you can download gun breakdown files online for use in videogames, you can even crack games that already exist with those files present. you can also just model them yourself for free in blender. theres literally no way to stop literally anyone from making their own guns. the unabomber made one in his shack with spare parts and basic tools decades before 3d printers were a thought in the publics minds.
if there is a will, there is a way
im out here wondering why anyone would hand anyone credit card information to watch already downloaded pirated content.
open source to me means open source, not open/paywall/ source.
i prefer my open source free with a lil jank. as god intended.
it does better than a 3060. and that aint bad.
currency is powered by faith. if nobody believes in its value, then it has none.
actual leftists dont argue with leftists. the purity test is a myth created by the far right in an attempt to drive an ideological wedge between leftists, and the fence sitting liberal capitalists. its a self sorting myth that pushes liberal capitalists away from full class conciousness based on percieved petty differences. much like the gondolins and the horse men of rohan prior to the battle of gondor, especially under the influence of grima wormtongue, who whispered untruths and falsehoods in the ear of the bewitched king theodan, in an attempt to keep the kingdoms of men divided. even after his bewitchment, king theodan understood that he needed to put away the ledger of sins from their past with gondor, in order to prevent the fall of man. he struggled with this, but ultimately knew what had to be done when gondor called for aid. everything was at stake.
the leftist understands that its always been up vs down. and that left vs right is a distraction myth. we are like the elves, dwarves, and men of middle earth, even the hobbits. fighting against the darkness of sauron. squabbling over petty differences only serves the dark lords mission of division and permanent victory over man, bringing upon an age of darkness the likes we have never seen before.
we fight for what all that is right and good in this world. for freedom, equality, and truth. anyone who says otherwise is under the influence of forces beyond their current understanding. whether or not they succumb to ignorance is a matter of will and intellect. much like fighting the dark influence of the one ring and saurons will, it is ultimately up to the individual to imagine a world not dictated by greed and the persuit of ultimate power. but rather one where all can live together, in equality, harmony, and peace… in spite of our differences. we as their friends and would be allies also have a duty to guide them when we can, and accept them for their differences, as long as they are willing to fight along side us.
“Never thought I’d die fighting side by side with an Elf.”
“What about side by side with a friend?”
“…Aye… I could do that.”
we all share this world together, and the time of darkness is upon us all. we should remember what our fight is for, and it is not just for ourselves and our own way of life. but the lives of the men and women, and everyone inbetween and beyond. who, like us, simply want to live a full, free, and peaceful life.
there are no communist countries in the world. and there never has been. communism has never been achieved anywhere.
what you are referring to are authoritarian state capitalist societies. they may be communist/socialist in name, just not in praxis.
the only one of course. let me show you how to get there.
not a fan of authoritarian state capitalist regimes parading as “communist states” myself.
but what do i know. im just some prole. :(
I enjoyed it as well, but i also like the horror genre for all its flaws, it had some, but overall it was entertaining and ive honestly enjoyed every single 28 installment so far. I also love every friday the 13th, nightmare on elmstreet, childs play/chucky installment, etc etc. Because even when they are bad, the bad is still entertaining.
Jumping on the hate bandwagon for every single movie or game that comes out, just makes you enjoy life a little less in my opinion. And its only a matter of time when people look back on these movies and realize they were just being harsh because everyone else was.
Same thing with virtually every single franchise saga or trilogy ever made. People shit on them, then years later they get memed, and then they give them a chance and more often than not, enjoy them, without the noise and social pressure to appear like some “superior critic” when they are just somebody who spends all their time scrolling reels for dopamine rather than mining it themselves through the creative process that is creating art itself, and claiming that reward the honourable old fashioned way. Through hard work and dedication to a task or craft.
I work in film, so maybe its the struggle i know that happens behind the scenes that makes me empathize and enjoy the technical aspects others may not understand or know about. But its a good watch, most people only care about the alphas massive fake penis, but it gets the people talking, and it for sure brought people to the seats. Love it or hate it, some makeup SFX artist lovingly sculpted, casted, molded, painted, and mounted that dick onto the actor for weeks or months, and it became the immortal centerpiece of what is already a fantastic example of modern practical art. They filmed it with cellphones for petes sake.
It was well made, haters can suck a big alpha dick for all i care. Kudos to the cast and crew. Maximum profit doesnt equal artistic success. That is solely a personal achievement between the artists, and the artists themselves.
