:solidarity: Fuck cancer

It’ll happen to you!

They're great for ordering faster than the other 4 people you went to lunch with so you get your food first :meow-coffee:

I read the whole thing in his voice :rat-salute:

:comfy:

This city should not exist. It is a monument to Man's arrogance.

The night an essay is due is not the time to learn BibTeX , but you'll never have to deal with CitationMachine again

I also like Zotero for tracking citations, and it can export BibTeX

:frothingfash:

Well, there’s H3 on the moon

Y'know, I don't really trust our civilization to responsibly extract anything from anywhere, and tides seem kind of important

The Texas gop is trying to pass voter suppression measures in the name of “election integrity”. In an above averagely effective application of their normal tactics (running away), Democratic members of the legislature left Texas to prevent a quorum. Greg Abbot called a special legislative session to try to pass the bills, but now too many republicans have the rona to reach a quorum anyways

:shapiro-poplar:

That’s the same as :LIB: posting day

Gottem 😎

Brain wrinkles are stored as a float :sicko-no:

Trust nobody, Not even yourself

:pika-pickaxe:

giving myself oral cancer to own the libs

The only legit ISK doubling service in New Eden! Just read my bio for how to WIN BIG

You’ll have to pry them out of my cold, dead hands :possum-mama:

They targeted gamers.

Gamers.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.

We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.
