Pretty good litmus test tbh. Anything more than "I guess it'd be cool to see the earth from orbit but that's about it" usually turns into this weird space eugenics type shit.

Unless your answer is "it'd be cool to live in that anarchist space station/meteor wreckage thing from that one episode of cowboy bebop where they meet that chess master" then going to space is cool

sad that the god king Genghis Khan isn't alive today to experience the miracles of a bidet. I think he really would have enjoyed a nice, clean asshole as he was conquering and pillaging villges

If there's no one around to observe your forced performance of the idealized version of masculinity, can you still call yourself a man?

Do the resident evils after the first three count? I was pretty young when the first game for ps came out back in '96 and it scared the shit out of me. Loved everything about 2 and 3. Even loved the remake of the original for GameCube and code Veronica was...alright?

I know everyone loves 4 but my opinion at the time was that it was a good game but not a good resident evil game. That's prob my most boomer take but I grew up playing the first 3 so I wasn't a big fan of the action elements of the game.

Just finished playing the remake of 2 and, I mean it's fine I guess? I liked some things about it but they left so much out. Probably won't play the rest. Yeah, that's my old man take.

But if we're gonna stick with the main themes of the thread: Parasite Eve. The first game was a masterpiece. The second one is indeed a game.

AOC feels like if a bunch of tiktok discourse and therapy language was a sentient person.

"It'll be easier to organize under Harris"...but like, you're not organizing now? It's basically the same administration. Big "I'll start eating healthier on this arbitrary date instead of doing it right now" kind of energy.

Organizing under trump: damn I'm being beaten up by police and arrested

Organizing under Harris: damn I'm being beaten up and arrested and liberals are telling me that now is not the time and to go about the proper channels and wait for small incremental changes

Thinking back, the first thing that started my spiral in highschool and eventually snowballed into me dropping out was a mandatory public speaking assignment in a fucking health class during sophomore year. I was a pretty decent student up until then.

I had really bad social anxiety that no amount of "suck it up and get over it" would have fixed. I wasn't able to confront and remedy it until years later.

But yeah, forced to give an oral exam in front of a class of 30+, just skipped the entire class, took the F, my grades tanked to the point it was impossible to recover without repeating years and summer school. My mom already barely had enough money as it was, forget going to summer school. So I just dropped out.

The teacher was completely indifferent when I told her in private and gave me the whole "you either do it or fail" so yeah. A year later I dropped out. Life didn't really turn out much different had I graduated, though so there's that. Maybe I would've struggled less in my 20s, idk.

Been this way since childhood. Used to get detention/paddled for being late (I'm a child what am I supposed to do drive the car myself at 8 years old?)

Always late to jobs despite leaving what I perceive to be enough time to get there. A lot of places let me slide since I was a good worker.

I don't know, at this point in my life I don't think I can change it.

Punctuality is white supremacy and I will not elaborate.

The only multiplayer/fps game I ever enjoyed was classic tribes/tribes 2 back in the early 00s.

two things i love: outlaw country, and worshiping law enforcement

He's gonna challenge him to a round of beyblades
