with criminals. I prefer humane rehabilitation, with humane imprisonment as an absolute last resort. But under this shitty fuck bad system, this feels like racist joke to sentence her attacker so lightly. What happened to her was a premeditated violent hate crime that could have gotten much more violent very quickly. I seriously hope this violent chud gets deprogrammed but idk if you could deprogram someone that far gone in 14 months, let alone this shitty fuck bad system which doesn’t even try to do that.

Bleak, fuck this, but i hope she feels safer for awhile at least.

i have read six books in the last two weeks by replacing doomscrolling with bookscrolling. Please applaud me, so that once i receive validation i may stop.

whoa, writing? that’s going to far my friend, they want you to ai generate posts that no one will ever read

it’s sad to think about how they have learned enough to be afraid of poachers and then had to mass organize to self defend.

The world is too unkind. if a victim has to resort to self defense, their community has failed to protect them.

i have a boomer trans woman mom who freaking **loves ** that movie and i am cis so i am just quietly not participating in this (apparently still raging) micro culture war LOL

i am touching grass. i am watching the sunset. i am petting my cats. I can only control my actions and i will never be financially supporting this movie regardless. I am going outside to the library. i am smoking weed and doing yoga and reading theory and collecting fall leaves.

Nothing like typing a multi-paragraph response to something expanding on the nuance of a situation and then people seemingly ignore all but the idea of what they thought the post would be and then respond to that. but then you read their response and it’s repeat of one of the points i made like it’s something new or didn’t bring up. sometimes they even repeat the conclusion of my own post to me like i didn’t just build a logical argument building up to it lol. and there’s nothing you can really respond with other than “yeah, i just said that” which makes you sound like a dick, even though they’re the ones not actually adding anything to the discussion.

specifically rddit is the worst for this, some of the comments legit are AI generated now. Sometimes i search for things and find reddit threads from 5 years ago and the quality of discussion is actually interesting to read compared to slop from the past few years, despite being on rddit dot com. Dead internet starts with dead and artificial brains i guess.

stops microwaving a full metal can of beans at :01 to let you keep sleeping

not to be all but the average reading level of internet commenters seem to be 4th grade now, if you’re lucky

I didn’t stare out a window, i fell asleep. my mind was emptied tho so same thing right

everyone needs staring and thinking while looking out a window time, yet time for for a worker is so limited, and robbed on top of that too

i’m gonna go stare at the birds outside

that sounds like a fantastic day
