Reminds me of how homophobes love to claim that Rome fell because of gay people. Which, if you actually know anything about Rome, is in fact a strong argument in favor of gay people.

For real? I never checked out KMFDM because I saw their name translated as "No mercy for the majority" and assumed they were on some "might makes right, crush the weak" fash shit.

I have plenty of sympathy for Vietnam War veterans.

There are times when I get overwhelmed by my org work and start to regret joining. Wonder if I should step back and focus on getting my own life together. Then I see news like this.

For years, years we were sounding the alarm on this and the libs gave us nothing but venom. "It's just a stutter!" Now that the evidence is completely impossible to ignore, they quietly change their position to match ours without ever acknowledging that they were wrong or treated us unfairly.

And Zionists will tell you with a straight face that saying Israel is committing genocide is antisemitic.

I'm not the one who's focused on it. Other people keep bringing it up. I just give my honest take when the subject arises.

Not just cis whites, I got driven out of a Discord that was like 1/3 trans for saying that I wouldn't vote for the Democrats because they support genocide. I talked about this previously, but I've had similar experiences since then among people who were otherwise strongly left-leaning.
If you live in the imperial core, there is no faster or surer way to make an enemy of everyone around you than to stand by your conviction that those in the periphery are human.

Yep, Citations Needed did an episode about this. It's a tactic old enough to have been used in defense of American plantation slavery.

You have 2 choices that actually matter, and everything else is just "Trump" but indirectly
Please explain how not choosing Kamala is choosing Trump, but not choosing Trump isn't choosing Kamala

Every time the program compiles, malloc() allocates a different amount of memory. A third of these crash the system because ChatGPT pulled a joke post claiming that a single integer takes up 128GB.

Was browsing through someone's post history, no doubt the same person who just replied recently. Didn't notice the thread was so old because their most recent post was so new, lol.

I've seen many liberals claim that "the Soviets didn't really liberate the concentration camps in their territory, they just put them under new management."
Amazing how they manage to project every single time.
Apparently there's a plot point that involves Gaia creating the Ratkin to eradicate humanity's "surplus population" through disease, which has some very uncomfortable implications, especially in the light of the gross indifference to human life that the ruling class has exhibited in the wake of Covid-19. I realize this is hinged on a lot of assumptions (that this information is accurate in-universe and that Gaia, as the personification of the Earth, serves as a mouthpiece for the creators' environmentalist views), which is why I'm asking.
How much longer will they deprive us of *Shadowrun: Hong Kong 97*?
Being sick enough typically meant spending the day laying in bed, alternately shivering and burning, drifting in and out of sleep, occasionally puking, and *that was still preferable to spending the day at school.*
My org has like 8 events on the calendar for this upcoming week and I'll need to attend at least 2-3. The first one isn't until tomorrow but seeing those updates just drained me of energy and now all I want to do is lay down and tune out the world.
For the most part, the article speaks for itself, though I did want to add some elaborations of my own. At first blush, Marta Velasquez, the game's protagonist, seems like the stereotypical Strong Female Character (tm): a misguided attempt to make an admirable female character by having her embody all the traits of toxic masculinity. What becomes apparent as one plays through the game, though, is that we're not supposed to admire these traits, and in fact the game spends a fair amount of time dissecting and criticizing toxic masculinity through her. Velasquez is a hazard to everyone around her, carelessly blasting her wingmen, sabotaging her organization so she can fly more missions, constantly threatening her coworkers with violence, *and the world reacts accordingly.* Her coworkers fear and despise her, her self-centered attitude gets in the way of her organization's mission, and she largely spends the game digging herself into a deeper and deeper hole. She is, at best, a terribly broken person in desperate need of therapy, only tolerated by those around her out of pity or necessity. That's doing quite a bit with a female protagonist for 1994, and a hell of a lot more than any contemporary games I can think of (Metroid 2 and Super Metroid *maybe* come close).
No I will not elaborate
The only naive mistake on any players' part would be playing with this guy in the first place Pinging [@UlyssesT@hexbear.net](https://hexbear.net/u/UlyssesT) because I know you hate this stuff too
There's still a lot of sprites left to do for this guy, but the rest should be much easier now that I have a base to work off of. Tagging [@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net](https://hexbear.net/u/Dirt_Owl) because they liked the WIP.
- Blue lines indicate base of neck - Yellow lines indicate neck - Green indicates head (with snout outlined) - Red indicates eyes Want to make sure nothing jumps out as blatantly wrong with proportions/perspective before I proceed any further, so that I can correct those mistakes while it's still easy to do so. I am not anything resembling a trained artist, so any advice would be greatly appreciated, even if it seems obvious.
"Make it less square" isn't really an option, since the attack it's used for needs a square hitbox.
Here's what I've tried so far: - Made the default "ASP.NET Core API" project (the weather forecasting one) in Visual Studio - Built it and copied the contents of the build folder to C:\Users\\[My username]\TestService - Ran the TestService executable. It says "Now listening on: http://localhost:5000" - Open my browser, enter the "http://localhost:5000" URL. I get a 404 error. This is all on the same computer. - Noticed that, under launchSettings.json, there were some other URLs listed, none of them localhost:5000. It gives 2 https URLs: https://localhost:7079 and http://localhost:5222. Both of these give "connection refused" errors. - At this point, I don't know what else to do Please help I don't want to lose my job **EDIT:** I was able to figure out what was going on. Solution is [here.](https://hexbear.net/comment/5348975) Thanks to hypercracker and everyone else who advised ![heart-sickle](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hexbear.net%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F14c2707b-51cb-44ed-be2f-f262d088e219.png "emoji heart-sickle")
