what do they mean by a country collapsing?

like what am I meant to picture

the breakup of the USSR?

it feels like we're at the period in history where every country is thoroughly established and anyone who isn't a moron understands that changes like california or texas leaving the union would leave both entities much worse off

anyone doing imperialistic land grabs like russia or china are considered completely contemptable by the rest of the world, borders changing and territories changing hands are pretty much a thing of the past

or do they just mean things getting worse and no longer being a world power? that's possible, but things will get equally bad for everyone else at the same time, so every country will be "collapsing" in that way

Excited...?? I'm sorry, but why would I be excited that my country is potentially going to collapse? The only way I'd be excited is if ALL society collapses and I don't have to work my stupid job anymore. That's the only way this is exciting. Jesus.

 :picard :dead

yeah society collapses and somehow life gets easier

ahh boy I can finally relax I don't have to work my job anymore

wait what do you mean, hand over all my belongings or you'll kill me

wait what do you mean you're going to kill me anyway just for fun

I honestly did not know how to word it, but for some in say, Latin America, Id imagine it would be exciting to finally have the elephant leave the room.

liberals from the US are driving the entire conversation online about which races and identities need protecting above all else

if the US was suddenly erased from existence, south america, africa and asia would breathe a sigh of relief and be openly racist/nationalist as fuck (more so than already)

Everyday, the blowback Will Smith got from his slap becomes more nonsensical as Ezra gets away with more insane shit.
Will Smith is one of the biggest stars on the planet and smacked Chris Rock on live tv. Nobody fucking knows who Ezra Miller is, much less what they’ve been doing. Of course there’s going to be more of a public reaction to the former than the latter.

It would ring a LOT less hollow if the races that legitimately DO most need protecting - refugees - even entered the conversation, let alone had the US do its fair share of the heavy lifting in absorbing them (especially given how many originate from countries the US has specifically fucked with to make them refugees)

Additionally, while I may be wrong here, I don't really see most EU states as "collapsing" right now? Maybe it's my American-centric view, but the empires that seem to be on the brink of collapse are USA, UK, maybe Russia, and honestly China has some issues that could explode. Not, like, Norway and the Netherlands?

Correct me if I'm wrong here.

I think all this just points to people being so entertained, satisfied and pacified that EVERYone wants something horrible to happen so they have an excuse to kill people or break out the popcorn and watch it happen

the right has the boogaloo boys anticipating civil war and trumpers frothing over law enforcement, the left wants to see collapse and secession and the murder of the rich, everyone is poking every other country with a stick say c'mon do a violence

it's not going to happen

if you join a militia to go murder your political opponents you might not live to play final fantasy 16

Wait, so Trump may learn who the informant is if he’s ever charged? That seems dangerous. Or more like there would be enough context as to how they figured it out that he could narrow down who the potential informant is.

People have the right to confront an accuser?!?!?!

Holy shit at monetising theme parks, that’s some dark level capitalism.
Any adult with an annual Disney theme park pass should be on a watchlist
Rebecca Marcus visits Disneyland often — but not always for the rides.

“It’s about how being there makes me feel and the memories I make, not necessarily how many rides I do in a day,” she told SFGATE. “Just being able to smell the magic, hear the music, and see Mickey is good enough for me.”

For Marcus, visiting the mouse is self-care. “When life sucks, we need a source of light and joy. For me, that's Disneyland. Yes, it's more crowded, yes, it takes a little more effort and commitment now, but I'm still of the mindset where I'm just happy to be there.”

...

Magic Keys went on sale Aug. 25, 2021, but some people, like Henning, have earlier expiration dates because they converted multi-day tickets into annual passes before they redeemed the last day of the standalone ticket, and the passes activated retroactively to the first day the ticket was used. Those who bought Magic Keys on the official release day are facing losing theirs in just a few weeks.

Anita Mathur’s passes will expire at the end of the month. She says that the passes enabled her family to visit regularly. “Before the reservation system, we used to go at least four times a month (sometimes more) because it was easy to be spontaneous. With the Magic Keys, we averaged three times a month on a good month. Most of the time it was just two times. Harder to be spontaneous.

Mathur said that her family will likely renew their passes because “Disney is a big part of our lives,”

...

“I go see Mickey for my mental health, so I need my pass,” Marcus said. “With the pass, it doesn't really matter how much you get done in a day, because you always know you'll be back.”

Small talk. As a city boy I’m used to minding my shit and going about my day. But when I moved to Maine I was taken aback by the amount of idle chatter that happens between strangers. Standing in line for groceries can sometimes be an exercise in true patience. I’ve gotten used to it somewhat and even find myself engaging in it on occasion but I do miss good ol’ city “impersonal” service sometimes.

r/WitchesVsPatriarchy is a woman-centered sub with a witchy twist, aimed at healing, supporting, and uplifting one another through humor and magic. The goal is to at once embrace, and poke fun at, the mystical aspects of femininity that have been previously demonized and/or devalued by the patriarchy. This subreddit is a Safe Space for Women, BIPOC, and anyone in the LGBTQ+ community. We are Sisters, not Cisters. If you do not consider yourself an ally, then this subreddit is not for you.

