“Don’t let CHINA read your messages! Let Facebook!”

Same here. My main wish for photo mode was more expressive body language choices, different, more naturalistic poses. Aiming option when a weapon is in hand. None of that was included unfortunately.

You can unbind the photo mode button. It’s in settings.

That last line is the trick. We’ve been conditioned so hard since we were little kids about our jobs being who we are. “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

This is something I became cognizant of pretty young. Late in high school I would answer that question snidely with a “happy”—it weirdly always pissed people off. But even so, I still struggled well into my late 20s with not letting that “Im wasting my life with this job” feeing creep in. I even traveled most of my 20s and was the last panel sometimes. Feeling like just spending the money I’d saved and lying on a beach every day and partying all night and country hopping was something I should be ashamed of.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to have found a job I find interesting and fulfilling, but differentiating between finding something that challenges and engages me and defining myself by my title took a long, long time. At this point, the majority of my life. We’ve been thoroughly conditioned to not differentiate. Learning to is a revolutionary act. Fuck your capitalist value. Fuck capitalism.

They’re sending rapists—and some of us, I assume, are good people

They really are the new nazis.

Peach? Yoshi? Bowser? There are a lot of ride-or-dies in the crew.

Yeah let’s thoughts and prayers this thing and put it to bed

Let’s talk about it.

They can’t grab your fingerprints while you’re walking down the street minding your own business. And genetic samples are regulated. Them building a database of facial recognition in one of the most surveilled countries in the world should be a cause for concern. Think zero privacy. It’s the same with phones. We don’t want that information just out there, tracking every single thing. same concern. (For those of us that care about privacy, that is)

And when there are no more corpo-centrists to choose, they will always support the fascists. Especially when faced with a growing leftist movement. That is what we are now seeing happen in France.

That’s part of the American mythos that’s honestly not much more than brainwashing. There is no “revolutionary American spirit.” Not since the country was founded, actually. Sure, leaving the British, but then…nothing. I don’t think we can call something that last happened in the 1700s “part of who we are.” We are the face of global hegemony and capitalism.

We’re not all still sperm just because that’s how we became people, yknow what I mean?

Eh. I mean, the cruelty shouldn’t be our point. In revolution, violence against the monsters of the ruling class isn’t celebrated for being cruel—and laughing in his family’s face is undeniably cruel. We aren’t the cruel ones. They are, and comeuppance isn’t meant to be cruel, it’s meant to free us.

Nah man. It’s pretty revolutionary. Which is pretty not American.

Say someone is holding a bunch of people hostage, at gunpoint.

Is it justified to “murder” them?

Now turn the gun into a massive industry that puts itself between people and healthcare in order to profit off the need for care. And turn that room full of hostages into 1/3 of the country.

Morals are relative. If this CEO was in his truck running down the sidewalk crushing people, it’s justified to shoot them if you can.

Weren’t they a “nonprofit” lol

You’re a human. And CEOs of healthcare gatekeepers are fucking not. Fuck ‘em all. Guillotines for the motherfuckers, but this works too.

Yeesh. I mean, chronically neutral people are fucking garbage, we can all agree. But the lack of nuance in political discourse and in the actual understanding and worldviews of seemingly everybody is a massive problem. People not even grasping that there can be nuance on issues is incredibly devastating to political discourse. Social media is definitely a big culprit, but the “catchphrase politics” era was most definitely part and party to this too.

Bring back nuance 2025

Is that really he way he smiles? He looks like a fuckin psychopath with his eyes fuckin dead like that
