Why isn't Jack Black canceled anyway for making a movie with Kevin Hart?
Johnny Domino is a well-known San Franciscan jazz musician who is accidentally struck by a lightning bolt in a freak cable-car accident. The strike allows him to telepathically recognize evil but robs him of the ability to sleep. Although Night Man has no other superhuman powers of his own, he owns a special bulletproof bodysuit that gives him several abilities, including flight, holographic camouflage-style invisibility and advanced sight functions through the round red lens over his left eye including the ability to see in the dark and fire a laser beam.

Don't make threads with inflammatory framing.
Until the advent of Gamergate I kind of assumed that nerds were more progressive on the whole, even the ones who were Republican/Tory/what have you by identification would at least have the common cause of growing up knowing what it was like to be an outsider. To that end, the progressive side of nerd culture is super-progressive, but the reactionary elements were frightening to behold.It feels to me like a more mainstream version of incel culture. While they lack the aggressive self-loathing and defeatism of incels, it comes from the same ideas, growing up nerdy you can be denied what you're told by society is normal and expected; sexual intimacy, social clout, the feeling of belonging that comes from playing high school sports, but instead of looking at it and finding common cause with other marginalized peoples, you get into a crab bucket mentality and decide to step on those people to claim your shred of "normalcy."It comes from low self-esteem and the hardships that can come from identifying with a counterculture, but then in pointing that anger at the wrong targets.
Boom, this is it. So many nerds seem to out the breaks on emotional development during their mid teens and just never catch up.And because they tend to shut themselves off they lack any sense of perspective and replace real life experiences with pop culture stereotypes, the best example being "chads" and "stacies"
It’s weird because I remember most people on the internet in 2000-2006 I interacted with that were nerds were progressive. It was progressive to like drugs, watch anime, and be indifferent to people’s race/orientation. It felt like the people on the internet were well-read, reading and debating news outside of TV and could acquire information easily compared to the people offline who didn’t know what memes, 4chan and YTMND even were let alone how to scour sources on the internet.Suddenly the internet now feels like a horribly alt-right place filled with everyone’s mom and grandma on Facebook consuming false media and sound bites, and it feels ironic considering where it came from.
It's basic in-group/out-group dynamics. Many people saw nerd culture as an escape from social ostracization and bullying through the 80s and 90s, forming (what appeared to be) an insular community of like-minded individuals who could share and appreciate something special. When nerd properties began having mainstream appeal and success on television and film, these same nerds saw expanded audiences as basically invaders, people who didn't belong who were now mucking up the dynamic and trying to take over. The fact that many of these properties are about overcoming adversity and living up to ideals of goodness is completely irrelevant because it was never entirely about the moral lessons of the works. It was about having a shiny toy and thinking those bullying sjws who- in their minds- never liked the toy in the first place (we did) are trying to take it away from them.
Exactly this. It's all over gaming side and it's weak af.

Because critical thinking is the scariest possible concept to a tone deaf nerd. We live in the era where some people literally are ridiculous enough to believe that James Bond and Metal gear aren't inherently political.

Nostalgia for the Confederacy and white supremacy were largely kept alive post Civil War by the United Daughters of the Confederacy. Never trust American white women, especially blondes, natural or otherwise.
Just think. Many of these ladies find him attractive and/or charismatic, or at the very least have some weird deep seated daddy issues in their worship of him.

Most of the managers have very limited experience with video games development, and none on the scale they're trying to work on. This leads to massive over-budgeting and schedules that are more than a year off. This responsibility is hoisted onto the staff, who have little to no creative say. The pay is remarkably low to start, and does not increase. Promised raise and bonus schedules were not adhered to except for the absolute highest end workers. Employees who questioned management practices in perfectly professional manners were publicly berated and insulted in front of their peers using aggressive and profane language. Many of the things expected of their content creators run directly contradictory to established game industry practices. So in many ways, you'll be learning bad practices which need to be "unlearned" in other offices. Office culture involves dating between superiors and direct subordinates.

They better hope this company don't find out about Games Workshop, because if they do they're gonna start paying their weeb "english speaking" employees with loot crates instead of real money.

It definitely does feel like a collection of "that's what nerds do" scenes by people who probably picked on nerds in high school to begin with. I'm almost surprised there's relationships involved considering nerds are single, ugly, degenerate and so on according to such people.

So my girlfriend is a hoarder and I'm trying to break her of the condition because I'm a minimalist.Her complex comes from her parents - she feels guilt throwing things away because it made her realize she didn't need to buy it in the first place - or that it could still be used someday.Like weird things - her place has a corner just for boxes and bags from shopping or things she bought...and I'm like "babe why do you need those?" "for when I move again" and I was like - just recycle those and buy recycled cardboard boxes from a moving store when you move again. You're saving like $10 to $20 by keeping a corner of bags and boxes. She's moving in slowly into my place so she's still keeping it for that, but huge hoarder signs. I think she's slowly getting that she can't be a hoarder at my place.
because I'm a minimalist
What is it about this dumb game that makes me tear up all the time? I can't cry for actual emotional problems but then I see some cute squids or listen to one of the songs and I can't stop myself.Can squids even cry? Does the water content of their tears burn their skin or does it not effect them like that?
