good boy? more like good movie!

the worst part about it is it made me miss my dog the entire time

the poster for good boy, which feature's a bunch of creepy hands reaching out to a dog, except OP photoshopped their black dog over the poster dog.

originally saying "starring indy as good boy," OP has also crossed indy out and replaced it with sebastian

this is exceptionally frustrating when fighting a two-phase boss

okay a real complaint i have with yōtei is that when i die in a fight and restart, i start with less spirit than with what i had when i went into the fight initially and that honest to god is gonna have me bounce off this game

i’ll never get over how some people pointed out trump was going to do project 2025 and then eventually the media asked trump if he was going to do project 2025 and he said “never heard of it” and the media decided he surely couldn’t be lying about that one

i miss when things sucked less but the point of capitalism is that it was always going to get like this and it will continue to get worse until enough of us realize just how actually fucking stupid it is to be this dependent on/oppressed by money, which is also something we just made up

deleted my original response because it was said a little angrily and may have come off insensitive, but basically trans folks are not being heard on here by the people in charge

and if you are actively silencing marginalized voices, your actions are feeding a system that will chew you up and spit you out AND you are evil on top of that.

tl;dr ignoring and silencing marginalized voices is bad for everyone, yourself included!!!!

these are always the people you should be listening to, and if you are indifferent to them, it's because you have an exceptional amount of privilege, and ignorance to the fact that your inactions are feeding a system that will chew you up and spit you out, too.

we've seen this in labor movements, civil rights movements, etc. it is ALWAYS the marginalized communities standing up for EVERYONE.

time and time again, the people who have made positive societal change have been queer folks (THIS INCLUDES TRANS FOLKS, YOU FUCKASS TERFS), women, people of color, and very specifically trans women of color.

Dr. Damien P. Williams Wants A Better Sociotechnical Paradigm @wolvendamien.bsky.social · 3d

Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

Sycophantic AI Decreases Prosocial Intentions and Promotes Dependence

Both the general public and academic communities have raised concerns about sycophancy, the phenomenon of artificial intelligence (AI) excessively agreeing with or flattering users. Yet, beyond isolat...

Endless Mode @endlessmode.bsky.social · 6d

Some have called Silent Hill f a "soulslike" due to a few similarities to Dark Souls. Is that a fair assessment, though? How much "souls" is in the new Silent Hill, anyway? @gracemachine.bsky.social investigates. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

Is It Accurate to Call Silent Hill f a "Soulslike"?
