Hah, I was talking to lala about this the other day. In San Francisco, gayest city on earth, there’s this interesting phenomenon where if you talk to gay guys over a certain age many of them have this kind of almost-conservative mindset. Like they feel like social justice initiatives have pushed their culture into the spotlight which provokes reactionary sentiment. They’d rather just have their low key enclave and be left alone rather than forced into a culture war. -

The dramatic over representation of trans people and ethnic minorities can be a little weird. But in general I just don’t really give a shit about advertisements and have enough of a life that it doesn’t upset me one way or the other.
My only point though is that there’s not some big mystery here. Go ask liberal people why trans are on TV all the time and they’ll just tell you. There is no need for a conspiracy theory to explain it. -

Since you’ve been away for a while it might be good to highlight that ole crispy cream there is allegedly an underage girl and a pedobaiter. Encourage pic posting or otherwise interact at your own risk -

I’m all for batshit social control conspiracy theories, but in this case it seems like the stated goal of inclusivity explains the situation wholly satisfactorily. Like ugliness (or at least what is perceived as ugliness in the dominant perspective) is elevated in the commons to normalize it as non-ugly not to corrupt but just to garner acceptance for people that look that way. I mean it’s the same old overton-window-shifting logic that you see a lot of in modern liberal social politics, and I’d argue it’s confused and a fundamentally illiberal strategy to effect change, but I think the logic behind it is clear enough that we don’t need to invoke evil media controlling cabals to explain it. -

Originally posted by Grimace In the desktop arena, I personally cannot recommend buying a prebuilt gaming computer. IBuyPower, CyberPowerPC, and all of those other prebuilt systems are essentially junk. They use bottom tier motherboards, bottom tier RAM, bottom tier NVME, bottom tier liquid or air cooler, and only go mid-range on the CPU and GPU. Case is custom made in house, costs them pennies on the dollar and is usually shit.
So I admit I bought a box from CyberPower recently and have been pretty happy with it. First time I've ever done it, always operated by the principle that real men assemble their own computers and having someone else do it is a sign of moral weakness. But this one was a work machine and I didn't want to expense each part separately, and didn't want to spend the time doing the assembly, so figured since I was spending someone else's money then let's just do it. I did the deal where you pick the parts and they assemble, for each piece they did have a "mystery meat whatever's cheap and in stock" option, but you could pick specific brands/models, usually at some (fairly reasonable) upcharge.
I mean yes, you do pay for the service and your selection of parts is more limited, I'm sure you're paying some markup and you just generally have fewer options to control price. It's not optimal in terms of what you pay to get a working machine. But now that I'm not a broke student trying to cobble together something to play crysis in my dorm room I kinda appreciate trading cash for less research/assembly time/stress -

Originally posted by the man who put it in my hood Why does everyone know about this book lol apparently it's really popular
It got popular because it’s like the Michael Bay version of avant garde postmodern lit. I mean it is avant garde postmodern lit, it’s just packaged to hold the attention of ADHD children effectively so it managed to get some popularity with the general public instead of just book wonks and /lit/.
It’s good and worth reading, but be forewarned that both Danielewski and his fans are fedora tipping edge lords and your time will be wasted on infantile meta bullshit with some regularity -