Because he is not going to order anything directly. That fact is not conspiracy thinking, but has been his modus operandi since election loss when is about intimidating others.

Edit: Obviously I’m talking about this in the context of him in this moment, not when is revealed who was it if he gets even put on trial.

Several employees had created a group chat on Nintendo's Microsoft Teams server called "The Laughing Zone." It was supposed to be a lighthearted place for coworkers to share memes with one another. That changed when a male translator was added to the group. Soon, he posted Reddit screenshots about why Vaporeon was the best Pokémon to have sex with. Hannah was disgusted by the explicit descriptions. When the conversation turned to Genshin Impact, the translator posted a gif of Paimon, a child character in the game. He posted about how it's okay to be sexually attracted to Paimon despite the character's childlike appearance, voice, and personality. Hannah screenshotted the sexual comments and attempted to escalate the situation with Aerotek, the staffing company she was contracted under while working at the Redmond, Washington headquarters.
 

So furry and midget porn drawings shit…

That guy is a weirdo but I seriously think she overestimated how much of a serious case she had as this stuff is probably not out of place on 4chan shit thread.

Quote
Hannah claimed that Aerotek management warned her to  :dogebe less outspoken after she reported the incident. She said that her friends from the work group chat blamed her for reporting the incident, and that the only repercussion the translator faced was being assigned sexual harassment training. Aerotek had previously fired one of its contractors for making comments about the color of Hannah’s underwear, but the translator who made the sexual comments in group chat was a full-time Nintendo employee. Working for Nintendo meant the third-party contracting company couldn’t terminate his employment. Several months ago, Kotaku reached out to the Washington-based Aerotek managers to whom Hannah had reported the incident. They did not respond by the time of publication.

 :doge

Eh… sound like one actually sexually harassed her and the other just acted like a weirdo in a shit thread/group.

Nintendo games just feel tainted by this news, knowing that people who playtested them were sexually harassed, exploited, treated like objects.

Already started contemplating leaving this hobby behind me a while back, and stuff like this makes it even easier.

 :lol

I have some bad news for you about most entertainment industries.

(Not that it makes it okay, obviously. But that is being such an naive grandstanding)

That article starts with the weakest shit ever and don’t actually starts to disclose genuine gross behavior until later. I know the author wants to made clear that contractor vs actual employee is the core issue of why they get away with this, but her first example is pretty underwhelming. Who writes this shit?

Yeah, it's an odd mix. Like some of it is definitely fucked, like apparently there was a stalker, but then they talk about how full time employees were also dating some of the contractors and that seems... fine to me? Like as long as no one was pressured into anything  :idont

Honestly gross. Let these creatures be at peace. They already went extinct once and now you want to bring them back to a world where 100 species are going extinct every day. Very cool, very normal. The fucking hubris of these lunatics.

Maybe I’m just desensitized of stuff like employees discussing gross shit about fictional characters  given I heard how much fucked up stuff is shared between animators about their respective shows

Hannah claimed that Aerotek management warned her to  be less outspoken after she reported the incident. She said that her friends from the work group chat blamed her for reporting the incident, and that the only repercussion the translator faced was being assigned sexual harassment training. Aerotek had previously fired one of its contractors for making comments about the color of Hannah’s underwear, but the translator who made the sexual comments in group chat was a full-time Nintendo employee. Working for Nintendo meant the third-party contracting company couldn’t terminate his employment. Several months ago, Kotaku reached out to the Washington-based Aerotek managers to whom Hannah had reported the incident. They did not respond by the time of publication.
What are they supposed to do about it? Lose the contract then fire her because some Nintendo weirdo is posting jokes about Pokemon in chat? :lol

If we really want to honor the thylacine, the best thing to do would not be to reintroduce them to the planet. The best thing to do would be to continue their work by picking off sick or weak animals and murking thousands of wallabies & kangaroos with no-scope headshots across the Tasmanian woodlands.

Yeah, I had rewatched Friends after Frasier a few years back and it’s wildly not funny and most jokes amount to “Well, he/she’s GAY (audience laughter)”.

You have to wonder if these people somehow watched an alternative version of Friends. It wasn't that great compared to other shows at the time. If you took Ree's opinion you'd think it was the most transphobic/homophobic show of the 90s.

It seems like a pretty basic supply/demand problem, given that all the tickets are sold out.
Especially with all those pent-up promises of "we can't go because of the pandemic, but I promise that we'll go once it's all over".
Plus Disney taking over Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars while not really increasing the size of their parks, means there's a lot more demand than there was for Disney Princesses and... does anyone actually care about Mickey/Minnie/Donald/Goofy any more?
Once the park hits full capacity on most days, the pricing is going to trend towards "whatever the most desperate people are willing to pay".

Time to build more parks, I guess? Or wait for all these bandwagon-jumping superhero fans to leave when Sony opens Morbius World in 2025.

Curious, anyone without kids go to the place a lot? Seems so family focused that unless you have kids it's not that appealing. The Landing is kinda wack.

Another thing to point out, the cast members are not nearly as friendly or in character anymore like they used to be. IDK if it's a training thing, labor pool thing, or what