I hate when my durian doesnt burn cause it got the moist in it :(
I specifically use this platform to fly under the radar, if anyone remembers me. I apologize. Im usually on the toilet waxing bullshit till my leg goes numb.
Nope. You just didn’t comprehend what i wrote because your ego and confirmation bias got in the way of your logic. And so, you went hostile and started straw manning.
But i forgive you, reddit coded behaviour takes a while to shake off on lemmy. I wish you the best :)
Can we agree that cigarettes cause cancer, or is that lazy and reductive as well?
Other things cause cancer, sure, but we are talking about cigarettes right now. Because there is a cigarette right in front of us, causing cancer.
Analogies aside. I am talking (again) specifically about what made this article, who perpetuated it, spread it around, and for what reason? The same reason that imperialist fascism, the final evolution of capitalism before it implodes under the illusion of its own “infinite growth and adaptability”, did the exact same thing to trans people and neurodivergent people under the nazi regime in the 30’s and 40’s. Which, if you havent heard about, is back in style in the USA, concentration camps, and all.
This is a snapshot of propaganda with literal context in the photo that dictates exactly what im talking about. And you are out here ignoring analysis that you claim to want, and calling me lazy for pointing it out, giving further breakdown of my analogies, and giving my anecdotal experience of being neurodivergent under the capitalistic system we live in?¿
Pointing this out is not ignoring the history of human cruelty, it gives context as to how human cruelty can create a system that perpetuates it. and what that looks like. And more importantly, if we cant address the flaws of the system we currently live under, then we are doomed to repeat its agonies again, and again, until it consumes us all.
To simplify my statement, while including yours, so we can both go back to our families.
Humans can be big meanie weenies, capitalism rewards meanie weenie behaviour.
My point was that we live under capitalism, therefore this is one way capitalism handles neuro divergence. We can go day and night about what we think or know about other times and systems and how they treated “others” but i was merely pointing out the propaganda that is marketing under capitalism, and how they use it to make us self regulate ourselves out of commonality and acceptance, to save money on the next quarter, at the cost of human life.
Is it just capitalism that alienates and destroys the lives of people who are different? No, absolutely not. However, this specific article is a prime example of how capitalism (today) handles neurodivergence by gaslighting us against our own existence via marketing and propaganda. Corporations hate paying for accomodations, it effects their bottom line. And thats the point i was making. This is how capitalism views us, this is how it handles us, this is how they weaponise our existence, for power and profit.
I understand your point and mostly agree. However i just dont have anecdotal experience living as a herbalist in the darkages, lol. And i dont believe whataboutism addresses the issues we face specifically from the system we live under right now in the present.
I get what they were trying to do with this, but after playing around in the editor for a bit. Its a janky, slow, pos. Just learn a free open source engine.
Autism (neuro divergence in general really) under capitalism, is the engineering equivilent to being a sacrificial gear in a gear box. You have your purpose, you do it well when placed in the proper gear set. But you wear out faster than all the other gears, not because you are a bad gear, but because the system itself was designed to crush you rather than crush the bigger more expensive gears. It was built for their longevity and success, not yours. This is them giving the squeeky wheel or “gear” “the grease” in a fucked up way.
They are trying to gaslight different groups into thinking they are just a regular normal gear, and they need to just work harder, even if it means the gear breaks quicker as a result. We are cheaper to replace than we are to repair, and that is the logic that makes capitalism unworthy of human participation, it is inherently anti human in all spectrums.
“Unperson”
The fact that they are quoting a director whos biggest claim to fame was 30 years ago is very telling of his present state of mind. His best ideas are stolen, he hates copyright because he lacks any talent. He cant direct, but wants to with limited effort.
Ive worked with directors like this before, they use the word “homage” for every shot they take, they let the AD do all the actual directing work, and they sit behind the monitor looking at their cellphone during a take, and bitch occaisionally that they are running out of daylight while contributing nothing to the production besides their name and some bullshit personal relation from their childhood to the story being told in the film during a promo interview, a script which they didnt even write, they were just available when the studio called them to pump out another turd of a film. And in order to get people in the seats they claim its a “ground breaking cinematic experience” or some shit. Taking alllllllll the credit while being the smuggest piece of shit loser you have ever met. They also almost always cheat on their wives with some head of departmemt or cast member or at least try to. And they fucking LOVE blow… and shitting on every technician they can, outsourcing blame for their own ineptitude whenever possible.
