People who say that Clinical Trial's ending is "bad" and "problematic" annoy me. Not every piece of media needs to distribute perfect karmic retribution to every good and bad character like it's a fairy tale. Sometimes there are situations in the world where doing something morally ambiguous or even "wrong" can net the best outcome for all the people involved. The dev is not saying the acceptance ending is morally right just because it's definitively the best outcome for both Lee and Angel.
The dev is also not saying stalking is right or even permissible, the game does not shy away from showing and explaining why what Lee did is bad. But, the game also knows these characters have complex motivations, and Angel's acceptance reaction makes just as much sense for their character as the rejection ending.
I love how the game does not try to shove morality down your throat and simply allows you to come to your own conclusions.
I hate these kinds of articles, we know Captain obvious. Unless you have a magical cure for my insomnia, that is not happening. I'd much rather have a fucked up back and neck rather than having a sad fucked up brain from getting no sleep.
My boyfriend didn’t go to university until he was 28 because he didn’t feel anywhere near ready when he was 18. He graduated with first-class honours, went on to do a Masters, and is now a history teacher. It’s so much more important to do things when you’re able to fully commit to them and do them to the best of your ability than to rush to do them by an imaginary deadline.
Be mindful of anti-proletariat rhetoric.
Don't tolerate bullshit ideas like "unskilled labor", all labor is skilled, and capitalists want you to believe in it so they can justify paying hard working people practically nothing. If someone is giving their time and energy to someone else, they deserve respect no matter what.
Don't tolerate parents teaching their children to look down upon common laborers as "trashy work".
Don't tolerate this idea that poor people are lazy, most are poor for a variety of reasons: poor mental health, no generational wealth, bad investments, drug addiction, disability, unwanted children; but none of them are just laziness. If you know any poor people, you know they bust their ass every day to get a fraction of what their bosses have.
Don't tolerate people who say you should vote for a party that doesn't give a shit about the real workers.
Don't tolerate divisive ideas meant to distract the common man from getting back the surplus value stolen from him.
Don't tolerate propagandic opinion pieces from rich folk who want to keep you ignorant.
Love the working class, and eat the rich!
The fact that the large majority of people in America look at a homeless person and think "ew, get this trash out of my sight" rather than empathizing, wanting to help that person, and reflecting on the systematic flaws that allow this to happen is a sign that your civilization has fundamentally failed at being civil, and is more comparable to savagery.
Always remember that anyone who owns little to no capital is your ally, not your enemy, and thinking so means you've bought into capitalist propaganda like a sheep.
A common argument that I hear from conservatives is that "people of the past were not so sensitive like people of today"
Mf people in 1950's America threw a tantrum because someone of a different skin color wanted to drink at the same fountain as them. Don't give me this bs about how people back then "weren't sensitive".
A lot of people on Tik Tok have migrated over to the Chinese app RedNote, and the Chinese users are so fucking funny about it. I saw one comment that was like "Welcome, I was the Chinese citizen assigned to spy on your data, I missed you"
Conspiracy theory mfs can be some of the most annoying people on planet earth.
The second you point out any flaw in their logic, it's always "your giving into the propaganda man". Or, if you ever call them a insane dumbass, they will always say "wow, my ideas are making you mad, it must be because you know I'm right" thinking they are witty.
I'm not afraid of conspiracies because I don't want to hear the truth, I am afraid of conspiracy theories because they are very much capable of spreading dangerous misinformation as fact and harming people in the process.
I am willing to listen to any ideas, but you can't just present your far-out speculation based on cherrypicked evidence and get mad when people have the nerve to question your ideas.
Anyways, that's my rant. Just decided to blow off some steam because I got into an argument with some right-wingers on reddit who were going off about the "Jewish elite".
Remember: Thinking an opinion is bad just because the majority of people believe it is just as fallacious as saying something is bad because a minority of people believe it.
Also, just having an uncommon opinion does not automatically make you a "free thinker", you can still be unwittingly indoctrinated by a small group of people. Look at cults as an example.
I'm mostly talking to right-wingers and TERFS with this one, but it's a good thing for everyone to know.
I like to watch bad low-budget movies, and I found the film monsters (1993) (Russian). They use live action footage of small animals as the "monsters". As a rat owner, I find it hilarious how they try to make the rats look threatening. (No animals were actually harmed in filming)
Just your average male bisexual anarchist DNI: Terfs, Antishippers, Authoritarians and all others that hate fun
