•Anti-capitalist meme pebbler• @seizethememez.bsky.social · 1d

The image is a humorous meme titled "Every Graph About the US." It depicts a simplistic graph with two intersecting lines.

- The horizontal axis is labeled "Some" on the left and "metric" on the right.
- The vertical dotted line in the middle is labeled "Ronald Reagan."
- The green line, labeled "Good thing," starts high on the left and trends downward as it moves right.
- The red line, labeled "Bad thing," starts low on the left and trends upward as it moves right.
- The lines intersect at the "Ronald Reagan" point

I don't think the devs should have to accommodate the option, but people should be free to mod it however they want.

This isn't about porn or gooner brain or whatever, it's not even about looks, this is about power. They don't want to see beautiful women, they want all women in media to be nothing but objects for the pleasure of (white) men.

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

That's the thing, innit? I can work with the one on the left, I just don't think you should go around telling people what their art should look like. It's no different than people "fixing" sexy characters.

Deus Ex is wonderful and it doesn't take too long to finish. It may very well be the definition of a perfect game. I give it an "Excellent" out of "However many children I tased during my playthrough".

And this:
92% of the growth in the entire country this year has been data centers. And some of that is "circular deals" that dont involve actual money

fortune.com/2025/10/07/d...

Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025, Harvard economist says | Fortune

Is a U.S. without data centers a country without GDP growth?

If you share this someone named José Adolfo Humboldt-Pérez-Klein-Venedig, advisor at the Ludwig von Mises Institute for the Promotion of Child Labor (headquarters in Madrid), will appear in your replies, telling you that you need to listen to the "real Venezuelans who are asking for freedom."