Theres a really good example of this type of person in the show “brand new cherry flavor”
We all have our names for them, but my favourites are: dip shit moron, piece of shit loser, parasite, and of course, cunt.
a bit more background on this sourcd.
from the electronicintifada wikipedia page.
In April 2008, The Electronic Intifada published an article containing e-mails exchanged by members of the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA).[4] The stated purpose of the group was “help[ing] us keep Israel-related entries on Wikipedia from becoming tainted by anti-Israel editors”.[5][4][6] Five Wikipedia editors involved in a CAMERA campaign were sanctioned by Wikipedia administrators, who wrote that the project’s open nature “is fundamentally incompatible with the creation of a private group to surreptitiously coordinate editing by ideologically like-minded individuals”.[5]
After Al Jazeera decided not to publish The Lobby, its documentary about the pro-Israel political lobby in the US,[7][8] The Electronic Intifada published a leaked version online in 2018.[9][10][11]"
-Conflict with NGO Monitor over Dutch funding
"In 2010, the Jerusalem-based pro-Israel organization NGO Monitor criticized the Dutch Interchurch Organisation for Development Cooperation (ICCO) for providing financial support to The Electronic Intifada, which it said was antisemitic and compared Israeli policies with those of the Nazi regime.[12] Gerald M. Steinberg, head of the organization, described The Electronic Intifada as “an explicitly pro-Palestinian political and ideological Web site”[13] that hosts “anti-Israel propaganda.”[14] Marinus Verweij, chairman of ICCO’s executive board said “The EI reports frequently about the violations of human rights and international humanitarian law by the State of Israel. In no way is the EI anti-Israel or anti-Semitic.”[12] He described The Electronic Intifada as “an important source of information from the occupied Palestinian territories” frequently used by newspapers such as The Washington Post and the Financial Times.[12]
Dutch Foreign Ministry spokesman Ward Bezemer stated that whether ICCO had promoted antisemitism, a criminal offence, is to be determined by the Public Prosecutor on the basis of Dutch law. On 26 November 2010, Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal, who is Jewish and has an Israeli wife, said: “I will look into the matter personally. If it appears that the government subsidized NGO ICCO does fund The Electronic Intifada, it will have a serious problem with me.”[12] Rosenthal later told IKON radio that “anti-semitism is not the issue” but “my concern about calls to contribute to boycotts and embargoes”.[15]
EI co-founder MP Arjan El-Fassed, who also wrote for the website Al-Awda, told the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant that the complaint by NGO Monitor was related to one quote from an interview with Jewish Holocaust survivor and anti-Zionist Hajo Meyer in June 2009. Meyer told EI: “I can write up an endless list of similarities between Nazi Germany and Israel.”[16] In the same article, the Director of the Centre for Information and Documentation Israel (CIDI), Ronnie Naftaniel, said that The Electronic Intifada is not an antisemitic website. He stated that, while everybody should be free to express their opinion, the Dutch government should not indirectly fund a website that regularly calls for a boycott of Israel.[17]
On 14 January 2011, ICCO decided not to change its policy after a discussion held with the Dutch foreign minister.[18] In response to ICCO’s decision, The Jerusalem Post reported that Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal “will monitor ICCO’s activities. He will consider this as a minus when he makes up the balance when ICCO applies again in a new subsidies round,” as said by Ward Bezemer, a spokesman for Rosenthal."[19] Partos, a national umbrella for more than a hundred Dutch civil society organizations in the international development cooperation sector, strongly condemned Rosenthal’s threats to ICCO’s funding. “Rosenthal’s position vis-à-vis ICCO creates a dangerous precedent for the future. Development organisations will have to continue to fight for an independent voice in the debate. Partos will … stand up for that.”[20]
In April 2011, Professor of International Cooperation Studies Paul Hoebink argued that Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal has no say in Dutch government funding to ICCO because Minister Ben Knapen holds the portfolio. In addition, ICCO’s contribution to The Electronic Intifada is paid with ICCO’s own funds. Professor of International Law and Dutch politicians for the Labour Party, Nico Schrijver considered Rosenthal’s threat to cut government funding if ICCO continues its financial support to The Electronic Intifada as very worrying."
