from what I can see they've spent the past week tying themselves into knots over how to enjoy a tv show while still feeling its intellectually beneath them

I don't think [Pop Culture] has commented on edgy hell show. No, last few pages has been on Fallout. Turns out Fallout is at its best entirely on rails and no more than 6 hours.

the way it works is simple you will all assigned to an army at random and you will die for that army

The hazbin hotel lady might be a terf too which is something fun that could explode eventually

KirbyKhan posted:

Wait, if it's not edgy then why is twitter so weird about it? I retract my warning upon review of the material. Hazbin must be the alternative media topic to Fallout

Finally a thread where we can discuss the Wins Above Replacement metric

BearsBearsBears posted:

Their methodology is all hosed up. Number of battles won is way overvalued. Generals who win large amounts of easy battles are being placed higher than generals who win very difficult battles. He's apparently aware of this and added a "war per battle" statistic after people complained but he doesn't create a second visualization.

I don't believe there's any alternate history out there about "well what if the Soviets just lost the eastern front" because they weren't ever going to

mdemone posted:

that would've changed things but it's almost as unlikely as winning the eastern front would have been for them

Americans take note: the key to an empire on which the sun never sets is channeling the power of barely repressed homosexuality.

My boyfriend has always been a left wing guy. Part of what I liked about him is that he believes in things and has been involved in various good causes. However, the combination of Bernie losing the dem primary and COVID seems to have changed him into a completely different person and I’m scared of who he has become. He started following supposedly far leftist people on and reading various weird conspiracy sites, it started off relatively small like how he kept going on about how Biden was a corporate stooge or how Warren was a plant by the DNC to take away votes from Bernie; stuff where maybe there was an element of truth but where a narrative of maliciousness was created where there wasn’t really. It kept getting more extreme though; when the BLM protests started he wouldn’t get involved with any of the protests despite having been involved before with them and everyone asking him to.

When our POC friends tried to educate him on why the protests were important he kept saying that BLM was CIA backed and it was designed to alienate the working classes from each other. Whenever anyone would explain that the there’s literally no evidence for that and that he was basically repeating a far right conspiracy he literally calls us all sheep and that we're blinded by our 'ideology'.
From there he has really spiralled, he refused to vote for Biden and called him a rapist and kept pushing all of those discredited Ukraine stories. Whenever I tried to show him how that was discredited by the NYT he called me an ‘idiot’ for believing the NYT and that it was democrat propaganda. He said he didn’t vote for Trump but it honestly wouldn’t surprise me; right before election day he posted this big rant on facebook about how Biden was a puppet of the neocons and the ‘military industrial complex’.

Some other conspiracies he now shares include:
9/11 was planned by a sinister cabal of people in government, the military and the CIA (according to him the CIA is basically responsible for everthing that happens everywhere)

Corbyn (british left wing guy accused of being anti semitic) was set up by ‘powerful Zionists’
Literally every Epstein conspiracy ever even ones that contradict each other

A certain very famous and beloved film director is the head of Hollywood pedophile group that basically includes 90% of famous people (he keeps accusing famous people of being pedos or being friends with epstein)
I know these are all massive loving neon red flags, but I think that this year has basically destroyed his mental health and I feel like I can’t leave him like this because it will just lead him to spiral into a really dark place. To his credit, he hasn’t really got into the coronavirus conspiracies, he says that he is neutral, though he has recently started saying that the drug companies were exaggerating their vaccine results to inflate their share prices so I’m really worried he’s falling down that rabbithole as well.

Has anyone else dealt with this, and has anyone else managed to save a loved one from this conspiracy madness?

i genuinely want to understand what makes actual adults post like this.

It's not funny or edgy and makes you come across like a miserable rear end in a top hat
