Is there a certified photo of Nepenthe? I am asking for a friend.
FFS. This forum community calls out theft of games and piracy, bans members who admit to doing illegal things, posts endless threads about the wrongdoings of individuals on twitch & YT, not to mention the corps and devs./pubs. who treat people horribly, but a sculpture and people act like it's ok. Are some posters just fine with stealing artwork suddenly?
Congrats op, you just gave the people that claim others get offended for no reason just to be offended real ammunition. So I suppose you think from now on all games must have completely fictional environments with no real relations or inspiration from real world locations, becaue your argument makes no sense otherwise.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/a-friendly-public-service-announcement-about-what-rest-in-power-means.653397/Quote from: NepentheWhen people pass away, it is common to say "rest in peace" as a platitude to wish their soul a good eternal rest. In a more agnostic sense, it's also just politeness and good form. However, you may have seen people use "rest in power" and may have wondered what the difference is. It's usually used for folks who fit one of three categories:1.) An activist who has contributed greatly to Black, Indigenous, and LGBT civil rights causes.2.) A person who died as a result of police or state brutality.3.) A person whose work has otherwise contributed positively and notably to the cultural milieu and pride of Black, Indigenous, and LGBT people.Merely being Black, Indigenous, or LGBT and passing away doesn't necessarily mean use of "rest in power" is appropriate upon a person's passing. Again, it's based upon the above criteria. Essentially, you had to have done some significant work to contribute to the betterment of those who currently suffer oppression.By all means, mourn your childhood and media heroes when they pass. But do not step on the toes of activists and victims of brutality in the process.Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Quote What JK Rowling does in terms of using her fame, platform and money to fund and platform transphobic ideas and people is very much about achieving a specific goal of killing trans people, both by emboldening the more violent bigots and by driving trans people to suicide. She is not just someone with "fucked up views". There's are trans people out there who are now dead, who would be alive were it not for her. She is a monster.If she was actually responsible for any of this, she’d be in fucking jail, chief. Holy shit stop throwing around accusations of this nature without proof.

AI art may be a form to express creativity and feel you can do something nice. But of course it wont replace artists and handmaid art, just wont, I think a handmaid art has more value than AI art

I had an inkling about that, lots of lurkers and stalkers. But at least Kiwifarms is dead thanks to Keffals.
Controversial threads get lots of eyes on them especially ones that end with “we need to review reports”And very unfortunately that sorta thread tends to get bolstered views wise by the websites that engage in cyberstalking people who….have opinions about video games.

No. But if you must, don’t put the japanese word nobody understands in the title. That’s super cringe.
If Kiwifarms is back then where's the banbot?
Sure, band together and create the EU which then almost immediatley gets to work replacing you through mass immigration of Africans and Pajeets? And also to kill Russians I guess, even though they aren't that far off biologically from Poles and are certainly closer relatives than the Africans and Muslims you've welcomed in with open arms to rape women in Cologne. The whole thing seems like an emabarrasing shit show is all.

I will preface this by saying we live in Tennessee, and I feel like every single couple our age or younger (around 26-27) my wife and I know either had a house built or has a house. I don’t understand how people afford it. We live in a pretty well-sized apartment with our dog, and we definitely want a house, but between rent, bills, etc. how the fuck are we supposed to afford it? I don’t understand how couples who just got married are getting homes.It makes us feel like we’re behind compared to our friends and people we know. I feel embarrassed every time we tell people we live in an apartment. Is life just a constant race to have as much as other people?

Your neighbors are either rich, have rich parents, or have rich cosigners

That house is probably a $700 per month mortgage at most. How much is that MFer paying in rent where its cheaper than buying?

You should look into health disparities and outcomes before you post this kind of shit.The life expectancy of Latine, Black and Native American populations was disproportionately reduced because of racialized oppression.It’s closer to meme status now with Republican leaning whites leading the charge on Covid mortality, but even that isn’t something to cheer when we consider the broader systems that lead to it.Shit is tiring
