What does this mean? I'm not American and this just seems incomprehensible to me.
So is Pyro, I think.
The wheels on my bus have been going round and round, but now I can finally get them to stop!
This is something I can retroactively apply to my overwatch days. Playing as a group with voice chat was fun as hell, playing with randos was always hit or miss, with the miss always being the same: Someone (or several someones) treating the game like a single player game and the rest of their team as NPCs who need to follow their orders. And of course, Overwatch had a ton of tweaks to deal with this "problem" with the software in the way you describe with Helldivers, and Overwatch 2 is a "team" game built around everyone doing their own thing with 0 real co-operation or coordination and is awful as a result.
And if the second season didn't devolve into generic flying mech battles and "I'm 14 And This Is Deep" philosophy about killing god or whatever.
I'm surprised that I haven't seen this already. I would've thought it would be a lot more common. Hell, I'm surprised this isn't a default option when they buy the cybertruck.
I believe it depends on the individual, you should always ask which pronoun they prefer first.
I am a millenial and I know exactly 1 couple who own their own home, and they required help from their relatively wealthy parents, plus they themselves went into massive, massive debt to get it. They both had very well paid jobs when they bought the house, like top 30% of income in the country. And they regret how much they've spent on the house, it's completely ruined their finances for the rest of their lives.
As for the rest of my millennial friends, none of us could ever imagine owning a house, with a few of my friends being couchsurfers because their jobs don't pay enough to even afford rent.
And we don't even have basements in houses in Australia.
This whole thing is so insidious. These were the people making these claims, and now that others have debunked them, they pretend to have been the ones debunking them themselves. They act like these claims just popped out of the ether, like all claims about the west's enemies when they are proven to be lies. They pretend to act with "integrity" by correcting the record, but they always pretend that they aren't the ones responsible for the lies in the first place and that they just happened. I'm so fucking sick of how the western media operates.

I've never done body pillows or merch before because I'm worried I'm just not a good enough artist. But seeing shit like this that looks like deviantart circa 2008 or so makes me think I'm doing alright.
Hi! Long time lurker, first time poster. Been discussing stuff with MLs of all stripes recently, and have come across a common statement used by a lot of Maoists which frustrates me.
They seem to always fall back on statements like "The CPC allows billionaires in their ranks, so they are revisionist."
Maoists have often used this as a kind of "gotcha" argument against more traditional MLs, or "Dengists" as they love to label us.
It's frustrating, because...I don't disagree really, allowing members of the bourgeoisie to hold political power is pretty much the definition of revisionism. The problem is, this feels more like a way to silence dissent or discussion rather than facilitate it. Feels like an overly simplistic hard line that simplifies history into binary divisions. Often followed by an implied "China is revisionist, therefore Maoism is the only working form of socialism."
I'm reaching out to people to see if anyone has any ways to combat this, in a way that encourages discussion rather than it just devolving into insults or truisms hurled back and forth without thought.
Oh I see, so it's the usual racist "You can't be two things because that makes my brain hurt, so you must be only one thing!"
