The Metal Gear Series can be interpreted as a story about how we go from

soldiers (invading soldiers) they're trying to make out as the real victims in all this?

to

We tried to build a better world for the poor soldiers and just exponentially increased the amount and scale of conflicts, guess militarism and interventionism were bad the whole time!

Along with it's other themes of nuclear disarmament, anti-imperialism, govt. surveillance, information warfare, surrealism, a few episodes of the xfiles or twin peaks chopped up and randomly inserted, all in various stages of being coherent or half-baked.

Like, Solid Snake, Big Boss are fucking dumbos who need to have everything repeated to them twenty times before they grasp basic concepts, near every character in these games can only understand information by relating it to their experience on the battlefield, when they talk about how sad they are at being used as a human pawn in unnecessary conflicts it's because they tried to get a job at a grocery store and got fired after a day for radioing their supervisor every time they had to press a new button on the cash register and then instinctively destroyed every cctv camera in the store with one of the 17 guns taped to their back, and maybe this is why it's bad we raise people from birth to be part of a cult of killing machines.

If this isn't a parody of American military worship

It is, this is a game where you get so mad at being betrayed by the US you join the Sandinistas and blow up Guantanamo bay

No-one posting here is in favour of how Ukrainians are currently being dragged to the front lines against their will to be used as cannon fodder. This post is about how openly the current Ukrainian Gov has promoted the nazi collaborators of the past to be today's heroes and is asking Poland to pretend their crimes against humanity never happened in order to put up a united front against Russia.

I feel the same way as an nb person who will be treated and regarded as a he/him in most public situations, I just no longer feel like it’s my fault when I get rejected from spaces for being insufficently masculine or not displaying that masculinity appropriately, fuck you I wasn’t trying to meet your standards anyway.

I see myself as part of the community but here to be an ally and provide support while trying not to take up space.

I don’t know if it’s just one or two different people but I do notice every now and again there’s a new account on the site complaining about megathreads, frequent posters and that hb isn’t forming a revolutionary vanguard.

I would have been fired after a day for being unable to hide my disgust

Wow, TERF Island can provide screenings for autism and ADHD in a timely fashion instead of a multi-year waiting list, but only when it provides an opportunity to be transphobic.

I got ten minutes in and this video is not for me, I’m happy to see how much Ian has grown as a person though.

Honey replacement = Agave syrup / agave nectar.

There are a lot of branded cheese alternatives, and recipes online to turn silken tofu into a cheese imitation.

I hope not cos my own reflection does not match what I want myself to be
