So Time Heals All Wounds, I Guess. It Wasnt Time That Did It.

So time heals all wounds, I guess.                                      It wasn’t time that did it.

PEDRO PASCAL & BELLA RAMSEY as JOEL & ELLIE in THE LAST OF US (2023-)

“If you don’t think there’s hope for the world, why bother going on? You keep going for family.”

For Americans:

Apparently the “Ban TikTok” bill has loads of stuff crammed into it that, effectively, gives the government free access to everything you do online. They have access to anything you have connected online, your cloud storage, your transactions, social media, your accounts. They’ll even have access to your Steam Marketplace and your Youtube and Twitch accounts.

The bill also gives the US government the ability to say you’re working with a foreign adversary based on transactions, data sharing, etc. This can apply retroactively.

This means that if the US government labels any nation an adversary, any data sharing or transactions into that country, past, present or future, can be under scrutiny and potentially be used as evidence of aiding a foreign power. The punishment for this can be up to 20 years in prison.

They’re using banning TikTok as a trojan horse to push through other legislation that will curb your freedom and privacy on the internet forever. 

It is being called “The Patriot Act” for the internet.

Hogwarts Legacy update!

We've confirmed the plot: there's an uprising among the race of hook-nosed bankers who control the economy. (Note that the more evil they are, the bigger their noses are. There's a good one who has a big nose but he used to be evil when he was younger.) They're "rebelling" because they want their stolen cultural artefacts to be returned to them and want to not be oppressed anymore, which for some reason means they also want to massacre their oppressors' entire race, because of course marginalised people asking for liberation actually secretly want to kill you. As part of this sinister cabal's nefarious plot for white—I mean, wizard—extinction, they want to kidnap a child, because that's what hook-nosed bankers like to do, right? And their leader is willing to do anything for material gain, up to and including teaming up with fascists who hate his race.

You guys know that conspiracy theorists think Jews funded the Holocaust, right? They claim we did it so we could milk it for reparation money afterwards. And did you know they think we kidnap children? Or that we actually want supremacy rather than equality, and plan to subjugate the rest of the world for our own gain? Presumably you've at least heard the claim that we control the banks. And you know this is all very popular with the alt right, don't you? Have you also heard that this game's original head developer was an alt right YouTuber?

Don't act like this is a fucking coincidence.

No, JKR wasn't involved in the game, and it's actively intended to be trans-positive. Yes, she gets money from it, and will likely donate some of that to anti-trans causes. But even if you pirate the game so she doesn't make any money off of it, you're still going to be be playing the fucking Protocols of the Elders of Gringotts.

Fucking TALK ABOUT THIS.
