Stickers all over the inside and in the water dispenser, ain’t a chance in hell this fridge ever gets a clean.
Didn’t she also go to school in Ukraine to allegedly take Ukranian language courses (while her entire family is Ukranian), but then somehow this random student was also such close friends with the Canadian ambassador to Ukraine that she was allowed unrestricted access to the fucking diplomatic pouch?
I think the only context this can’t be creepy as shit is if he means to imply that she was like, the daughter of a friend of his or a colleague or something and that’s how they initially met, and then when she was an adult he gave her a job or something. That’s literally the only way this can’t be creepy.
I know colonizer larping, but at least I get a relatively honest vibe from Townsends. Like his interest in colonial history only really seems to extend to just the day to day life, rather than a focus on the colonial aspect of it. He did do a number of cooking videos in regards to the life and food of the enslaved, and is very honest about the fact that Washington was a slave-owner.
Guess just saying that there could be far worse out there for historical interpretation, though I think that’s cause he doesn’t explicitly get political, so lord knows if he’s got chud views or not.
The capitalism it portrays fundamentally is just normal capitalism without any of the pretenses: it strips away the niceties of the imperial core and dials up the fascist death cult shit to the point where violence is a constant facet of life, but all the corruption and brutality that maintain capitalist hegemony are just done out in the open instead of behind closed doors or off in the periphery, far from the doorsteps of the people giving the orders.
I think it’s this bit that loses me with their attempt at critique. Like part of capitalism’s horror is the mask, trying to keep things as livable as possible for as long as possible, trying to sell you on the positives. Like yeah, you know the slop you’re eating is corn syrup and microplastics, but you get sold on warm advertising and nostalgic brands, whereas in Cyberpunk 2077 they throw it all out and just go “Yeah you’re eating a bar of microplastics, what of it, piggie?” It kinda adds deniability to it for G*mers to go “Well see it’s not actually capitalism because capitalism isn’t that bad” even though it fundamentally is the same.
Then again G*mers can’t understand subtlety so fair enough.
Honestly, while this Bazinga Brain take is fucking rancid, Cyberpunk 2077 is awful at portraying capitalism. The reason you can even have a take like this is because instead of showing the mundane horror that is late stage capitalism and all it brings, it over exaggerates it into this bonkers, ridiculously over the top parody that G*mers can point to and go “Ha glad we’ll never be like that”.
Of course if you tried to actually portray capitalism the G*mers would tell you it’s political so fuck it.
It’s a full out kitchen that you have hidden away, usually behind the main kitchen. It’s the kitchen that gets dirty and has all the cooking smells and stuff within it, the other kitchen is kept spotless with the highest tier appliances possible in order to show off to other petit boug types.
I get just… incredibly mad at the people who, despite not needing to wear them anymore (mask mandates ended here ages ago), still continue to wear a mask incorrectly. Like what even is the fucking point. Either wear that shit the right way, or don’t wear it. Seeing so many people in public transport wearing it around their chin, or under their nose. It’s fucking annoying.
