  • As for reasons DVDs are so cool. LGR made this pretty rad video about all the cool things one might get for putting a DVD into a PC’s DVD-ROM drive. :D

    It’s bizarre how much derision you get for collecting physical movies you care about though. I always simply respond with “Have you ever really wanted to watch a favorite movie and found it got dropped from streaming services you do have, and worse, it’s nowhere to be found at all?”

    Not to mention how streaming operations can simply cut, censor, or edit anything they like depending on various cultural factors at play.

    Usually it gets them to think.

    The biggest scam is “buying” movies on platforms like Amazon. Although, kinda hypocritical of me, if you’ve seen my Steam library! 😂







  • Whelp that definitely narrows things down a bit.

    What’s the threshold for “armed conflict”? Like, currently shooting at each other? Snarling at each other over imaginary borders? Within what timeframe?

    Does being attacked disqualify one?

    But in all seriousness this sounds like a nice move. This could and should be the criteria for a LOT of international community benefits, like trade and such.

    “If you kids can’t figure yourselves out and learn to play nice, you don’t get to join the party until you do.” --Sincerely, the World

    It’d choke out fascists at the root pretty dang quick when all their neighbors are like “I’m enjoying everybody else’s support, I’m not getting involved in your bullshit.” Lol

    I like it.










  • I’m forever sickened by what the rich have done to the Christian faith, and how they’ve systematically and very intentionally destroyed literacy. (Not just of the Bible, either…)

    They did so because “radical Christianity” used to be extremely antithetical to sociopathic capitalist ideals, so they hit it hard and early in this country’s history.

    If a majority of people who identified as “christian” actually behaved as such, we’d be in a vastly better timeline. Radical Christians would be making their communities resistant to ICE, famine, drouts, and whatever other stupid disasters we’ve been dealing with.

    Developing non lethal protection is one thing, but implements to help the State to do what they’ve been doing? Disgusting. Beyond measure.
