god I love flork

From what my friend who lives in France told me, it was mainly the overall rising cost of schools becoming unaffordable

WOMP WITH THE WOMP BANGADANG

This is the most polite behaviour I’ve seen towards people blocking bike paths in Paris

What if they’re really good at sucking at video games

I bet you’d feel really foolish then

Then who did the surgery on my son??

Beat me to it! I was gonna guess it as well. Purely by the HUD

(Pre-amble, I don’t think the meme should be taken seriously and I do find it funny)

Horror is my favourite genre because it genuinely seeks to express the most primal and furious of all emotions: fear. From the goriest, straight-forward splatter fest to the subtlest discomforts of tense artsy horror films, the popular and cult favourite movies offer a fantastic reflection of that generation/culture’s deepest vulnerabilities.

Slashers like Friday the 13th were about the internalized self-criticism of modern, white Judea-Christian values (pre-marital sex, drugs, etc) and Nightmare on Elm Street was about parents, society, the government, etc, being unable and unwilling to help with the problems they created, problems that turn lethal. Suicide due to depression from repression, OD’ing from drugs because you need a way out, getting killed because you got mixed up with the “wrong” crowd at the wrong time, these were all things that happened to people because the “system” pushed you into a corner, and vilified any means you sought to escape.

Even “torture porn” like Saw was about feeling trapped and what extremes you’d take to “free” yourself. Terrifier, too, can offer a reflection of extreme violence offering some form of release.

Backrooms and Obsession are so relevant because they too talk about our fears of being trapped in the endlessly mundane, or attachments that we cling to beyond the safety of ourselves and others.

This is a really general rant so I’ve glossed over and even ignored so many nuances. Not to mention that I’m really not eloquent enough to really hit every nail on the head… and each person will pull their own unique experiences from horror.

I genuinely love it when people find something they can connect with in horror, regardless of what generation or subgenre they find.

edit: head not hand

Great, that means were gonna fight mecha hitler in the 2040s

It’s because most anvils were tuned to G. It was considered the original root scale step because anvils often worked best when tuned to G. But back in those days, it was called Sol (Solfège.) In french, Sol means ground, which is at the bottom. Ergo, every hammer driven by the smith was really just a sort of mating call that sent all the bottoms running to the smith’s doorstep. This is where the expression “she built like an anvil” comes from

I always forget this fact because it’s so incredulous. Then I re-learn it every time. I’m not looking forward to Alzheimer’s

that explains my sterility. i always watched with my balls glued to the screen

The right only tends to be organized because of boot-licking disguised as hero-praising, their love of rigid hierarchies (even among the libertarians, though they’ll call toxic social behaviour “law of the jungle,”) and general unification towards “the enemy,” which constantly shifts as needed. The right becomes self-destructive as it allows itself to be overtly fascist, because then they circle in on themselves (RINO’s, marginalized people voting right-wing, etc)

It’s not that different than leftist in-fighting (although it comes from different place I think.) IMO the greatest weakness the left has is that we’re nowhere near as organized and as motived for unified change as the right.

This is great, sometimes you need to have those solid, clear boundaries.

If you want to be somewhat “diplomatic,” what I’ll do is give a response depending from whom it comes from.

Not my boss: “please check with my boss to see if he wants me to drop anything to help you.”

my boss: “I’m doing x, y, and z. Which do you want me to drop so I can do this new task?”

Shit yourself as LOUDLY as possible

You mean the metric system?

The m stands for tiMbit

shit, was that me? that sounds like me. cyberpunk runs pretty bad on the deck, bg3 is pretty choppy… but older games like DS1 and DS2 seem to run pretty smooth for me, but I’ve always been bad at noticing quality.

good because elsewise I’d make a buffet outta him hahaha eat the rich you know what I mean

not having a jay-z weenie roast though. nothing wrong with that just trying to watch my calories.
