Muted in the English world. I argue junk food commercials draw a lot of parallels with cigarette commercials of the past. For some reason obesity isn’t worth prevention so the advertisements are pretty gross.

Soft drinks. Coca Cola especially really loves to tie emotions and sports/holidays to sugar water.

All I’ll say is I’ll be watching where fire bans are in effect if it ever comes to that.

Shit and immediately leave 'cuz I don’t want ass grapes gang.

Then I act like a Windows user and go there via the GUI because I didn’t feel like learning how to use nano.

Oh video games are a different story yeah. I can handle weird legacy control schemes, but I’m usually just bored by what I’m looking at, and that’ll make me quit first. The further back you go, the more absolute that becomes. Never completely, I have exceptions from any console that I’d argue are timeless.

edit: I guess because the exceptions did something I hadn’t seen before, or nailed what they were going for. Not every idea gets done to death, some are left behind.

But even if that’s a narrow selection of stuff, I keep finding new weird old games to play.

Like I just dsicovered Garage by Kinotrope and I’m having a blast.

No wonder Sorbo posts so much, it’s the only place he has an audience.

Oh those are pretty cheap, nice find.

They’ve not been competitive for years now at the prices they charge. Now they do anti consumer stuff like this.

The same thing I do with video games: backlog and obscure media hunting. Nothing is too old to consider.

There’s always something old I hadn’t found the last time I went looking. Fan translations or edits included. I lurk originaltrilogy forums.

When that fails I go outside.

If it was actually AI sure.

This is an unthinking machine algorithm chewing through mounds of stolen data.

Ow fuck! These things are everywhere!

USA media really hates to arrive anywhere huh.

The shittiest ms paint drawing is better than anything an AI can do because AI is soulless and dehumanizing.

Which is to say, I view you as gleefully causing culture rot.

Always weird to me they didn’t bother renaming the holiday they co-opted. They did it with Christmas.

It’s named after the goddess Ēostre.

Not sure anyone really knows yet. I’m a pessimist by nature, so there’s blind spots and I freely admit them.

I could be convinced to assemble some stuff, but we’d waste less of our time by asking what media formats you actually like.

Read, listen, watch, etc.

I can’t stand audio books for example.

How? Probably not via voting in 2028 or holding a sign. As in, not within the pre-existing failing/failed system. This one isn’t gonna recover.

After the people are in charge of the smouldering ashes, you can start from scratch! The one upside. Assuming USA doesn’t just submit passively and end up like Russia with a broken people for centuries, which is what I’m expecting.

Copy Canadians. Including the limits on campaign length, so your news cycle isn’t so endlessly exhausting. No wonder 1/3rd have totally tuned out. IMO scrap FPTP like we didn’t have the balls to do.

Eternal punishment was Rome I thought.

The first 500 years of the cult had already fractured into a few different forks and had very different ideas about afterlife already before Rome picked it up and popularized it as official religion.

At least that’s my understanding.

Anyways, the actual history of religions should make anyone atheist.

I remember Oblivion too well to replay vanilla right now. I’ll probably try it out a decade from now modded out the wahzoo.

Mad respect.
