The Euros and Brits in their “garden” are just now beginning to understand what it actually means to be vassals of their “ally” the US. Most will still find a way to blame it on their go-to mustache-twirling Putler Marvel villain somehow, rather than the leader of the regime who outright and openly said they’d make sure Europe would not be allowed energy independence. Europe is in for some trying times ahead (to put it lightly) and even more so because their countries’ imaged “sovereignty” and wealth is going to be siphoned away even more than it already is by the very empire those countries used to only benefit from.

Any person who thinks China is imperialist either A) Doesn’t know what imperialism is, B) Believes silly lies about China that are easily and readily proven false, or C) Are themselves the ones spreading those lies for ideological reasons.

Then why are you the one with mod removed comments and the one getting upvote ratioed? @booty is actually making sense.

That word is internet slang, moron. It doesn’t need to be tightly defined like it’s scientific nomenclature. Even if it did, the way it’s being used by the person talking to you is perfectly fine and understandable.

But I’m not surprised this is what you’re getting hung up on because it’s clear you have no idea what context is. You have demonstrated you are completely ignorant of the importance of historical and geopolitical context in general, and completely ignorant of the specific historical and geopolitical context of the Middle East. And now with your “hurr durr that’s not what ‘simping’ means!!1!” deflection, you’re showing you also don’t understand the fundamental importance of context in language. It’s no wonder you can’t see anything beyond lines on a map.

Using language to refer to other people is one of the evil, oppressive outcomes of civilization. Just like being able to feed people beyond a few hunter-gatherers is evil and oppressive. All of this must be eradicated. Don’t you know, that’s what it means to be liberated?

you’ve become conditioned to parrot the party line and be rewarded for it, no matter how disconnected from reality it becomes.

Pretty rich coming from someone who parrots the US State Department’s line on every AES country and every successful revolution.

you need that dopamine hit of the collective praising you for owning the anarkiddies

Right, yeah, that’s sure what happens all the time on an instance where people get banned for being anti-anarchist, anti-anarchist sentiment will get a comment removed, and where a good number of the users, even some mods and “power users” are themselves openly anarchist. Yet you run a “community” that bans anyone and everyone with the slightest hint of support for those ebil AuThOrItArIaN socialist countries, and constantly post threads about how dumb and mean those theory-reading “tankies” are. Projection much?

Is that some kind of pig-latin or code that we’re supposed to “read into”? or is one of us having a stroke?

Weird bit.

Obama notoriously destroyed his entire political apparatus once it had served his purpose

How? What is this referring to?

tests of skill and ability are inherently ableist. There are plenty of games that allow pausing, they’re the majority, even. Let people have some that don’t for artistic or ludic purposes.

“Let us have a little ableism, as a treat.”

The thing is, it doesn’t need to be either/or.

I could try to get those to stop being made or i can go play any of the thousands of other games that aren’t like that

Or devs could do the same thing they’ve been doing for decades with difficulty levels. Before the start of a game, let users choose the difficulty levels and that could include whether or not they can pause the game. Users who wish to can then pause. This can be locked into the entirety of that playthrough. Problem solved.

Games almost never have to actually choose between ableism and the dev’s vision for difficulty or pacing or whatever the fuck. Just give people the option. Hell, it would encourage people like me who struggle with difficult games to experience the game the way I am able, then try it again with higher difficulty (without being able to pause) rather than simply never being able to experience the game in the first place.

Given the reasons you listed why you can’t play certain games, wouldn’t you appreciate it if devs made the game in such a way where you could still choose to play it in the way you can, and let others play it as is? Obviously this isn’t possible in all cases, and some while possible might require such a huge revamp of the game that it would effectively be a different game. This is not the case for simply being able to pause the game.

This isn’t a lot to ask of devs for large masses of people who live lives where they will have to step away from a game without notice but would also like to not be punished by the game for doing so or outright unable to play it because of that life.
