I JUST REMEMBERED HEARING AN ELON MUSK QUOTE WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT HOW HE BELIEVES CHESS IS "TOO SIMPLE" OR WHATEVER AND HE SAID HIS FAVORITE GAME WAS A GAME CALLED "POLYTOPIA"

I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IVE PLAYED POLYTOPIA

It being Elon's favorite game (or at least one so important to him that his biographer dedicates a lot of time to it) is.....really really funny.

Basically, imagine Civilization, but as a mobile game. So like if Civilization Revolution was even more dumbed down (that's a Civilization insult. That's devastating. It's devastated right now). For what it's worth, it's not a bad game. On the contrary, from what I could tell in the little bit of time I played it, it's a perfectly competent game with good design. But it's not a deep game by any means. I played through it once, won easily on my first go, then saw that the other playable characters had barely any differences between them.

Like, not to imply you can judge a book by its cover, but here's what it looks like

I came across an article by Dave Karpf discussing this exact thing, and I think it describes it wonderfully

start of new cycle of spring, time to finally posting the full sets!

don’t go for realism in your art if it frustrates you, get weird, get blocky, get wiggly, just try and draw what makes you happy, not something that meets a standard

I made him sit still for a photo

I went to bed and I woke up feeling well rested. this has never happened before what do I do

the fight is harder each year.

what abled ppl think is a massive problem for disabled folks: 13 year old on the internet faking something

what is actually a massive problem for disabled folks: "well you don't LOOK disabled, are you sure you're not faking? I'm not giving you accommodations until you PROVE you're not faking. Please give me, a stranger, your medical info and explain your condition to me in detail so I know you're not faking and only then will I respect or take you seriously"

sometimes I see in stark contrast how hate begets hate and the cycle never ends

I don't think that's true like at all. I think that's another Liberal Trite Aphorism, with respect. it's one of those Sage Wisdoms which gets bandied about in Academy Award Winning films and biopics about Jackie Jackoff and his story of how Love Conquered The Power Of Hate and Led To A World Filled With Tolerance. This is a lie sold to you by the liberal capitalist ideological ecosystem in an attempt to assimilate your political consciousness into a shape which can accommodate abiding the existence of capital.

There is nothing inherently "Good" about "Love." There is nothing inherently "Bad" about "Hatred." Both of these things are just Things. Like Force, or Violence, or A Hammer. A hammer can build a home or break bone. Force can liberate a people or imprison them. Love can be used as the justification for brutal fascisms and can be the basis of people's revolutionary convictions. Hatred can be an emotional driver towards liberation even as it can be the basis of violent reaction. None of these things are inherently anything. It matters what they are used for and why. To say that "hate begets hate and the cycle never ends" is to be, respectfully, woefully credulous to an ideological framing which exists quite clearly and specifically to stifle and de-legitimize valid attempts at social change through the use of force.

You must free yourself from the analytical prison of the disconnected, un-constellated points of "wisdom" which paint the sky of liberalism's cosmology. There is something beyond this. You must learn to actually understand how the world works, seeing past the veil that Ideology has drawn over your eyes. You must, because the stakes are to be blind to the basic realities of the world around you. You must Jack Out. Wake up, Neo! etc etc etc ad infinitum.
